While I know each character has some powers that are extremely powerful and some can only be killed in certain circumstances, I don’t see how Galactus could lose this fight.
What say you?

are sauron and morgoth immortal?or immune to energy draining.

A being capable of becoming a god at full power and a deity-like figure that represents a facet of reality and thus cannot be truly killed versus two guys with some magic tricks. Uh-huh. This would be over in seconds.
March 7, 2009

Magic tricks?! That’s just mean to Morgoth, who created the concept of evil. And yes Sauron and Morgoth are immortal, their spirits cannot be destroyed, only cast into the void. We can’t know about energy draining seeing as they live in such different realities. I wonder if Morgoth’s will could come in to play though.

Can Galactus actually be permanently destroyed?
If so, Morgoth and Sauron would eventually be the last two, and would return at the end of time even if they were sent to the void. So Morgoth and Sauron could eventually dominate in a long drawn out match for absolute power.

“Can Galactus actually be permanently destroyed?”
According to Reed Richards, no. He is like an element. If they were to destroy him the universe would end, unless the Silver Surfer took up his mantle as the destroyer of worlds.
“Morgoth, who created the concept of evil.”
Evil is a human concept and truly only exists in the eye of the beholder. An extremely intelligent friend of mine brought this up in a conversation and we agreed quite soundly that there is no good and evil.
Our instincts and teachings tell us that any action that harms others is wrong.
But is it? Why? Why should we care?
Anyway, this rant will end here.

Galactus feeds on energy in all of its myraid forms,he says so himself
March 7, 2009

When I said evil, I put it badly. And i’ve often thought about those questions myself btw!
Their particular ancient magic would be very foreign to Galactus, and vice versa.
Morgoth was the one who tainted reality during the creation of existence. All impurities of the universe and the very principle of all evil stem from him. He was the one that made envy, greed, pride etc a bad thing. And he was second only to the creator. Put it that way
And so Morgoth can’t be destroyed until the end of time, and destroying Galactus would CAUSE the end of time…
Marche, I know what Galactus does, I just meant that working out what his energy draining would do to Morgoth and Sauron would be difficult, seeing as they come from a universe of magic and ancient creatures, where energy draining isn’t exactly a common issue
March 7, 2009

Actually you’ve gotten it wrong, the death of Galactus wouldn’t cause the end of time itself, merely allow for the imprisoned Abraxas to escape and gradually consume the multiverse.
It’s an issue of causality here.

IT seems like a great match up but Galactus eats worlds well as morgoth is still trying to conquer his first world.

ancient or not,galactus can absorb magic too,he wasonce feed from energy from thors hammer.
i would also like to note that VERY few things are more ancient than galactus,and that marvel is a mixing pot of magic,psionic,technology,and cosmic power,in one multi verse

Clash of the Titans!
Two cosmic beings & two gods
On this match i will vote on the sons of Illuvatar, though they represent ancient weaponry in the realm of Arda but if they are going to challenge Galactus & Silver Surfer, well that doesn’t sound galactic to them for they can copy the prowess of the 2 cosmic beings…..they don’t need to make a shiskebab of planets to survive nor they require a surfboard to channel energy…..Morgoth & Sauron are pure powers of the spirit and not energy only…..should their physical form be destroyed, their spirits will never loose potency…..
Ways for Galactus & Silver Surfer to win:
1.) Silver Surfer must be voiced by Lawrence Fishburn
2.) Galactus should appear in a form of a planetary sized smoke
March 8, 2009

It doesn’t matter how you spin it, Galactus is in a slightly higher class than Morgoth (His real competition in this match-up). He’s too important to the universe .
“Actually you’ve gotten it wrong, the death of Galactus wouldn’t cause the end of time itself”
In actuality, it would, but very very slowly. The way nature/science works in the Marvel Universe is different from the way it works in our own. Without Galactus devouring planets, the population of the universe would skyrocket until there was more life than resources.
BTW Has anyone read my fanfic?
March 8, 2009
#14
Wrong again.
Galactus consumes sentient biospheres (I would prefer the term noosphere) not to reduce the Universe’s population (That being the job of Death and Eternity) but to maintain his sustenance levels so that Abraxas would remain imprisoned within the “Other”.
Essentially Galactus is the gatekeeper, every Sentient life he destroys is merely a sacrifice for the greater good. That greater good being the continued imprisonment a monster hell bent on the destruction of all reality.
March 8, 2009
#15
In terms of the gae of the universe, Morgoth/Sauron and Galcatus are as ancient as each other, as they are all beings from/before the dawn of the universe (although Tolkein’s world had only one universe in comparison to the multiverse).
Energy devouring depends on if you look at the spirits of Tolkein’s world as energy or some impossible heavenly presence.
“IT seems like a great match up but Galactus eats worlds well as morgoth is still trying to conquer his first world.”
You have to remember the universe from which Morgoth comes, there was really only one world, Arda, with several planes and areas, which were home to all the existing beings, creatures, spirits and gods, yet Morgoth still managed to bring the world to darkness, and his essence is said to live on through the evil in the world, despite being imprisoned in the void.
Had Morgoth been conceived in to a reality similar to the marvel multiverse, he would also be on a planet destroying scale, although his role would most likely be to ‘corrupt’ planets into darkness.

