    He fought against the immense Cancerverse version of Galactus called The Galactus Engine in The Thanos Imperative. It was at the breach/fault between the 616 and Cancerverse realities, but he was still in the 616 reality at the time.

    It also meant Galactus technically created and was the embodiment of the Microverse, and The Enigma Force's Time Travelers and Captain Universe were sort of his heralds as well since Galactus was The Sword in the Star in Earth X's reality/continuum.

    Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #2 Jun 1984
    "Prisoners of War!"
    On the surface of Battleworld, a planet created by the Beyonder in the previous issue the heroes
    gathered by the Beyonder are attacked by the villains the god-like being brought there as well.
    The villains, armed with weapons found in a fortress on Battleworld, managed
    to get the element of surprise and began winning the battle against the heroes.
    Elsewhere Doctor Doom flies across the landscape recalling the events that brought them here.

    He manages to find Galactus, who attempted to attack the Beyonder earlier, only to be cast down to the surface of Battleworld.

    Doom attempts to get Galactus' attention, but the world devourer merely rises from the ground and walks off,
    ignoring the villain as though he were nothing more than a gnat. With his attempt to ally himself with Galactus a complete failure,

    Doom decides to follow through on his alternate plan. Returning to the massive fortress that the villains had commandeered for themselves
    before leaving to fight the heroes, Doom blasts past the security defenses and gains access inside where the inert body of Ultron is being stored.

    Back at the battle, the heroes manage to regain the upper hand and send the villains in retreat.
    However they manage to capture the Enchantress, Kang, Bulldozer, Piledriver and Thunderball, as prisoners.
    The heroes then go seeking shelter and find an abandoned fortress for themselves where they can detain their prisoners in stasis.
    As they are exploring the facility, Colossus notices that Lockheed went missing in battle and thinks about how his girlfriend,
    Kitty Pride would be upset if they do not return home with the little dragon. After the villains are contained,
    the heroes begin looking around and are surprised to find the fortress meets their every need but is completely abandoned.
    Captain America soon calls a meeting together and begins formulating a plan to capture their foes.
    He sends Thor, the Human Torch and Iron Man out on patrol while the rest of the group finds lodging and food.
    Elsewhere on Battleworld, at yet another fortress, the mutant terrorist known as Magneto has found his own base of operations.
    Watching over the alien landscape before him, Magneto wonders if anyone else feels
    the same sense of destiny that he does regarding the events which are about to unfold.

    Meanwhile, the uncaptured villains return to their hideout to find Doom waiting there for them.
    Still thinking him a traitor for previously abandoning them instead of fighting the heroes, they are about to attack
    when they are suddenly blasted aside by Ultron, who has been reactivated and reprogrammed to be loyal to Doctor Doom.
    Outgunned, the remaining villains have no choice but to follow Doom and allow him to be their leader.
    Doctor Doom then begins sucking up to the Molecule Man, easily one of the most powerful people out of them all.
    When Doctor Octopus turns Doom's attention to Galactus, they pull the world devourer up
    on a monitor screen revealing him to be standing at the top of a peak glowing with energy.
    Doom assures Octopus that plans are in motion so that they will triumph and orders Octavius to rest.
    Octopus complies but suspects that Doom will eventually betray them.
    At that moment, Magneto secretly infiltrates the heroes' base while his opponents are trying to relax.
    She-Hulk and the Wasp discuss all the things left behind on Earth,
    while Cyclops and Mister Fantastic lament about being separated from their wives,
    while Spider-Man and the Torch spend time together.
    Suddenly, Spider-Man's Spider-Sense goes off, warning him that Magneto is in the power plant of their headquarters.
    While he web-slings off to confront the threat, the Torch fires off a Fantasti-Flare to summon the rest of the heroes.

    When the other heroes arrive, Spider-Man has been subdued and all the heroes combined are less than a match for Magneto.
    As the Master of Magnetism dumps machinery on them and escapes, the Wasp tries to chase after him.
    Magneto responds by wrapping her up in metal and taking her prisoner.
    Getting free, the Thing tries to chase after their foe but suddenly changes back into human form, much to everyone's surprise.
    Before they can go after Magneto, Captain America calls the rest of the heroes over to the monitor room where he
    and the Hulk have pulled up an image of Galactus. Cap warns the others that they have bigger concerns to deal with right now.

    Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #4 Aug 1984
    "Situation: Hopeless!"
    The forces of Doctor Doom have forced the gathered heroes to flee and destroyed their headquarters,
    a victory for Doom and his minions in Beyonder's on going Secret War.
    Spotting their foes fleeing the scene, Titania and the Wrecking Crew begin tossing debris at the heroes.
    Goaded on by Volcana, the Molecule Man one ups them all by using his powers to raise a mountain from nearby and dropping it on their enemies,
    seemingly killing them all in one fell swoop. While the others cheer, Doctor Doom is not entirely convinced that was the end of their foes.

    Elsewhere on Battleworld, Thor and the Enchantress are still having their private council about the Beyonder.
    Recalling the Beyonder's offer to grant them their fondest desires if they slay their enemies, Thor asks what the Enchantress could want.
    When she specifies Thor's love, he tells her that love is not an object that can just be taken.
    Their discussion is suddenly interrupted by a massive earthquake.
    They quickly teleport back to the heroes base to see what is going on and appear in the middle of Doctor Doom's army.
    When Doom demands the Enchantress choose a side, she hesitantly sides with Doom and the others attack Thor.
    While the villains keep Thor on the ropes, Doom commands Ultron to use his disintegrator ray to destroy Thor.
    Ultron seemingly succeeds in atomizing Thor, leaving nothing but his helmet and a scrap of his cape behind.
    After this second seeming victory, Doom recounts that the X-Men were not among the heroes and that their work is not yet done.
    However, he pauses to deal with some more pressing business first.
    Recalling how Kang tried to kill him when they first arrived on Battleworld, Doctor Doom orders Ultron to kill Kang.
    The time traveler tries to beg for his life, but it is of no avail and Ultron slays him.

    Elsewhere, the X-Men are flying across Battleworld, seeking out Magneto. En route, Colossus takes the time to
    think about his girlfriend back home, the youthful X-Man known as Sprite and wonders if he will ever see her again.
    Rogue is also deep in thought, thinking of how not too long ago she would have been on Doom's side of the Secret War.
    As the X-Men prepare for whatever their encounter with Magneto will bring, the Master of Magnetism
    is using his powers to create a mental comb for his guest the Wasp to comb her hair with.
    Suddenly the pair are interrupted by the arrival of the X-Men.
    Xavier asks Magneto to join him, telling him of the good they can do if they operate as a third force outside of Captain America's group.
    Magneto agrees, suggesting that they use the Beyonder's offer to create a golden age where mutants rule over humans.
    Hearing this, the Wasp drops her pretense in being interested in Magneto and attacks.
    She then manages to slip past the X-Men and get to their ship but finds it incredibly difficult to control.
    When Magneto tries to stop her from escaping with his powers, Xavier stops him, recounting how he made a grave error erasing
    Spider-Man's memories earlier and that they should not interfere with the others, that using evil means does not justify their good intentions.

    Meanwhile, buried under tons of rock are the heroes, who have survived thanks to the Hulk holding up the rock with his strength.
    However with a number of them injured and a limited supply of air, time is running out before they either suffocate or get crushed to death.
    Quickly thinking, Mister Fantastic cannibalizes some of Hawkeye's trick arrows, Iron Man's spare power pack and one of Spider-Man's
    web-shooters into a device that allows the Human Torch and Captain Marvel to channel their powers through Iron Man's armor.
    The device works and boosts Iron Man's armor significantly to blast their way free from the mountain.
    Upon getting free, the heroes find Thor alive and well, and he explains he escaped
    a certain death by temporarily blinding their foes and making a hasty retreat.
    Needing medical attention for some of their allies, Captain America sends Captain Marvel off on a recon mission to find someplace for them to go.

    CM finds a village at the base of the mountain where Galactus is standing.
    Soon the other heroes arrive and the locals prove friendly and immediately take in the wounded champions.
    They quickly discover that one of these aliens, Zsaji, can heal with a touch. When she heals the Human Torch he is instantly attracted to her.

    Then, Ben Grimm expresses to Reed his concerns about being so close to Galactus when suddenly he transforms into the Thing again.
    When Ben asks why this is happening, Reed hesitantly tells him that he'll think about it, however, he knows more than he is letting on.

