Riddle me this...
The Asgardian Destroyer was created "to fight for Earth should danger threaten!!" (that's Thor saying this in The Mighty Thor #118, and in this whole issue, there's no mention -- not the slightest hint -- of any "Celestials"😉.
How come he wasn't awakened, then, the first time Galactus came to Earth?
The Real Answer, of course, is that early in Marvel's history, everything wasn't all that well thought out.
I'm hoping for a reponse that's a little more interesting.

To use the Destroyer, Thor would have needed Odin's permission .... and it would have revealed the existence of the Destroyer to the Celestials.
That plus it usually creates more trouble than it solves.

But the "Celestials" were never mentioned specifically. Plus, there are other things Thor says which implies a more generalized threat, eg, how the Destroyer was built to destroy "the first thing it sees." There were opportunities for Thor to drop names, but he didn't.
But maybe ... Thor didn't know what this "threat" was called. They were so powerful that Odin never called them by name as Thor was growing up, for fear that even saying "Celestial" would catch their attention.
And maybe Odin knew the Watcher would intervene, the FF would prevail, and so there was no need to wake up the Big D.
Ah, comics. lamo
Can someone tell me about the ALE (Anti Life Equation) and is it canon or another Universe? Is it still being used? Reason I ask is because I checked the dates for some of the comics regarding it and they range from 70s (?) to 97 and such. I know most of that is just that Darkseid is looking for it and hasn't found it out yet, but I read on what he did with it and I find it hard to believe that that was canon.

So what about the idea that he created a new world (or universe, correct me on that one) and he changed everyone roles and such and made himself a burly white guy. I think thats the Mister Miracle series or something like that?
Also, how is it used to a lesser degree if it even beats his own OE? He just uses it when he needs to or what? Also this sentient being...it lets him use it's power or it has no power to stop him (being a force).
