Galactus

Galactus is a cosmic supervillain in Marvel Comics who devours planets to sustain himself.

Created in 1966, he serves as a force of nature rather than a conventional villain—necessary to the universe's balance despite the destruction he causes.

The name has become shorthand for any overwhelming, consuming force: My teenager is the Galactus of the refrigerator.
