Character Bio - “Galactus was originally the explorer Galan from the planet Taa, which existed in the universe before the Big Bang. When an impending cataclysm gradually kills all other life in his universe, he and other survivors leave Taa via a space vessel, eventually becoming engulfed in the Big Crunch. However, Galan does not die, but is transformed through a bonding with the Sentience of the Universe. He gestates for billions of years in the next universe that formed, emerging as Galactus. A Watcher ("Ecce") observes the birth of Galactus, but chooses to not take the opportunity to kill him. Once fully aware, Galactus experiences hunger so strongly that he consumes the nearby planet of Archeopia. The planet ultimately becomes the first of many, as Galactus must consume their life energies for sustenance [….] Eventually, Galactus decides to empower others as a Herald to locate worlds for him. Galactus makes his first herald, the Fallen One, but is unhappy with him, and dismisses him. He later recruits Norrin Radd as the Silver Surfer [….] An undetermined amount of time afterwards, Galactus makes his way to Earth, but is defeated by the efforts of the Fantastic Four, Uatu the Watcher, and a rebellious Silver Surfer. Galactus leaves Earth, vowing that he will never try to consume it again. As he leaves, he relegates the Silver Surfer to Earth for betraying him [….] Galactus considers himself a higher being than all non-abstracts, maintaining his existence by devouring planets that have the potential for supporting life. This has resulted in the elimination of entire extraterrestrial civilizations on numerous worlds. Galactus wields the Power Cosmic and can employ it to produce nearly any effect he desires […] As Galactus must continuously feed to sustain himself, his power levels are inconsistent throughout any given period […],” (Wikipedia.org, 2012). _________________________________________________________________


-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Base Clarification: Galactus is a 2x double based figure (Template for basing).
• Galactus is an Event Hero and follows Event Hero rules.
• Galactus' Devourer of Worlds special power follows the C3G Removing Terrain Rules.
• Q: Are there any limits on the size or type of terrain that can be chosen for the Devourer of Worlds special power?
  A: As specified in the Devourer of Worlds special power, you may choose terrain pieces, glyphs, destructible objects, or obstacles that are unoccupied by figures regardless of size. If you choose terrain pieces, they can be of any type.
• Q: What impact does Galactus' base have on placement and engagement rules?
  A: When placing Galactus with Herald of Galactus, all 4 spaces of the 2 double spaced bases must be on the same level. It is possible for Galactus to have his feet on either side of terrain that is either higher or lower level than that which his bases are on, as long as the bases are on the same level. Figures that can fit on and move through the spaces between his feet are allowed to do so. Figures on the eight spaces surrounding each foot (15 spaces in total) can be considered engaged with Galactus as per official engagement rules.
• Q: Can I turn Galactus for free at any point during my turn, like with a double based figure?
  A: No, Galactus cannot be turned without Movement, due to the unique nature of his base, and he can only be moved with the Herald of Galactus special power.
• Q: If a destructible object is removed with Devourer of Worlds, does it trigger abilities such as the Evergreen Tree's Falling Tree? What happens to figures inside vehicle destructible objects and figures frozen by the Frost Giant when the Ice Rock is removed?
  A: Devourer of Worlds uses the term remove instead of destroy, so destructible objects removed with this ability aren't technically destroyed. Therefore, any ability that activates when a destructible object is destroyed would not be triggered by Devourer of Worlds. Figures on a vehicle's Army Card would not be able to return to the game, and figures placed on the Frost Giant's Army Card with Freezing Touch 14 would not have a way to return to the battlefield. The Ice Rock removed would not return to that Frost Giant's Army Card, so that Frost Giant would be prevented from using Freezing Touch 14 on another figure.
