Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Galactus is a Marvel Comics character created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. He first appeared in Fantastic Four #48 (March, 1966).Sole survivor of the universe existing before the Big Bang, Galactus is perhaps the most feared being in the cosmos. Untold billions of years ago, he was born the humanoid Galan on the planet Taa, a wondrous paradise of scientific and social achievement. However, his universe was in its final stages, with all matter plunging towards a central point via the "Big Crunch", collapsing into a new "Cosmic Egg", a sphere of disorganized, compact primordial matter. Galan, a space explorer, discovered a radiation plague threatening all of Taa. Though he was initially scoffed at, the truth became clear as the people of surrounding planets perished. Despite the efforts of Taa's greatest scientists, no cure could be found, and the population began to die off. Galan convinced the handful of remaining survivors to die gloriously by flying a starship into the blazing cosmic cauldron. The others were killed by the intense radiation, but Galan was filled with new energy and saved by the sentience of the dying universe. The sentient energy spoke to Galan as it brought him into the egg.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })With the next Big Bang, the Cosmic Egg matter exploded outwards, eventually condensing into stars and planets. The future Galactus and his starship were re-created simultaneously with the embodiments of Eternity and Death, though he drifted inert for billions of years while new life began to populate the universe. The starship crashed on an unnamed planet, where Ecce The Watcher saw its occupant emerge as raw energy. Ecce recognized the danger the nascent being would pose and could have destroyed him then, but instead chose to abide by his oath of non-interference. Launching his ship back into space, the being ejected its lifeless companions into the void, there to drift in endless flight. He then created a suit of armor to harness and regulate his awesome energies, and transformed his ship into an incubation chamber, where he spent countless centuries evolving into his current form. Eventually his craft again fell into orbit around a verdant planet, Archeopia. The advanced natives scanned the craft, detected its awesome energies, and wisely left it undisturbed.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })Galactus initially went centuries between feedings, seeking out uninhabited worlds that could support life; but he gradually hungered more frequently, and began consuming inhabited worlds if he could find no others. He rationalized his actions by deeming himself a higher being, a belief made easier after learning of a prophecy that he would eventually compensate for all his destruction. In addition, he eventually encountered Eternity and Death, and the three beings hypothesized that Galactus represented a balancing force between the two opposites.Lonely, Galactus created a being in his own image; however, while Galactus was content to survive, his creation craved conquest. The creation, becoming known as Tyrant, battled his creator in a struggle beyond description. Galactus eventually triumphed, possibly aided by the Spinsterhood order of women warriors, banishing Tyrant to parts unknown. Since then, Galactus has used many mindless servants, chief among which are the Punishers, possibly living beings enslaved or created by Galactus. Eventually, the world-devourer realized it was more efficient to send a herald to seek out worlds for him. His first herald was eventually cast out and imprisoned, presumably due to its corrupt and violent nature. This former herald, the Fallen One, escaped many times over the millennia, each time heading directly after its previous master, who always defeated it.Galactus threatened to devour the planet Zenn-La, but was persuaded by native Norrin Radd to spare it in exchange for becoming a new herald. Galactus transformed Radd into the Silver Surfer, suppressing his morals so that he would lead Galactus to inhabited worlds when necessary, such as a symbiote-ruled planet, and the Kree planet Tarsis. The Surfer once even led Galactus into ending the threat of the murderous warlord Kallreich the Unconquerable by consuming a world he had invaded. When the Silver Surfer brought Galactus to Earth, despite the efforts of Uatu The Watcher to hide the planet, Alicia Masters reached Norrin's long-submerged emotions, convincing him to turn against his master. Galactus had easily overpowered the Fantastic Four, but the Surfer's power delayed Galactus' meal long enough for Reed Richards to present him with his first defeat. Uatu sent the Human Torch to Galactus' worldship to retrieve the Ultimate Nullifier, a device allegedly having the power to destroy even mighty Galactus; Reed used it to force him to spare Earth, but Galactus punished the Surfer for his betrayal by trapping him on Earth.Soon after, Galactus sensed abundant energy sources within the enigmatic Black Galaxy, but Galactus was distracted when Dr. Doom usurped the Silver Surfer's power and crashed into Galactus' barrier; sensing this disturbance, Galactus scanned Doom, but found him beneath his notice and sent him back to Latveria. Galactus soon sent his Punishers to retrieve the Surfer from Earth; the Fantastic Four held it off long enough for the Surfer to escape into the microverse. Galactus forced them to help him find the Surfer, who located an uninhabited planet for him, after which he left the Surfer trapped on Earth for easy future location.Galactus had a daughter, Galacta, who suffers from the same hunger issues that he has, but chooses to prevent the destruction of most forms of life by instead consuming malevolent sources that would end up destroying life if left unchecked.The All-New, All-Different Marvel era has been a time of great change for Galactus. The new The Ultimates, an all-star team dedicated to solving cosmic problems, picked him for their first mission. They tracked down his old incubation chamber and forced him back into it, "evolving" him into a new, golden form. This "Lifebringer" Galactus, who restores desolate worlds, became one of the team's central allies throughout the book's entire run. It's all a bit ironic, considering his rampage through the Ultimate Marvel universe ended up destroying the original Ultimates. Note, by the way, that the Ultimate universe had his own one, Gah Lak Tus (for tropes about this one, see here). | |

