Why the fuck does Galactus need to eat all the goddamn time...

Why the fuck does Galactus need to eat all the goddamn time? He eats a whole planet then he needs to eat again 2 hours later. Does he have a tapeworm or something?

He starts with all the Asias first.

So who is this nigga? Like what's his origin and shit. Are there more like him

His name used to be Galan as it just so happens. He was the last surviving being of the previous universe. As such he became the planet eater of the new one because reasons.
There's only one Galactus per universe.

>Does he have a tapeworm or something?
No but his daughter does

>last survivor
>1 per universe
Uhhh nigga...

What?

He's saying if he's the last survivor then of course there's only one
But he's clearly not remembering all the multiverses and shit in comics

Funny fact about Galactus: In one shitty translation from Mexico, they called him "Alberto el Hambriento" (Hungry Albert)

Basically Galactus devours planets and stores the energy

When the universe ends, all that energy becomes the new universe

"Multiverse" is different from "universe" There are at least several universes per multiverse.

They explain it a few ways.
The main one is that he is so powerful that he requires sustenance regularly in order to keep himself at peak.
The other is that he is a balance. For all the new life beginning to bloom in the universe, there must be an end to others in order to regulate the universe. This is not his reason, but it is why he is the way he is.

Earth X explanation was better imo. Galactus specifically seeks out planets incubating Celestial eggs so they don't overrun the universe.

>For all the new life beginning to bloom in the universe, there must be an end to others in order to regulate the universe. This is not his reason, but it is why he is the way he is.
But life takes millions of years to evolve. If he's destroying a planet per week life is at a net loss.

...

And then he tried to eat the place he found out he couldn't

And Darkseid knew all along

And Galactus is all "Why the fuck did you fight me then you cockbag"

And Darkseid is all "It's my nature, just like you and eating shit"

Then they highfived and Galactus left

With sextillions of planets in the universe you'd have thousands of civilizations springing up every day.

Of course this never comes anymore because only humans read comics

oh wow the marvel universe cant even reset itself properly

i really should look into marvels mulitverse stuff dcs gets a lot of attention for them using it for stupid shit you dont get much chance to check out the marvel side.

I wish they played with concepts like this more. Old school cosmic-y stuff was the best. Its all gotten too dumbed down these days.

DC really has its workings more or less nailed down. Certainly far more than Marvel stuff which is mostly veiled in copious amounts of mystique and ambiguity. Which is sometimes good and sometimes not.

yeah i like dcs multiverse in theory i just dont like how they think they need to have these huge arse multiversel events to do retcons.

I'm saying how can he be the last survivor of his kind if there are others in other universes

>last survivor of his kind
That isn't what I said.

So, muties are Celestials' army?

Galactus is the machine that our dimension uses to perpetuate itself. Every time the heat death of the universe happens, that universe's Galactus 'dies' and all the energy he has eaten is unleashed in a whole new Big Bang. The last living being from the old universe is caught in the immense gravity of the big bang forming and for a brief moment becomes one with all of it. Then the universe is reborn in the big bang, the new Galactus is born and goes about eating. It is one part natural phenomenon and one part destiny driven genesis cycle.

At the beginning he could go for months without needing to eat, but most of his energy goes into containing itself so as time goes by he needs to eat faster and faster. That is why Galactus is something you fight against when he comes to your home planet, but you don't ever want to kill him. Because in addition to helping to fight against the big bad things like Thanos, Ego, or the annihilation wave, he also means that everything won't just end one day.

Galactus isn't a random dude that got powerful or etc, he is actually a part of the system of reality. He has Authority and can do things like talk to Death, Eternity, and even bring issues to The Living Tribunal if needed. These being view him as a peer.

Other universes weren't reborn from his universe, just the one.

Exactly. Celestials put super beings on planets as an immune system for their eggs.

You are confusing the universe with galaxies. All of everything in a dimension is in the universe. 616 is a universe.

Also Galactus wasn't what he is now when he was Galan, he originally was a humanoid mortal that became Galactus at the most recent Big Bang, and yes there have been many because Galactus is actually the system creation uses to keep everything going.

Heat death happens> Galactus dies > Last living being of that universe is drawn by fate to the giant mass that is the new big bang > book of Genesis happens again and a new Galactus is born.

When he eats a planet he also eats the cum, shit, pee, and period blood of everyone on that planet.

This actually is the best place to bring this up. Does anyone else think that the reason the Ultimate universe was so much weaker and shitty compared to 616 is because something happened to prevent Galactus from being reborn?

Supposedly the Phoenix has a helping hand in the rebirth of Galactus, and the Phoenix is also the guardian and preserver of all future life. So what if maybe the Phoenix wasn't active in Ultimate and that messed with the strength of life in that universe?

