Galactus

Galactus is an eldritch cosmic entity in the fictional universe of Marvel by Marvel Comics. 
==Background==
Galactus is the survivor of a previous universe who ended up in the current one and became a cosmic being, one who has been forced to feed on the energies of worlds for billions of years. Known as the Devourer of Worlds, Galactus empowers chosen individuals to become his Cosmic Heralds, who represent him in the cosmos and find worlds for him to feed on. Though to humans, he appears as a colossal human-like alien, that is how their minds perceive him and other lifeforms (both sentient and non-sentient) see a different form when looking at Galactus.
He is a being of great power who was able to survive the impact of two planets and being attacked by planet-killing Nega-Bombs. Galactus destroyed solar systems with his energy blasts and during a battle with the Hell Lord Mephisto, they affected several galaxies. Other known abilities include teleportation, creating inter-dimensional portals, telepathic communication across the universe, matter transmutation and god-like strength. In one alternate future, he grew to be larger than several combined galaxies.
==Lovecraftian Influences==
Although not directly based on the Cthulhu Mythos, Galactus' characterization incorporates many familiar elements of cosmic horror. Similarly to many Lovecraftian entities, Galactus views other lifeforms as insignificant to himself and operates outside the traditional concept of morality; being neither truly good or evil, despite wiping out countless civilizations for his own survival. Further adding to the theme of existential dread, the character was originally created because the writers wanted to explore what it would be like if the heroes were forced to fight against a truly god-like being.
