-Rodan's a consummate Godzilla ally, though they really aren't friends- they just team up when other giant monsters show up. He debuted in his own movie, a rather different type of Kaiju movie- it starts out as a horror movie with giant bugs eating stuff, and then TWO Rodans show up to blow the city apart. It's kind of heart-wrenching in the end, as one Rodan is killed by a volcanic eruption (brought on by human activity), and the other willingly commits suicide to be with it's mate. Another one soon showed up, when the movie's success resulted in Rodan being added to the core cast of a new series of Kaiju films. It was Godzilla, Rodan & Mothra, ganging up against far bigger threats (like King Freaking Ghidorah)- he wasn't as popular as Godzilla, and not as lionized by the Japanese crew as Mothra the Amazing, so he was a bit of a third-stringer. Plus, his costume tends to look a little weaker than the others- skinny in places, with wings thad don't move very well. Still, being a giant pteranodon's gotta be good for something.
-Rodan's PL 15 on offense, PL 14 on defense, being fast and more accurate than Godzilla, but a bit weaker. He's lower in Toughness, but he's highly resistant to Energy Damage (he OFTEN shrugs off Godzilla's Atomic Breath, to a far greater extent than others). He's pricier than Godzilla though- packing resistance, Mach 2 Flight, a Flying Smash (doing more damage, but being less accurate), a Wind Storm that can send dozens of tanks flying at once, and a Sonic Boom. See, Rodan can do a "fly-by", and the resulting Mach 3 eruption will wipe out HUGE swaths of area, sending glass and concrete flying everywhere. It's one of the widest-range Burst attacks I can think of.

-Rodan showed up again in the '90s after a big break, and started right out being angry at Godzilla, but lost. He mutated into a final form when Baby Godzilla summoned him, and he sacrificed his life (after getting his ass kicked by Mechagodzilla) to re-power Godzilla against his enemy. He's PL 16 like Godzilla, and is proportionately about the same as regular Rodan, but also eventually packs his own Breath Weapon, becoming even MORE dangerous.
