Biography

Origins

Geronimon at some point became the ruler of Earth's kaiju and monsters and controlled them to attack humanity in various disconnected incidents. Among them monsters from the Ultra Q series (such as Gomess) that appeared before Ultraman first arrived on Earth, these attacks prompted the creation of the SSSP to deal with the threat of kaiju.

Ultraman

Geronimon kept commanding his kaiju legions from the safety of his island home but grew frustrated as multiple monsters such as Red King, Gomora and Talesdon were defeated by the heroic Ultraman and SSSP. After he had enough of his monsters being killed he would revive Pigmon, Dorako and the aforementioned Talesdon with plans to resurrect even more monsters to use them as an army to overwhelm humanity with and conquer the planet. Ultraman and SSSP were informed of his plans by the revived Pigmon and reached his island to stop him. Upon being confronted, Geronimon sent out Dorako and Talesdon to kill Ultraman and his allies, but all the monsters were defeated by the SSSP members albeit at the cost of Pigmon's sacrifice; with his servants down, Geronimon fought Ultraman himself and after a relatively short brawl and after losing his feather crown was defeated when the hero reflected his own gravity-manipulating breath back at him leaving him vulnerable to SSSP destroying him with a ray gun blast.

With his defeat, Earth's kaiju ceased hostilities for almost 2 years, with their threat taking a backseat in favor of alien invasions before they resumed hostile activities under Alien Empera's, the Minus Energy and Yapool's influence years later.

Trivia

• Geronimon is technically the first series-wide villain in the Ultra Series as he was stated to be the one behind all the Earth-born kaiju attacks. However, he didn't show up until one of the last episodes of the original series and hasn't reappeared outside of it.
• Geronimon is one of the few sapient kaiju in the franchise and one of the few independent major villains that aren't alien invaders.
