10 Characters Who Have Defeated Galactus
5. Aegis & Tenebrous
Galactus has been around since the beginning of time, so it is safe to say he's rubbed some individuals the wrong way. One could even assume some grudges may be held against the World Eater for a number of different reasons.
An ancient battle resulting in imprisonment on Kyln would qualify as a legitimate reason to kick The Devourer of World's off their friends' list and seek some serious payback on the cosmic being. And that is exactly what happened with Aegis and Tenebrous.
These two Proemial Gods are older than time itself and have been around since before the birth of the universe. When the Annihilation Wave destroys the Kyln, these two deities are released and seek vengeance on the Great Destroyer. To ensure their victory Tenebrous drains the power of The Fallen One, who just happens to be the first ward of Galactus.
The God of Oblivion had no idea what he was in for when he got hit face first with this blast from the past. Galactus and Silver Surfer were no match for the powerful beings. The planet-killing duo were beaten quite easily and rather quickly, given their track record throughout the cosmos with powerful beings.
