Galactus at 1% VS Silver Surfer

Kirby intended for Galactus to be above Odin and the "mythological" figures.

Pulled from wiki (a quote which I myself put into the article)

[T]hey were figures that have never been used before in comics. They were above mythic figures, and of course, they were the first gods.[

referring to Galactus and his creation, SS. Note that Kirby already created Thor and Odin prior to Galactus and SS.

The Godblast is a really an early "feat" in Galactus' history. That chit happened more than 40 years ago, and hasn't happened since. That's not to say that it's to be dismissed, but 40 years ago Galactus wasn't as powerful, important, or hell didn't even have the same origin as he does now.

Case in point, he called Ego the Living Planet the most powerful opponent he ever faced in that same godblast issue. Clearly...that's no longer the case, as G's power has increased accordingly.

look at this quote

The Marvel Universe versions of the gods of most earthly religions, excepting Christianity, Islam and Judaism, are not cosmic in the traditional sense, although the strongest of them, such as Atum can rival or exceed the power of certain cosmic beings, as can the most powerful demons or independent mystic entities such as Zom, Dormammu, Shuma-Gorath, Mephisto, Chthon, or the Vishanti

he brought up a quote also why did you only facepalm me 😬

Maybe because his quote has a bit higher credibility then yours, unless yours are also from a interview with Jack Kirby.

The thing is CB, as I see it, the facepalm was a reaction to you using a quote from a unknown source to invalidate a quote from Jack Kirby.

No I'm wondering why he can get run-off by Thor's Godblast if even at next to no power he can bust a Galaxy. Maybe its more of a matter of PIS than CIS.

look at this quote

The quote I supplied is from Jack Kirby. I put that into the Galactus article.

The content you gave is from a wiki editor named David A who has admitted in the past to writing totally fallacious entries, puts edits in from memory without research, and has compared fans of Galactus to followers of Hitler.

No joke.

That should tell you the source of that POS entry that you just gave. No offense to you of course.

WTH? Are you joking around or are you serious? Because if you are serious that guy needs to check into a mental hospital, sheesh.

But after reading that Kirby quote I'm a little relieved. Galactus most definitely is above a skyfather.

how did you know that? anyway i didnt know

I know because this particular guy has tried to impose his biased view on the Galactus article for the better part of 2 years. I log on every couple of months to see and then it just becomes a whole process of editing, arguing, etc. And when I say "biased" i don't mean the bias that people here on KMC accuse other people of being. I mean that this guy has flat out said he does not like Galactus because the character validates the nihilism and machiavellian principles of Adolf Hitler, and that any fans of the character therefore agree with such principles.

So no, I am not making it up, and this guy def has an agenda, which is why I know where that edit comes from.

Anyway I dont want to derail the thread further.

G @ 1%...who knows what that is. The weakest he has been recently is in Beta Ray Bill: Godhunter when he was still feeling the after-affects of annihilation and BRB started blowing up the planets he was about to feed on. In that story a space armada was said to be likely able to kill him. That being said, Stardust and SS were insufficient to stop that armada.

P.S. If any of you guys are interested...here is where I got that entire quote from

documentary with an interview with Jack Kirby...not just about Galactus but his other creations from Marvel and DC. About how creating Galactus inspired him to make characters like the New Gods, etc.
