That was the point the Galactus gun siphoned energy from planets which Annihilis was turning to make a universal bomb. the only way to stop it was to release Galactus 馃槢
And the weapon could not simply be hijacked or dismantled. Thanos built the device from Galactus's very own technology and included safeguards manifested as some very nasty boobytraps. This was stated in Annihilation #5.

If he first has to siphon energy from planets than it might as well be useless in a direct fight.Even then, Henshaw could just take over the tech and use it himself.
It could Siphon energy from AM 馃槚hifty:
And they also had the Harvester of Sorrows another planet destroying weapon.
Originally posted by AcrosurgeWhat that is what I said he was taking in energy to cause a universal explosion.

Originally posted by NewjakPerhaps it is semantics, but Annihilus was looking for the biological application of the Power Cosmic, in essence, to funnel as much of the PC as possible to do his bidding. To do this, he went right for the source, Galactus. Thanos's rig (built from Galactus's own technology) allowed him to access Galactus's PC while still keeping Galactus weak. In essence, the strength of the weapon was not dependent upon Galactus consuming planets. Galactus's hunger was merely the method of containment.
That what he did to the planet. Wasn't he using Galactus' own hunger as a weapon basically?
Originally posted by AcrosurgePretty much his hunger was the weapon he just used it on a planet and it destroyed it but he also wanted to destroy all of the Universe. I think it was to please Death or something.

Originally posted by Newjak@_@ Right, don't be misleading. The Power Cosmic was the weapon. The Hunger was merely the method of containment/control.

Look at it this way. Galactus's hunger does not destroy planets. Galactus's hunger motivates him to destroy planets with the Power Cosmic (supplimented by technological devices when available to stave off the next feeding).
Thirdly, Annihilus says that he knows death, but he wanted to destroy the universe because he wants to be the only thing living. That does not please Death, according to the Thanos mini.
Sorry folks, way off topic here. Just trying to clear up some misconceptions.
Originally posted by AcrosurgeOk I'm sure no one thought ti was just Galactus' hunger that was destroying planets it doesn't take much to know that Power Cosmic was involved. There is nothing misleading about it. It's common sense.

And I think you are right about the last one. About being the only person left hmm
