Godzilla truly has earned his title, "The King of the Monsters." Ever since his first movie appearance in 1954, he has sparked a legacy that few other characters have achieved, with merchandise, collectibles, comics, movies, and theme park attractions. Part of the key to his success is the fact that instead of merely being a monster, Godzilla represents a horrifying historical moment, which can be scarier than anything the human imagination can create. Created as a metaphor for nuclear weaponry and with skin that resembles radiation scarring, the first of Godzilla's many forms stood out from his later appearances.
