    I just got a book from 1983 called Galactus: The Origin and added it to the vine. It tells his whole origin from the beginning as Galan. I was wondering who wrote the origin on his page and if his origin is retold in any other comic. Some things are different in this book. There is no evidence that the being that created him was the Phoenix Force. I know little of the Phoenix Force and I don't like to change others work. The being called itself the 'sentience of the universe' and claimed they both must die. So they combined to become Galactus.

    Can someone clarify where it is stated that this is the Phoenix Force? The origin written for the Phoenix Force doesn't say anything about being a part of Galactus at any time.

    The origin that I know which is post Galactus: The Origin states he is the last surviving member of the universe prior to the one that exists now and some being offered him cosmic powers in order for him to (this is the part  I forget)... He has been around for the length of our universe though.

    Movie would be great, but they already hurt it in the Fatastic Four movie.

    Basically, LOL. Then the movie was short with little good action scenes or actors.

    Alright, well I changed the Phoenix Force thing. If someone can reference it being the Phoenix Force I will change it back (or you can).

    It was not the Phoenix Force, it was the previous universe's version of Eternity.
