Marvel Comics
In Marvel Comics, this was the site of an epic battle between the kaiju monster Godzilla and a mutated sasquatch named Yetrigar with the forces of S.H.I.E.L.D. caught in the middle. The two grappled with one another atop one of the numerous buttes in the canyon and Yetrigar proved to be invulnerable to most of Godzilla's attacks, including his powerful atomic breath. The two beasts collided with one another, toppling down into the canyon below. Red Ronin attempted to separate the two, acting mostly out of defense of Godzilla. Yetrigar tackled Red Ronin, but the giant robot armor kept him at bay with his electro-sword. He even succeeded in executing the "sleeper hold" on Yetrigar, but the beast broke the grip and continued fighting against Red Ronin and Godzilla. Red Ronin's pilot, Rob Takiguchi realized that the Yetrigar was too powerful to stop through conventional means, so he fired his rockets at the cliff's edge that caused a rock slide, burying Yetrigar beneath a ton of dirt, rocks and debris.

Years later, the costumed superhero Mockingbird invited her teammates in the Avengers on a holiday in the Grand Canyon, but this was actually just a ruse to pursue her own agenda. As a former agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., Morse knew of the region where the Yetrigar had been buried. While exploring the canyon, she surreptitiously tossed an explosive into the canyon, awakening the slumbering creature. While her fellow Avengers fought with the Yetrigar, Mockingbird used the distraction to track down her own quarry.