Galan is/was humanoid, so the Galactus that we see is perhaps closest to the real deal. Or perhaps we just saw him as a humanoid. | |

This Was His True Form | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_1183175e | comment |
This Was His True Form: Galactus is in truth an Energy Being who only looks like whatever mortal mind is currently observing him. This is often ignored in parallel universe and alternate timelines, where his death leaves static and physical remains in his iconic getup, but his first death in the mainstream universe lead to his body exploding into a second sun for the Shi'ar homeworld. | |

Strong as They Need to Be | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_1228314a | comment |
Strong as They Need to Be: In his case, as much he has eaten. When starving even normally far weaker beings can hurt him, and the Thing once knocked him out. When he is fed however, he is extremely formidable, being able to destroy several solar systems in a single attack, during his fight with Tyrant it was even said that entire galaxies were destroyed and it is generally accepted that a fully-fed Galactus is on par with Eternity. Between that, it varies depending on the story. | |

Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_14127474 | comment |
Sealed Inside a Person-Shaped Can: Galactus is the can holding Omnicidal Maniac Abraxas sealed; he's so incredibly hungry that he needs to eat planets because most of his energy is going to keeping Abraxas locked up, and, as bad as Galactus is, Abraxas is worse. In another sense, the Galactus armor itself is a can; Galactus is said to look differently to each race that perceives him, and outside of the armor he's basically a blob of energy. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Being a very recognizable, incredibly powerful character, Galactus has a tendency to be the one to suffer in order to establish that the new cosmic bad guy is a serious threat. Amazingly subverted when, after an entire storyline of beating established characters like Thor, Hulk, and the Silver Surfer, Red Hulk was dismissively one-shotted by him. Superman / Fantastic Four: The Infinite Destruction had Galactus making Superman his Herald. His hold wasn't as strong as it was on others, however. Worf Had the Flu: Often handwaved by other writers by saying that Galactus hadn't fed off any planets in a while at the time when he was getting Worfed and wasn't at full strength. JLA/Avengers: Krona kills Galactus in a few seconds, and turned into his house. Justified, as Krona is a universe destroyer. Galactus revives after Krona is dispatched, though. | |

Even More Omnipotent: Whenever the Silver Surfer rebels, Galactus just No Sells all of his attacks. Or when any being he bequeathed with the Power Cosmic tries the same - it's surprisingly common. Galactus is able to take back their powers at will or override any actions they attempt to take. | |

Power Limiter | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_1dce4748 | comment |
Power Limiter: The Ultimate Nullifier, which was once part of him and which he sealed away from himself because he feared it's power and destruction. There's also his own armor, which serves as a self-imposed Power Limiter. The power inside Galactus is so overwhelming that he needs the armor to control it, and if he were to ever remove it, he'd be consumed from within and turned into a small star. | |

