Pre-Crisis Darkseid vs 616-Marvel Earth

That's because it was a stupid plot point. Although him being a dude that looks like a human primate is also pretty stupid. So many humanoids - on Star Trek it was because a forehead was cheaper than any other alien setup.

But he has those beautiful square irises….

There's also that ... I'm not sure if that's facial hair or not ... and that ... I'm not sure if thats hair.

Every race supposedly sees Galactus differently (which is something writers and artists keep forgetting) so that just makes we wonder what a Klingon's Galactus looks like.

I'd like to imagine Galactus just stopped caring and decided that his drip and sick fade were more important than suiting the look of other people.

Where does the purple box in Galactus’ eyes come from. As we can clearly see in panel 2, it’s not in the helmet and it’s not in his own eyes either. Clearly something about him just feeling comfortable in his hat gives him Purple Box Eyes.

Also, why does he need a hat that tall? What kind of rollercoaster has such an extreme “You must be this tall to ride” limit that Galactus needs an extra-tall hat? The Celestial Corkscrew? Or is the One Above All just a nickname for the universe’s biggest amusement park ride?

Galactus is the Space Pope. Tall hat, outfits that would embarrass Liberace....

Because it matches his skirt.

Why does he wear the skirt? Well according to his daughter Galacta ....

I always thought he was bald under the helmet....

Devourer of worlds by day, vampire hunter by night.

The blood suckers won't know what hit them.

Galactus is just basically Cosmic Worf, isn’t he?

[Captain Smith]

Wonder how he shaves? Interesting question - does Thanos, Darkseid, Adam Warlock, whomever - go to SpaceMart and buy a pack of razors - made of what? Supes came up with burning his beard with heat vision with a fragment of his baby space shape. Using the Power Cosmic or Omega Beams on your mustache doesn't sound like fun.

This man needs life alert.

[Sharpandpointies]

This man needs life alert.

Jeez, good one!

[The Dog]

This man needs life alert.

"Hello, this is Life Alert. How may I help you?"

"Help. Galactus hath fallen and cannot rise again."

"OK." *off microphone* "Galactus has fallen over again. Someone get the celestial crane and pick him up."

It may be that he was mentally compromised. It may not have been your point.

May be? The New Avengers reveal, back during the 99% time of his career people widely know him as being a total basket case, was all about how he repeatedly, globally mindwiped Marvel Earth in a cycle (pointed out by the Illuminati Mister Fantastic/Professor X exchange) but still had it in him to slip calls for help, despite a lack of psionic training, to throw that off, including subconsciously feeding his life experiences to a comic writer, and despite Mastermind (probably most famous for the Dark Phoenix Saga where he messed with Jean) intending to erase Sentry completely and operating at the time on a "the stronger the mind, the easiest for me to manipulate with illusions" basis.

I was just pointing out odd inaccuracies, which should be understandable to exist at this point for a character people are game to ackownowledge as mega-powerful, but who literally has dozens of powers now and for which even writers seem to want to dance around status quos for.

Sorry to interrupt any convos.
