What It's Like To Fight Galactus

Issue: Cataclysm #1-2

[@Dimitriterrorman]

i really dislike how galactus has absolute control over the universe with the power cosmic but he only fires beems and shit
like he could turn the avengers into ice by changing their molocules
and i know its broken but thats the writters fault,missusing his powers is just an insult to us readers

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

That goes for many heroes also. Like Thor who can do that on a smaller scale Almost never uses it. For Galen its Amplified

[@wadegittleson1317]

Perhaps Galactus realises the Avengers have an important role to play in the universe and prefers not to kill them

[@mrpgarner1982]

This is the 1610 version of Galactus.

[@RandomizationShow]

This is 616 galactus. And hes low effort as hell here because he doesn't even deem any of them a threat, if we threw characters like 616 Thor, Sentry, Dr. strange, Phoenix etc. he would actually fight with effort lol. To him they aren't worth exerting himself

[@kazejah1014]

True. But it is still fun and great the Galactus arcs where the hopelessness of the encounter shines through, like this one, and the one where he absorbed Dormammu and went on a TEAR!!!

[@JThePervertedSummoner]

Kinda funny the idea of Galactus appearing out of nowhere casually destroying New Jersey like he has a beef with that place

[@Amazingfilms148]

When the Avengers existed, he has that beef

[@Jm-ki4su]

imagine he tries that in ohio or florida.

[@OldScratch81]

Marvel definitely has a problem with New Jersey , its called EVS and comics gate 😂

[@jeffwinkler1137]

If only Pauly and Snooky woulda been there....

[@GlidingZephyr]

"Hey! I'm just livin' here! C'monnnn!" 🤌

[@e.p.3900]

I like it when Galactus is like this, and not being every new character’s punching bag like in the 616

[@youbymanfann7396]

Those galactus are not 616 but the other versions that are weaker.

[@itssangyel4751]

616 versions are stronger than the rest hence why 616 galactus soloed ultimates universe easily where in 616 he’d lose

[@JimsonJameson]

Galactus is not a threat that you punch with your might and defeat. He's a Lovecraftian Eldritch horror that you struggle to survive. You can't punch an earth quake or your own inevitable death. Galactus is representative of the struggle that we must all endure. We have to come to terms with and accept that the universe is just as hostile to your life as it is benevolent and that one day it WILL kill you.

[@luciferneverchanges5841]

Basically unless you are god level+ in power or Reed Richards he is just going to ignore your existence. Anything you throw at him is like throwing a pebble at 5 inch thick bullet proof glass.

[@michaelgarcia5680]

Unless your a god like entity like Eternity or someone he cares about and would hold back on like Silver Surfer your as good as dead.

[@VanTesla]

​@RealStevenSeagalTalking about intelligence and strategy not quantifying power. Reed in comics has made Galactus leave in the 616 Earth several times. By figuring out how to entice or bother Galactus to leave. The Ultimate Universe in this first meeting doesn't have their Reed.

[@michaelgarcia5680]

@RealStevenSeagalunderstood unless your any of these guys Galactus is gonna give you the cosmic smoke.

[@VanTesla]

@RealStevenSeagal I'm pretty sure the first example is from the old cartoon, which was and still hilarious. I was more thinking when Reed got ahold of the Ultimate Nullifier to make Galactus back down before. Or give him an alternative source instead of eating Earth's Energy.

[@cornucopiac1088]

Well, if you throw the pebble hard enough... say with like a railgun...

And there's Rune King Thor who would pretty much make Galactus the Herald of Thor instead xD

[@andrewboyer7544]

I would love an author to come in and have Galactus curb stomp 99% of the people hes jobbed too like Sentry. Just to put him back where he needs to be. No single hero should be a threat to the third force of the universe. Galactus should be a hurricane that you simply have to escape or survive. Hes such a fantastic and wasted character.

[@cheeseburgerfreddy6350]

Galactus never jobbed to sentry though the fight was off panel so we don't even know what happened, plus there are characters like Franklin Richards, legion and Jean with the phoenix or sentry that are as powerful as Galactus or have the potential to be. I want Galactus to be at the top as well but marvel already made more than enough characters that could defeat or challenge him and this was long before the 2000s.

[@andrewboyer7544]

@cheeseburgerfreddy6350 well in those rare cases it wouldn't be jobbing. You are the greatest Phoenix host you can challenge G. Richard's has always been problematic. You have to write him into a box because he's so powerful there can't be threats. So I'm comfortable with outlier characters like that. I beef with Sentry as he's been a stable member of earth's heroes for so long it just diffuses the writing. I honestly don't see you disagreeing with my overall concept. Writers just need to leave Galan out of things just to show off how strong someone is.

[@cheeseburgerfreddy6350]

@@andrewboyer7544 I don't mind certain characters giving Galactus a run for his money or defeating him, The problem is marvel writers had too many characters doing this and it was no longer cool or entertaining. Sentry hasn't been around long and most times he's taken out of stories or ends up as a villain or anti hero.

[@andrewboyer7544]

@@cheeseburgerfreddy6350 Yeah, this happens with a lot of guys. When you do it too much it stops being impressive and you just roll your eyes. I've always said the best writers can establish a character as a threat and make all characters involved look good. I remember how well this was done during the Annihilation saga's.

