1* Given what an InvincibleVillain ComicBook/RedHulk is, [[http://imagizer.imageshack.us/a/img39/1955/galactus.jpg watching Galactus effortlessly own him]] was ''very'' satisfying.
2* [[Comicbook/CataclysmTheUltimatesLastStand Dishing out a]] CurbStompBattle to the entire freaking UltimateUniverse!
3* [[WesternAnimation/FantasticFourTheAnimatedSeries "I am Galactus! The be-all and end-all of the universe!"]]
4* During Annihilation, Annihilus finds out the hard way that [[http://media.animevice.com/uploads/0/576/286681-026_4_destroystheannihilationwave_a_super.jpg imprisoning Galactus was NOT a good idea.]]
5* His single-handed defeat of Lord Chaos and Master Order is a friendly reminder that, even if there exist some cosmic entities that are more powerful, Galactus is ''not'' just the guy that gets hit by TheWorfEffect every few years.
6** Points go to the scene where he decks Order ''[[TalkToTheFist in the teeth]]''.
7* In the ''Fantastic Four: The End'' mini-series, Galactus learns that a massive alliance of alien races are out to destroy Earth as a "threat to the universe." Remembering his vow to leave Earth unharmed, Galactus appears in a ''massive'' hologram before the fleet and says that Earth is under his protection and the first race who attacks is next on his menu. Needless to say, the fleet is soon racing to see who can get away from Earth fastest.
8* His fight with the Mad Celestials. Celestials in the past have proved invincible whenever somebody tried stopping them. When [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Thor]] tried fighting the Celestials, they didn't see him as enough a threat to warrant their attention and it showed as he broke Mjlonir against one, and still failed to do any real damage. When they came to earth, three pantheons of gods poured their power into the [[AnimatedArmor Destroyer]] and at best only caused damage they ignored thanks to their [[HealingFactor regenerative powers]]. While Galactus lost when they [[FusionDance merged together]], he still took four Celestials at once and actually killed one.
9* Terrax attempting to rebel against Galactus. Galactus bluntly states that his Herald is powerful, but is nothing next to Galactus, and that he is not in the mood to put up with another rebelling Herald. Galactus proves his point by turning Terrax into a worm, then turning him into energy and dispersing him throughout the cosmos before turning him back to normal. Terrax quickly admits defeat and submits.
10* While he was an UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom in the situation, Galactus did still dish out a CurbStompBattle against [[InvincibleVillain Thanos]]. Thanos throws a huge blast at Galactus at the start of the fight that sends him flying into an asteroid, which he admits was only going to make Galactus angry. And Galactus returns and one-shots Thanos.
11* Galactus {{No Sell}}ing ComicBook/{{Darkseid}}'s Omega Beams, almost smirking when he tells him that his concern for Silver Surfer wasn't pity, just acknowledgment, and that there ''was'' no "inherent weakness" for the beams to exploit in him.
12* Galactus' fight with ComicBook/{{Mephisto}}. Galactus demands Mephisto release the Silver Surfer, and Mephisto goes ballistic [[BerserkButton at someone telling him what to do.]] They two massively powerful entities clash in a display of unimagineable power that threatens to destroy Mephisto's dimension and the universe in the clash. All while the two [[HamToHamCombat throw the most bombastic prose they can.]] Ultimately, Galactus emerges the victor when, at the Silver Surfer's suggestion, he starts to feed on Mephisto's dimension. The threat of his own realm being consumed by Galactus is enough to frighten Mephisto into admitting defeat.
