A Battle Between Galactus and Khonshu Shows Who is Undeniably the Mightiest of These Two
The Marvel Universe boasts hundreds of immensely powerful characters, including cosmic entities and deities who rank highest in the power hierarchy.
Notably, a recent comic pits two of the franchise’s most powerful deities, Galactus and Khonshu, against each other in a battle that surprisingly reveals a clear victor. We’ll give you all the details below, but we warn: this post spoils the What If…? comic What If...? Galactus: Galactus Transformed Moon Knight? #1
What If...? Galactus: Galactus Transformed Moon Knight? (2025 series) #1
Moon Knight, in the comic, seeks a herald for the Devourer of Worlds, proposing Khonshu for the “honor.” Khonshu refuses, leading to a clash between them.
Galactus’s effortless victory over Khonshu demonstrates his overwhelming power, defeating a rejected Khonshu, left to die.
Galactus’s superior power over Khonshu is clear, given the extent of his showed abilities. Considering the Moon God’s power, we expected a closer match, but the Devourer of Worlds was evidently stronger.
By showcasing Galactus defeating Khonshu, this comic re-establishes Marvel’s power hierarchy, placing cosmic beings above the likes of ancient gods.
