In both the regular and even the what if scenarios, one thing is agreed on.Galactus apparently cannot survive the destruction of the universe. Both times that Richards asked him...he backed off.
Canon 616
Galactus never asserted he couldn't survive the end of the Universe,
his fear is of the UN itself, which can nullify him,
although, that in itself would collapse everything anyways.
Still, Galactus can survive the end of the Universe,
he did so already in the future, when one end of the Universe came about.

The mere mention of the destruction of it is enough to deter him. [/B]
What if's aren't non-canon,
they're actually situated in a Universe withIN the prime Marvel Multiverse.
(they're diverge alternate mirrors of 616)
The difference is, that although they are copies of 616,
since they diverged/split from 616, they are instead alternate realities.
But really, the only alternate reality is that history has taken a different path,
but it involves the same exact characters,
with the same exact power-set as the one's from 616,
only seen from two separate perspectives.
Originally Reed with the UN made Galactus concede,
then, a split in time-space took place, another identical 616 Universe popped into existence,
this 616 copy shares every detail with the original 616 up until that point it split,
then it takes on a history of its own.
So in 616 Galactus concedes, in the 616 copy, SS takes the UN away from Reed,
Galactus pwns everyone, including disintegrating Uatu.
Grant it, many What ifs are retarded.
* edit * ... and I don't ever use them, or condone it,
I was actually trying to make a point.
Originally posted by Avlon With that said, in the What if...another interesting incident happens...
Reed is holding the UN and gets OWNED by Surfer...meaning that wielding it does not make you invincible nor does it grant you protection in any way.
Reed isn't Galactus. 🙂
