Home World: Nebula M Space Hunter
Type: Alien

History: A cyborg hailing from the Nebula M Space Hunter, Gigan was sent to Earth to destroy all mankind, and make home for the cockroach like Nebulans. The cyborg was paired with the terrible King Ghidorah, the famed three headed hydra whom faced the likes of Godzilla and Mothra. The two assaulted Tokyo under commands of the insect race, and began to lay waste to everything in their path. When the combined forces of the Japanese Defense Forces failed to drive the invaders back, Godzilla and Anguirus burst from the water, ready to defend their home world.

The tag team battle slowly moved through the city until it reached the World Children’s Land, the home base of the alien invasion force. Using their laser equipped Godzilla Tower, the strangers turned the tide of battle against the heroes. Gigan and King Ghidorah devastated their opposition with their diverse attacks. It wasn’t until a group of humans destroyed the tower via explosives did the cyborg and hydra regain control of themselves, and Godzilla and Anguirus regain their own strength. King Ghidorah was first to flee, and escaped into the voids of space, leaving the saurians to devastate the cyborg until he too was forced to retreat.

A year later, as the underground race of Seatopians waged war against the Earth, the Nebulans sent down Gigan to help in the battle once more. The hostile creatures laid waste to the machine until Godzilla arrived on site to help the kind robot. Once more, the cyborg used its deadly weapons against Godzilla, but once more, was beat down by the combined efforts of the Earth defenders, and was once again forced into the voids of space.

As the cyborg flew through the darkness, a new race of evil beings hijacked the monster, and put it under their control. The Geroga, an evil race bent on killing Zone Fighter and taking over the Earth equipped the cyborg with explosive tipped claws, and sent it back down on its mission. When confronted by the monster king once more, Godzilla once again proved to be the stronger of the two, and put Gigan down once more, and Godzilla rescued the captured Zone Fighter. The cyborg wasn't down yet, and rose up, this time facing Zone Fighter. The super being was also showed to be the stronger, and with a blast of his Meteor Missile Might, the cyborg was destroyed once and for all.
