Against Galactus....?

Not even Pre-Crisis has a chance. But...

Pre-Crisis Superman was a genius of the highest order. If he encountered Galactus and found that he couldn't defeat him, he'd fly back in time and prepare a super-weapon of some sorts with which he would be able to do it.

Sounds stupid, but it's the kinda stuff that he could do easily...
