A godlike cosmic omnivore, Galacta chooses to dine on non-native organisms on Earth, strictly sticking to a diet of alien contagions, which makes her the antithesis of her world-eating father, Galan, AKA Galactus.
Bellyache
Hailing from the Hypraxis Universe in reality Earth-610102, and spontaneously formed, Galacta is unlike her gluttonous father and resists the gnawing of her hunger pangs. Standing out from her father, she goes by her chosen name, Gali, and cares about the suffering of living things. She turns her tastes to non-native, alien lifeforms on Earth and protects the planet from alien infestations. This alternative meal plan leads her to count calories in a different way as she constantly sees everything and everyone around her as food, and yet she resists, subsisting on less. But when she discovers she has an extra-dimensional endosymbiotic and parasitic “cosmic tapeworm,” she turns to her father, despite the fact that she despises him.
Cosmic Appetite
Like her father, Galacta has a cosmic-level hunger and requires biomass energy to survive. She also possesses the Power Cosmic, which includes abilities such as cosmic awareness, cloaking, teleportation, and energy manipulation, but her powers are not as vast as her father’s. She also possesses nigh-omniscience though it can be overwhelming. While on Earth, she taps into her Power Cosmic to disguise herself as human.
Galacta also has the most advanced detection gear in existence. With its sensor array, it can verify and clarify that what she eats is in fact a non-native species to Earth. She wears a suit with a jetpack that is equipped with four rockets, and it allows her to fly. Her suit also contains utensils that emit beams and allow her to eat her meals from a distance.
An Empty Stomach
A lone intestinal bacterium, a Tapeworm Cosmic, seems to be Galacta’s foremost foe, causing insatiable hunger, beyond what she normally experiences.
Meal Ticket
In her quest for a non-planetary dietary substitute and to rid herself of her Tapeworm Cosmic, Galacta reaches out to her father’s primary foes on Earth-616, the Fantastic Four. Though she eyes them up as her next meal, she resists the temptation of eating them.
Food Diary
While waiting for her father to get back to her about her tapeworm, Galacta considered to consume the X-Man and mutant James Howlett, AKA Logan, who would conveniently regenerate for her to endlessly harvest. But she went further to weigh the option of using her power-cosmic abilities to create an improved Ego, the Living Planet encoded with Wolverine’s self-repairing ability. That way, there would be no more exterminations of innocent biospheres. Though with her cosmic awareness, she instantly realized the flaw in her plan: upscaling Wolverine’s DNA attributes would unravel the fabric of the universe.
Galacta saves Earth from many unseen or undetected threats like asteroids, weaponized bioagents released by Hydra, reality-distorting cosmic-rays, and other alien anomalies that she ingests. Though her tapeworm issue grows to larger proportions when it goes unsatisfied and makes Galacta frantically search for solutions herself, leading her to seek out Earth’s First Family, the Fantastic Four. They help her realize that the only way to stop the tapeworm is to use the Ultimate Nullifier to effectively cut the tapeworm out of her. Just as she was about to use the weapon on herself, her planet-eating father, Galactus, appeared and shared his far vaster cosmic awareness with her and helped her realize she had misidentified the parasite and she was in fact pregnant and she had spontaneously generated in him in the same manner.
Now eating for two, Galacta finds a sun to devour. Little did she know that the sentient quantum singularity known as Singularity had just thrown the Shard of Ire into said sun, one of four crystal shards that held reality together.
