Before we carry on with the series on best superheroes, I think I should release a piece on Galactus's current stand in the Marvel Omniverse.
Everyone knows Galactus as a a big baddie, most even know him as the biggest baddie in the marvel universe, I mean the guy eats planets for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and its of little concern to him if there is any sentient life on those planets, but is that all there is to the devourer of worlds?, recently in Ultimates we have been shown the true story behind galactus and how he came to be, I will shed some more light soon with these panels
In the marvel universe Black Panther, Blue Marvel, Captain Marvel, Miss America, and Spectrum came together to form a superhero team that focuses on the problems of the whole Multiverse, their first problem was Galactus's constant feeding (i.e destroying whole planets) and to do so they decide to evolve him into a higher state, even though they didn't know exactly what would happen, the voice in the yellow letters in the speech bubbles belongs to Black Panther as he is being transported via Translocation he sees some insight into Galactus's origin.
It turns out Galactus originally lived in a previous universe to the current one, He was an explorer, and his name was Galan, his planet's name was Taa, probably the most advanced race at the time, but the problem was that their universe was coming to an end, so they decided to face the problem rather than die waiting, but as they approached the nexus, their ship got destroyed and the dying heart of the universe bonded to Galan and he survived the death of that universe, the wreckage of his ship was transformed into an incubator that held him for Eons in the new universe, transforming him over time, but the process was disrupted by a race of war-hungry beings, who he proceeded to destroy as soon as he was born, the next thing he did was to go to the peaceful planet of archieopia which would be the first planet he would destroy. And so begins his rampage as this:
Fast forward a couple thousand years to the present where the team is trying to fix him up, they get his incubator from a warlord on a very strange planet, and they proceed to do this:
Needless to say, the plan works and guess what, Galactus is reborn as an Infinite source of life energy, Even his colour scheme Changes
His first act as 'Good Galactus' is to restore the very first planet he destroyed (i.e Archieopia)
So it turns out that galactus was actually supposed to be a source of life for all, and not the cosmic destructor most of us know him to be, I'm really curious as to what you guys think about this and would like to hear from you in the comments below, any additions, corrections, or suggestions, and if you would like more Galactus themed posts. As always, I appreciate an upvote and will reply to as many comments as I can, Have a nice day everyone.