Galactus could take this by himself. They all have to be on the same planet, so Galactus would eat them along with the planet.

“Galactus could take this by himself. They all have to be on the same planet, so Galactus would eat them along with the planet.”
What if Morgoth is outside the planet and has the form like Galactus and Sauron with the form like Silver Surfer?
Ok ok……So if you prefer for the 2 to be eaten by Galactus, then Morgoth & Sauron could tear the inside fabric of Galactus
March 9, 2009

“Ok ok……So if you prefer for the 2 to be eaten by Galactus, then Morgoth & Sauron could tear the inside fabric of Galactus”
he doesnt eat them like that.he would drain the mystical energy from them intill he is full.he is virtually omnipotent at this point.
March 10, 2009
#23
Not knowing too much about Galactus, do the different energies he devours have different effects on him, or do they all simply serve to satisfy his hunger?
And ‘eating’ Morgoth and Sauron’s bodies would not be enough to finish them off, considering their spirits are immortal and can only be banished.
March 10, 2009
#24
“Not knowing too much about Galactus, do the different energies he devours have different effects on him, or do they all simply serve to satisfy his hunger?”
Just varying levels of satisfaction. Populated planets seem to sate him more quickly.

Currently Galactus requires planets with a Sentient population to satisfy his hunger.

You mean the Silver Surfer who would *die* upon contact upon with a wall? That game did nothing to correctly depict abilities of the Power Cosmic, such as the ability to pass through solid matter!
What were they thinking?! The Silver surfer can take a punch to the face from the Incredible Hulk and return to normal seconds later, yet striking a wall at a speeds equatable to an Elderly shuffle is enough to fatally wound him?
March 11, 2009

Yes, I mean that embarrassing worthless pile of filth with a side healping of crap video game. Hell, I don’t even need to play it to see how bad it is… and I don’t even need to know anything about the Silver Surfer to know that he might as well be a paraplegic if the video game had any accuracy. I would feel very bad for Galactus if this was what his ally was truly like O_o

Morgoth and Sauron.
These are not people with a few magic tricks. Morgoth is a god, second in power only to the creator of the world of Arda. Creation of the raw construction blocks of life takes more power than simple destruction or absorption. Even the power cosmic, from what i’ve seen, has to alter already existing atoms into something else rather than just forming it out of nothingness. Morgoth created the evil creatures of the world, dragons, trolls, balrogs, without any previous creatures to malform.
Morgoth does have the potential to destroy the world of Arda… but why would he. If it was destroyed he wouldn’t be able to rule it.
Sauron versus Surfer is closer, but still the power of the ring, allied to Saurons already massive strength and power (In a set of official game rules where strength is measured from 1 – 100, sauron had 140. The Creator of Arda, whose name escapes me, had 185.) does make a huge difference.
Give the magic users some credit, they are a god and a warrior of dr strange-like magic prowess and huge might to boot.
March 11, 2009

