Lizard-Warriors (Dinosaur World - Earth-78411)
Night at the museum, where the fabulous Fantastic Four have joined in a plan to subdue the 20-foot tall Godzilla.
The Thing knocks Godzilla out of the huge shark tank and Mr. Fantastic then smothers him with his pliable body rendering him unconscious. It's decided that the best thing to do is use Dr. Doom's time machine to send Godzilla back into the prehistoric past to be with his kind. The deed is done and Godzilla awakens in the Valley of Flame (domain of Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy). Devil Dinosaur attacks Godzilla and a fierce battle ensues until Moon Boy discovers that the valley is being invaded by the Lizard-Warriors; cavemen wearing dinosaur hides for clothes and riding on dinosaurs as mounts.

Devil Dinosaur and Moon Boy were previously seen in Devil Dinosaur (Marvel, 1978 series) #9 (December 1978).

Reed Richards mentions that the Cretaceous period is 900 million years in the past when it was actually 145.5 million to 66 million years in the past.

The Lizard Warriors send two Tyrannosaurus' after Godzilla when they first see him which he kills with his flame breath.

After seeing the Lizard-Warriors, Moon Boy believes Godzilla was sent by the spirits to help him and Devil Dinosaur defeat the invaders. Godzilla agrees to help because Moon Boy reminds him of Rob.
