Who can beat Galactus?

So wait, Galan, from the previous universe, became one with Eternity of the previous universe during the death/big crunch of that universe, being housed inside of a "cosmic egg". During the Big Bang of the current 616, this Cosmic Egg which Galactus was inside of gestating, is expelled and ends up in a solar system somewhere out there (according to the original story). In original continuity, Galactus emerges from his egg/gestation chamber after millions of years and then sets about creating his Armor and Taa II in the solar system he hatched in. Then later it is added to his story that Galactus was active back before the Elder Gods and other concepts not part of the Cosmic Compass (that being Death, Eternity, Infinity, Oblivion, and I suppose Order and Chaos and Mephisto for some reason) were conceived of and the Proemial Gods (Tenebrous and Co) existed as a kind of cosmic place holder until the rest of the universe took form.

Now, with this new thing with the Asgardians finding and planting a "Galactus Seed", is this the seed/egg that will, upon the death/Big Crunch of the 616, be the vessel for 616 Eternity and whichever being it is from this universe that becomes Galactus in the new universe, or is it something else entirely?

Thor #3. It doesn't specifically say that Galactus came after the tree, but it does say he came after the seed for the tree was planted.

The first stage of acceptance is denial. Deep breath, guys. It will be alright.

Cosmic fans the world over are all on suicide watch.

In THOR #619 Odin says that he was present when his father planted the seed/egg which created the World Tree.

Galactus succeeded this event.

Odin seemed to be present during the previous cycle before the entity Galactus emerged.

I have no doubt that such a revelation will ruffle a few feathers. We can wait until the arc ends or Fraction makes a statement explaining the entire thing to conclusively end the discussion.

Squirrel Girl can beat Galactus and has fought him before

In THOR 619, Odin explains that his family existed in the "Time-Before-Time"... in the "dying days of the Long-Now that ended with the birth of everything." (Translation: the end of the previous universe)

Bor found the seed within a fissure in time-space. When he planted the seed, it gave rise to the World Tree which ended the "Long-Now" (previous universe), and created the Nine Worlds.

In MIGHTY THOR #3, the Silver Surfer says that the seed is an artifact from the "Time-Before-Time" (referencing Bor's era) and that it predates everyone.

When the Surfer leaves, Odin tells Thor that the seed survives the destruction of each universe, and then regurgitates that energy to create a new universe; a new World Tree; a new Galactus. The seed maintains that cycle.

Take from that what you will.

So, like I said, this 'Galactus seed' is now supposed to be the vessel that the current 616 Eternity and whatever being it is that will become the next universe's Galactus will be contained within to gestate after the Big Crunch, and the current Galactus, who was Galan, hatched from this same apparently recycled egg in the previous cycle that predates the current universe. Somewhere intermingled in all this, apparently, the Asgardian Gods existed at some time in the previous universe as well as in the current, which would be odd because I thought the existence of sentient life gave rise to the Gods. How are they going to explain that one. And where do those beings that kept Ragnarok going and were eventually killed by Thor fit into this?

No one considers the Elder God retcon when writing a story anymore. The notion that Asgardians were created by man and not vise versa is not something I see referenced anymore. Not in the Thor issues at least. The angle was quickly forgotten even in the Thor title.

We'll see what Fraction's take is on all this either in Thor or Fear Itself but five gets you ten, Odin and his ilk were old before man came into existence was created by the All Father.

Pretty much what he said. The Cosmic/World Tree Seed is what will cause this Universe to end and in turn give birth to the new Galactus.

Odin seemed to be present during the previous cycle before the entity Galactus emerged.

When the run's over, I'm just going to pretend it never happened. For now, I'll just try my best to enjoy it. I've already dropped the title, I can't do anything else. Except going through with my plan to kill him. I was only going to end him if the result of the Surfer/Thor confrontation favored the bald and glinting bastard but it doesn't matter anymore.
