Example, when Darkseid absorbed Zeus...

I KNOW he is more powerful than this slim Darkseid even though the comic ended with buff Darkseid...

Skinny Darkseid have better fts than buff Darkseid "in that comic" but buff Darkseid is more powerful. Skinny Darkseid had a better showing against Wonder Woman than buff Darkseid did but buff Darkseid is still more powerful. This is my argument. Even though (in that specific comic) buff Darkseid did nothing but stand there at the end of the issue, him absorbing Zeus is proof that he is more powerful than slim Darkseid even though slim Darkseid (in that comic) had better showings. 🙂
Your argument goes against this so my goal is to prove that Galactus goal was to become more powerful and he did become more powerful than his average self. You can post all of the fts you want, my entire goal in this BZ is to just prove that this version of Galactus>regular Galactus.
