It was also revealed that Kubal was in fact, another human with the power of the Titans, his Titan form being none other than the Colossal Titan.

History
At some point in his life, Kubal became the head of the Military Police Brigade and acquired the powers of the Colossal Titan.

Attack on Titan, The Movie: Part 1
For unknown reasons, he appears as the Colossal Titan and kicks through the Wall near Monzen, allowing Titans to swarm in. Before the Garrison can react, his Titan form disappears in a burst of steam. The attack and the resulting massacre caused by the invading Titans, forced humans to abandon their agricultural areas and cause a food shortage.

Two years later, Kubal is seen addressing a group of recruits that joined the newly created Scout Regiment. He notifies them that their task is to reclaim the areas lost to Titans. He presents Hans, who demonstrates the mobility gear that will be used to fight the Titans.

Kubal travels with the Scout Regiment to Mozen District; after seeing numerous Titans arrive at their location (and the recruits quickly panicking and losing control), he orders his subordinates to leave them behind. Kubal later meets with Shikishima and praises his abilities in saving the recruits; however, he passes on that he heard rumors of an insurgency and inquires if Shikishima knew anything about it.

As he walks through the area, Kubal notices Sasha and Armin discussing machines; he interjects and asks Armin if he knew what the technological advancements led to. After getting a satisfactory answer, Kubal dismisses them to get some rest, but crushes the apple Sasha dropped. When several more Titans appear, Kubal orders his men to defend the explosives, but they are eventually overrun.

Attack on Titan, The Movie: Part 2
Kubal eventually learns that one of the recruits, Eren, was revealed to be able to transform into a Titan just like himself. Seeing him now as a possible threat, Kubal has him restrained and proclaims that Eren is the first man ever captured who can transform into a Titan. He begins to place blame on Eren for the Titans ravaging the area and brushes aside claims that Eren is a 'good-natured Titan' due to him fighting against Titans with the rest of the Scout Regiment. When Souda begins to speak on Eren's behalf and mentions that Kubal had killed Eren's parents, Kubal derides him as a drunk and shoots him dead. Just then, an armored Titan breaks through and seemingly kills Kubal and many of the soldiers present. However, Kubal would later appear at the top of the Wall while the Scout Regiment returns to seal the hole caused by him two years ago. He watches both Eren and Shikishima attack each other in their Titan forms and then claps after seeing Eren emerge victorious. He offers them all a place in the Interior if they hand over Eren; after hearing them refuse, Kubal shoots Armin in the leg and Sasha shoots him several times in the chest. Kubal falls over and transforms into the Colossal Titan.

As the Scout Regiment moves to cut out his nape, Kubal swats them away and kills Jean. As he tries to grab Eren, Hans launches an RPG that hits Kubal in the face, briefing stunning him. Eren is able to cut through the nape but Kubal is finally able to grab him. Laughing, he tries to crush Eren but Shikishima suddenly arrives and jams the remaining bomb into his mouth. Shikishima then activates it, causing it to explode and killing Kubal.

Trivia

 * Colossus_Titan_height_live-action_movies.png Kubal was the director of the Military Police Brigade in the live-action movies; whereas in the original series, that position belongs to Nile Dawk, who does not exist in this continuity.
 * He was also revealed to be the true identity behind the Colossal Titan, replacing Bertholdt Hoover, who is not portrayed in the live-action movies either. Also, his Titan form was tall, twice as big as the Colossal Titan from the original series and more in the likes of Rod Reiss' Titan form. However, in the movie novelization, Kubal's Titan form is said to be  tall, much closer to the height of Bertholdt's  Titan form in the original manga.
 * Due to his attempts to get Eren executed for considering him a threat to humanity, he also effectively replaced Garrison Captain Kitz Woermann (though in Kubal's case it was just a facade).
