Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
i'm not sure what we're debating here. if your sole claim is that the ship is capable of giving power to alter the universe in a pretty meaningless, subtle way, sure, i guess it gave him that. if you want to label that 'universal power,' again, go nuts. i hope you're not saying though that just because you've never seen the exact phrasing you're clinging to used in relation to galactus, that it means he's INCAPABLE of the same feat korvac pulled. g is a cosmic -- cosmics play a ROLE in the universe -- they're not likely to go around altering it. anytime someone alters reality, he/she is altering the universe. bottomline -- korvac used the power he had to hide and shield himself, a feat duplicated exactly by the keeper. korvac became a cosmic with his stolen power. he could alter the universe in some small fashion. is that the whole point of this?
ultimately the most telling thing about the power korvac stole happens in gotg, when krugarr (the future dr strange) captures the child-korvac (who had all of korvac's power that he stole from galactus) in a simple magical sphere and brings him to galactus where he and the power are less than nothing. galactus then reabsorbs his stolen power back. simple as that. the regained power was meaningless to galactus who simply comtinued on his way after regaining it as though it were nothing. so now he HAS korvac's power + his own. so you've STILL never seen on-panel someone say galactus is altering the universe, but, is it safe NOW to say galactus could pretty easily do so, whenever he wanted to? and probably a lot more dramatically than korvac ever did . . .
again, if hiding yourself and being unable to USE your power without getting caught is a display of 'universal power', it isn't much of one, and it certainly didn't impress galactus.

I hate to burst your bubble, but technically we've never seen Galactus at "full power".
Even during SW I (where these scans are from), it was made very clear that after Big G absorbed his World Ship, he was going to absorb the Planets/Stars around him incase he would have to do battle the Beyonder.
So if Galactus was going to continue absorbing Planets/Stars after he devoured his World Ship, he clearly wasn't at "full power".
So Doom clearly didn't absorb the "full power" of Galactus.
This scan is after Doom stole Beyonder's power.
They have no relevance to your argument.
It would take a little more than a blink.
Again, that was not Galactus at "full power".
