Thank you. I am glad someone read it and appreciated it. So many threads here have made me want to say all of that about Galactus.

The thing with Galactus is that he is an old-school all-powerful type of character. The writers then wanted a storyline with an immense and inscrutable power.But in the years since other writers have written storylines where they want their own versions of reality changing all-powerful beings (Parallex, Phoenix Force, etc.). And the new ones have more contemporary styles etc. So one way of making a new all-powerful being is to make it seem even more powerful than the old ones.
I like the old FF/Silver Surfer stories involving Galactus personally. I like the interpretation of Galactus offered back then and the sense of awe he inspired. So despite the new characters, I interpret Galactus in the spirit in which he was created, which may make him seem too powerful when compared to more recent stories.
I don't think many beings should be able to defeat Galactus. When he is defeated it is due to an extraordinary storyline in which extreme extreme underdogs somehow show a resilience of spirit (the human hero spirit) or where a cosmic event happens that can change the very nature of reality (e.g. the Infinity Gauntlet). I don't think the existence of these types of stories should be taken to mean that Galactus is a weak cosmic entity compared to other such beings. It's just that the original spirit of Galactus has been lost with stories of varying quality over the years.
Well said.

umm, physically Hulk can be ALOT stronger than Galactus, if he gets mad enough. Galactus has a ceiling to his strength, Hulk doesn't.
Originally posted by masterbruceNope!
fool, my statement was correct. If Jean shuts off Banner and then Hulk sees Galactus decapitating Betty, Hulk would oneshot Galactus so hard that he'll vomit all the planets he ever ate.THat's a fact.

i think we're talking about galactus as he is usually shown
Galactus's power level has been all over the place recently. So to be fair, I would take Galactus at his best and compare him to others at their best (barring any one time power-ups or special comic events of course).