Captain Ersatz | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_25b5600 | comment |
Captain Ersatz: Another multi-universal devourer of worlds: Unicron the Dark God, the Chaos Bringer. When the Transformers' Marvel Comics series retooled Unicron's being and backstory, the similarities between Galactus and Unicron were so great that Unicron is often seen as the Transformers version of Galactus, right down to You Cannot Grasp the True Form. Unsurprisingly, this has led to many fanworks and fanwanks about a Galactus vs. Unicron showdown and their squabbling over worlds to devour. As far as motives go however, they couldn't be more different. Unlike Galactus, Unicron doesn't even need to eat worlds and only does it out of sheer hatred, which itself can be seen as a parallel to the 1610's Galactus. Also, Galactus has to absorb biospheric energy from planets. Unicron literally just eats them and consumes their mass. DC's character Imperiex feels very much like their own version of Galactus. | |

Parental Abandonment | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_297ab1b9 | comment |
Parental Abandonment: After creating Galacta and placing her on Earth, Galactus left for parts unknown to continue his own existence, with no intention of watching over how she developed. Galacta doesn't enjoy the fact that she's related to him. In fact she outright hates him because of what he does. However, in her greatest moment of need, Galactus shows Galacta that he still cares for her with what he would consider to be unconditional love by saving her from death by starvation. | |

Fusion Dance | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_302730a | comment |
Fusion Dance: Before anything else Galactus is arguably a fusion of the last universe's Eternity, maybe the equivalent of the Phoenix Force and the last known surviving mortal Galan of Taa. Galactus is sucked into the Ultimate Marvel Universe when Wolverine breaks reality during the Age of Ultron event, and is attacked by his counterpart Gah Lak Tus, which tries to eat and ends up fusing with him, creating an even more powerful and ravenous entity. There is also Galactiac from the Amalgam Universe when the Marvel universe fused with the DC universe, a fusion of Galactus and Brainiac. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Some regard Galactus as A Lighter Shade of Black. His survival preserves the universe from greater harm: he does what he must to survive and can rightly be considered a higher being. He always keeps his word, pays his debts, and is willing to leave sentient beings alone or escape doomed planets as long as they don't bother him. He tends to show disgust at those who cause meaningless destruction like Tyrant and the Fallen One. And if it's one of his own that's causing it, he'll usually do something about it when someone brings it to his attention. He calls out the Phoenix, hard, in an issue of Excalibur when the entity in question nearly kills him in a misguided attempt to protect a planet he was feeding, on the grounds that a) the battle had devastated the planet anyway, b) he's just doing what he has to in order to survive, while the Phoenix, when incarnate on the mortal plane, draws on the life of generations unborn to fuel her power, leading to the Armor-Piercing Question of who was the greater evil. The Phoenix genuinely didn't know this and was horrified. On the other hand, he also tried to kill every sentient being on Counter-Earth out of self-stated spite, simply because they had succeeded in killing a future version of himself in self-defense, which renders much of the above claims of his nobility and lack of pettiness null and void. In addition, it has been established that he can just as easily feed on stars or non-sentient cosmic energy sources instead of wiping out trillions of sentient beings, yet only rarely does he seek out such sources. When he confronted Darkseid in a Marvel/DC crossover, he became outraged at Darkseid for the massive waste of life, throwing his Parademons and troops at Galactus knowing they didn't stand a chance and knowing that there was no life force on Apokolips for Galactus to feed on. He's mollified by Darkseid stating that he did it because it's in his nature - Galactus nods and states that he and Darkseid are Not So Different: both are slaves to their basest drives. Galactus also has no love for Cyborg Superman either. Once he got to the Ultimate Marvel universe and was confronted by its version of the Vision, he was disgusted and outright called the Darker and Edgier universe broken. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |

