Darth Nihilus

Started by Nikkolas11 pages

Nihilus has nothing in common with Galactus.

They're both just hungry.

Also Galactus uses technology to eat planets.

Nihilus is not from another universe.

He's not making Heralds.

He's not wearing a stupid looking helmet.

Not if your talking about galactus in the movies or gah lak tus Both of them have their own powerfields. Strangely enough the cosmic cloud in the movie whom many people think is galactus himself is his power field which can destroy a planet in a matter of seconds

Actually the galactus from MUA is pure badass and looks incredible compared to his comic counterpart. Talk about having black armour in stead of purple

Ahahhaha! 2 consecutive contradictory statements, I lol'd. 😆

Right, because it's not like they both drain planets, or share the exact same nickname.

Nihilus and Galactus are alike only because they can drain planets, but they do it in a different way. Galactus eats the life of the planet, Nihilus rips the force from it's inhabitants and feeds on the death it causes. Galactus serves a greater purpose and is necessary to the universe, Nihilus isn't.

That's a pretty sketchy difference.

About the Herald issue, I read somewhere that Nihilus gave his sith assassins the ability to drain the force from others like he himself could do, so could anyone confirm if this is true or not, because if it's true, that's another similarity between him and Galactus.

Nothing in common...

Good to see you agree with me.

Devourer and Ravager are pretty common names. Hell, the vampire Kain can gain that title in his first game. And he has nothing to do with eating planets.

Nihilus and Galactus aren't any more alike than you and I are because we both breathe.

Don't be ridiculous.

He was being sarcastic.

And both of them do very similar things, they drain planets on their ship and both of them share the same nickname. Galactus has 3 nicknames while nihilus has 1. And the one nihilus has is identical to the one galactus has in his 3 nicknames

Where is Nihilus' nickname said, anyway?

And their eating planets is not anything alike as one uses technology primarily and the other uses the Force. Also one kills every living inhabitant on the planet to feed himself and gain power while Galactus eats the actual planet's energy.

There's BARELY a similarity between the two and going further into explaining how they're totally different is pointless.

Before I respond directly to your points Nikkolas, I just want to make it clear that anything I say about Nihilus is based on what I've heard from others, so if any of it is wrong, that's the reason, and my bad.

You're failing to see the bigger picture here Nikkolas (the part of your post that I italicized makes that clear), which is that they both share the exact same nickname (which, by the way, in case you didn't notice, Kain doesn't; you missed out the 'of worlds', not that it matters really, just pointing out a tiny mistake there) on top of a number of other similarities.

You're entitled to your opinion, however the fact that they both drain planets, grant a fraction of their power to their disciples to carry out their bidding, as well as share the exact same alias leads me to believe that Nihilus' character was largely inspired by that of Galactus, but that's just me...

Again there are several incarnations of galactus
. Ultimate galactus doesnt rely on technology neither does the movie galactus

There is apparantly. Both drain planets at a range in their ships and nihilus could drain the force out of a planet as well as the comic depicted mountains and land going haywire as what happens when galactus drains a planet as well

Wasn't his nickname the destroyer of worlds?

nihilus is the ravager of worlds. Galactus is either the ravager of worlds, the devourer of worlds or simply the destroyer

Jobberlactus is known by many titles.

Best one being Restorer of Worlds. 😛

One thing I would like to point out is that Nihilus does not give his servants a fraction of his power(Sith Assassins). What Nihilus does is similar, but on a larger scale and with training they could actually learn how to do it. More proof is that the Sith Assassins that follow Sion have the same ability, if Nihilus gave them that power what are they doing with Sion?

Force drain?

I guess that's right. Nihilus just has an uber force drain ability...that's it. He is just really really really good with the force. I never thought of it that way. that doesn't make him as good as I thought...that would explain his defeat by the exile.

No. What I said was is that Nihilus and the Sith Assassins do something similar, but on a different scale. And Nihilus' technique is NOT force drain, his move rips the force from living things and he feeds on the death it causes. He TKed his ship, the Ravenger, that's pretty uber.

Well sidious Tked a super star destroyer which is 19 times the size and length on the ravager and yoda could do no less.

However the special technique he has is pretty scary and seems that he isnt the only one who has it as DESB stated sidious had the same technique when he drained byss.

So far violent you have made the most logical thing that his attack isnt a stupid force drain as the majority thinks it is. We should all thank you for this 🙂
