Oh and just to clear this up forever, Annihilus never tanked Galactus' blast head on. That's a myth. The only thing about the scene that's up for debate is whether or not he was trying to get away from the blast, or was flying towards it when it happened. But what's not for debate is that he was shielded.
Galactus lifting up the containers that Annihilus was using to siphon the power cosmic.
Annihilus looks at this, realizes what's happening and (bottom left panel)
holy shit, I'd better get the phuck outta here! Flying away with the golden protective hue of guess what...The Q-bands!
Looks on from a far...
Meanwhile, nearby
Crawls out from the rubble, guess what? Protected with the golden hue of the Q-bands...
Holy shit, well whudda ya know, we ended up right next to each other. Guess this was fate.
So yeah, no. He never tanked that blast head on unshielded. If he gets to use the weakened excuse, so does Rider, since he's the one that was battered and bruised by the amped Annihilus, yet still pulled it out. No pun intended 😛

I can't understand the excuse for the bug. They both tanked it with shields on. And Annihilus getting gutted is not a good feat is ridiculous. They both took on the blast. They then fight with the bug still having his amp(Qbands). Annihilus is already above Rich in power to begin with. How the fuk is that not a high feat? Yes it was good battle sense, but no one just lets himself get gutted. Minus the Qbands Annihilus still has his cosmic control rod. Sigh...
