Galactus can decimate the mightiest force on Earth with little more than a shrug."But he does nothing. Silent he stands. Made invulnerable by a power beyond the ken of human comprehension."I don't think of the IG or HOTU as tech per se but remember, that's not power innate to Thanos.  It was acquired then lost.  I think it's safe to say that, by virtue of the use of either artifact Thanos would be capable of generating, maintaining, and using technology that surprasses anything Galactus has or could hope to have.Likewise, I think Galactus' tech ceiling is higher than Reed Richards, V.V. Doom, and the sum total of all humanity put together.Blasphemy. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Actually the stats themselves are current through about the early 1990s with all of the Dragon magazine supplements.</blockquote>
