Galan, also known as Galactus and The Devourer of Worlds, is a godlike supervillain and one of the main antagonists of Marvel Comics, opposing the entire Marvel Universe, but most commonly serving as the secondary antagonist of the Fantastic Four comic book series and a major antagonist in the Avengers comic books, as well as being the main antagonist of the Silver Surfer comics. Although he is not exactly malevolent, he is nevertheless a dangerous individual who requires nothing short of entire worlds to hold off his eternal hunger and is also linked in such a way to the Marvel universe, that if he dies, the entire Marvel universe will end. This makes Galactus somewhat unique in the fact he is both an immensely destructive force yet also necessary for the existence of the universe. He is the main antagonist in the ultimate crossover Cataclysm: The Ultimates' Last Stand and the titular main antagonist of The Galactus Trilogy.