You know he doesn't physically eat the planet, right?

cum and shit energy

>last surviving being of the previous universe.
So yeah you did say that

His kind being living people in the universe and not Galactuses

>that one idiot in the thread who's mixing up universe and galaxy
Thanks for the laugh

I'm dc so we go by universes bro. I know what I'm talking about

And yet you clearly don't, but its okay... Even in DC they have multiverse with different universes, but they aren't actually together. They are separate 'earths' and their universes all contained in the orrery of worlds. You can't travel from Earth 52 to Earth 51 by starship, you have to use something that is able to punch a hole through the bleed and go to that universe.

No. No you do not.

Is Galactus not wearing pants?

You are only seeing it that way because it is your greatest fear... or desire.

...

It does happen sometimes. Godhunter by Kieron Gillen was probably the most recent I can remember where they did this. Galactus took the from of a mythical great destroyer while consuming an alien planet.

Something like this concept could have been done in the right creative hands, giving the character a more abstract appearance that's open to the viewer's interpretations, but at this point the character's pretty much locked into being a giant purple guy with a funny hat.

There was that time when he attacked the Korbinites and to them he appeared as a giant tentacled amoeba (though still purple with a funny hat).
But yeah, most writers/artists just use big hat guy as his "main" appearance and not just what humans see him as.

Whoa I like that and hope it remains canon

So how long until Gal goes back to nomming worlds?

Whenever they need to cause shit on space. Krees, Shi'ar, Spartax; you name it.

Either way doesn't Galactus new position defy everything he standed for? How will he reset the universe when it's dying?

Earth-X had some good cosmic stuff.

Also, she started out as one for him.

>Does he have a tapeworm or something?

He did.

>Does he have a tapeworm or something?
Yes, it's called Power Cosmic.

It's literally why the Inhumans exist.

And this is from before Marvel was pushing them to be their new X-men bullshit.

I thought the Inhumans were Kree-made living weapons?

that cover makes me expect it to be shit

i was just checking what her first apperance was but i think im going to read this instead

argh its only available on that stupid marvel unlimited shit if marvel is going to be difficult about this i will just pirate it instead

Me too.

I want to fuck Galactus' daughter.

It literally is not canon.
Earth X is a separate universe to 616, maybe even an entirely separate multiverse.
After all, also according to Earth X: mystical entities & dimensions don't actually exist. They're just parallel Earths that deviants fucked up.

Where was this mentioned in the comics anyway?
...And why is Al Ewing totally ignoring it, when he's an established Continuitymancer?

Nigga, everybody knows you gotta eat at least 3 times a day.

not if you want maximum time for JUSTICE

He needs all the energy to make up for the fact that every new monthly threat starts out by beating Galactus the fuck up.

mfw no giant qt going around looking at planets to eat but decides not to because shes on a diet.

>maybe even an entirely separate multiverse.
That's not how that works. go away.

It does. Multiverse just means many, they can occur in clusters. You're thinking of an Omniverse.
The Earth-X trilogy spells out how the multiverse works in relation to Earth-X and it's not how it works in 616 and every parallel universe touching 616.

>Omniverse.
that would include our universe too.

Isn't he currently giving life to planets?

not really think of dc for all we know there could be more multiverses beyond the source wall

Marvel doesn't have a source wall.
Earth X has crossed over with 616 in Uncanny Avengers anyway. So... yeah.

Where did Tenebrous and Aegis come from?

Elder Gods. First things in the new universe iirc.

Did Mister Immortal finally become the new Galactus now that 616 is over?

>now that 616 is over
Its not over. Unfortunately.

Yes, but even the Ultimates said it's only temporary.

...

He is asking if he is one then why the fuck there is a different galactus on Ultimate earth, zombie earth etc.

But I clearly see the pants. What kind of gay desires does your heart hold secret?

>He is asking if he is one then why the fuck there is a different galactus on Ultimate earth, zombie earth etc.
There isn't only one. There is one per universe. Those earths are obviously in different universes. Jesus fucking christ!

OP should have said last survivor of the multiverse, which gets destroyed periodically

Actually no, it was enjoyable.

It was also written before...well what we have now, so surprisingly it was about a female, centered around that female, and was actually readable.

Thanks for reminding me that Mini-Marvels isn't a thing any more.

If his equipment is broken he can and will eat the planet.

Oh, I got it, how about we make him a giant space cloud?

In the original Kirby-Lee version he was going to give this energy back to the universe but this has long been retconned.

>literally why the Inhumans exist
Wow, such an ignorant post.

It's crazy to think how far Byrne has fallen.

The real answer is that originally the Ultimate Universe was going to be treated as its own separate thing, completely removed from the Marvel Multiverse (by writers and editors that is) and slowly but surely Marvel stopped having the UU be its own little corner.

Does Galactus sleep? I know it's a stupid question but surely the man doesn't go around eating planets.

>...And why is Al Ewing totally ignoring it, when he's an established Continuitymancer?
Ewing's going by the original Kirby-Lee version, which to all continuity fags' credits, has been replaced for decades now.

Nah

Storytime

...

...

Taa really reminds me of how Asgard used to look in Kirby's Thor run, now that I think of it.

He's not. Order kicks off about the shift in Galactus status quo and Molecule Man and Galactus talk about whether the Universe actually ended or not with Secret Wars

It did in Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.
