![]() ![]() ![]() The Air-Walker served Galactus faithfully for years, and even befriended the world-devourer. Galactus gave Lan a tiny portion of his power cosmic, transforming Gabriel into the Air-Walker. He did not refuse Galactus’ offer of immense power and unlimited freedom to travel the universe under his own power. A member of the Nova Corps, Lan was brave and prone to wanderlust. ![]() Eventually, he chose Gabriel Lan, captain of an Xandarian exploration vessel, to become his next herald. Galactus began scanning the minds of sentient beings across the universe for a suitable replacement of the Silver Surfer. Galactus would later reconsider this decision, but the Silver Surfer resisted all of Galactus’ efforts to regain his services and the world-devourer began searching for a new herald… Galactus punished the Silver Surfer for his betrayal by trapping Norrin Radd on Earth. Moved by Alicia, the Silver Surfer rebelled and joined forces with the Fantastic Four and Uatu to drive Galactus away from Earth. When the Silver Surfer arrived on Earth, however, he encountered Alicia Masters, who sensed Radd’s nobility and courage. With his emotions and memories repressed, the Surfer began leading Galactus to inhabited worlds. The Silver Surfer served Galactus for many years, during which Galactus gradually altered Norrin Radd’s mind. As Galactus’ new herald, the Surfer was dedicated to finding uninhabited but energy-rich worlds for Galactus to consume. Galactus agreed and imbued Radd with a small fraction of his power cosmic, transforming him into the herald known as the Silver Surfer. However, when Galactus threatened to destroy Zenn-La, Norrin Radd offered to become the world-devourer’s servant if Galactus would spare his homeworld. Perhaps humbled by his experiences with the Fallen One, Galactus seemingly did not create another herald for eons. Over the millennia that followed, the Fallen One repeatedly escaped and tried to confront Galactus, only to be defeated and imprisoned again. However, the Fallen One was too hostile and unpredictable for Galactus to control, so the world-devourer eventually imprisoned him. Like the heralds that would follow him, the Fallen One was given the Power Cosmic. In the years that followed, Galactus created a succession of Heralds, each with very different backgrounds, motives, and personalities.Īlthough the ancient history of Galactus’ heralds remains rather vague, it is believed that his first herald was the being now known simply as the Fallen One. Eons ago, Galactus realized it was far more efficient to use advance scouts or “heralds” to seek out planets for him to consume. Galactus, originally named Galan, is one of the oldest and most powerful beings in the universe, having survived the death (big crunch) of his "first" universe and the birth (big bang) of this universe, but he is crippled by an insatiable hunger that drives him to consume the very life-energies of entire planets, destroying these worlds in the process. ![]()
