** Depending on continuity, he's also worse than Galactus; as a dark god in a crunchy robot shell, Unicron doesn't even ''need'' to eat anything. He just considers the mere existence of [[strike:life in]] the universe to be a personal affront against him.

** [[OmnicidalManiac Unless we blow it up first.]]
*** Wait. Are you suggesting the sun won't get a chance to destroy us [[HumansAreBastards because we'll destroy ourselves]] [[EarthShatteringKaboom along with the Earth]] first, or that it won't get a chance [[RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun if we blow ''it'' up first]]? [[CrazyAwesome Either one would actually be pretty cool]].

-->'''Omnipotus:''' Okay, I won't eat Earth now, but may I take a bite out of the moon as I go?

*** Incidentally, he is ''[[CaptainErsatz most definitely]]'' [[CaptainErsatz not Galactus]]. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial We really can't stress that enough.]] Marvel may have had a hand in ''The Transformers: The Movie'', and been publishing the ''Transformers'' comic at the time, but there is [[AlternateCompanyEquivalent no other correlation]].
* Galactus has been parodied on a fairly regular basis. ''[[DextersLaboratory Dial M for Monkey]]'' brought us Barbequor, who tried to turn the entire solar system into a shishkabob.

* The Sun-Eater from ''LegionOfSuperHeroes'', which does ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin.

* One of the two {{Trope Maker}}s is Galactus, from the MarvelUniverse. His appearance has varied significantly. In main universe, he's a [[AnthropomorphicPersonification universal constant]], in UltimateMarvel he's a robot swarm, and in the ''Film/FantasticFour'' movie he's a formless mass [[spoiler:although if you look ''really'' closely, you can make out Galactus's helmet within the swirling clouds at its core]].

* The Tyranids of ''{{Warhammer 40000}}'' intend to do this to every planet in the entire ''galaxy''. It's hinted that they're only now encroaching on our galaxy after eating the one they came from.\

->''Whoa! This dude eats planets? I've got to get a picture of that.''
->--'''Spider-Man''' on Galactus, ''MarvelUltimateAlliance''

** The main universe Galactus, despite being pretty omnicidal, is vital to the survival of the universe.

* It is thought that, near the end of the sun's life cycle, it will expand into a red giant and engulf some of the inner planets including the earth.

* [[StarWars Star Wars']] reborn {{Palpatine}} comes out with World Devastators, which suck up stuff from the planet's surface, reprocess it, and turn out new ships and munitions and even new World Devastators

** In season two, Mantrid went one better by eating [[spoiler: the entire]] ''[[spoiler:universe.]]'' [[spoiler: Technically, dismantling it and converting it into his drones, but they are arguably a part of his body, SoYeah.]]

PlanetLooters and [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Alien Locusts]] taken to the [=Nth=] degree. Compare OmnicidalManiac. This is an X class threat in ApocalypseHow.
