Galactus: The Devourer of Worlds

A Unique Cosmic Origin

Before becoming Galactus, he was Galan, a scientist from the advanced planet Taa, which existed in the previous universe. When that universe collapsed in the Big Crunch, Galan merged with a Cosmic Entity, emerging as Galactus in the new universe. Now, he roams the galaxies, absorbing planetary energy to sustain his existence.

Unmatched Power

Galactus wields unimaginable strength through the Power Cosmic, granting him god-like abilities. He can manipulate matter and energy on an unfathomable scale, create and destroy at will, and even alter reality itself. He is often accompanied by heralds, such as Silver Surfer, who scout for planets for him to consume.

An Ambiguous Relationship with Heroes

Although frequently opposed by the Fantastic Four and other defenders of Earth, Galactus does not view himself as an evil force. He acts out of necessity, consuming worlds to survive, without malicious intent. This ambiguous nature makes him a compelling figure, straddling the line between cosmic threat and essential force of balance.

A Symbol of Infinity and Fate

Galactus represents the fundamental forces of the universe, reminding all that nothing lasts forever. His very existence challenges heroes to surpass their limits while raising profound questions about humanity’s place in the cosmos. He is the embodiment of the inevitable, a force that cannot be stopped—only delayed.
