1: Roar 2: Slash 3: Buzz saw 4: Eye beam LORE: In 1992, the combined efforts of Godzilla, Mothra, and countless other kaiju alongside humanity's aid were able to drive off the three-headed invader, King Ghidorah, albeit leaving Tokyo in ruins. However, it wasn't over. Ghidorah's image of an undefeatable god was broken. This created a large divide in the Xilens, causing them to split into two factions; one which continued to worship Ghidorah as their deity and the other believing the golden dragon to be a false god. Instead, they set out to create their own idol through the use of genetic engineering, cloning, cybernetic modification and even plans to created a purely mechanical kaiju. Many of these early tests failed, coming out deformed or rejecting the mechanical parts. As the Xilens cloning technology wasn't advanced enough to create perfect copies, they instead scoured the galaxy, finding alien creatures worthy of being a god. One of these, known as Subject 31272, nicknamed 'Gigan' was found on an icy planet in hibernation. In order to determine which beast was the most powerful, kaiju were pitted against each other in gladiatorial combat where only the strongest survived. Gigan, alongside other of the Xilens' monsters, were sent to attack Earth in 1999, however, all were wiped out by the divine power of Mothra, except Gigan who was heavily scarred, who grew a strong hatred of her. With his eyes blinded and wings torn apart, Gigan underwent heavy cybernetic augmentations, such as two metal blades to replace his claws, dubbed 'bloody triggers', a red visor to restore his vision, a supersonic-vibrating buzz saw in his chest, artificial wings and a cybernetic exoskeleton connected directly to his brain to allow him to be controlled by the Xilens. By the year 2004, Gigan was finally ready to get his revenge!
