Formerly a mortal man, he is a cosmic entity who consumes planets to sustain his life force, and serves a functional role in the upkeep of the primary Marvel continuity. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appeared in Fantastic Four #48 (March 1966).
In 1939, a teenage Stan Lee began his career in comics and 75 years later, he is celebrated as the creative tour de force behind Marvel's Silver Age - the co-creator of beloved characters like Spider-Man, the Fantastic Four, Hulk, Thor and the X-Men. Take part in Stan 'The Man' Lee's historic legacy!
Where did Galactus come from? The character now known as Galactus began life as Galan of Taa. Hailing from the reality that existed before the current one, he and a group of fellow adventurers attempted to explore a "Cosmic Egg." Galan was the only survivor and merged with a being called the Sentience of the Cosmos.
The Fantastic Four learn that they aren't the only super-powered beings in the universe when they square off against the powerful Silver Surfer and the planet-eating Galactus.
Though similarly omnipotent, Galactus is not a Celestial. In one version of his comics origin story, Galactus was actually once a more ordinary being named Galan from the planet Taa, which met with a catastrophic demise after most of its people were wiped out by a plague.
The first (and oldest) living entity in the universe, Galactus was created during the union of the Sentience of the (previous) Universe and Galan of Taa, and is described as "the physical, metamorphosed embodiment of a cosmos." Although not an abstract, non-corporeal entity, his true form cannot be perceived by most ...
Kang is stronger then Galactus! Kang is a threat for the entire multiverse (so also What If...?, Raimi and Webb trilogies, Fox X-Men Universe), has millions of Variants + the entire TVA can travel through the multiverse and through time!
Galactus would win. Dormammu may be a god within the Dark Dimension but he's a fairly weak one. Doctor Strange has been able to defeat him there. Galactus is on a whole different level of power.
Only with the power of the Infinity Stones does Thanos stand a chance of beating Galactus in a fight; it's fortunate for him (and for the universe) that Galactus considers himself above such moral concepts as good and evil, choosing instead to eat planets out of a desire to satiate his hunger rather than a desire to ...
Beyond good and evil, forced to destroy entire worlds to survive, Galactus is intimately tied to the nature of the universe. He believes it is his destiny to ultimately give back to the universe much more than he has taken. He currently has two heralds, Silver Surfer, and Stardust.
Superman's powers have gone through many changes over the years, but he's still the most physically powerful being on the Earth. He's faced down all kinds of threats and won, whether through brute strength or a combination of brains and brawn. His power is certainly enough to beat Galactus, but he'd go the extra mile.
Rather than compete, Doom attacked the Beyonder, the cosmic entity who had transported him to Battleworld. Stealing the powerful being's abilities, Doom essentially became a god.
Lee makes a posthumous appearance in Madness in the Method (2019). This marks his final film appearance and the film is dedicated to him. Lee makes a posthumous appearance in Jay and Silent Bob Reboot (2019) through the use of archival footage of himself and Kevin Smith taken from Comic Con.
Despite the critical success while voicing his philosophy in Amazing Fantasy, Stan Lee's favorite character wasn't Spider-Man. It wasn't even a character he created himself. Stan Lee's favorite character was actually Jack Kirby's Silver Surfer.
Odin stands a good chance at defeating a moderately-fed Galactus. Odin has been stated to be equal to a moderately-fed Galactus. Though Galan did withstand a powerful headbutt from Odin. The Devourer had just consumed one planet before that.
A master of science and magic, Doctor Doom has long been perhaps Marvel's most capable evil-doer. Doom has stolen the powers of Galactus on multiple occasions, as well as those of the all-powerful Beyonder (as seen in both 1984 and 2017's Secret Wars.)
Thor's latest feat proves that he is one of the most powerful entities in the Marvel Comics universe, surpassing even Galactus himself. Thor's ability to break free from Nightmare's control shows his adaptability and confirms his status as the mightiest god.
Wiz: Unicron was an insanely terrifying threat, but Galactus had the power, experience, and arsenal to ultimately annihilate him. Boomstick: If you thought Galactus was going down in this fight, you are "Unic-wrong". We cut to the "Winner" card. Wiz: The winner is Galactus.
Galactus is easily one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe, but DC's equivalent, Imperiex, puts that power to shame. I would say Imperiex, though in typical DC fashion (aka “op”) this entity consumes galaxies while Galactus is a “mere” planet-eater.
Galactus may have immense power, but he needs to constantly feed on planetary-levels of energy to sustain it. Goku, on the other hand, often reaches his most powerful form when he's at the very end of his rope. So while Galactus would get weaker as the fight went on, Goku would get stronger, giving him the edge.
Eventually, Captain America defeats Kang before Ravonna uses his time crystal to regress him to an infant. In the post-credits, an elderly Kang joins Ravonna, Cosmo the Spacedog, Man-Thing, and the Supreme Intelligence in warning Captain America, Captain Marvel, and Iron Man of a new threat.
Marvel's New Loki Is More Powerful Than Thanos and Galactus, Combined. Avengers #65 reveals that Avenger Prime, aka a variant of Loki, is more powerful than Thanos, Galactus, Doctor Doom, Mephisto and more.
