Fantastic Four: Marvel's Newest Cosmic Threat Just RIPPED Galactus' Armor Off Galactus, the devourer of worlds, has repeatedly posed a monumental threat to the Marvel Universe. This massive force of nature is nearly insurmountable in terms of sheer cosmic power. Recently, however, the "antithesis" of Galactus used an immense amount of power to return the cosmic giant to his original, powerless state. This earlier incarnation of Earth was a highly advanced civilization, of which Galan was its chief scientific explorer, much like Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. Unfortunately, Taa, along with the rest of the universe, was doomed within Galan's lifetime. Due to the multiversal renewal cycle, during which the universe was destroyed and then reborn, Taa was plunging towards its end. Galan was sent out into the universe to find a way to save Taa, but he found nothing. Ultimately, taking a few survivors from his home world, Galan ventured Fantastic Four: Coming of Galactus! towards the "cosmic egg", the center to which the universe was inevitably plunging. Everyone on the expedition died except for Galan, who was imbued with great power. In fact, Galan Fantastic Four: Coming of Galactus! with the sentience of the multiverse itself. Surviving the multiversal renewal cycle, Galan was reborn as Galactus, a cosmic behemoth with immense power. So great is his power that Galactus needs to consume entire planets to satiate his hunger. Galactus is usually accompanied by a herald, who is sent out to find a planet for his master to consume. Suddenly, a tear in the fabric separating the universe from its antimatter counterpart, the Negative Zone, rips open. Emerging from this tear comes a horrifying creature, referred to as Galactus' "antithesis. Almost immediately, Galactus and Antithesis begin to fight, leaving the Surfer shocked to see someone able to combat his master. Even more shocking, however, is how quickly Antithesis gains the upper hand. Antithesis Fantastic Four: Coming of Galactus! swiftly banishes Galan from the universe, tossing him into the Fantastic Four: Coming of Galactus! Zone. This display of power is startling, to say the least. Considering Galactus' godlike cosmic power, Antithesis' handling of the world devourer is truly impressive. Yet it also makes sense that Antithesis is able to deal with Galactus so easily. For one thing, Antithesis is the antimatter counterpart to Galactus, possessing abilities that mirror the cosmic Fantastic Four: Coming of Galactus!. It's apparent that this includes energy absorption and manipulation, similarly to how Galactus consumes energy from planets. Later on in this issue, Anithesis feeds others with his own energy, demonstrating the scope of his power cosmic, which is at least comparable to Galactus' power. If Antithesis is able to feed a great deal of energy into planets full of sentient beings, it's no surprise that he can also drain a being such as Galactus of his own energy. Additionally, being from the Negative Zone, Antithesis naturally serves as an opposing force to Galactus. Considering how antimatter easily destroys anything from the positive matter universe, Anithesis, by nature of being Galactus' antimatter counterpart, should be Fantastic Four: Coming of Galactus! natural deterrent for the world devourer. Antithesis is, very literally, the antithesis to Galactus himself. While Galactus is an all-powerful, world-devouring force in the universe, Antithesis is at least as dangerous and even more merciless than his positive matter counterpart.

Fantastic Four Epic Collection Vol. 3: The Coming of Galactus by Stan Lee Brief Summary: Maximus fires his Atmo-Gun with the intent to destroy the human race.

For all of his mad genius, however, Maximus' plan fails. Aside from a Fantastic Four: Coming of Galactus! massive ground tremors, humanity is perfectly safe. Gorgon and Karnak make a move to apprehend Maximus, but he darts past them and heads towards his Atmo-Gun.

While soaring through the Andromeda Galaxy, he draws the attention of the Skrulls. The Skrulls know that wherever the Silver Surfer appears, his master, Galactus, cannot be far behind. Terrified, the Skrulls do everything they can to conceal their world Fantastic Four: Coming of Galactus! the Surfer's perceptions. In New York, the Fantastic Four arrive home to witness a most startling spectacle. The entire skyline appears as if it had caught on fire. The Human Torch flies through the city canyons to get a closer look, but panicking New Yorkers begin to suspect that the Torch may actually be responsible for the strange phenomena. The FF return to the Baxter Building and Reed sequesters himself inside of his laboratory to analyze the situation. The flames in the sky dissipate giving way to an unending field of space debris. The powerful being known as the Watcher appears inside of Reed's laboratory. He explains that he is responsible for the atmospheric disturbances, for he has been attempting to conceal Earth's existence from the attention of the Silver Surfer. He further explains that the Surfer is the advance scout of Galactus, a powerful cosmic being that consumes the elemental energies of entire worlds, leaving them as little more than dried, lifeless husks. The Surfer meanwhile, investigates the debris field, and finds Earth hidden beneath it. He flies to the roof of the Fantastic Four: Coming of Galactus! Building and sends out a cosmic signal for Galactus. The FF race to the top of the building, and the Thing rams into the Surfer knocking him off the edge. The Surfer is no longer a major concern however. In the sky above, Galactus' planet devouring world ship, Taa II, appears in the skies above Manhattan.
