Galactus

[Norman Osborn]

...been reading (and enjoying immensely) the new Marvel Event Annihilation and I've got a question that bugs the crap out of me....(bugs..lol..unintended pun)

I stopped reading Silver Surfer many many many (well you get the point...I'm old) years ago. My memory of the character and his relationship with Galactus is spotty at best. ..what I do seem to remember is that SS would seek out uninhabitable worlds for Galactus to devour and that he turned on Galactus when he tried to devour earth..... but I don't remember SS ever believing that Galactus was a "Natural Part of the Universe"...or in SS's own words "Galactus must feed, such is the way of "

or per AirWalker "Galactus is because he must be "

I guess my question is whether or not it's been confirmed in print that Galactus is indeed a required/necessary, nonetheless brutal part of the Universe.....or are The Nova Corps correct in their view that he's simply a Universal threat and should be exterminated if possible?

 

[The Question]

Some people in the MU theorise that Galactus is a natural force of destruction in the universe, just as Marvel's version of Death (woman/skeliton in a purple cloak who Thanos is always trying to bang) is the natural force of death. However, this is just a theory. Others simply see Galactus as a very powerful creature who eats worlds. Silver Surfer, most likely, feels that Galactus is a natural force, but doesn't need to commit mass murder to sustain his diet of planets.

It seems like he's made peace with Galactus. What do other people think?

Kirby's Big G is still classic.

 

[Silicon Surfer]

Galactus has been portrayed as the personification of the concept of a races fitness to survive. In time he comes to each world and if that world can find a way to survive him then they earn the right to survive.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

He's also been potrayed as the Harbringer of the end of all that is, to bring all things to the End, just as his universe died. I think Galactus exists for that purpose, just as he was told he would be when he was reborn.
