Galactus Devours Because He Needs To, Not Because He Wants To

Doom(2024) by Sanford Greene, Jonathan Hickman, Rachelle Rosenberg, Sanford Greene, and Joe Caramagna

Galactus used to be Galan of Taa , a perfectly normal deadly from the looping of the universe that live prior to the current Marvel one . When his universe set about to end , Galactus was visited by the conscience of his universe , and merging together , Galactus gained the Power Cosmicand was able to travel over into the next iteration of the universe . While Galactus is powerful enough to do basically whatever he wants , he needs to bung on planets in ordination to stay alive . This has made Galactus a major threat to dozens of civilizations , but he feeds out ofnecessity , not maliciousness .

Galactus has also shown that he ’s willing to work with the civilizations on the planet he encounters if potential . This has been made patent by the numerous times he has spared Earth in the past . This unending thirst had always made Galactus serious , but as long as he was willing to operate with masses , he was never that much of a problem . This has caused a few readers , and the Marvel Universe itself , to draw a blank just how absurdly severe Galactus really is , which was brilliantly shown in this recentDoomcomic .

A Fed Galactus Is Practically Unstoppable

Galactus does n’t need to just destroy entire solar organization for his own welfare , and therefore , he tend to only eat what he take to outlive . His power tends to fluctuate based on how hungry he is versus how satiated he is . This mean the majority of times he ’s encounter , he ’s in reality pretty weak liken to what he could do at full power . There have been a few times when Galactus has pushed the limits of his powerfulness , one of which being whenGalactus fought four unrestrained Celestials at the same time . After consuming four planet , Galactus was able to kill one of the four .

Galactus ' engagement against four Celestials was first seen inFantastic Four#602 by Jonathan Hickman , Barry Kitson , Paul Mounts , and Clayton Cowles !

Galactus was equal to of struggle off four Celestials and killing one of them after feeding off onlyfourplanets . InDoom(2024 ) , he feeds on entire galaxies and is render killingfiveCelestials with a single energy blast . With that form of power , it ’s no surprise that both the Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy are altogether hide when trying to stop him . This degree of power accommodate in perfectly with Stan Lee and Jack Kirby ’s original theme when creating Galactus . in the beginning , Galactus was intend to be a character who was so potent that he was only beyond the concepts of good and evil .

Galactus does n’t even destroy the universe for any material villainous understanding . He simply grows timeworn of constantly having to scrape by to survive while waiting for the cosmos to terminate naturally . At the end of the fib , Galactus build a machine that is specifically plan to convey about the end of the universe and more importantly , bring about the creation of the next one . This motivating is perfectly in line with the idea that Galactus is beyond good and malefic , since he is n’t doing this for any material purpose other than want to at last be allowed to move on .

Galactus Can End The Marvel Universe Anytime He Wants To

There have been other version of"Galactus " in the past tense , such as Omnimax . drive insane by his hunger , it ’s likely Galactus simply wants to stop being Galactus . He ’s quick for the universe of discourse to terminate and for another person to take his space in the next universe , and alas , there ’s no one in the Marvel Universe who can cease him if he make up one’s mind to do that .

While it ’s unlikely that Galactus will ever go mad in the master 616 world , it ’s certainly a terrific hypothesis . While the Fantastic Four have used weapons like the Ultimate Nullifier to fight off Galactus in the past , he ’s also demonstrated that he can stave off that weapon when he wants too . consider just howbigthe Marvel Universe is as well , ifGalactus decided he wanted to set out eating major planet in the far reaches of the macrocosm to superpower up , there would simply be nothing the Avengers could do to stop him . By the time they even become cognisant that it ’s happening , if they even do , it will be too late .

While villain like Thanos have deliver the goods in " kill " the Marvel Universe before , they were finally shoot down and the damage they did was undone . This is n’t lawful for Galactus . In this story , he definitively wins , and he does it withease .

The Avengers have defend off tons of cosmic threat over the years . Celestials , the King in Black , organism as old as the cosmos itself have all gone up against the Avengers and lost . But this is n’t true for Galactus . Very seldom have the Avengers or Fantastic Four outrightdefeatedGalactus . They ’ve deal to deter him from feeding on Earth , either by temporarily fighting him off or defecate a sight with him .
