Galactus and Heralds respect thread. · Comic Book 'Respect' Forum

Describes their battle as "rocking the heavens and shaking the very firmament of the universe" (obvious hyperbole but still neat). Also info on how powerful Asteroth is:

Vs. Bill again (not really fighting back, Bill's attacks don't hurt him as he's just pleading to get him to listen):

"You cannot defeat me. I am a cosmic entity. No physical force you can deliver will make me more than pause. You cannot destroy this body, just as I cannot stop Asteroth on my own."

Asteroth is pretty much defeated now:

Along with Redshift, manages to temporarily hold off the power of Annihilus' weapon which uses power drawn directly from Galactus:

See how he survived the Galactus weapon (Redshift might have survived, we don't know). Also he says he can regenerate from a billion pieces.

Moves at lightspeed and then faster than light:

Stardust fights and easily defeats the last survivors of his own race, the Ethereals:

He then absorbs their scattered life - forces into himself (only to feed them to Galactus later)

I already posted these in the Superman respect thread, but they do kind of belong in this thread as well.

So here ya go!

The Kryptonian... Herald of Galactus:

Adding the power cosmic to Superman's power, made him the second most powerful being in existence.

Not one world in ALL creation would be safe from him:

The Proemial gods were beings created at the dawn of the universe to balance different forces in it. Aegis and Tenebrous were two of them. When they realized their time was over, one of them called Diableri rejected his fate, and several others joined with him.

Diableri challenged Galactus, and was killed by him, and Tenebrous and Aegis were imprisoned.

Here it says about the original Galactus vs. Aegis and Tenebrous fight that Galactus was caught off - guard and unprepared, and that's why he lost.

Yeah, feed by slaughtering entire civilizations and consuming entire worlds.

THe bacteria on the food I eat aren't sentient.

Where do you think pork, beef, and all those other foods come from? Unless you want to tell me that a cow, or pig is not sentient.

I never really cared for Galactus much, my views changed.

Endless Mike Sqirrel Girl fanboy

No, cows and pigs are not sentient. The only sentient beings currently known to science are humans (also various extinct species of protohumans like Cro - Magnons and Neanderthals).

Because I'm bored, I'm going to go off on some other shit. 🙂

Yes, the sentience debate is missing the point--one may or may not believe in a "soul", but everyone must believe in consciousness (experiential, cognitive, self-actualization... not that Marxist stuff). Almost all human beings experience consciousness in the same way. Most of us agree upon the terms of time that we have constructed. Seconds. Minutes. Hours. Days. Some might say that there are cultures that do not record time, which this true, but I think we can all agree that a minute in New York is just as long as a minute in a jungle in Sumatra.

Now then, animals, of course, such as cows, pigs, reptlies etc experience time much differently. Still however, they are sentient beings. For an animal like a snake, the temporal spectrum is much more compressed. In essence, their rate of experience is faster than ours--so fast there is little opportunity for a culture to grow. If the present is always a moving train and we're all passengers, then for a cobra, that train is traveling much faster, and there's not enough time for it to sit down in the dining car and think about its situation. Too many other concerns.

But while a cobra might not be self-aware in the same way I am, we are both capable of making decisions in our lives (sentience); I just have the privilege (or course) of having more things to decide on. When the decisions aren't so easy, that's when I start thinking... and typing panegyrics like this. I have the time to reflect, a prairie dog does not.

I know that I exist, some primates display self-actualizing behaviors as well, and we usually think of "animals" as sentient--but do you remember when you were in utero? I doubt it. It wasn't that you didn't have the ability to remember--that ability just wasn't developed yet. You were in a different level of awareness, and you were sentient though. You weren't conscious of it to your current degree, you were just a seed that had not sprouted. Dare I say, if your "life" ended then, it wouldn't concern you now. To go further off into it, spiritually some agree that when we die, we transcend this 'human consciousness experience' we are currently having now--as a culture, as human- we would still be 'evolving' our actualization in heaven or our afterlife. Much like the progression of going from the womb to adulthood. Research is going on to ensure not merely the advancement of science, but the furtherance of knowledge of human experience as well.

That, and such research could prove fruitful in developing penile extension devices so I can walk around like a horse, even if I can't experience the world like one.

Bang.

That's instinct, not sentience. Humans do not develop their minds to conscious awareness until they are at least 1 year old

Ethereal KMC Herald

Sentience is the ability to sense. It is separate from, and not dependent on aspects of consciousness. Whether your processes are instinctive or not, you're still sentient.

Sapience would be the better term that you're talking about. As in making judgments and all that. Humans are Sapient, bacteria isn't. look up Metacognition.

You're using a different definition from the one I am

Oh ya, forgot all about this little gem...
"The Last Galactus Story"
This happens 100 million years in the future. Not a What-If, not a different universe, just in the far future.

Explains about Galactus's massive ship.

Now that Reed, and his "friends" from Earth are dead, the ancient oath is off.

He goes down to Earth, and destroys it with a mere gesture.

Shows his control. He seperates a city (a massive one), from the destruction, becuse Nova wanted him to.

Now, about the foe in this one:
He was massively powerful. He had laid waste to like half the universe.

He (foe), created a black hole big enough to swallow the galaxy.

There are more, and better feats (like arranging millions of stars in a net shape), but this is about Galactus... so:
Galactus travels faster than light, and thought to his foe.

And the extremely powerful enemy is:

The Watcher that let him get away, when he was being made.
Now, the Watcher was pretty damn powerful then (maybe too powerful), he has feats that put him even above Celestials, etc.

The story was never finished, but we do know for a fact, that Galactus beats him. We also know that their fight destroyed...
Meh, this is the evidence (explains Galactus's real role).

Then I highly suggest you look this over.

Sentience is the capacity for basic consciousness — the ability to feel or perceive, not necessarily including the faculty of self-awareness. The word sentient is often confused with the word sapient, which can connotate knowledge, higher consciousness, or apperception. The root of the confusion is that the word conscious has a number of different meanings in English. (One can easily distinguish the two by looking at their Latin roots: sentire, "to feel"; and sapere, "to know".)

Galactus decimates a Watcher, when he was releasing his attack that took out three star systems (this was probably posted, but like I did, it was overlooked).
Middle part:

Didn't Uatu say he was as powerful as Galactus?
Ha!
Oh, and thanks very much to all the people that have contributed to this thread. 🙂

DarkCrawler KABOOOOM!!

Remember this scan, when people use it to say that Galactus almost gets KOed... ya...

Well, to correct you, nobody really claims that he was almost KOed to my information...the sheer fact that he got toppled is already a big enough feat.
