** But maybe triggering a black hole was how Gallaxhar destroyed the planet, his backstory is blanked out by the cloning machine and ends up as a load of rubbish but what if he said 'I made the sun turn into a black hole and destroyed the planet' but didn't say he was seventy lightyears away and made the hole safe afterwards.

[[WMG: MegaMind was from the same planet as Gallaxhar]]
I just saw the trailer of MegaMind in front of "Despicable Me" and MegaMind just looks like an expy of Gallaxhar on the surface, right? But what if part of Gallaxhar's backstory was that he was either adopted or a lovechild between a member of MegaMind's species and another species?
* I totally thought this too, maybe Gallaxhar wasn't treated nicely on MegaMind's planet, so he destroyed it and left to take over the earth.

Think about it, after the credits the man appears and says he's ninety years old. Pushing ninety doesn't look like you're forty-to-sixty. Plus, how does a 'Nam vet collect enough experience, strength, and resources to hog tie MONSTERS? As in the mad science, nuclear mutation variety? Maybe [[ComicBook/{{Hellboy}} monsters can only fight monsters]]? And why just keep them confined? Wouldn't it be cheaper to exterminate them? Or even go the Dr. Cockroach route, experiment on them? Keeping them all in the same location, letting the monsters interact, form bonds, become a band of brothers? Sounds like a revolt waiting to happen. Or maybe he was gathering an army, in case something like the world invasion happened? Or rise and over throw the Buffoon President?

** I was actually rather impressed with the writers for how they handled this. Yes, they gave Susan nothing but size and standard non-flying brick package for powers, but they then ''let her use them''. There was literally no point at which she attempted to use brute strength for anything and it failed, except when she took ''a little too long'' to break the jar/cage her powers were drained in (and it was about to shatter if she'd had a few seconds longer). And once she gained her confidence (aka by the time she was abducted), she ''realized'' and ''accepted'' this fact and started throwing brute strength around as a solution even when standard movie/videogame logic tells her she should be helpless.

His NoodleIncident-laden StartOfDarkness apparently began when he found some dreadful fact about his parents, and apparently he was happily married at one point, up until his new wife wanted to do ''[[IfYouKnowWhatIMean something]]''.

It also provides a handy HandWave for why [[GoGoEnslavement he put Susan in the "one-size-fits-all" unitard]]: he didn't want to see her naked after he sucked the Quantonium out of her and returned her to normal size.

Disregarding the [[RuleOfCool idea of Ginormica meeting Christopher]], consider that no one seems to be as alarmed by Gallaxhar as they normally would be in a first contact scenario: this is because they already know about aliens! The ones that landed in Johannsburg a few decades ago. Then more of them showed up, took their people away, and left. (After branding Earth as an [[CrapsackWorld intergalactic]] [[HumansAreBastards hellhole]], of course.) So they were hoping to find actually human-ish looking benevolent aliens; also why they tried conventional weapons. They worked pretty well against the prawns, right?