Foregone Conclusion: In-Universe. In The Hunger, Galactus tells Darkseid he knows Norrin Radd will someday regain his memory and turn on him, and that it'll be a difficult time for him. He isn't particularly upset about it, just knows it's going to happen and there's nothing he'll be able to do about it. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Most of his fights have him dishing this out to the point where it's easier to list exceptions. When he's subjected to The Worf Effect he ends on the receiving end of it. In his debut, the Fantastic Four couldn't scratch him. He's only driven away by the Ultimate Nullifer. When Doctor Doom stole the powers of the Silver Surfer, he was defeated by tricking him into the barrier Galactus created around Eartht to keep Silver Surfer from leaving Earth. When Doom run into the barrier, it alerted Galactus, who scanned Doom, felt he was beneath his notice and sent him back to Latveria without the Power Cosmic. During Red Hulk's Invincible Villain phase, Galactus knocked him out with a single attack. Terrax rebelling against him led to this. Galactus demonstrated how little patience he had at this point for his Heralds and turned Terrax into a worm digging through dirt, then energy dispersed through the galaxy, before returning him to normal. Terrax quickly surrendered. | |

Worthy Opponent: Despite their antagonism after the Silver Surfer's rebellion, he deeply respects Norrin Radd for the sacrifice he made for his planet. Especially evident in Silver Surfer: Requiem, where Galactus seems to basically regard himself and the surfer as a father and son who had a fall-out, even comforting the Surfer in his last moments. | |

Only Friend | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_5f861d0f | comment |
Only Friend: Galactus' first post-Surfer Herald was the Xandarian Gabriel Lan, called the Air-Walker. He and Galactus became friends and Lan ended up sacrificing himself to buy a severely malnourished Galactus the time needed to escape from a race of aliens that might have been able to destroy him. Its been insinuated many times that Galactus regrets not being able to save Lan's life. He comes to consider the new Ultimates team his friends after teaming up with them during his Life-Bringer period, and like Lan, he considered Conner Sims a.k.a. Anti-Man, his Herald of Life, a friend, and mourned him when he performed a Heroic Sacrifice to save him, determined that his sacrifice wouldn't be in vain. | |

Uniqueness Decay | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_608b26d | comment |
Uniqueness Decay: Jack Kirby never intended for Galactus to be used past the first story he appeared in. He objected to all the character background later given for Galactus as well as the characterization for Silver Surfer in later stories. He wanted Galactus and his herald to remain a mystery and felt that overexposure and excessive character development would undermine the character's effect. Given that there are so many "gods" and other cosmic entities in the Marvel Universe, not to mention ones that are explicitly world eaters as well, he was right. Only in recent years have writers attempted to restore Galactus position in the grand scheme of things, and even then Galactus will always be more of a character than a true mysterious force of nature as he was intended to be. To an indirect extent, his Ultimate Nullifier has also shown up in many hands over the years with little explanation. Only very few of them have been denounced as fakes. | |

Heel–Face Turn: As the Life-Bringer, he's cured of the Cosmic Hunger and no longer feeds on planets, instead restoring them. As such he's now a force for good (he even recruits two new teams of Ultimates to help protect the universe), and he won't go back to the old status quo without a fight. He does, eventually, but some of the Character Development seems to stick. Some. | |

Redemption Promotion: Part of the attempts to avert him suffering The Worf Effect also had a break from the status quo and had him become the Life-bringer. As he's cured of the Cosmic Hunger, Galactus is even more powerful, and when confronted by Lord Chaos and Master Order try to force him back to his old self, both of whom were considered to be stronger than him before, he punched the teeth out of the latter. | |

I Gave My Word: After his life was saved by Reed Richards, he promised never to attack Earth again, a promise he's kept thus far, even in the face of provocation. He's even come to the planet's defense. He also gave his word regarding sparing Zenn La in exchange for Norrin Rad's servitude as his herald. He erased the Surfer's memories so he no longer had any attachment to his planet, but still kept his end of the deal. After the Surfer dies, Galactus vows that neither he nor anyone else will ever harm the planet. When Galactus attempted to devour the homeworld of the Space Knights, while it was falling towards the Dark Nebula, the home of their enemies the Dire Wraiths, the Space Knights cut a deal with Galactus to feed on the Dark Nebula instead in exchange for sparring their world. Galactus couldn't feed on the Dark Nebula, but nonetheless kept his word to spare the Space Knight's planet even though nothing was stopping him from feeding on it. | |

