**Galactus** is an extremely powerful cosmic being. In order to survive Galactus must feed on the life force of planets throughout the cosmos. To find these planets Galactus has heralds who are beings that he infuses with a small portion of his cosmic power. The Heralds of Galactus search the cosmos for planets teeming with life for Galactus to devour. Galactus could be considered the greatest threat to the universe.

## History

### Zenn-La

Galactus arrived on the planet, Zenn-La and intended to drain its life energy. However, a citizen of Zenn-La, Norrin Radd, flew a space ship into space to talk to Galactus. Norrin told Galactus that if he spared his world he would search out planets with energy for him to drain. Galactus agreed to Norrin Radd's request and gave him a small portion of his Cosmic Power which turned him into the Silver Surfer. However, Galactus also removed the Silver Surfer's memories of Zenn-La so that he could control him.

### Earth

Silver Surfer later regained the memories Galactus stole from him and he swore to get revenge on the Devourer of Worlds.

When Silver Surfer confronted Galactus he learned that he had found another world to feed upon. Galactus chose the planet Earth.

As Galactus began to feed upon Earth, Silver Surfer confronted him and demanded that Galactus return all his memories to him. However, Galactus refused. Despite this Silver Surfer continued to demand the return of his old life. This angered Galactus and he fired a bolt of Cosmic Power at Silver Surfer. This beam of energy was so powerful that it sent Silver Surfer crashing into Earth.

While on the Earth's surface Silver Surfer saw the inhabitants of the world and did not want to see them perish at the hands of Galactus. As Silver Surfer flew back into space he attacked Galactus' ship. However, Galactus was able to capture Silver Surfer inside a force field bubble and bring him onto his ship.

Silver Surfer was able to escape to force field and fought against Galactus to no avail. However, Galactus saw that Silver Surfer was a noble man and decided to spare Earth. However, Galactus realized that he could no longer trust the Silver Surfer so he released him from his pladge to serve him. Shortly after this Galactus chose an Earth woman named Frankie Raye to be his new herald. Galactus gave Frankie the Power of Cosmic and it turned her into Nova.

### Dying

Several thousands of years ago an alien race created a living virus called the Universal Scourge to kill Galactus.

In the present day the Universal Scourge grew on a planet. The Universal Scourge then sent a signal to Galactus as a trap. As Galactus arrived at the planet it feed upon it's energy. However, the Universal Scourge infected Galactus and made him extremely ill.

Nova contacted Silver Surfer and he came to Galactus' aide because he knew that if Galactus died so would everything his Cosmic Power touched which included himself, Nova, Zenn-La and Earth. Galactus then used his Cosmic Power to shrink Silver Surfer and the Silver Surfer went into Galactus' body to combat the Universal Scourge.

Silver Surfer was nearly defeated by the Universal Scourge. However, Galactus gave his last remaining amount of Cosmic Power to Silver Surfer which made him even stronger. Silver Surfer was then able to use the Power Cosmic to defeat the Universal Scourge and save Galactus.

### Time reversal

Sometime later Silver Surfer went to Galactus and begged him to be his herald once more, but only on the condition that he be allowed to see Zenn-La and his love, Shalla-Bal. Galactus agreed. However, Silver Surfer woke up from a nap and realized that it was all just a dream.

Silver Surfer later found the real Galactus but realized that something was wrong. There was a disruption in the space time continuum and time was moving in reverse. Silver Surfer went to speak to Galactus. However, Galactus believed that Silver Surfer was responsible for time moving backwards and Galactus attacked him. Galactus almost killed Silver Surfer. However, time began to go in reverse again.

Silver Surfer soon discovered that Thanos was responsible for the time anomaly and fought him. However, Silver Surfer was apparently killed during the battle.

*Had a second season of Silver Surfer been produced it would have wrapped up the cliffhanger from season one and Silver Surfer would have defeated Thanos.*
## Powers, equipment and weaknesses

### Powers

Galactus possesses an immeasurable amount of Cosmic Power. Cosmic Power is a source of vast limitless godly power. Galactus is able to fire gigantic bolts of Cosmic energy from his hands.

Galactus is able to share small portions of this power with others. These beings become his heralds.

### Equipment

Galactus travels the cosmos in a giant flying saucer. This saucer has tubes that dig into a planet's surface and drain the planets life energy and feed Galactus.

### Weaknesses

Galactus must periodically absorb the life energy of entire planets. If Galactus does not absorb a planets life energy he will die.

## In the comics

Before the birth of the present universe, there was another universe, and the being known as Galactus is it's only survivor. Galen was born on a world named Taa, and he knew that his universe was dying. It was collapsing toward a central point called the "Cosmic Egg". It was also releasing lethal radiation that exterminated entire civilizations. Realizing that there was no way to save Taa, Galen decided to drive his starship directly into the heart of the "Cosmic Egg," but instead of serving as his funeral pyre, it somehow absorbed Galen into itself. After an undetermined amount of time, the "Cosmic Egg" underwent a "Big Bang" that created the current universe, and Galen was reborn. He was now Galactus, a creature with incalculable power and a never-ending hunger for energy.
