Gigan (Kaiju Universe)

Gigan (ガイガン Gaigan) is an alien cyborg kaiju who first appeared in the 2022 Raydon Studios film Monster Zero. He is the first incarnation of Gigan to appear in an American-made film.

Originally a protector of Xenethroso (Planet X), Gigan was deployed to Mars to aid against King Ghidorah's conquest of the planet. After a grueling battle, Gigan was brutally defeated by King Ghidorah and left for dead. Over the next few years, the Xiliens retrieve the Gigan corpse and resurrect it as a cyborg. After a probe delivers news of the atomic bombing of Japan to Planet X, they await the arrival of King Ghidorah only to discover it frozen in the Antarctic ice. In 1995, the Xiliens send Gigan to Earth where he fought, where he fought Mothra but was ultimately killed in battle with Godzilla.