Super-Empowering | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_78418ebb | comment |
Super Empowering: The Heralds of Galactus receive a portion of the Power Cosmic while they serve, usually granting them access to power greater than the majority of most Earth-based heroes. To put it another way, in the Galactus/Darkseid crossover The Hunger, the Silver Surfer hit a severely weakened Galactus with a full-power blast. Galactus shrugged it off like it was nothing and proceeded to beat the Surfer down in the dirt. Up to Eleven when Galactus made Superman his Herald. Yes, a demigod superhero endowed with godlike cosmic power. Cyborg Superman wanted this power for his own, but Galactus immediately knew he was unfit. He did grant him "perfection" - unfortunately for Cyborg Superman, he used Exact Words and turned him into a brick of metal, a perfect alloy with no imperfections. Was on the receiving end of this when a Franklin Richards from the future empowered him as his Herald to combat the Mad Celestials. | |

He calls out the Phoenix, hard, in an issue of Excalibur when the entity in question nearly kills him in a misguided attempt to protect a planet he was feeding, on the grounds that a) the battle had devastated the planet anyway, b) he's just doing what he has to in order to survive, while the Phoenix, when incarnate on the mortal plane, draws on the life of generations unborn to fuel her power, leading to the Armor-Piercing Question of who was the greater evil. The Phoenix genuinely didn't know this and was horrified. | |

Large Ham: One of the biggest in Marvel (except during his Life-Bringer period, and even then, he had his moments). His dialogue in written entirely in capitalized letters, and usually for very good reason. Ham-to-Ham Combat: His fight with Mephisto, along with an evenly matched clash of power, the two equally hammed up the scenery in their verbal clash. Likewise, when he confronts the Phoenix Saga era Phoenix in Generations, the two being more or less evenly matched, both go all out - both in power and Chewing the Scenery. | |

| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_84a0c3bb | comment |
Natural End of Time: As Galan, he lived during the end of the previous universe and traveled with a shapeship in hopes of his crew surviving. This failed, but he merged with the dying Sentience of the Universe to be reborn in the current Marvel Universe. It's suggested that Mr Immortal will play the same role when the current universe reaches its end, and be reborn as the Galactus equivalent in the next universe. | |

Above Good and Evil | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_86968c96 | comment |
Above Good and Evil: He doesn't see himself as good or evil, just a predator doing what he has to do to survive. In a way, this is true due to him being Inherent in the System. In the end, he is more a cataclysm than an actual villain and cannot be judged by human moral standards. Reed Richards even gave this a great deal of thought during the first Secret War storyline, musing about how odd it was that the Beyonder considered Galactus "evil" and grouped him in with all the other villains. Reed knew that Galactus was so far beyond good or evil that the concepts simply didn't apply. He regarded Galactus as a force of nature, comparable to an earthquake or a hurricane, which also cannot be judged as good or evil. He uses this to call out the Phoenix (then possessing the comatose body of Rachel Summers, while the latter recovered from psychic trauma resulting from her brutal battle with Necrom in Excalibur) after she nearly killed him in a misguided attempt to protect a planet he was about to feed on. Not only did the fallout devastate the planet, but as Galactus pointed out, he's a) just doing what he has to in order to survive, b) would much prefer to feed on barren worlds or dying civilisations. The Phoenix, by contrast, draws on life as yet unborn when she's incarnate on the mortal plane, which is why her power seems infinite. This leads to the Armor-Piercing Question of who is the greater evil: the one who devours life whose time has ended, or the one who denies life to generations unborn. The Phoenix is understandably horrified. | |

