r/WhatIfMarvel

I get that he was nerfed for the sake of plot and stuff but he really didnt think it would be EASIER and SAFER to blast zombies from the sky with large aoe attacks instead of on the ground shooting them one at a time, this is also 2 weeks before the thanos invasion so he probably has a fully finished nanotech suit or at least a prototype by now.

I just thought of something that might make Galactus's planet-eating even crazier.

In Marvel lore, certain planets contain developing Celestial embryos deep inside them. These embryos can eventually grow into full Celestials.

Now consider Galactus.

He consumes planets to obtain the energy he needs to survive. So whenever he consumes a planet containing a developing Celestial, wouldn't he potentially be destroying—and possibly absorbing some of the energy of—an unborn Celestial?

That leads to a bigger question:

Could consuming a Celestial embryo give Galactus a much greater energy boost than consuming an ordinary planet?

If Celestials have enormous cosmic potential even while developing, maybe that energy could theoretically:

- Give Galactus a massive temporary power boost

- Help replenish him when he's severely weakened

- Potentially accelerate his recovery from injuries

- Provide an unusually concentrated source of cosmic energy

I'm NOT saying this is confirmed canon. I haven't found evidence that Marvel explicitly says Galactus gains Celestial power by eating their embryos.

But the concept seems logically possible within Marvel's cosmology.

And now I can't stop thinking about it:

How many planets containing unborn Celestials might Galactus have consumed without even realizing what was inside them?

So we all know that Black Widow aka Natasha Romanoff joined Shield after Hawkeye failed to kill her and saw her potential and recruited her and then she joined the Avengers. But what if she was sent to kill the Wakandan king but instead failed and then caught and eventually joined the guard?
