Super X - Super X-III

Whereas Godzilla defense measures had by 1995 become the role of G-Force, the multipurpose fighter plane Super X-III was not designed exclusively as an anti-Godzilla weapon, but rather (as with the original Super X) to respond to a nuclear accident or attack. The winged V/STOL craft's central features are its cooling weapons, the Super-Low Temperature Beam and Freezing Missiles. Also like the original, it is piloted and operated by a three-person crew and equipped with cadmium missiles intended for long-range nuclear reaction control. Artificial diamond is incorporated into its alloy armor, making it strong enough to withstand repeated hits from Godzilla's ray.

When Godzilla manifested signs of an imminent nuclear meltdown, G-Force's offensive weapons were determined unusable, and the Super X-III was called into action. Piloted (this time from within) by Kuroki, the craft engaged Godzilla at sea, using its cooling weapons to freeze Godzilla and cadmium missiles to slow its internal reactor. Encased in ice, Godzilla sank into the Bungo aqueduct. During Godzilla's later battle with Destoroyah the Super X-III looked on, preparing to again shell Godzilla with cadmium when it hit a critical meltdown temperature. When Destoroyah attempted to flee, the Super X-III fired its Low Temperature Beam, disabling and apparently disintegrating Destoroyah. Though it fired several cadmium shells at Godzilla during the subsequent meltdown, protected by its armor from the immense nuclear fallout, it was unable to control the process. This Super X is the only such vehicle to have beaten Godzilla (albeit temporarily) without being destroyed as well.

The Super X-III appears in Godzilla: Save the Earth as an obstacle, if the player or their opponent is hit by its missiles, they become temporarily frozen, leaving them vulnerable to their opponent.

The Super X-III is the final "boss" enemy in Godzilla Generations. Appearing in the tenth and final level, which is Tokyo from The Return of Godzilla with the main theme from the film, the Super X-III behaves similarly to the Super X-II. However, the Super X-III often begins attacking with the first run and uses both lasers and missiles (without the freezing properties). It has very high armor and is faster than the Super X-II, making it very difficult to take down quickly. It is also much larger than its forerunners, with a length 1/3 that of Godzilla's height and a wingspan over 1/2 his height.
