In Marvel lore , there are characters like Deadpool whose ‘ healing ’ factor is actually a ‘ exit ’ factor that replicates dead tissue paper , and Hulk whose healing is supernaturally linked to a unholy dimension . However , equate to Galacta , their healing processes seem tamed .
InMarvel Assistant - Sized Spectacular#2 “ Galacta ( or , “ The World Eater ’s Daughter ” ) ” by Adam Warren and Hector Sevilla Lujan , devotee are stick in to Galacta , who explains on the nose how she satisfies her cosmic hunger . Like her beginner Galactus , Galacta must consume aliveness - energyto sustain herself . Though thanks to her Power Cosmic , Galacta can self - sustain for prospicient period of time , and can keep herself alive by eating the bare lower limit . That ’s how she ’s able-bodied to ‘ heal ’ in this definitely dreary way : by use up alien beast .
Anything that is alien and harmful to Planet Earth ( and the autochthonous life there ) is on Galacta ’s menu . While that seems straightforward enough , as Galacta has become something of Earth ’s protector while also sustaining her own living , the specifics of how she does so is where things get a small darkness . Primarily , Galacta tracks down humans afflict with alien diseases , scans their bodies , and squander the non - aboriginal creatures while get out the human safely intact .

Galacta’s Feeding Process is Unsettling, but Life Saving (& World Saving)
The idea of a cosmic god feeding on alien diseases that linger inside human beings without them experience is , indeed , unsettling , and more than a little freaky . However , as weird and dark as it is , it ’s really a life - save up summons . These multitude would die horrible deaths if not for Galacta , who - in this laughable alone - purges the body of one person who contracted a Skrull virus that human doctors could n’t detect or treat .
While she ’s save up case-by-case lives , Galacta ’s ‘ healing ’ process is far more good to the world than that . After feeding on the Skrull computer virus , Galacta tracks down a drove of planet - eating parasites of Kree blood line , which were in the process of stripping the Earth ’s heart and soul . If left unchecked , these creatures would have lend about the apocalypse , and no one on the control surface would have known what was pass until it was too later . Just as she stripped foreign diseases from a human body , Galacta healed the entire Earth the same manner .

Her maternity makes her ever - present hungriness ( which she is always observe at Laurus nobilis ) nearly impossible to ignore - and Galacta has steadfastly claimed Earth as her home . Not only could she miss control and consume the entire satellite , but the child she ’s yield life to could do the same , constitute her feeding process not only unsettling , but potentially world - ending .
While Galacta ’s continued existence on Earth may be a potential ticking sentence - bomb , she is still doing everything she can to not give in to her cosmic hunger , while also making the humans a better place with every meal she does allow herself . However , even at her best , the wayGalactus ’ girl ‘ heals ’ herself ( correspond with how she feeds herself ) is middling disgusting , and is arguably the darkest ‘ healing ’ big businessman inMarvel Comics .
