Presented at HQS, Galactus was created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirbybecoming one of Marvel Comics’s classic villains, appearing not only in the stories of the fantastic quartet, but also in the stories of the heavenly, Avengers and X-Men, since it first came on the pages of “Fantastic Four Vol 1 #48” , released in 1966.

Galactus comes from a place that is no longer alive. It turns out that he was born as Galan on a planet full of technology and peace called Taa, which existed in a universe prior to the present. This world has come to an end, in a phenomenon described as “Big Crunch”, a cataclysm where the universe contracts in a singularity known as “cosmic egg.”

However, Galan, who was a space explorer, managed to survive to be protected by the Phoenix force. Now inhabiting a new universe, known as Earth-616, Galan has become a cosmic being formed by pure energy and full of impressive skills, such as recreating worlds, resurrecting beings, opening portals to other dimensions, and even manipulating gravity.

For this, he has the help of various heralds – among them, the silver surfer – who helped him explore the best worlds.
