Profiles in Villainy 
Zoltar
Berg Katse was created by the alien entity known as Sōsai X so to act as the leader of the terrorist organization called Galactor. Berg was tasked with marshaling the forces of Galactor in an effort to conquer and subjugate the entire planet.
Berg is a mutant entity created through the genetic fusion of a pair of fraternal twins while they were still in the womb. As a composite being, Berg possess greatly enhanced strength, speed and intellect.  An odd byproduct of the process that created Berg causes him to alternate biological sexes on a roughly annual basis.  Berg identifies as male and he has hid his alternating physical sex under a uniform and mask.  
As the leader of Galactor, answering only to Sōsai X, Berg regularly matched wits with the Gatchaman Science Ninja Team (or G-Force).  G-Force has been able to thwart Berg’s dastardly schemes yet they have never been able to apprehend him as Berg manages to always slip away at the last moment.  
Actors Mikio Terashima and Hiroko Mori provided the voice for Berg Katse in the original anime series.  In the English language dub, where Berg is renamed ‘Zoltar,’ actor Keye Luke provided the character’s voice.  The Villain first appeared in the debut episode of Kagaku Ninjatai Gatchaman, airing on October 1st, 1972.

Since they're mostly riffing on the Showa-era Monster Pro Wrestling style, the Legendary Monsterverse should bring back the UN Godzilla Task Force and anti-kaiju weaponry like maser tanks.

U.N.G.C.C. Incident Report: The Gryphon
U.N.G.C.C. Kaiju Subject #25: The Gryphon/Bioengineered Extraterrestrial Probe-Colonly turned Kaiju
Tumblr media Tumblr media

BIO:
Subject #25, classified by Kaijuologists as "The Gryphon", originated from a meteor that impacted Utah, USA in November of 1994. Though the meteor was recovered, an extraterrestrial organism escaped and went undiscovered for three days throughout the midwestern United States, feeding on animals and one U.N.G.C.C. Agent as a bat-like colony. In Kentucky, USA, the colony settled in a forested area where it's believed they formed into a singular mass. The Gryphon slowly took on a definitive form; with the body of a cougar, the wings of a bat, and a prehensile hydra-headed tongue composed of snakes. Its frontal legs sport large clawed hands, spikes along the fingers; and its hind feet feature a mixture of talons and cloven hooves. Most notably about the Kaiju's appearance, there are three crests on the back of the beast's head. It slowly made its way to New York, USA, its presence alerting the attention of another predator which Kaijuologists learned was related to the Gojiran species.

From studying the meteorite where The Gryphon originated, Kaijuologists hypothesized that Subject #25 was engineered by hostile extraterrestrials to wipe out the target planet's populace. With the probes' consumption of certain animals and the death of Agent Pike, scientists discovered that these probes collect the most dangerous lifeforms of the target planet to conquer it. This was discovered by Jill Llewellyn, widow of the late Dr. Keith Llewellyn, one of the many casualties of Godzilla's (II) 1984 rampage. Llewellyn joined U.N.G.C.C.'s American branch in hopes of assisting in the monster's destruction. G-Force quickly mobilized when The Gryphon's rampage began, but troops were decimated by blasts of electricity fired from its wings. As New York became enveloped in an unnatural storm, Subject #25 was struck by an all too familiar blast of Atomic Breath.

Titanus Gojira, a Gojiran classified as 'Titan' by Kaijuologists, was somehow aware of The Gryphon's presence. This version of Subject #1 engaged in combat against Subject #25, having the ability to fire Atomic Breath, claws, teeth, and tail as an advantage. Its combat style was strangely similar to bears and Komodo dragons. However, The Gryphon has its own claws, the ability to fly and shoot lightning from its wings, used to hold its own against Godzilla (Titanus). The two Kaiju battled in the heart of Manhattan, causing collateral damage and the death toll to rise. Ultimately, Godzilla used its dorsal spines to greatly injure The Gryphon, taking advantage to claw into its insides and tear off its head. Seeing the alien Kaiju being able to somewhat function, Godzilla spiked Subject #25's head onto the torch of the Statue of Liberty, killing the extraterrestrial.

BHOC: BATTLE OF THE PLANETS
The next big thing to come along for me wasn’t a comic book at all, though it was a super hero adventure. This was the debut of BATTLE OF THE PLANETS on the afternoon of Monday, September 11, 1978. Like everyone my age, I watched a certain number of cartoons every day as available, but most of them were pretty junky. cut-rate animation, basic plots, thing characters–often, character types who…

Crosshair having a Problem™ with rides is an interesting take.
Thank ye! He is the problematic one of the bunch.
Like, obviously he’s not afraid of heights at all BUT I like to think that gravity still messes with his system from time to time. I’ve always liked the idea that Crosshair suffers from vertigo to a degree, and so amusement park rides or even Tech’s flying can shake that up in him. I think he probably looks like a drunk stumbling off afterwards LOL. Maybe his tummy gets a lil sick too idk. But it’s mostly neurological/vestibular. That’s how I am! I have a stomach of steel and not afraid of heights, but g-force ignites a really strong episode of vertigo and I have to sit/lie down. XD Worth it though. XD
Anyway don’t tell anyone but Crosshair is holding onto Cyare afterwards. XD