    Reed then turns his attention to Galactus and is horrified when he sees the world devourer raising his hands to the sky.

    Talking Happy Birthday Jim Shooter!!!

    Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #5 Sep 1984
    "The Battle of Four Armies!"
    Mister Fantastic's worse fears have been realized: trapped on Battleworld by the Beyonder,

    Galactus has summoned his worldship so that he can consume this patchwork world and sate his hunger.
    Although this is an awesome sight, the assembled heroes try to figure out what to do next.

    The healer named Zsaji is in a panic, so the Human Torch tries to calm her down,
    however there is a language barrier between the two of them. In order to break past them, Zsaji takes Johnny to her home
    where she opens a bottle containing a strange gas that allows them to meld minds so Johnny can tell her what's going on.
    He recounts how they were gathered by the Beyonder to battle to the death
    and obtain their heart's desire, leading to a clash with super-villains being led by Doctor Doom.
    This resulted in the injuries the heroes sustained before seeking Zsaji's help.

    Elsewhere, the X-Man known as Colossus tries to sleep but cannot help but think about his girlfriend Kitty Pryde whom he left at home.
    His thoughts about her are quickly cut off by the telepathic summons of Professor X.
    Colossus joins the rest of the X-Men in meeting with Xavier and Magneto.
    With the threat of Galactus becoming apparent, Magneto orders the X-Men to attack him in order
    to distract the world devourer long enough for Magneto and Xavier to take a more subtle attack.
    When Wolverine balks at taking orders from Magneto, the Professor tells his team to follow Magneto's orders.

    Meanwhile, the Molecule Man and Volcana are bonding and growing closer together.
    As they walk past the Wrecking Crew and the Absorbing Man, Pile Driver decides to pick on the Molecule Man.
    When none of his friends back him up in bullying the Molecule Man, Pile Driver learns why it is not a good idea to make him angry:
    Owen Reece channels his powers to change Pile Driver's costume into into an ultra hard metal causing him to fall over.
    Adding insult to injury, Pile Driver has his face pushed into the mud by Volcana
    and they leave him to be ripped out of his costume by the others.
    As the others just begin to notice Galactus' worldship hovering over Battleworld,
    Doctor Doom has long since been aware of its arrival and is busy working on a plan to use this to his advantage.
    His work is interrupted by the Enchantress who tries to seduce Doom by offering to repair the damage done to his face.
    Doom resists her offers and tells her to begone. Frustrated by being rejected by a mere mortal, the Enchantress teleports away.

    As Magneto and Xavier channel their powers together to try and establish telepathic contact with Galactus,
    the heroes gathered at the base of his mountain decide what to do next.
    Mister Fantastic figures he can try to reach out to Galactus as he had recently saved the world devourer's life.

    However neither ploy works, and Galactus rebuffs telepathic contact
    and causes a section of Magneto's base to explode while also blasting Reed aside.
    Seeing the heroes as pests, Galactus unleashes a robot to keep them busy
    while he begins forming the device he needs to consume Battleworld.
    Although the heroes manage to destroy the robot set upon them,
    they are suddenly attacked by Doctor Doom's villains.
    While the battle rages, Doom watches from a distance.
    When it appears that his minions are going to succeed,
    the heroes get saved thanks to the timely intervention of the X-Men.
    The sheer force of the battle is enough to temporarily distract Galactus from his work and while
    the world devourer's head is turned, Doctor Doom quickly pilots his ship in to the Worldship of Galactus.
    Doom's minions are forced to flee, but not before seriously wounding Colossus.
    With the battle over the X-Men pull back but are forced to leave their comrade behind.
    Although Wolverine protests this, Xavier points out that Colossus' injuries were serious enough that
    to move him would have killed him and that the heroes have a healer on their side who can save his life.

    In the aftermath of the battle, the heroes find Colossus and see that he needs medical attention.
    When they get Zsaji to heal him, Colossus is taken by how beautiful she is
    and grows instantly jealous that she happens to be interested in the Human Torch.
    Colossus then pretends to be in even more pain in order to get more of her healing touch.
    Meanwhile, as Mister Fantastic and Captain America fear the worst about Galactus,
    they are unaware that Doctor Doom has gained access to his ship.
    From within, Doom hopes to find the tools he needs to defeat both Galactus and then the Beyonder.
    Suddenly his attention is drawn toward something of great interest on one of the walls of the ship.

