[QUOTE="Matchstick, post: 3571332, member: 217"] The thing is though that you could say that about Galactus and the Surfer in any number of ways. There's a million ways that either one of them could have "snapped their fingers" and overpowered earth in a few seconds. "Combat" has nothing to do with it, in a combat the FF would have no chance against Galactus, unless they were all in a comic book. When Reed holds up the Ultimate Nullifier in his hand and threatens Galatus with it, why doesn't Galactus just paralyze him and take the Nullifier away? Surround him with the power Cosmic, make him unable to move, and then dump him into a black hole? Or just place him in the middle of a sun, permanently paralyzed and inaccessible to everyone, still holding the nullifier. Heck, as he approaches a planet, why doesn't he just paralyze everyone, or sleep them, on the off chance they might not like getting their essences consumed? He's got the power! Terrax destroys a planet single handedly in Annihilation, there's no reason to believe that the Surfer or certainly Galactus couldn't just wave a hand and turn all the oxygen in the atmosphere to chlorine, or all the water to arsenic (transmutation like that is certainly within Galactus' power). Heck, the Surfer in a fit of pique shuts down all sources of power AROUND THE WORLD in an instant, just a couple days of that would have put the Earth into plenty of a panic to not be able to react to Galactus' arrival. Surely Galactus could destroy our sun before anyone from Earth could get there. Then all he has to do is wait a bit to have a nice Earthy morsel. Couldn't he start chucking moons at Earth from far off space? Scrambling superpowers is FAR from the only option Galactus didn't take advantage of when trying to nosh Earth. Yet I don't think of the comics as "very bad writing". [/QUOTE]
