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 .