    Thor #169 Oct 1969
    "The Awesome Answer!"
    Deciding that Thor is worthy, Galactus tells the Thunder God of his origins starting from the very beginning.
    Galactus continues with his tale from where he left off, how he was aboard a ship that crashed before a member of the Watchers.
    How that Watcher found that the entire crew had been slain by some strange plague, all except for one,
    a strange being that was glowing with energy, one whom would soon become Galactus.
    Thor deduces this and this sends Galactus into a brief fury, however he calms enough to explain how he came to that point...

    Galactus explains that he originated from a utopian world known as Taa,
    an advanced civilization that knew peace for many years.
    However, the planet would soon become doomed as it's people began succumbing to the Creeping Plague,
    a sickness that was killing countless alien worlds, and was now infecting the people of Taa.
    With the people dying en mass, a group of lone survivors decided to leave their world
    and fly their ship into the heart of the largest star they could find, so that they would die in a blaze of glory.

    Things would not happen exactly as planned, as the ship would be bombarded by a burst of radiation that would engulf the ship.
    While most of the crew died, the being who would one day become Galactus,
    would find himself absorbing the energies that would cause him to change into something different.
    It was this being which the Watcher would find when the ship would finally crash land on some distant world.

    The Watcher would analyze the creature and learn that it would soon need to consume worlds to survive.
    However as part of the Watchers code, all the Watcher could do is bear witness
    as this new being would repair the ship and then fly off into space.
    There the newly born Galactus would reshape the space ship of his rebirth into
    the incubation device that would be seen during Galactus' first recorded appearance.

    With the story done, Thor decides that Galactus is too much of a menace
    and prepares to attack even though Galactus has no desire to fight.
    However, before Thor can strike a single blow, Odin arrives and tells Thor that his penance is done and that he is
    needed on Earth, and teleports Thor there, telling the Thunder God that now is not the time for Galactus' destruction.

    On Earth, Balder and the Warriors Three confront the Thermal Man who is raging across New York City
    unchallenged and find themselves easily defeated by the robots limitless strength.
    However, as all seems bleak, Thor arrives, witnessing the destruction he prepares to fight the Thermal Man himself.

    I'd hate to think that they're creating a 9th iteration of the multiverse with so many of the same characters existing. All they seem to do is roll back everything to 616 once the story/crisis/ creative team's run is over.

    Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #6 Oct 1984
    "A Little Death..."
    After trying to escape the X-Men, the Wasp finds herself trying to get her escape ship under control.
    Unable to figure out the strange controls, the Wasp ends up crashing the ship.
    Unsure of where to go, she finds a holographic projector that shows her a nearby dome
    and she decides to shrink down to wasp size to try and locate it.
    On her way out, she turns and uses one of her bio-stings to destroy the ship.
    Flying into a nearby swamp she fights off some aggressive insects and finds the dome that the ship showed her earlier.
    Returning to human size the Wasp figures out what to do next when she is suddenly attacked by the Lizard.

    Meanwhile, aboard the Worldship of Galactus, Doctor Doom uses a device
    there to draw a strange energy he detected within the walls of the ship.
    To his surprise this energy reforms into Klaw, the so-called master of sound.
    Much to Doom's dismay, Klaw's mind has been affected by the ordeal,
    but Doom learns that Klaw got trapped during a battle with Dazzler.
    The mutant used her powers to convert his sound form into light energy that she then absorbed into her body.
    Later when she was abducted by Galactus, she used that energy to try and attack him,
    but the energy did nothing and Klaw's form became trapped in the wall.
    Finding Klaw of no use to him, Doom then continues to find something that will help him stop Galactus and then the Beyonder.
    Finding a control monitor, Doom views the events on Battleworld.
    He sees the gathered heroes regrouping after their battle with his minions who have now fled back to Doombase
    while Galactus himself continues to prepare the device that will help him consume Battleworld.
    Doom quickly formulates a plan to spoil Galactus' plan

    and uses a teleporter to send Klaw down to the planet to deliver a message to his minions.

    When Klaw materializes in Doombase, he recites a code word that convinces Ultron that he was
    sent by their mutual master, prompting the gathered villains to listen to what Klaw has to say.

