The Giant Bat first made its presence known in Nigeria, attacking livestock and villagers alike. When Nick arrived to investigate, the Bat attacked, but soon found itself challenged by Godzilla. Despite its relatively diminutive size, the bat was able to hold its own against the King of the Monsters. The two battled for a while until Godzilla got his head stuck in the metal arches of a bridge, leaving himself vulnerable. Just when it seemed like the Bat had Godzilla at his mercy, he suddenly flew off, leaving H.E.A.T. understandably confused. It later became clear that it had been taken control of by the Leviathan aliens as part of their invasion of Earth.
As the winged predator headed towards their base on Site Omega, it was followed by the Heat Seeker, which the flying beast soon attacked. Joined by the prehistoric Cryptocleidus, the bat had his sonar messed with by the Heat Seeker’s instruments, confusing it into attacking Cryptocleidus, a fight that was quickly ended when the Leviathan aliens re-established their control over the pair.
Once reaching the tropical island, the Earth’s mutations were united and given their assignments. Fully under their mind control, the Giant Bat was sent to attack Paris alongside King Cobra. When H.E.A.T. managed to disable the aliens' mind control device, the bat fought back against its would-be controllers, challenging Cyber Godzilla on Site Omega. But the evil cyborg was more than a match for the mutant mammal, using a reflector dish to send the bat's sonic screams back at it, knocking it out.
Sometime later, it was revealed that the Giant Bat was among the mutations corralled on Major Hicks' Monster Island, kept from flying away from the island via an electronic collar. Thanks to the efforts of a terrorist group known as S.C.A.L.E., however, the bat's collar was deactivated and he immediately engaged in a battle royal involving Crustaceous Rex, King Cobra and Skeetera. Eventually, the Bat was caught between Skeetera and Godzilla and was knocked unconscious by their combined might.
In an alternate future where the Earth was overrun by genetically engineered monstrosities known as Dragmas, Hicks, in a last-ditch effort to combat the beasts, released all the monsters from Monster Island, which presumably still included the Giant Bat. Unfortunately, the plan failed, and they were all killed by the powerful dragon-like creatures. |
