10 Different Ways You Can Actually Defeat Galactus

7. Get Ghost Rider To Use Penance Stare

Marvel's animated filmography hasn't been flawless, it must be said. However, there's one particular moment in 1994's Fantastic Four that sits above all else as a defining moment in the company's history.

We are, of course, referring to the moment Ghost Rider - showing up out of quite literally nothing - rides up to Galactus, penance stares the sh*t out of him, and rides away, job accomplished.

Feeling the guilt of a billion, billion souls, the Devourer collapses to the floor, and well, it's just about the best thing ever, really. Anyone who's watched the show will attest to just how left-field the scene was, but better still, it's actually a really clever concept to explore. The two characters have never met in the comics - surprisingly so - and it would be a great moment to recreate there.

Ghost Rider could always do with some more love regardless (we're looking at you Netflix), and while hopes of seeing the pair collide on the big screen are unrealistic at best, it's a prospect all too many will have contemplated since watching this particular series.
