Because character potential, and character feats are two completely different things.As far as these threads are concerned, what Galactus has the potential to do is quite meaningless if he's never actually done so. And in terms of feats, the only time he might have been able to eat Marvel was during the BCA (when he was altered.)
Also Galactus doesn't have a limit to the amount of energy he can consume, the only thing that stops him is himself. Which is again why I say you are wrong when you say the only reason he was going to be able to consume the universe was because of Tiamut.
It's pretty obvious that Galactus could do this on his own since the only thing Tiamut changed was Galactus hunger and nothing else.
Originally posted by MindsetBut the potential I was referring to, is unrealized potential - so it's quite meaningless in a debate. That was the point of my last post.
You saying he was only able to do something because of the alteration contradicts your statement that he has the potential to do it on his own.
Originally posted by MindsetExcept the only time Galactus may have actually been able to do so on panel (which is all that really matters) is when his hunger was increased by Tiamut. I'm not going to debate what he might be able to do on his own, though.

Meh, whatevs..
Originally posted by Galan007I wasn't trying to use it in a debate, I just don't see how you didn't think those two posts were contrary to each other. He can't both have the potential to do it on his on and only be able to do it because of alteration. That doesn't make sense.

But I'm sure if Mr M responds he'll post a shit ton of scans that have nothing to do with this particular debate.... So there's always that to look forward to. ermm
It's a possibility that Galactus could absorb the whole universe because he never actually did it, but it's a fact the Galactus has the power to reproduce what was actually shown in the arc because nothing about his power was changed only his appetite, which has no bearing over his power.
Originally posted by MindsetEhh, his hunger was geometrically increased. That has everything to do with the 'feat' in question.

However, it's a moot point any way you cut it.

Too powerful imo. I mean Shazam took him to the distance and the only reason he didn't win was because of the whole magic thing which won't aid him against Galactus.
Shazam didnt win because the specter is basically the hand of god and eats skyfathers for breakfast. Shazam never had a chance. Although he put up a good fight considering he just fought mordu earlier.
