Galactus (Marvel Comics)

## Summary

**Galactus** was originally an explorer named Galan from a planet called "Taa" in a universe which existed before the big bang. When the impending cataclysm gradually killed all life in his universe, including almost all of his own people, he and other survivors sought to escape the decay of their world. They left Taa via a space vessel, but it was eventually engulfed in the cataclysm that ended the old universe and spawned a new one. Galan, however, did not die, but was transformed by the Sentience of the Universe, and gestated for billions of years, emerging (partially due to the inactivity of a Watcher) into the new universe as Galactus.

However, Galactus had absorbed some of the energies previously drained from him before releasing the energy-wave, meaning that while still weakened, he wasn't quite starving anymore) | **High Multiverse level+** (Fought Mephisto in the demon's own dimension, and shattered galaxies as a result. Fought against, and overpowered Odin. Future Galactus' battle with King Thor affected entire galaxies. Doctor Doom with Galactus' power easily defeated the forces of Earth and Asgard, including Odin). |  **High Multiverse level+** (Killed a Mad Celestial. Fought against, and stalemated the In-Betweener. Stalemated Agamotto.
