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.

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Intelligence: Vastly Superhuman. Holds a high degree of cosmic awareness.

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Weaknesses: Galactus needs to feed on planets to sustain himself, if he goes for more than a month without eating a planet, he will grow weak and eventually die. He tends to ignore weaker beings, so it's possible to set up a trap and surprise him without his notice. | None notable

<p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Notable Attacks/Techniques: <p style="font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Key: Starving | Moderately Fed | Well-Fed | With The Ultimate Nullifier | The Lifebringer
 * Planetary consumption: When Galactus finds a planet with the proper energies for him to feed on, he uses his elemental converter (which makes the process more efficient) and absorbs the energy from the planet, usually killing all life on the surface and causing the planet to explode, while giving himmassive amounts of power.
 * Realm consumption: He uses his power to absorb pocket universes. Apparently, this is not as efficient as eating planets, since he doesn't rely on this as a source of energy.
 * Summoning: Can summon "cosmic demons", which were powerful enough to cause the Asgardians trouble.
 * Ultimate Nullifier: Galactus can use the UN to destroy nearly anything, and he is a master of its use, so (unlike most lesser beings), he does not destroy himself as well when using it. When it is not currently in his possession, he can summon it to himself at will. It can still be used against him, however.
