This is the Pre crisis Supes who blow/sneezed out a sun/solar system and could travel across the universe with such blinding speed that it took the spectre to stop him from travailing into heaven itself.
If pre crisis superman just has amped up powers then he is still only a mortal and exists on a few levels below galactus. galactus would snuff him out the moment he became a threat.
however, comics have been tinkering with characters in order to make story lines more interesting. so i'm not sure if galactus is galactus anymore.
I mean superman with a ton of power is still superman as far as cosmic entities are concerned. it doesn't matter if he has no power, regular power or a million year sunbath. he still exists well bellow them.
there are 11 dimensions according to physicists. we, as is superman, are aware of only 4 of them. beings like galactus and what not live in all 11. Imagine Bruce Lee fighting Helen Keller, it wouldn't matter how much Helen Keller trains or if she has brass knuckles on, Bruce would still win. sorry I got a tad off track there.
"Very easily"?........I don't think so, other far less powerful characters have found a way to defeat big G, And pre crisis Supes was also far more intelligent than current Supes and was a whiz at using strategy to defaeat a lot of his foe's.
I have no problem with Galactus winning this, But not so easily.
He loses because he is suppose to be a force of nature. he gets hungry. he finds a planet and he eats it. if the planet puts up enough of a fight G will go find someplace else to eat. or if he is tricked into nearly starving. but a regular G, for some reason being forced to fight to the death with superman is something entirely different.
In a forum battle where pis taken aside? Galactus...
In a comic... Superman..

Huh? If anything Galactus has been making a comeback of sorts.
Galaxy wiping power while near death and starving? Check.
Resurrecting yourself after being wiped out by 5 Cosmic Containment Units (the very same things that were merging TWO universes)? Check.
Going toe to toe for an extended period of time, against a machine that made the Celestials and Teneberous flee and killed Aegis? Check.
There's probably more going on with him but I'm drawing a blank. Oh and there's the possibility he's going to humiliate a high end skyfather soon.

Hmm seems like they stopped making Big G the proving ground character for great heroes/villains and is actually having him live up to his role. HURRAH I CAN PICK UP STORYLINES WITH HIM INVOLVED AND NOT SHAKE MY HEAD IN DISAPPOINTMENT ANYMORE!
