Galactus

The fictional character Galactus may be found in American comic books produced by Marvel Comics. He was formerly a mortal man, but now he is a cosmic being that draws life energy from planets and plays a crucial part in maintaining the main Marvel continuity. He was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, and in Fantastic Four #48 from March 1966, he made his debut.

Lee and Kirby wanted to establish a villain that was different from the stereotype of the typical bad guy. Galactus was originally portrayed as a god-like creature who acted without regard for human morality or judgment and was fueled by sapping the energy from live planets.

Galactus, who was formerly a pretty ordinary person called Galan, gained godlike abilities after his world was destroyed and transformed into the Devourer of Worlds, a creature created to endure the death and rebirth of galaxies via the Big Bang and Big Crunch. Galactus is extremely resistant to injury, although he does need to eat planets for nutrition and is susceptible to death.

Galactus frequently appears in evil roles because of his destructive propensity, although on rare occasions, like as when he switched from being the Devourer to the Lifebringer, he is presented in a more heroic light.
