We were already discussing him, so we might as well talk about Galactus. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby with the idea that he needed to be unlike any other villain before him. This is when they decided to make him God-like. He feeds off of living planets simply for their energy. He does not care who lives on these planets and ultimately finds them all at random or they are found for him. Yet Galactus was not always the “eater of worlds.”
He was actually a space explorer named Galan who gained cosmic abilities when he passed a star. What might be missed from this is that Galan also lived in the previous universe that existed before the Big Bang. When Galan’s universe died off, he merged with the sentience of the universe to become Galactus. The power he wields is so great, he MUST drain planets to continue existing. Usually, heralds help him find the best living planets and he could have multiple in use at one time.