    Back in the swamp, the Wasp realizes that the Lizard has attacked her out of fear due to the fact that he has been injured.
    Convincing the Lizard that she means no harm, the Wasp manages to get close enough to him to treat his wound.
    While back at Magneto's base, the X-Men have returned to salvage what they can after it was blasted by Galactus.

    Feeling weak, Xavier decides to take a moment to rest.
    He then reaches out with his mind telepathically to see what the villains are up to.
    Before the Enchantress detects his presence and uses her magic to block him out, Xavier learns how the villains are
    planning to cause a volcanic eruption on the other side of the planet and summons his X-Men to venture out and stop them.
    When he puts Cyclops in charge this angers Storm as she is the leader of the X-Men.
    But when she confronts Charles with this, he warns her that if she refuses to follow his
    orders he will not be against using his mental powers to force her to follow his bidding.
    Storm concedes but still believes that he is leading the X-Men into defeat.

    Meanwhile, at the heroes camp in the alien village, Colossus
    continues to recover from the injuries he incurred in the last battle.
    He finds himself torn between his feelings for his girlfriend Kitty Pryde back home
    and these new feelings he has for Zsaji the alien healer who saved his life.
    When she comes to heal him again he tries to open up his feelings for her, but the language barrier prevents her from doing so.
    When she goes to depart, she is picked up by the Human Torch who does some areal tricks with her before kissing her
    and taking her away, making Colossus grow even more jealous.

    Elsewhere Captain America is planning strategies with Mister Fantastic, the Hulk, the Thing and She-Hulk.
    When She-Hulk demands that they go looking for the Wasp, who is still missing,
    Cap assures her that Captain Marvel is searching for them.
    All this talk begins to get on the Hulk's nerves who demands that they go out and smash their enemies.
    Not far away, Hawkeye is preparing some traditional arrows after the last of his trick arrows were used to boost Iron Man's armor.
    Iron Man meanwhile tries to hit on Captain Marvel, who is uninterested
    and confused -- unaware that the man inside the armor is not the Iron Man she has previously known.
    For himself, James Rhodes wonders what has come over him and complains about his head hurting,
    which has been happening a lot recently since he became Iron Man.

    At that moment the X-Men attack the villains at the volcano in an attempt to foil their plans.
    During the ensuing battle, Wolverine manages to get close enough to the Molecule Man to slash him across the chest
    with his Adamantium claws, although Cyclops blasts Wolverine's arm to prevent him from striking a fatal blow.
    The villains retreat with their injured comrade and Cyclops unleashes an optic blast in a volcanic cone
    which causes the X-Men to flee themselves when the volcanoes begin to erupt.
    While back at the swamp the Wasp finishes binding the Lizard's wounds when she is suddenly
    shot through the chest with a laser beam fired by a massive vehicle piloted by the Wrecking Crew.
    When the Lizard tries to attack them, they immobilize the creature with a stasis beam
    and take the two prisoners even though they believe the Wasp is dead.
    Back at the Heroes camp, things appear even grimmer when they see
    that Galactus has almost completed his planet-devouring device.
    As they contemplate what to do next they are unaware that a shadowy figure is observing their movements.

    Of course they roll back. Only status quo sells.

    Any 9th Iteration we see will either be soon undone, or made over to look like the normal universe pretty sharpish.

    Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #7 Nov 1984
    "Berserker!" First appearance of Spider-Woman aka Julia Carpenter
    The heroes gathered on Battleworld by the Beyonder have discovered someone spying on them at their camp.
    When the Torch corners her, the mystery woman introduces herself as Spider-Woman.
    When the other heroes question how another human they haven't previously met could be on Battleworld, Mister Fantastic
    theorizes that since the Beyonder constructed Battleworld from planetary fragments a portion of Earth must have been used as well.
    Spider-Woman confirms this by explaining that the entire city of Denver has been brought to Battleworld.
    When she explains that she has come to help, she shows that she is more than capable by demonstrating her enhanced strength.
    The other heroes decide to trust her considering the fact that Dr. Doom has too much raw power to need to plant a spy among them.
    Suddenly they are attacked by a giant vehicle. When the Wrecker pops out of the porthole,
    he tosses out the seemingly deceased body of the Wasp before the villains take off.
    Some of the heroes try to chase after them but the vehicle is too fast.
    Quickly, She-Hulk picks up the Wasp's body and hands it over to their healer, the alien
    woman known as Zsaji, who tries to use her powers to revive the Wasp but to no avail.
    The Avengers are furious at the death of their comrade and are ready to rush off and get revenge when
    Captain America stops them and reminds them of the threat of Galactus who is still preparing to consume Battleworld.
    Convincing the others to stay their hand, they begin to plan their next course of action, all save for She-Hulk, who storms off on her own.

