	Movies - Space Godzilla

Space Godzilla (スペースゴジラ - Supêsu Gojira, alternatively written SpaceGodzilla), is a modified clone of Godzilla featured in the VS Series of Godzilla films. In Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla (1994), the film which introduced the creature, characters hypothesize that Godzilla cells somehow cast into space fell into a black hole and reemerged, mutated and now a partially crystalline life form, from a white hole. As to how its cells had entered space in the first place, the film offers two possibilities: either cells from Godzilla's previous clone Biollante escaped Earth orbit after the kaiju did battle (Godzilla vs. Biollante, 1989) or Mothra inadvertantly carried the cells into space en route to deflecting a meteor headed for Earth (Godzilla vs. Mothra
, 1992). The Trendmasters toyline introduced Space Godzilla in its Godzilla Wars line, and introduced a slightly modified origin based solely on the Mothra theory, in which Godzilla cells did not become a crystalline life form through the exposure to Black and White Holes, but rather a fusion with a pre-existing crystalline life form.

The kaiju has not appeared since its titular debut in any other films.

Chronology

It is often argued that, due to the time travelling and changes in history performed in Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
, Biollante should technically not have existed in the universe featuring Mothra and Space Godzilla, and should not then be known to the characters, among other plot holes caused by that particular film. It may be counterargued that the white hole from which Space Godzilla emerged in this timeline was linked to a black hole in the universe featuring Biollante. It is most likely merely one of several plot-holes throughout the VS Series chronology. The flim also featured a woman who's brother was killed in Godzilla vs. Biollante by Godzilla, featuring stock footage which suggests events happened exactly the same way.

Powers

Space Godzilla possesses powers similar to those of the original Godzilla, including an oral energy weapon called the Spiral Lightning and the benefits of Godzilla's seeming near-invincibility. It also possesses psychic powers, most notably telekinesis, and seems to have the ability to home in on Godzilla himself: the creature first lands on Birth Island, where Godzilla and Junior reside. Space Godzilla, unlike Godzilla, can power himself by means of crystalline growths which nearly double its size, by which he turns the Fukuoka Tower into a massive energy conduit and often emits EMP-like disruptions. Space Godzilla can control its crystal creations telekinetically, using them as projectiles. It can also generate a force field and throw lightning-like attacks from the crystals in its shoulders. Finally, Space Godzilla can transform between its grounded, Godzilla-like form and a massive crystalline flying form, providing both defensive and offensive advantage as in its battle with M.O.G.U.E.R.A. in the asteroid belt.
