As the "devourer of worlds", Galactus hunger is LEGENDARY. Hell, even after feasting on the life energy of a planet, he's STILL been hungry. Considering his power is at its height when fully fed, this could be a problem were he to go without for too long. So I was wondering:

Has there ever been a time Galactus was "fully satisfied" by a meal, and if so... does anyone have any scans or proof for how long it lasted?

Also...

On average, how often does Galactus HAVE to eat planets?

  • I remember watching this in an Animated series as well.. but there, Galactus is trapped in the negative zone by the Avegers ans Fantastic-4 where he would never have the need to be fed again.

It's happened (briefly) on at least one occasion in The Silver Surfer – The Ultimate Cosmic Experience (1978).

Galactus had eaten several worlds in quick succession and was happy to take a breather. Suffice to say, it doesn't last long and he's back to his old ways before the end of the serial.

And who, of course, could forget the time (in Marvel Team Ups #137) that a superpowered Aunt May, working as Galactus' new herald fed him a gigantic, planet-sized Twinkle Bar in order to get him to leave Earth alone.

He was so full that he needed a glass of milk to settle his stomach afterwards.

  • Dude.... this was freaking awesome! I'd forgotten aunt May had been the Golden Oldie some year back. But this whole issue was little more than an extended Hostess commercial!

    "Exiled from his home world for excessive baking practices, Dough Boy has roamed the universe creating planets called Twinkle Worlds in his wake." - Now there's a superhero origin story.

    @OrangeDog - There is no story so colossally stupid or bizarrely outlandish that it hasn't been seen repeatedly in DC + Marvel comics
