Marvel Comics flagship superhero title, Fantastic Four, creators Stan Lee and Jack Kirby collaborated on an antagonist designed to break from the archetypal mold of supervillains of the time, and be instead a being of god like stature and power. As Lee recalled in 1. Galactus was simply another in a long line of super villains whom we loved creating. Therefore, the natural choice was sort of a demi god, but now what would we do with him.

We didnt want to use the tired old cliche about him wanting to conquer the world. That was when inspiration struck. Why not have him not be a really evil person After all, a demi god would be beyond mere good and evil. What hed require is the life force and energy from living planets2Kirby described his Biblical inspirations for Galactus and an accompanying character, an angelic Herald Lee dubbed the Silver Surfer My inspirations were the fact that I had to make sales. And I had to come up with characters that were no longer stereotypes. I had to get something new. And for some reason, I went to the Bible. And I came up with Galactus. And there I was in front of this tremendous figure, who I knew very well, because I always felt him, and I certainly couldnt treat him the same way that I would any ordinary mortal. Silver Surfer is the fallen angel. They were figures that have never been used before in comics. They were above mythic figures, and of course, they were the first gods. Kirby further explained, Galactus in actuality is a sort of god. He is beyond reproach, beyond anyones opinion. In a way he is kind of a Zeus, who fathered Hercules. He is his own legend, and of course, he and the Silver Surfer are sort of modern legends, and they are designed that way. Writer Mike Conroy expanded on Lee and Kirbys explanation, stating, In five short years from the launch of the Fantastic Four, the LeeKirby duo. Skrulls, the Watcher and the Stranger, all of whom Lee and Kirby used in the foundations of the universe they were constructing, one where all things were possible but only if they did not flout the natural laws of this cosmology. In the nascent Marvel Universe, characters acted consistently, whatever comic they were appearing in. Their actions reverberated through every title. It was pure soap opera but on a cosmic scale, and Galactus epitomized its epic sweep. All this led to the introduction of Galactus in Fantastic Four 4.
