For my second Super-Villain
blog I am analyzing Galactus. Galactus is a Marvel Comics Villain who is known
for eating entire planets. Galactus appears to be several thousand miles tall,
and obviously has a BIG appetite. Galactus sends his heralds to planets in
advance in order to ensure that it is suitable to eat, then Galactus comes
around and devours the planets life force, thus killing everything on the
planet. Galactus is honestly the most powerful force in the entire Marvel
universe, and is more powerful than most of the DC universe heroes (excluding
Dr. Fate, Superman, etc). Galactus has many ties to Romantic values because of
his sheer power.
Galactus is a force of
Nature! He is not a Demi-God who just eats planets in his past time. Galactus
is a force of Nature that destroys planets, and consumes energy to become more
powerful. His power alone shows that Nature is the most powerful thing in the
universe, which is an obvious Romantic ideal. Nature in this case is an entity
meant to consume planets. Galactus also shows another Romantic ideal based on
how the people of earth react to him trying to consume their planet. Galactus
caused mass chaos on Earth, and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes were barley able to
fight him off. This shows that
Humans are weak compared to the power of nature, and eventually all humans will
erode away, and the only thing left will be nature. In the comic “Earth-616”
Galactus says:
“No living thing dares ignore my call. For I am that which
has always been, since this Universe was birthed from the
ashes of the last. I am the hunger that dooms worlds. I am he who
is beyond such frail Concepts as
good and evil. I am Galactus.”
This Quote from Galactus shows
that he is a force that should not be reckoned with. Galactus's Infinite Hunger drives him to probably be one of the deadliest villain in both the Marvel and DC universes. He will come eventually to
all planets in the universe, and he will devour every single one.
