StrawmanJobbing is consistent low showings, mack.
Well then, that rules out Galactus as being a jobber, as he doesn't have consistent low showings, he's got showings where he's been moved apparently... and three where he's been beaten by lesser heroes.

Doesn't matter how they did it because they should not have been able too even make him stagger. The only exception is maybe with tech. Furthermore he's taken more damage without flinching, damage that is far above anything they can throw [Going into stars]. Furthermore Galactus has cosmic awareness, how the heck does he get surprised? Bottom line is Galactus is written down for the heroes to win.
Says what? Besides, one was with Galactus's own tech, and the other was lifting up a 20 ton being when you're a 100 or so tonner (not counting when the Avengers/FF/Strange fought him). It wasn't staggering.
Because he's not paying attention, and thus doesn't care.
He was normal powered when he entered the star, and he was being moved when he was on the ground, and when he wasn't ready. He was flying when he entered the star. As well as a star not being so impressive... Surfer flies through stars, Drax has been flown through stars (and has ripped out the core of a small sun), Thor has been in the core of the sun, Surfer has been hit by a Nova, Superman has been hit by a nova... etc.
He's weakened, not written down. And the heroes don't win... and that's the problem.

He was fine as he wasn't knocked down, has nothing to do with him being hurt. If he can stand without flinching in the core why can he not stand Thanos blast? If it's nova prove it.
You can't win a fight by knocking someone down... you can win a fight by hurting someone though. Which is why knocking anyone down means almost nothing at all.
The fact that Thanos can cause Surfer the most pain he's ever felt as a spirit, when Surfer has taken a nova in his first appearance is enough in itself. He was able to take out Thor with eyeblasts, when Thor has walked, talked, and fought in the sun.

Red herring, Kryptonite ain't got jack to do with what I said. Are you saying that surprise can cause a being who can walk in to a star without flinching can be knocked down by attacks with far less damage?
Kryptonite would be Superman's weakness. Which is about as relevant as bringing up Galactus being weakened.
Apparently it can, as blasts work differently in comics. And the star wasn't throwing Galactus's own tech at him, and trying to lift him.

We do not count low showings, but a character who has as much lows a Big G does not have as much credibility as a character who does not have much low showings.
He doesn't have that many low showings though, and we don't count pis on the forum (which would be every time he's weakened).

If by move you mean while he's flat on his arse are staggering in awkward positions then okay. 🙂He's been smacked by: FF on his first appearance, on Byrnes run of FF, he stalemated Sentry, was smacked by Rachael, knocked down by Thanos and maxed out on Thnaos shield, Cloned and said clone was stated to be more powerful than the original only to lose. . .More than twice.
Yes. He wasn't hurt in any of them.
He's been knocked down by Thing throwing Galactus's machine at him while he was trying to arm it.
He had his foot lifted by Thing after Thing was punching him to no effect, and Galactus was trying to crush Surfer.
He stalemated Sentry according to Spider-Man, and is in no way definitive proof. It could have been a one-panel fight for all you know. And Sentry hasn't shown the power to even touch the weakest Galactus we've seen in comics.
How the hell is Rachel even being brought up? She's the f*cking Phoenix. You might as well go a step higher, and tell of how Galactus was beaten by Thanos with the IG.
He only got knocked down... again, not hurt. And maxing out of Thanos's shield made no sense at all. At least the others have explanations.
Even saying Omega was more powerful than Galactus... he was only said as such on his ship, and he had heavily slowed reactions.
As well as it only being statements.

You used it to rule something out that I said...
Certainly seems like you used it as the definition.

Unless it has to do with battles.
Evidently it hasn't, so what's the point there?
OK.
Anyway, can you finally answer this question:
How can one be a jobber when your good showings heavily outweigh your bad ones?

Sure if Hulk constantly loses to army ants considering that's what the people who Galactus get's smacked around by should be to him.
He does though. He gets knocked around by people with human level strength when he's supposed to be the strongest character in comics.

Agree'd. 🙂Supes is the most inconsistent character in comics.
😐
I see this is pointless then.
