Shuma Gorath has decided to once again try and invade the Marvel Universe . Franklin Richards(adult), being the noble spirit that he is , decides to take on Shuma Gorath , in a battle that takes place in :
1. 616-Universe
2. Shuma's Realm
For Round-1 , both parties must rely on their own personal power .
For Round-2 , Franklin is allowed to amp off his younger self's power , and/or summon (a well-nourished)Galactus . In this round , Shuma Gorath is allowed to use the hordes of demons at his command ,beyond his own personal power , but that is it .
BFR is off in both rounds , and battle is to death in second round .
People don't understand just how powerful Franklin is. As a child, he ROCKED an amped Mephisto in his realm. An unamped Mephisto went toe to toe against Galactus in his realm with the spill over energy wrecking 616 reality. What's worse, Galactus was unable to beat Mephisto without resorting to devouring Mephisto's Hell. Child Franklin ONE shotted Mephisto in hell.
Franklin Richards is beyond ANY demon (Set, Chthon, Zom, etc...).

IMHO it wouldn't make a difference. The Galactus that Mephisto fought was a normal, non weakened, non starving Galactus and he could not put Mephisto down in his realm, he had to resort to devouring Mephisto's hell. Child Franklin ONE SHOTTED him and even before that severely wounded an AMPED Mephisto.
Prior to Hickman's take on Galactus, I don't EVER recall him devouring multiple planets to get multiple power ups or whatever it was.
No demon is a match for Franklin.

Are you sure ? IMO , both Galactus and Franklin seemed to be equals in Hickman's fight , although you could make a case for Franklin having been weakened prior to the confrontation w/ the Mad Celestials , due to the strain of holding the whole multiverse from collapsing into a single time-stream(which it eventually did) , and then expending more power to save both Valeria and himself from the Revision Wave .
But still , do you really think that Galactus(fed on 4 planets as he was in F4#600) couldn't one-shot Mephisto in his realm the way Franklin did ?

No, I'm just saying it's not fair to use Hickman's Galactus and speculate on what might have happened back in his throwdown with Mephisto. To my knowledge Galactus never amped off multiple planets and grew in power exponentially (or whatever) depending on how many planets he ate back to back.
Mephisto fought a non starving, weakened, or otherwise impaired Galactus to a standstill. Yet Child Franklin rocked an amped Mephisto and then ONE SHOTTED a "normal" Mephisto. Franklin wrecked him so bad he was torn into six pieces and needed help to regain his full power.

Why wouldn't it be fair ? I was merely pointing out that if Galactus had been as well-fed as he was in F4#600 , he too could have beaten Mephisto like kid Franklin did . But yeah , I agree its speculation either way , so I'll let it stay at that .
Btw , was it explicitly mentioned that Galactus was non-starving or even non-hungry in his battle with Mephisto ?
As for this thread that I made , I think that Franklin wins , although I don't know about many feats of Gorath , and most of what I know is limited to the Sise-Neg incident and the one in which Strange's re-entry into the universe threatened to destroy galaxies , and its largely based off of second hand sources .
If anyone can produce some feats which trump what Franklin has done , I'll gladly change my opinion .

I'll admit that in this case it was the Surfer who suggested him to do it(feeding on Mephisto's realm) , but nevertheless Galactus does declare that "The Great Hunger is once more me ! It must be sated" . (please log in to view the image)
This was after the prolonged fight with Mephisto, of course he'd be hungry. This happened with the IB fight too. After the fight was over he demanded Nova find him a world to feast on.
Before he confronted Mephisto there was no indication or statements from him or the narrator that he was hungry or weakened in any way.

Yeah it was a combined effort but that energy Doc absorbed came from Shuma, his dimension, & his servants. Kaluus' statement wasn't in reference to just Shumas power.
Kaluu was referring specifically to the energies that were absorbed from Shuma-Gorath that would cause the unspecific number of galaxies to be destroyed, not energy from anywhere or anyone else.
