He's not an abstract, regardless of his importance or how other abstracts perceive him. He's an alien who wears purple armor and flies around in a space ship eating planets for sustenance. He has a hairline. He's balding.
He's abstract in position, power, and importance.

This is also wrong. He's been shown bleeding before. He's been shown having a skull/skeletal structure. The writers are all over the place with this guy.PS When was the last time he was considered the balancing force between Death/Eternity? Because it seems the writers at Marvel have dropped that idea.
that is just people ****ing up and even that can be reconciled with his anture. humans just make up an image of a him bleeding because that is something they can understand unlike the energy process of his wounds
BRB cracked his armor and did no real damage and when did he bleed btw?
the abraxas story arc established his role in the maintenance fo the universe and it has been repeated throughout pretty much every single SS appearence ever since, including annihilation, his last miniseries and IINM this current asgardian arc as well.

oh I remember it now. artist wanted to show him being wounded and conveyd it that way, since his established image is that of the armor wearing giant, but it's sloppy work though. when T&A beat him, he did not bleed at all.
When Thanos knocked him on his ass, his helmet came off and there was a physical being underneath that armor. How else could you explain what happened? Abstracts don't 'fall' and they don't "wear" armor/costumes.

Originally posted by paladiusIf you ignore the context the what's the point about anything ?
galactus is getting his as wooped way too many times by people like thor , thanos, zeus ... yeah i know there is context behind all of those but still thats lame, anyway no way in hell he is abstract he is elder god -cosmic level thats it thats all
Originally posted by paladiusGalactus s highly dependent on energy so yes it goes with his entire history as a character and his power fluctuates from early on. I don't care if you have never been impressed but your logic states a loss is a loss and screw context it doesn't matter if you've lost enough.
i already mentioned the context but the fact remains the same in no way in hell an abstract would go down like this even with that given context , galactus is not an abstract judging by the actual showings and the fact he is hurt and bleeding he is between elder god and cosmic level thats all i was never impressed with him actually

This look like an "abstract" to you?
You're missing the point of the "lower level beings perceive him in ways they can comprehend because he is incomprehensible to them"
In that panel you could say that Thanos saw him as a weakened guy with broken armor, because that's what Thanos perceived him as. Or you could apply that same logic to the reader, rather than Thanos. Either way makes sense.
Any time anyone sees him, any time anyone sees him hurt, that is because that's what their inferior brains/eyes are processing/expect.