Always a Bigger Fish | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_88ebc539 | comment |
Always a Bigger Fish: Many galactic threats, like (regular) Thanos or the Supreme Intelligence of the Kree, quail at the thought of direct confrontation with Galactus. But Galactus is not at the very top of the power spectrum either: he has been stomped by the Beyonder in the original Secret Wars (1984), by the Phoenix (possessing Rachel Summers) in Excalibur (though he won the moral victory by pointing out the cost of her power to the universe at large), defeated in a DC/Marvel crossover by Krona, and conquered by the Chaos King in Chaos Wars. Subverted when he is confronted by Master Order and Lord Chaos after his reversion at the hands of the Ultimates. Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet rated either of them individually well above Galactus, but now that he has fused with his Ultimate counterpart and been reversed (which removes his hunger, not to mention directly conflicts with Order and Chaos' fundamental existence), he not only defies them, but subjects them to this trope. In The Hunger, The Source warned Highfather that Galactus was coming, so Highfather hid New Genesis, which, unlike Apokolips, would make a tasty treat for Galactus. | |

Back from the Dead: Galactus was actually killed once in the Marvel-616 universe.

Heel–Face Revolving Door: Even leaving aside the fact that he's generally considered a force of nature, and Above Good and Evil, he makes an apparent Heel–Face Turn as the Life-Bringer. However, as Carol Danvers points out in the second volume of The Ultimates when he recruits the titular team and assures them of his benevolence, he might be benevolent now, but there's no guarantee it'll last - Status Quo Is God and all that. Galactus, who's been worrying about that very problem, is struck silent and admits he can't guarantee that the wind will always blow in their direction (however, even after he's reverted to normal and Doctor Doom unwisely tries to use him as a giant battery, he still leaves Earth alone, with Reed noting that he gave his word). | |

When he confronted Darkseid in a Marvel/DC crossover, he became outraged at Darkseid for the massive waste of life, throwing his Parademons and troops at Galactus knowing they didn't stand a chance and knowing that there was no life force on Apokolips for Galactus to feed on. He's mollified by Darkseid stating that he did it because it's in his nature - Galactus nods and states that he and Darkseid are Not So Different: both are slaves to their basest drives. | |

| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_9bcd82c0 | comment |
Took a Level in Badass: It might seem impossible seeing how godlike he already was to begin with, but due to the fact that he had suffered quite a bit from The Worf Effect in recent years, the writers' attempts at Character Rerailment have resulted in this: First, he gets dropped off in the Ultimate universe and fuses with his Earth-1610 version. Then,after the events of Secret Wars, the Ultimates "reversed" him ridding him of his hunger and turning him into a life-giver. This has upped his position in the cosmic foodchain a bit to boot. | |

Hates Being Alone: While often solitary and can't really interact with most any other being in the universe as an equal, Galactus actively fears and dreads the prospect of being the last living thing in existence. Keep in mind the guy's been alive since the dawn of creation and spent billions of years alone until life and other cosmic beings came into the picture. He's secretly elated when he finds out that Franklin Richards will be there with him when the last light goes out and after all other life has gone billions of years before that. Unless the One Below All has his way in which case, neither of them will be there to see it. | |

Balance Between Good and Evil | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_a284511d | comment |
Balance Between Good and Evil: Eating planets may be monstrous, but it is necessary for the continuation of the entire universe. The writers just can't seem to agree on why, though. Originally it seemed like he was storing up the energy from devoured worlds so he could, should the universe come to an end, use it to restart the whole thing. note Arguably, this is what happened in Secret Wars (2015); following the collapse and re-creation of the Multiverse, a series of events causes him to reach his final form, and start seeding dead planets for life. But this predictably did not last. Later authors suggested he needed the energy to maintain a seal that held the Eldritch Abomination Abraxas in check. Earth X posited that he was created to keep the numbers of Celestials (who incubated inside planets, with shells of Vibranium, and developed living/superpowered populations to protect them while they incubated) at manageable levels. | |

In a wider sense, this applies to Galactus's unique diet of planets. Specifically speaking, he has to drain the "bioenergy," or life-sustaining capabilities, of worlds. But there doesn't have to be life on the planet at the time—it just has to be capable of someday supporting it. Writers will often use this to Hand Wave why the Fantastic Four are helping an entity that eats entire planets—the heroes specifically try to send him to uninhabited worlds for his meals. | |

