Marvel Comic’sGalactusis one of the magnanimous , baddest ,   antagonists   to   ever peril major planet globe . He made his introduction in 1966 in the three - part history ofFantastic Four # 48 - 50,commonly know as " The Galactus Trilogy"which may be one of the most crucial and influential level arcs in the history of Comic books . Despite being commonly thought of as a villain , Marvel ’s jovial purple giant is n’t in reality a bad guy rope . Galactus does n’t guttle planets out of malice , he does it becausehe is a fundamental component of the universe itselfand all the Earth that he consumes are destined to become fuel to make the next universe .   This does beg   one enquiry however - why would a cosmic god essential to the equalizer of reality look like a human wearing purple armour ? The response is   simple- that ’s not what Galactus actually looks like .

As an nonobjective being , project outhow the physical body of Galactus works is a difficult task , but someone ’s got to do it . InFantastic Four # 262writer John Byrne decided to at last   explain the   understanding behind Galactus ' humanoid design . The issue , titled"The Trial of Reed Richards"is about Mr. Fantastic and the rest of his mob being nail by   the Shi’ar Empire for the crime of   having previously saved   Galactus ' life inFantastic Four # 244 . Since Galactus was feared throughout the world for destroying planets , the Shi’ar blamed Mr. Fantastic for allow   Galactus to continue living .

preside over the trial were   other cosmic beings including Thor ’s father Odin ,   Uatu the Watcher and even the writer John Byrne himself . Suddenly , in the centre of the tryout , Galactus himself makes an appearance , and it ’s revealed that each of the dozens of alien race attending the trial perceived   the devourer of world   differently .

This reveal is splendid because it helps emphasize the otherworldly nature of Galactus and how he is more than just an foreign , but a divine being and a sheer force of nature . The rest of the number was dedicate to Galactus pleading his innocence and come to the Department of Defense of Reed , defending him as a good and ethical manwho would even befriend the devourer of worldly concern . The trial run of Mr. Fantastic in conclusion comes to an endwhen Eternity , another abstract beingand " chum " to Galactus   is summoned to   defend Galactus ' right to exist .

Eternity determine to partake the " cosmic truth " with the mortals gathered at the test , and in one legal brief , instant every living being is made aware of the universal oneness of all organism . This moment is enough to convince the Shi’ar that Galactus ' mien is crucial to the survival of the creation , and both he and   Mr. Fantastic   are both acquitted . Galactusmay not have made his debut in the MCU yetbut   thanks to Eternity and Mr. Fantastic the people of the Marvel universe now see how importantGalactusis to maintain the balance of the cosmos .
