Godzilla’s Atomic Origins Explained

Godzilla has been king of the monsters since he first toppled Tokyo and the world’s most famous kaiju is showing no signs of slowing down. But it hasn’t been a straight shot for the iconic monster. Let’s go all the way back to the beginning to look at the origins of Godzilla.
