Galactus Vs The Council Of Skyfathers

Fact: Galactus was occupied with Odin in a telepathic battle. Let me know the moment you think you have to add the stipulation that in this fight, Galactus will stand there and allow TP to be engaged before he lifts a finger in offense.

Fact : Galactus full concentration went into that TP stalemate with Odin. So much so that Thor cracked him upside the head and Galactus screamed in pain. If Thor was distracted by the SS, I'm betting Odin and Thor could have taken Galactus out. Now imagine Odin with 10 other Skyfathers. Galactus has no chance in hell.

And? A Chaos King amped Zeus unleashed the full might of Zeus' power and it STILL couldn't put down a hungry Galactus. You want to start cherry picking feats, I can do the same all day.

LOL @ you using Galactus in Chaos War as any kind of good showing for him. I guess when you're a Galactus fan, you scape the bottom of the barrel for whatever you can get.

I don't think Galactus was hungry during Chaos War. He wasn't well fed either though.

Ares also specifically says that they need to stop Zeus before he unleashes his true power against Galactus. Perhaps that was in reference to the lightning bolt.

Whatever, the gap between Galactus and Skyfather level entities is obviously not nearly as big as some pretended.

IIRC it was stated Galactus was hungry due to the event of Thanos Imperative.

Curious, where was this? I don't remember a single mention in either the comics or interviews.

The Surfer stated that they teleported Galactus right before he could feed which is the reason why I don't think he's well fed or anything but I don't take that to mean that he's hungry either. I don't know why people have to go from one extreme to the other with Galactus all the time. When he's hungry/weakened or powered up/rejuvenated writers almost always go out of there way to make it clear as far as I can tell. Sometimes Galactus just is.

Alright, I'll check it out but I'll be shocked if it's true. I don't remember reading or hearing about this which is surprising as around that time, excuses for Galactus were pouring in like they usually do in these situations.

Are you sure you're not confusing this with Galactus' post Chaos War state?

Reason I think Galactus is >> Skyfathers is that as per TI Galactus at critically low levels was able to wipe out a Galaxy, something that's generally considered the premium test of a High Skyfather in terms of raw power.

I just don't see a badly weakened Odin busting a Galaxy, less still Zeus or the other Skyfathers without Odin's laundry list of high end feats.

I'll be honest i may be wrong, but as i dont care if he was or wasnt hungry...the only reason seem to remeber something being said was the suprise that Marvel remembered some continuity with Imperative/Chaos War.

I'll mostly be surprised because Pak doesn't like Galactus very much. Sure he gives him a decent portrayal in terms of power levels but he constantly has him getting punked. Throwing Galactus a bone, especially when he's supposed to a measuring stick for his new pets, the Olympians would be unusual.

I'll check it out. Gimme a sec.

I don't think Galactus was tapping into his own personal energy reserves. I'm still really confused why people are so adamant he didn't use those canisters. Why else have them radiating around him while Annihilus screams about the Power Cosmic being his? I know Galactus needs a good showing to salvage whatever he has of his rep but it doesn't make any sense to me personally.

Also, that's not the best reason. Take one of Odin's higher end portrayals and Galaxy busting even when weakened is something I can definitely see happening.

Im torn on the Herlad my rage blast as to wheather hes hungry or not. Like you said you see all the cosmic power cannisters floating around him, but doesnt Galactus say he is still to weak to engage T&A after the blast?

After the blast he was still weakened IIRC, which is why in my opinion, the most logical conclusion is that he used the canisters as the fuel for that herald my rage blast. That energy had to go somewhere, and it wasn't into rejuvenating Galactus.

They were radiating around him after he broke out, suddenly they're gone and Galactus begins to charge up the attack.

Just enough to get him above the "Me so hungry" levels IMO

Well, IIRC, he was pretty damaged when he got out, then after the canisters he was back to his normal suit.
So, I'd say he absorbed the power, however, it wasn't as much as the energy of a planet that he gets when he eats one

Just enough to get him above the "Me so hungry" levels IMO

Why would you say that? I'm curious didn't the canisters contain pure Power Cosmic or whatever mined from a planet using Galactus? Galactus did looked pretty restored -there was a minor crack or two in that one panel we see him- in comparison to the mess that he was while being captive but my gut feeling is that he invested more of their power into the blast than himself.

Whatever, I can live with your interpretation. I remember people outright refusing to acknowledge the canisters being used in any manner which I don't really understand.

Normally when Galactus feeds it's because he is hungry, so I don't quite follow your line of logic there.

Galactus also states that No mere Skyfather should survive the blast he used against Zeus, or Ares could simply be refering to the Chaos King about to pop out any second.

Not granted, The gap between Odin and Galactus is not as being as some suspected, the gap beyond that is still speculation imo.

That's a fair point but normally when Galactus is weakened or hungry it's made pretty clear, no? From what I know of Pak and how I've seen Galactus handled, I personally doubt that the World Eater was intended to be weakened. If for no reason other than he likes Zeus and isn't to keen on Galactus in comparison. We won't know for certain one way or the other unless Pak makes a comment.

Not exactly. Galactus said "No mere Skyfather can so easily shrug off my power."

That has very different implications. Possibly but Ares was referring to Zeus' true power.

Not sure what you mean here.

The thing I noticed about Galactus is that whenever he faces beings who are cosmic in nature, he seems to be doing well.But when he faces beings that are magical in nature, he seems to be having a hard time.People are using the Galactus Vs Mephisto fight as to show how powerful Galactus is when Mephisto himself got stomped by Atum/Demogorge.And Mephisto was with other Hell lords at that time.Mephisto battled Satannish to a stalemate, though I believe Satannish had the upper hand in that encounter but it was broken up by Mephista and Dr Strange.And Satannish was revealed to be created by Dormammu.And Dormammu is regarded being equal to the likes of Zeus and Odin.Then in TI, we have Galactus able to hold off his cancerverse counterpart Galactus Engine while other Celestials ran away from it.

Point is that maybe Magic is Galactus's weakness.One can say Superman is more powerful than Batman.But Batman has that handy Kryptonite with him that is Superman's weakness.

Just my opinion people.
