Reed Richards finally rolls up Galactus alone after almost 60 years
Although in recent years Marvel Comics has shown that Galactus is much more complex than a tacky doll who wears a rotten skirt and likes to eat earth and water in obscene quantities, his current and important status quo as a “necessary evil” for evolution of the iterations of the Marvel Universe does not prevent it from remaining the Fantastic Four's greatest rival. And now, after almost 60 years, Reed Richards has finally found a way to put an end to the Eater of Worlds.
Since he debuted in 1966, in Fantastic Four #48, Galactus has been one of the greatest threats in the Marvel Universe due to his infinite munchies that are only satisfied momentarily after consuming several planets — I'm thinking about the indigestion he would get from eating humans, as well as an antacid for heartburn and a colossal sewage system to release feces. And more: what does he do with so much energy besides bothering others?
Well, in Fantastic Four: Antithesis, recently released, the plot takes place in a place very far from Earth. An enemy called Antithesis vampirizes Galactus, who loses the Power Cosmic, energy that gives the giant all his titanic power. With the Eater of Worlds weakened, the Fantastic Four show up to save the day and imprison the bad-name villain in the Negative Zone.
And then... in a surprising maneuver, instead of returning the Power Cosmic to Galactus, Reed Richards absorbs all the energy and becomes the new Eater of Worlds — something that would possibly corrupt most human beings.
How does Richards bone Galactus?
And it is precisely the fear that Reed will lose his mind that is the Fantastic Four's biggest concern. Here comes Mister Fantastic's solution, who takes advantage of the new form to process the answers to questions that have disturbed his soft body all this time.
For those who don't know or remember, Galactus appeared in the 1960s to be the ultimate reference for villainy in the Marvel Universe. Then Casa das Ideias decides to introduce the worst artifact in its repertoire: the Total Nullifier, which looks like a little radio with an appendage bought in second-hand stores — such a ridiculous thing that it disappeared and no one knows to this day what exactly it did.
The so-called Total Nullifier was the Devourer of Worlds' most powerful weakness, enough for him to be cadelized immediately. Since then, Galactus has been defeated in other ways throughout his history by a variety of heroes, but has always returned. However, the villain has become increasingly palpable to the audience, although his plans to continue the program there are quite boring.
This time, to defeat Galactus, Reed simply gives a glutton his greatest punishment: hunger. Mister Fantastic went to extreme lengths to put an end to his greatest enemy. The hero sacrificed himself by not eating all the Earths. It is worth remembering that this is not a story confirmed in the official chronology.
