#ComicBytes: Greatest powers of MCU's next probable villain, Galactus
What's the story
He is a cosmic entity who existed even before the Big Bang. With limitless power and the ability to devour entire worlds just to satiate his hunger, Galactus is as bad as it gets.
Since Marvel Cinematic Universe is done and dusted (pun intended) with Thanos, he could very well be the next major villain.
Here are the best superpowers of Galactus.
Incomprehensible
He cannot be fully comprehended by mere mortals
Given that he is such a powerful entity who can decimate entire worlds in seconds, it is a surprise that he looks so silly in his purple suit. Turns out, it's the readers' fault.
The thing is, Galactus is a force of nature and a cosmic entity so powerful that mere mortals can't comprehend his true form.
He appears different to different people.
Energy
He can manipulate all forms of energy
Galactus has full control over all forms of energy and once destroyed multiple solar systems with his energy discharges.
If you are wondering where this energy comes from, it is from the planets he eats.
He can also control molecules around him and create entire sentient beings from nothing, using them as his heralds.
He can also bestow different powers upon others.
Manipulating Life
A literal God who can create, preserve, and destroy
He can create lifeforms and preserve them for his own benefit, for example, Nova and Silver Surfer. He can also destroy them at his will.
Galactus can't really die and in case he ever does (like in the Infinity Gauntlet storyline), he can resurrect himself.
In another version he stopped consuming life and instead started emitting it, thus becoming an entirely new entity.
Mangalactus
Galactus' manga version is as Japanese as can be
For the uninitiated, Marvel has its own Mangaverse that takes inspiration from Japanese Manga. It ran from 2000-2002 and then from 2005-2006.
This universe's Spider-Man is a ninja who trained with the Spider clan.
Galactus, in this world, is a living planet looking like a tentacle monster with a giant eye who actually eats planets, as opposed to the classic draining their lifeforce.
Boundless
His powers cannot be measured
If he becomes the next MCU villain, it will be extremely tough to defeat him because of his boundless power.
He has God-level strength, stamina, and despite his large size, speed, he can fly, teleport, create force-fields, transmute matter, and can read others' minds.
He has a genius-level intellect, far superior to humans and can also alter people's memories, control their souls.