Jwlynas, good points there. Some people tend to forget just what Morgoth and Sauron are. But Morgoth did not simply create dragons, trolls and balrogs from nothing. In fact, creation of conscious beings was a power only the creator (Eru/Iluvatar) had. Even beings created without him needed his blessing to be given sapience and self-awareness. Although Morgoth strived for the power of creation, he could only twist existing life, and hence ‘mocked’ Eru’s creations, creating trolls etc through mutilation and magic.
Morgoth did however play a role in the creation of existence itself. He, along with the other Ainur gods (of whom he was the strongest), were able to grant Eru the vision of the universe through music. Morgoth’s discordant, arrogant music battled with that of the other Ainur and was woven into reality itself, corrupting many, and tainting creation.
March 11, 2009
#31
Eru, that was the name I was looking for!
And I was mistaken, i thought he and the balcsmith god created their own creatures. Morgoth with his monsters, and the Blacksmith God (Curse my fallible name-memory) with his creation of the dwarves/dwarfs…
Ah well, we live and learn.
Even so, I’m still rooting for Morgoth and Sauron on this.
March 11, 2009
#32
Aulë is the name you’re looking for there ;D
And yes he created the dwarves, but they were nothing but emotionless puppets untill Eru ‘blessed’ them with the flame imperishable, (although, being a nice guy, Eru labled them as ’second’ to his creations of men and elves.)
Morgoth simply ruined all the ‘nice’ things and installed them with fire-breath and general disgustingness. Although God knows how he made the dragons. Breeding bats and snakes?
But the Balrogs (and Sauron of course) were Maia corrupted by Morgoth.
March 12, 2009
#33
Glaurung(Father of all Dragons), Ungoliant(Ancestor of Shelob) were Maiars too……
March 12, 2009
#34
I’m almost ashamed at my incomplete lore knowledge… ah well, I was partially right here and there.
Another fun stat-fact.
The Balrog of Moria was level 35.
Morgoth was level 485.
Not the most useful things, but still worth mentioning.
March 13, 2009
#35
“Glaurung(Father of all Dragons), Ungoliant(Ancestor of Shelob) were Maiars too……”
There’s no proof that Glaurung was maia. Morgoth could have bred him in Angband from whatever unknown creatures.
And I know about Ungoliant
He had 485?! So he’s almost 3 times as strong as Eru??
March 16, 2009
#36
I’m not sure if Glaurung was a Maia, after all he was killed by Turin Turambar, who is a mortal (but one hell of a badass). Also, Glaurung was bred by Morgoth, whereas the Maiar were created by Eru Iluvatar. Despite this he was the most powerful of the non-winged dragons (the most powerful of all dragons being Ancalagon the Black), and the most cunning of all.
March 19, 2009
#37
“He had 485?! So he’s almost 3 times as strong as Eru??”
Not as strong as Illuvatar
Again and again its Illuvatar not Eru!
Only Tulkas can outmatch Morgoth in terms of strength
March 20, 2009

I know he’s not, I was just wondering how that was possible. Most likely a mistake. And I’m calling him by his easier to type name!!

I don’t know why Sauron and The Silver Surfer were included here, their power pales in comparison to the other two. With this scenario you run into the same problem as several other matches: One Godlike indestructible entity vs another Godlike indestructible entity.
Galactus may or may not be able to devour Galactus, and Morgoth may or may not be able to corrupt Galactus.
Now That would be an interesting outcome. Galactus isn’t truly evil, he is just carrying out his duty to protect the universe, so what if Morgoth pulled him into darkness, a task that would, essentially, have Galactus bent to Morgoth’s will.

if you read up to now, you guys are fucked!

Team evil FTW.
Morgoth and Sauron are god-like beings. Morgoth is a Valar, and Sauron is a Maia. However, Sauron has achieved a level of strength equal to or surpassing a Valar. He can even create life, something I believe even Morgoth has trouble with.
While Galactus is certainly at their level, the Surfer is not. Sauron would crush the Surfer first, and then the double-team would break Galactus. While Morgoth, Sauron, and Galactus are all nearly unkillable, the Surfer can be destroyed, and that’s just what team evil is going to do.
Oh, and of the argument that Galactus’ death would destroy the multiverse . . . that won’t matter. If Morgoth/Sauron considers the destruction of a multiverse vs. them losing in the fight, he’ll tell y’all to screw the multiverse, and then proceed to pulverize team Marvel.

Neither Sauron or Morgoth or any other LotR diety can create life other then Eru. The Urukai, Orcs and Trolls aren’t truly alive, they are mere mockeries of life.
Galactus on the other hand, is fully capable of creating life.

“While Galactus is certainly at their level, the Surfer is not. Sauron would crush the Surfer first, and then the double-team would break Galactus.”
Nope, not correct at all. In fact, I think the Surfer would have a fairly easy fight against Sauron. What does he have to do? Simple. Just turn the air in contact with the One Ring to the lava of Mount Doom.
There. Poof.
He can come up with numerous other ways of dealing with the dark lord. Banish him into a black hole, trap him (kill him?) in the core of the earth, leave him behind in hyperspace in an eternal loop across the universe. Sauron has not displayed the same level of power that Surfer has in the past.
I have no opinion on Galactus / Morgoth yet.