[@Freefall347]

I mean, Sentry beat Molecule Man though, so I'm not sure it would necessarily be "jobbing." Sentry in general is kind of an iffy character, that whole Void aspect is basically used by writers to just do whatever they want with him. Loses to Hulk? Stalemates the Hulk? Yeah, that sounds cool. Solos a guy who can shatter and rebuild galaxies on a whim? Why not, sounds awesome.

[@camiloandreshernandezpaz1122]

Well, Galactus is basically a All-Powerfull Like God. So yes, to him we sre nothing but ants

[@haldyordan2316]

Much less than ants, ants can hurt you😅....

[@jessemillan1385]

The fact that Galactus came to devour the Ultimate Universe is just terrifying. No wonder the Ultimates struggled to stop him.
I need to read Cataclysm: The Ultimates' Last stand, Ultimate Spider-Man: Cataclysm, and Hunger.

[@kolat10]

back before they started to make cosmic entities everyones whipping boys to say look at how powerful i am now...when odin had to use everything to stall him and all he did was hurt him...forced odin into odin sleep and galactus just instantly healed...whenever marvel wants to whip up some new bad like knull or make some hero look powerful just dust off galactus or celestials and have them one shotted. heck dc guilty of it all the time with spectre...when has been relevant recently...he used to be feared now a joke, heck they started to make darkseid a whippin boy to.

[@michaelhunt739]

I'm not very knowledgeable about comics but I've been watching death battle videos and every time they mention a character fighting/beating the spectre they mention it like it's the ultimate feat but then you here them mention the same feat over and over with other characters in other videos and it got me wondering if the spectre really is that powerful after all.

[@GuardianGrarl]

Ultimates... That explains a lot.

[@llSuperSaiyanll]

Galactus is the literal personification of an unwinnable scenario.
He is "The Be All To End All."
You exist because he allows it. And you will end. . .because he demands it.

[@JT-gi8rx]

Stark needs that Celestial body armour thing. The armour he made from the body of a dead Celestial I think is what it is. Maybe that would get the job done. But probably takes a few Celestials to take out Galactus.

[@danieldickson8591]

We have seen that confrontation depicted in comics. And yes, it did.

[@jeffwinkler1137]

I think my first exposure to Big G was in The Trial of Reed Richards, made me go out at 12 to local comic expo and get a FF # 48, my best comic buy ever, got decent copy for $4!

[@strivingacres8105]

Nice to see Galactus actually looking dangerous for a change. Lately, he's been slapped around by basically everyone.

[@thomasspradley4975]

You don't fight Galactus, you run away from him.

[@jamIam6548]

Galactic Kaiju!

[@truexchaosx6099]

For reference, this is during Jonathan Hickmans Avengers and Incursions event. During it, Galactus was brought to the Ultimate Universe. And after arriving, was low on energy, and decided to feed. It's said later he doesn't know where he is, and doesn't know if he has the energy to get back, but he will eat everything trying.

[@michaelgarcia5680]

What it’s like to fight Galactus? Ask Odin, Thor, and Surfer since they have had to fight him before and I think they’ll all say it was a major pain in the ass.

[@ryansmecker9943]

Also ask Thanos as well.

a video of the ultimate universe? these because marvel already confirmed that there will be a new totally different ultimate universe,

[@truexchaosx6099]

Later, they go to Mysterio(who peter left in the ultimate world) and ask him what this is. Once he sees the photos he goes "Oh shit. Do you have a Reed Richard's? Cause without him, we're fucked."

[@anthonyhudak9363]

I realized that the finale of Earth's Mightiest Heroes which featured Galactus was heavily inspired by this cause Galactus doesn’t speak and they plan to beat him by spending him away to another universe

[@MM-zg4wu]

Galactus popped in for a quick bite:)

[@edfinnegan2634]

Marvel has made Galactus a joke. Everyone and his dog has beaten him. Whenever the writers want to show how serious things are or how powerful a new enemy is Galatus gets shit-kicked.

Galactus, Terminus, Shaper Of Worlds, Kubik, In-betweener, are just some of the cosmic entities that are just on a different level. I don't applaud what some characters have done to Galactus. Except for probably the Beyonder.
Beyonder is the only character who's truly defeated him. I except that.

[@michaelkantner6420]

Oh YEAH!! Galactus is the SHIT!! Fernando, Thor may be your boy, but Galactus is MY BOY!! Galactus is the balance between Death and Eternity, so he's a natural force that can't be defeated or destroyed. But this Galactus is from another universe, so first off, how did he get to the Ultimates universe, and what about the Galactus from THIS universe? Is there going to be some sort of cosmic battle between the two Galactus's? What about the Living Tribunal? Is he gonna step in and state "There is a cosmic imbalance and I have to maintain balance and order! Therefore, the invader MUST be sent back to his original universe!" Then all hell breaks loose, (I hope! 😁)

Considering Galactus IS his cosmic powers, you're essentially just erasing him from existence. The funny part I'd, his machinery and tech still wreck the whole verse.

[@VanTesla]

Even if it was Galan before he became the world eater. He probably beat all the Titans easily. He was one of the only at time non eternal entities/Mortal to survive the prior erasure/big bang. He was both physically and mentally powerful before he was Galactus and only became stronger.
This guy was trying and not getting slaughtered by the full power of the Phoenix prior to having the Power Cosmic. Mind, he has been written poorly lately and has been a sad punching bag in worse cases. Still, his greatest feats, if not ignored, show with or without the Power Cosmic he isn't to be simply trifle with.
