On Galactus:

There have been alot of "Who would win in a fight, Galactus or..."

I read tons of old Silver Surfer Comics and came across an interesting bit of information on Galactus.

He has been around since before the universe was created, and somehow he's tied into the creation of THIS multiverse. I've also learned that, if Galactus were killed, the universe would go up with him because he's so closely tied with it. This doesn't make sense, because he IS dead now, isn't he? What's going on here?

Not to mention, no one would be able to beat him without beating themselves as well.

Just wondering if there was more information about it.

Uh, Galactus isn't dead. He was killed once, but it took this:
n the Galactus: The Devourer limited series (1999-2000), Galactus was killed after a battle against the united forces of the Avengers, Fantastic Four, Starjammers, the Shi'ar Empire and an armada of other united planets (including even a Kree starship). He died with an ominous warning that his death would allow a great evil to surface. After his death, Galactus' true form was revealed, that of a star.

That great evil emerged in Fantastic Four Annual 2001 in the form of Abraxas, an entity that was the antithesis of Eternity. It was revealed that most of the energy that Galactus takes from planets was devoted to keeping him imprisoned. If released Abraxas would destroy the universe... but eventuaily Galactus will devour the universe... so it's just a slower process. Abraxas was only defeated after it was revealed in Fantastic Four (vol. 2) #49 ([vol. 1] #478; January 2002) that Galactus was still alive. Roma, Franklin Richards, and Valeria Von Doom had been incubating Galactus within Eternity.

Yeah, he is very closely tied to the Big Bang. He's supposed to bring the slow end of the universe, even though he's not too happy about it . Here's a good quote about how he feels.
* "Of all the creatures in the vastness of the universe, there is none like me. I was present at the birth of the universe, and I shall be there at its end. Though I ravage worlds to live, I bear no malice to any living thing. I simply do what I must to survive. And why must Galactus survive? For, no matter how many worlds I devour... How many civilizations I destroy... It is my destiny to one day give back to the universe — infinitely more than I have ever taken from it. So speaks Galactus!"

--Galactus, The Origin of Galactus

Once he passes on, and the entire universe has ended, a new one will begin, because he will start the big bang, and his current herald at the time will become the new Galactus. His powers are immeasurable, but he is supposed to be on par with Death and Eternity, who are his siblings. Of course, he's the only one of the three that has fluctuating power levels.

That.... is...... AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Darn right it is. He is quite literally the be all and end all of the Universe. His power is literally incomprehensible.

Yes he is! Is there more information on him? I love Galactus and need to know all I CAN!

Wikipedia has a great article on him.
