Don't let the title fool you! In reality, this is a stealth issue of WHAT IF?!

Ask yourself the question.

Galactus has been killed, turned back into Galaan or turned into Lifebringer, and nothing bad happened.
I guess most writers either don't know or choose to ignore that universal balance or Abraxas thingy for the main continuity, and even more for alternate universes.

Or one could no-price that the 8th (post Secret Wars) universe doesn't have the exact same rules as the 7th. Especially if Reed had something to say about it.

I thought that post-SW stuff excused the Lifebringer angle, as part of Ewing’s Ultimates story was the cosmic balance was up for grabs. Chaos and Order staged that coup.

Didn’t know Galactus had been killed or de-powered for extended periods. My main exposure to him has been Byrne’s FF.

He's currently dead (Thor killed him) and the SIlver Surfer is attempting to bring him back by merging him with the Destroyer Armour.

Wait, what? Why?

Re: OK...and then what happened?

[shakalooloo]

I don't know why Thor killed him (I haven't been reading that book) but in FF the Destroyer armour is being used because Galactus needs a physical form and it was a former herald of his.

I’m guessing the answer for “why” is, “Donny Cates.” Reading the description, it just feels very Catesian.

[deh_tommy]

No, I mean why is Silver Surfer helping Galactus in this scenario?

Re: OK...and then what happened?

[shakalooloo]

Because of...

THE RECKONING!!!

How can you say such a thing!?

The story is about aliens! With shooty lasers!

He was effectively killed for a good while by the Poppupians and the High Evolutionary back in FF#175. Death doesn't seem to stick for him though, maybe because he's the third point of the triangle made with Death and Eternity.

He was also depowered during the Waid/Wieringo run on FF, but that was a short-lived situation.
