Galactoom

### Leader

**Galactoom**, the destroyer of all worlds, the ultimate monster, the Thunderman killer, the great equalizer, the oblivion giver.

### Special adaptations

Variable. Galactoom is perceived differently by all sentient life-forms in the universe. In the case of the humanoids originating from the Milky Way galaxy (Earth, Xann) Galactoom present himself in the form of a grey and tall monster with sharp and protuberant bones. It is important to note that in the account of all the living beings in the universe, Galactoom has this general aggressive and pointy quality about him. The mere act of touching him could blast you into atoms. When he is ‘’eating’’ planets, he literally beat matter with his god-like strength so he can siphon it to sustain him. At the end, he left only barren landscapes were only minimum life could survive. When pushed to its limits he is known to literally destroy planets (see Mongrulls). Between planets he travels in a special protective cocoon inside his spherical ship. He is much more rational and cosmically aware in this mode. Unleashed, he becomes personified death and destruction.

**History**: Galactoom existed at the very beginning of creation and he will probably exist until the very end of times. He originates from another universe that was destroyed before the 1st age. An old scientist in Baa, one of last standing world far from the implosion of the universe, he sought a way to save life at all cost from the end of their 5th world. In experiments that would take rushed years, he utilised cloning and natural evolution experiments that would maximize the chances of a surviving organism in impossible conditions. But soon he knew it was not enough, so he created a small black hole in his lab and threw his new creations in it. They had a special apparatus on them that could catalog the genetic variations when the subject died. With time, the subjects took more and more time before being sucked into the void of anti-matter. When the grand end of things came upon Baa, Galan was ready. He transferred his consciousness into the best cloned body he could create and launched himself into the breach in a specially crafted protective ship. Even with all his precisions, mortals and gods still debate over how Galan might have survived. If the experiments may have helped, the transition in the new born universe gave the being now called Galactoom near limitless power. Needless to say, when the 1st World of the new universe came, the first living and natural forces came into conflict with him. Content of feeding from the primordial sun for millennia’s, he soon hungered for more. War did not exist in that times, and a deal has to be made. Galactoom would hunt down the newly-decaying planets with his fury and implacable hunger. He would be the ultimate cosmic balance, giving peace to corrupted and violent worlds, so that life could grew anew under the hospices of light and control. It was thus for Eons, and Galactoom helped the side of light against the rebellious forces of dark in the 2nd age. The situation deteriorated in the 3rd age has Galactoom became a target of glory for all the Demons Spheres and the God Worlds. Every enemy that was foolish enough to openly oppose him had their world ravaged and their lineage erased from existence. To protect himself from the gods and to help him search for suitable planets, he soon adopted the tradition of having a herald, a powerful being that would be his representative. As the 4th World progressed, this would become a problem has his heralds had a tendency to revolt against him more and more frequently. The first was the Lost One, which nearly took the entire universe with him in his madness. The Green Totem Corps helped Galactoom defeat him and gave him a herald possessed by the green fire of life, the Lantern, to keep the balance in the universe while a replacement could be selected. Soon, Odin-El of planet Asguard offered the Metallic Destroyer, his personal robotic bodyguard, has the herald. For centuries this proved to be a winner combination: A natural force of nature combined, they cleansed many aggressive and imperialistic worlds at that time. But the cosmic brute sought companionship in his arrogance that a simple automaton could not give. So tree millions years ago, he lied for the first time, telling Norin Jonzz his planet would be spared so that he could become his herald (see Silver Manhunter). He destroyed Morgos, home planet of the Mongrulls 20 years ago. When he came to ravage earth 10 years ago, Galactoom had to face the treason of his old herald, the Silver Manhunter. His sacrifice, the interference of the Doomed Four and the power of the Nullifier Box led him to spare the planet for the first time. He then set his sight on neighboring Xann. The planet android benefactor, Ulthoon Lan, gave himself to save his people. All the power in his synthetic body soon made him mad however, and the Green Totem Corps again at to help, sending Xann’s born Pyreus Jad to fill the void left by Lan absence. Jad seemingly died protecting his master in Infinity Crisis and had to be replaced. Galactoom was weakened by Thanatos during the Crisis and could feed by himself only with great time and effort. When Tytar the Terrible welcomed the hungered Galactoom on his planet with open arms and prayers to destroy his violent world, he knew he had found his new herald. But Te’rral’Ax was a devious nihilist who controlled Galactoom through his guilt over the planets he spared and his desperate need for energy. 4 years ago he conducted him back to Earth. There, with demined powers thanks to the machinations of his herald, Galactoom faced the Justice Avengers and the Doomed Four in New-Metropolis. Even then, they were no match for this cosmic being of awesome power. No hero was a match except one: Thunderman. As the Doomed Four were taking care of Te’rral’Ax, the hammer of steel was the last man standing against this violent force of nature. In an epic and long battle that would be told for millennia’s, the two clashed for their very existence. With a last minute help from a comatose Strange Thing, Thunderman penetrated the mental barrier of Galactoom in an ultimate chance to bring the monster down. The two collided, seemingly killing themselves instantly. Although both of them came back with the unseen help of Oblivion (see Night War), Galactoom did not swear vengeance, in fact keeping a non-agression pact with Earth. The only obligation was to give him his two new heralds: Blink and Golden Manhunter.
