10 Fantastic Four Villains MORE Powerful Than Galactus

Eternity is a godlike being that embodies the multiverse and exists simultaneously in every universe to maintain reality. But for every force, there must be an opposite. Since Eternity's purpose is to create, his counterpart, Abraxas, serves to destroy.

To ensure his antithetical rival did not jeopardise reality, Eternity created a fail-safe in each universe called Galactus. So long as the planet-eating titan lives, Abraxas cannot penetrate that corresponding universe.

But when the Galactus of Earth-616 perished, Abraxas was freed, allowing him to access the multiverse, killing as many Galactuses as possible to maximise his power.

Since Abraxas was too powerful to face, the Fantastic Four tracked down the universe's most devastating weapon, the Ultimate Nullifier, believing it was the only thing capable of destroying Eternity's dark twin. But when Abraxas stole it, he prepared to use it to undo all of reality.

Fortunately, Franklin Richards uses his cosmic powers to resurrect Galactus, weakening Abraxas enough for Reed to retrieve the Ultimate Nullifier. Using the doomsday weapon, Abraxas was annihilated. Even though the Devourer of Worlds was revived, the Fantastic Four were glad that a far more dangerous enemy no longer posed a threat.