What powers does Sauron show in combat? In the Silmarillion (hoped i spelled that right) Sauron has shown the ability to shape shift into a Vampire/Werewolf/ Humaniod form. But besides this (and his incredible strength/intellegence), what else does the Dark Lord have up his sleves?
For Morgoth, combat is not the greatest of his talents (compared to his abilities to corrupt, command, and create mockeries of life). A good example of this (and if some people disagree I understand) is his duel with Fingolfin (an elf King)
“When Fingolfin, the High-king of the Noldor, learned of the defeats and heavy casualties of the Noldor, in despair and anger, he rode alone upon his war-horse, Rochallor, across Anfauglith to challenge Morgoth to single combat. The Orcs fled at the rumour of his approach. When Fingolfin arrived at gate of the fortress of Angband, his challenge to Morgoth was accepted. They fought a great duel in which Fingolfin wounded Morgoth seven times with his sword Ringil. Yet, he was felled by Morgoth’s mace, Grond, and crushed beneath Morgoth’s foot. Fingolfin’s body was borne away by Thorondor, King of Eagles. Morgoth was permanently scarred by these wounds and from then on walked with a limp. Many accounts hold he never left his fortress again during the wars.”
- wikipedia: Silmarillion
Not to say at all Morgoth is not powerful, but he was permantely scared by an elf warrior who had no superpowers. Of course, SS and Galactus have a long list of powers, such as matter malipulation, FTL speed, and etc…. I just don’t see how Team Evil here could pull of a win. If someone knows how, please tell.

I think the srfer would be flying at Sauron whilst morgoth and galactus duke it out, then be clothes lined by a mace of pure evil magic off of hs board. Then Sauron would steal the bored, kil the surfer, and use the boards power to assist his master in destroying this so-called “gatekeeper”

haha. Galactus and Surfer in time for dinner.
Sauron was defeated by A SWORD wielded by A HUMAN. Admittedly it was an opportune swipe that resulted in him losing the ring of power, but nonetheless A HUMAN beat him. Surfer would look at sauron and he’d crumble.
Surfer would then get swatted by Morgoth, distracting Morgoth for a bit while Galactus nullifies the bastard. Goodnight Irene.

Morgoth’s power shaped existence. Sure Galactus eat’s planets, but he didnt cause the big bang to occur, far from it. Morgoth shaped the laws and rules to reality with Eâ (God).
Morgoth and Sauron would win on infinity clause. If Galactus were to try anything against Morgoth or even Sauron his mind (while near infinite) would be destroyed instantaneously. He would become a puppet of either of them.
Morgoth did get harmed by Fingolfin, but that only goes to show how insanely strong Fingolfin is. Their fight lasted for fourteen years straight.
I don’t even consider the Silver Surfer a contestant.

“Galactus didn’t cause the big bang to occur”
What? Galactus is the beggining and the end of the 616 universe,he started he’ll end it and then re-start it.
Also,you do know that Galactus is carrying around a universe-buster (The Ultimate Nullifier) ?

“Galactus also requires his armor to help regulate internal energies. As Galactus must continuously feed to sustain himself, his power levels are inconsistent throughout any given period. For this reason, Earth’s heroes have been able to achieve various degrees of success in repelling, or defeating, a starving, weakened Galactus. A starving, weakened Galactus has shown susceptibility to the Images of Ikonn spell, which forces him to recall all of the beings he has destroyed as a result of his feeding” From the mouth of Jack Kirby, the creator of Galactus.
I’ll grant that he is ancient as time itself, and can survive through Big Bang’s and possible Big Crunch’s, he exists as a subset of the universe(s). He exists inside of them, Morgoth is a superset to the universe, he exists outside of them. He cannot be killed or even harmed in his non-corporeal form (the one that has power).
Both characters are anthropomorphic personifications, one is of the cosmos, and the other of destruction.
regardless of who would win (morgoth!) It would be a nasty fight to behold

“Morgoth’s power shaped existence. Sure Galactus eat’s planets, but he didnt cause the big bang to occur, far from it. Morgoth shaped the laws and rules to reality with Eâ (God).”
Mate, I believe you are mistaken. Ilúvatar (“Father of All”) created the Ainur (the Valar and maiar) and he then showed them a theme, from which he bade them make a great music. Melkor—whom Ilúvatar had given the “greatest power and knowledge” of all the Ainur decided to go off and create his own theme of music (reminds me of Paradise Lost). Some Ainur joined him, while others continued to follow Ilúvatar, causing discord in the music. This happened thrice, with Eru Ilúvatar successfully overpowering his subordinate with a new theme each time. Ilúvatar then stopped the music and showed them a vision of Arda (the world) and its peoples. The vision disappeared after a while, and Ilúvatar offered the Ainur a chance to enter into Arda and to GOVERN over the new world.
Morgoth does not ever “create” anything. He did not create Arda, but helped (or some would say, harmed) Arda, by constantly destroying what the Valar (the good Ainur that serve Eru) tried to shape. I agree, that he is outside the physical reality of the world, but this does not mean he was able to create anything new. He could only create mockeries of life (orcs, trolls, dragons, and etc.).
