Galactus w/un vs An infinite

I don't know what it takes to take down an infinite.

I can't assume that the UN can do it.

Galactus would lose. The infinites were multiversal. They handled eternity. They win

Galactus "always gets the UN" because it's now canon that the UN is an aspect of- that is a physical PART of galactus. It's not an entirely separate object.

comparing it to Thanos with the gauntlet is a bad comparison since Thanos didn't create the gems. He was only one of many users and doesn't currently have access to it.

As for how often he uses it: how often does the flash simply IMP every opponent to death? Why is superman constantly "holding back" his true strength? Why doesn't black bolt simply "scream" his opponents to atoms? Why doesn't Thor use the Godforce blast at every opportunity? Why doesn't Dr. Strange call on the full power of Eternity or the Vishanti every time he has a problem?

besides the obvious "it makes for shitty stories if they do" its out of character for most of these individuals to use their most powerful attack on everything. They're "last resort" techniques.

edit: it's also worth noting that the UN "handled" multi-eternity as well, when it destroyed the marvel multiverse.

I guess Galactus also gets his Worldship in every thread too! No whay!

He gets it in this thread.

I don't think he needs it though.

You don't think he needs the UN to defeat an Infinite?

Or was your response towards the Worldship?

I responded as if he always gets it? False. I hate that people think he should always have it in every battle.

I don't think he needs the UN to defeat an Infinite. They weren't impressive.

Eternity using all of his power, managed to barely overpower a finger of an Infinite...
I don't see Galactus as being able to do much if anything to one.

Eternity jobs a heck of alot as well. The Infinites seemed to lack any sort of omnisciences and 1 had to kill himself just to recreate a planet.

Can you post scans or anything of them killing themselves to create a planet, as I don't recall this?

He essentially became the planet.

Also, he said other spheres... there's like galaxies of planets, and if they operate outside the multiverse, then there's no telling how many planets they have fudged up that he has sacrificed himself to save.

I think they have potential if expanded upon. But from what we've seen I'd place them right around cosmic compass level.

In the scan,
the Infinite states "...in sacrificing my life essence, I can bring new life to this sphere... and the others."
For all we know that could be planets or galaxies he's talking about.

Could be.

I compare it, because how many instances has Galactus actually USED the UN. Batman for example actually goes into his cave and grabs stuff for usage...
Blackbolt has plenty of instances of "screaming" usually against foes hulklike because BB knows they can take it.
Superman constantly holding back? and yet constantly unleashes his full against.. darkseid.. doomsday.. Konvict.. Imperiex... There are a LOT of showings of him not holding back. Thor also... against mangog in the mouth, Perrikus, destroyer, celestials, etc.

Dr. Strange doesn't call on the full power of Eternity, because he knows he wouldn't be given it. Unlike other heroes, Dr. Stranges asks permission for use of each power of his in each scenario... But has shown that he can use the powers of the Vishanti, Dormammu, Infinity, Eternity, etc on more than one occasion. Hell on many. IE, Hulk, IG crisis, going to mephistos realm,.

And as far as Last resort techniques. When Galactus was getting manhandled by Abraxas, he did not summon the UN, the FF4 went and got it. Against foes like Tenebrous and A.. whatever.. he didn't use it. Thanos with CC, IG, HOTI.

As for the IMP punch, I dislike its use as much as I dislike Galactus with the UN. Or Superman's T-vo. Or the advent of hypertime. What I am tired of is if you say, Galactus vs. So and so.... they turn back with, Galactus gets the UN, he wins. Well... he's never used it. Heck his fires are too big to fire the trigger! 😛

BTW. I cannot remember even 1 instance where Galactus fires the UN. Not one. There could be, but I don't remember it. Since anyone that uses the UN is supposed to die by it. And even galactus fears the UN.

You may have a possible stalemate where Galactus kills the Infinite by firing the UN. :-/

Galactus used the UN against Korvac.

Also, Galactus wouldn't destroy the universe as he seeks it balance. Destroying the universe was the only way to beat Abraxas.

And Galactus didn't die? Weak! That negates the whole, "its like soooo the only thing I fear" (valley girl accent) story.

I don't remember galactus using it against him though. hrm.

Its on my respect thread. You want the scan?

Galactus has the UN here. Arguing whether he's ever used it or not is pointless.

why not. everyone pretty much says galactus with the un wins.
