Zach Gordon

Zach Gordon is a friend of Brian Martin. He is one of the main characters in Godzilla Returns.

Godzilla Returns
Zach is first seen in his house when Brian knocks on his front door. He answers, and lets Brian inside. Brian tells him that Godzilla has returned, and that he needed to borrow his chopper so he could travel to the wreckage of a fishing boat that was destroyed by the creature. Zach allows Brian to use his chopper, and says that he will come along to, as he says that seeing Godzilla would be a once in a lifetime opportunity that he would have to be crazy to pass up.

The next morning, Brian and Steve meet up with Zach at the Tokyo Harbor, where he is waiting with the chopper. He and the others then get into the chopper and head towards the location of Godzilla. Once they arrive, they find debris of the boat, and Steve spots an island nearby. However, Godzilla rises from the ocean, and the chopper grazes on his dorsal plates. Zach loses control of the chopper, causing it to crash-land on the island. They then wake up hours later. Only Brian, Steve, and Zach survived the crash. They decide to set up camp, until they hear two monster roars, and decide to check it out. It turns out to be Anguirus and Rodan fighting. Rodan ends up winning. As Zach and the others walk back towards camp, Godzilla arrives on the island and battles Rodan. A chopper then shows up and picks up Zach and the others.

Inside the helicopter, Brian tells Steve and Zach that his father, Steve Martin, witnessed Godzilla, Rodan, and Anguirus' attacks on Japan, and that he told him about it when he was a kid. He then arrives at the army base to be greeted by John Sanders, the army commander, and they discuss how they will deal with the three monsters. Zach and Brian than suggest that if they let the three monsters meet in Tokyo (the location of the G-Energy generator), they may destroy each other. After watching Godzilla destroy Yokohama, the commander agrees and sends all units to Tokyo. Afterwards, Zach stays at the military base until the fight is over and Godzilla is trapped within the volcano. He returns home afterwords.

 * It is implied that Zach is a very rich man, given that he owns his own helicopter.
