Invasion of Galactus

The **Invasion of Galactus** (also known as the **Attack of Galactus**) was a final war-like battle from Marvel's *The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes*. It deals with the Avengers and their many superhero allies fighting against Galactus the Devour of Worlds and his heralds who have come to destroy the Earth. It takes place in the series finale episode, "Avenges Assemble!"

## History

### Background

It all started with a giant powerful cosmic being made of pure energy and contained by a huge cosmic armor named Galactus the Devour of Worlds. Galactus would go around the Galaxy attacking other planets and convert the planet's energy into Anti-Matter so he could consume it which would destroy the planet in the process. He also had Heralds to do his bidding who were all elemental cosmic energy constructs that he created. At one point, Galactus attacked and destroyed the Skrulls' home planet, Skrullos during the Kree-Skrull War which caused the Skrulls to be scattered across the Galaxy and conquer other worlds to fight against the Kree with their prophesied new home being Earth which led to the Skrull Invasion. Captain America even found out about Galactus' history with the Skrulls from a Skrull Interrogator he interrogated while being held prisoner on a Skrull ship by the Skrulls before the invasion.

### The Battle

Then one day, Galactus decides to attack Earth and sends out his Heralds to attack different parts of the Earth to prepare for his coming by installing tower-like machines that would allow him to consume the Earth's energy when transforming it into Anti-Matter. One of them named Terrax arrives in New York City with large chunks of rocks and informs the Avengers that Galactus is coming so the Avengers try to fight him off but Terrax is too powerful and easily defeats them. He then starts building one of the machines in New York City while the other heralds; Air-Walker, Stardust, and Firelord do the same in the Arctic, in the ocean, and in a volcano. Terrax even seals up all the Earth by surrounding it with large chunks of rocks to prevent anyone from leaving and then Galactus arrives on his ship through a wormhole. With that, the Avengers decide that they would need help to fight back against Galactus by having J.A.R.V.I.S. call up all their allies to help them under Captain America's leadership known as Code White. When they all arrive at Avengers Mansion, Captain America explains the situation to them and gives out a plan to stop Galactus and his Heralds. In order to do this, the heroes will all split up into five separate teams of five Aevnegrs to take down each of the machines and Galactus' ship which the Avengers get there by flying and/or taking the Quinjets to their locations. The first team consisting of Captain America, Iron Fist, Spider-Man, War Machine, and Quake will fight off Terrax the Earth Herald in New York City. The second team consisting of Thor, Vision, Falcon, Power Man, and Black Widow will fight off Air-Walker the Air Herald in the Arctic. The third team consisting of Human Torch, Wasp, Hawkeye, Wolverine, and Thing will fight off Stardust the Water Herald in the ocean. The fourth team consisting of Ant-Man, Black Panther, Hulk, Winter Solider, and Invisible Woman will fight off Firelord the Fire Herald in the volcano. While the fifth and final team consisting of Iron Man, Ms. Marvel, Mr. Fantastic, Yellowjacket, and Doc Samson will infiltrate Galactus' ship to take him down. The Avenger teams all fight off the Heralds, defeat them, and take out their machines with Captain America defeating Terrax while Quake and War Machine destroy his machine, Hulk defeating Firelord while Winter Soldier destroys his machine, Wasp defeating Stardust while Hawkeye destroys her machine, and Vision defeating Air-Walker while Black Widow destroys his machines using bombs. Meanwhile, Iron Man's team finds Galactus, and Yellow Jacket tries to take him down by shrinking him but it doesn't work as Galactus grows back to normal so Iron Man's team fights off Galactus. But when Galactus sees the destruction of the machines he goes down to Earth, fixes them with his cosmic powers, and begins to devour the Earth by using the machines to convert Earth's energy into Anti-Matter. Ms. Marvel tries to fight off Galactus by herself but fails but then Iron Man gets an idea to have him and Mr. Fantastic use Galactus' ship to create a wormhole to send him to the Negative Zone which is full of Anti-Matter. Later, Ms. Marvel, War Machine, and Thor try fighting off Galactus together but he proves to be too strong and powerful to be beaten. Until Iron Man and Mr. Fantastic activate the wormhole from Galactus' ship and they get out of it with the rest of their team just in time. The wormhole destroys Galactus' ship and pulls both him and his machines into the Negative Zone which is keyed to Galactus' cosmic energy. When he tries to get out both Iron Man and Thor blast him back in with a repulsor blast and lighting attack then the wormhole closes.

### Aftermath

With Galactus gone, the Earth saved and freed from the rocks surrounding it, the entire Galaxy is now safe and free from Galactus, and all the Avengers are hailed as heroes while Galactus would also only consume the Anti-Matter from the Negative Zone forever.
