This thread makes me sad.

He represents, here and there, dead and alive, basically everything that has opposites. I don't think He is really abstract though.

But there are things with no concept that are still abstract. Galactus for instance, is abstract. But he has no difinitive concept, so he appears differently to different races of people in the universe. The same is said of the maggedon. It has no DIFINITIVE concept as it apears differently to difffent beings. None the less, it is abstract.
Galactus isn't an abstract, but he does represent something.

Galactus repensents (sp?) the third great force in the universe (Eternity, Death and Galactus)

Galactus represents Destruction. Like in the DC endless. Destruction is needed in the universe so that new life can sping up.

Galactus doesn't destroy for pleasure.(nice try though)
He has to eat to keep the balance between Death and Eternity.

galactus represents the balance of life and death eternity and his sister, just like inbetweener represents the balance of order and chaos

Rubbish. Galactus neither embodies or has significant control over any force of the universe or aspect of reality. Chaos and order, for example, are essential forces/aspects of the universe. Galactus is not.

Actually he is correct, but Galactus is still not an abstract, at full power though, he has the powers of an abstract.

Plus, Galactus is needed to balance things out, plus he needs to keep Abraxus in check.

Man, it seems every post involving DC heavyweights ends up talking about Darkseid ...

Takion's actual purpose was to cure The Source of the madness that infected it after Darrkseid let Orion kill him in it. Highfather breifly came back i n JKFW#19 basically on his own merits, after Takion went into the Source and asked him to. That Wikipedia entry is wrong.

Highfather and Darkseid as not abstracts. In fact, Highfather, Darkseid, Dr. Fate (who's beaten present day Mordru), Etrigan, and Orion combined were not as powerful as an abstract:

Odin wins the majority, though Mordru gives him a tough fight.

Man, I can't believe I forgot to check in on this thread after I replied.

It seems the issue has been put to rest more or less. Those who get it, get it, those who don't...don't...i suppose.

I did want to point out though that Galactus is most certainly NOT an abstract. He's a mortal being (Galan) that was given a horrendous amount of power when the old universe changed into this one. He doesn't have a physical form per se (it's been established he's simply energy in a containment suit) but he can most certainly be killed, and the universe will replace him eventually.

At one point it was suggested that he was on par with Death or Eternity as a prime force of the universe, but subsequent retcons have rendered that invalid, I guess.