    Elsewhere, the X-Men retreat from the active volcanic region, and although they failed to stop a group of villains
    Xavier is impressed that they were able to send Titania, Molecule Man, Absorbing Man and Doctor Octopus packing.
    However, instead of returning to base, Xavier tells them to follow after
    their foes while he, Magneto, Storm and Nightcrawler rendezvous with them.
    Meanwhile, aboard the villains' craft, they care for the Molecule Man, who was seriously wounded by Wolverine's claws.
    Seeing Owen's condition from the monitors at Doombase, Volcana rushes to
    the Enchantress and asks the Asgardian sorceress to teleport her to Owen's side.
    When Volcana tells Amora that she is willing to do anything, the Enchantress teleports her away, satisfied by this offer.
    Volcana appears within the ship just as the two containing the X-Men and Magneto attack.
    During the course of the ensuing battle, Wolverine manages to chop off the
    Absorbing Man's arm while he is in the form of stone, but is burned badly by Volcana.
    Outnumbered and outgunned, Volcana calls a strategic withdrawal and uses her powers to cover their escape.
    At that moment aboard Galactus' ship, Doctor Doom continues to search
    for something that will allow him to defeat Galactus and the Beyonder.

    However, his plan to create a distraction by creating volcanic eruptions on the other side
    of Battleworld has backfired and has succeeded only in alerting Galactus to Doom's presence.
    Locating the intruder, Galactus uses his power to violently eject Doom from his ship.

    Back at Doombase, Doctor Octopus and his crew return and Volcana almost gets into a fight with the Enchantress.
    Titania stops her and warns the Enchantress that if Owen Reece dies she will rip her leg off and stuff it down her throat.
    Elsewhere, the Absorbing Man wonders what to do about his severed arm. By holding it in place where it was cut,
    he risks changing back to human form and is surprised when his gambit pays off and his arm reattaches itself.
    While down below in the dungeon the members of the Wrecking Crew lock the Lizard
    in a cell since he cannot be controlled after they seemingly killed the Wasp.
    Leaving the Lizard to rot, the Wrecking Crew are unaware that Klaw has been secretly watching the entire situation unfold.
    When Bulldozer retires to his room he notices that the wall has been ripped open from outside.
    Suddenly he is ambushed by She-Hulk, who begins to pummel on him for his part in the Wasp's death.
    Hearing the commotion, Titania enters the room and sees that the
    She-Hulk has defeated every member of the Wrecking Crew in a fight.
    She gets the jump on She-Hulk just as Doctor Octopus and Absorbing Man enter the fray.
    In yet another part of Doombase, the Enchantress laments over her current situation and pines for the love of Thor.
    Her thoughts are distracted by the return of Doctor Doom who has
    just barely survived being ejected from the Worldship of Galactus.
    He stumbles into his room and passes out, proclaiming that the battle is over.

    As the other villains are pummeling She-Hulk, the other heroes have discovered that she is missing.
    When Hulk and Hawkeye tell this to Cap and try to get him to mobilize a searching party, Captain America denies their request.

    When Cap sees that others want to go out and rescue her, he reminds them all that the stakes are too high to make decisions of the heart.
    Elsewhere in the village, Colossus is finally up and about after recovering from his injuries. He goes looking for Zsaji
    and finds her as she is leaving her hut. When she suddenly collapses he is there to catch her.
    Suddenly, Captain America is contacted by Professor X who tells him that he and his
    team can go after She-Hulk while the X-Men take their place watching over Galactus.
    With this bit of news, Captain America orders everyone to get ready to move out.
    NOTE: The Beyonder created Battleworld from pieces of hundreds of worlds from across the universe. The city of Denver was one of those pieces.