A God Am I: One of the most powerful forces in the Marvel Multiverse. Reducing matter to energy and travelling at 'impossible' speeds are everyday matters to him. With the aid of the Power Cosmic that invests him, even planet-shattering foes like Thor or the Hulk can be destroyed. In one DC/Marvel crossover he was noted for surviving Darkseid's Omega Beams, which are ordinarily a One-Hit Kill to anything. It's hard for him to stay humble: | |

Dub Name Change: In Spanish-translations: The completely stupid, silly and awful name of Alberto El Hambriento (Alberto the hungry) was given to Galactus by the now defunt Novaro editorial for a time. Quite difficult to take a planet-eater seriously with that name. The Mexican dub of the Hannah-Barbera cartoon of the The Fantastic Four named him Marte (Mars) for some unexplained reason. Still better than Alberto. The Latin American dub of the Silver Surfer cartoon named him "Galaxius", possibly to combine better with "galaxy", we are not sure. We repeat, still better than Alberto. | |

Determinator | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_e567510d | comment |
Determinator: Tasked with finding a way to save Taa, Galan piloted his ship into the heart of a Big Crunch singularity as a last resort. Galan would not stop, surviving radiation that killed not only his shipmates, but most of the life in the universe. Eventually, Galan gets the attention of the Sentience of the Universe, who gives rebirth to Galan as Galactus, and bids farewell to him when sent away into the new universe. Galan became this again after being depowered. Initially considering his merging with the Power Cosmic as it seeks him out to be inevitable, he became inspired after seeing the people around him struggling against the inevitable to survive. He used the Four's teleportation technology to warp to another dimension in an attempt to escape the Power Cosmic. Galan knew it would find him again sooner or later, but he realized he had to try. | |

You Cannot Grasp the True Form: The giant man with a weird helmet you see? That's only how your mind interprets what you are seeing. Every species in the Universe sees him differently because what he really looks like is beyond our understanding. An image of what various races interpret Galactus to look like is currently our page image. From Fantastic Four V1 #262. Galan is/was humanoid, so the Galactus that we see is perhaps closest to the real deal. Or perhaps we just saw him as a humanoid. Given that when Squirrel Girl faced off against him, her companion Tippy Toe saw him as a gigantic squirrel, it may instead be A Form You Are Comfortable With | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_e8e56799 | comment |
Blue-and-Orange Morality: Depending on the Writer. In Kirby's original story, Galactus was outright stated to be beyond good and evil and incapable of being judged by any human morality system. He more resembles a natural disaster than a man. During the Secret Wars event, when the Beyonder transported a group of heroes and villains to a distant planet to battle each other, Galactus was placed among the villains. Reed Richards found this to be completely incomprehensible, stating that Galactus was a force of nature and was no more capable of having enemies than a hurricane or an earthquake. Galactus completely ignored the rules that the Beyonder tried to impose on him, choosing instead to try to drain the planet of all its energy in order to challenge the Beyonder, whom he claimed had the power to end his all-consuming hunger. | |

Exact Words | |
| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: Galactus is a Rules Lawyer and will honor the word of any pact he makes. When the Space Knights offered a deal for him to feed on the Dark Nebula instead of their planet, Galactus kept up his end of the deal to spare their planet and keep their world from falling into the Dark Nebula even though he was under no obligation to. But he saved the planet by moving it to a location the Space Knights didn't know about. In a wider sense, this applies to Galactus's unique diet of planets. Specifically speaking, he has to drain the "bioenergy," or life-sustaining capabilities, of worlds. But there doesn't have to be life on the planet at the time—it just has to be capable of someday supporting it.

| Galactus (Comic Book) / int_f7b32015 | comment |
Sufficiently Advanced Alien: Even taking into fact he was once a man who became an energy being, most of Galactus's power really comes from technology. His form is encased in a special suit and even his planet eating is done with machinery. He apparently doesn't need his toys but survival would be a lot more difficult for him without them. Basically, the Taa II (his ship) lets him travel without using his own power, and the extraction machines he uses to drain planets are more efficient than he is. | |
