You know, we really have to wonder why Marvel has never actually tried this in the comics. It’s not like everybody else hasn’t stuffed Galactus in a sack and beaten him with baseball bats. He can’t even handle some zombies.
Granted, this is in the 1995 Fantastic Four cartoon, which thinks that the Penance Stare functions like Satanic eyebeams, and also that Ghost Rider eats Quaaludes by the handful if the voice work is any indication.
Either way, every five years or so, I’m reminded that there are millions of kids out there who think the Devourer of Worlds wasn’t beaten by the Ultimate Nullifier, but by Nicolas Cage.
So, now it’s my turn to remind you.
It’d be awful, if it weren’t so funny.

Where was Ghost Rider when Galactus was devouring countless other planets? Fuckin’ earth racists. Terrans in Paris.
Oh, like anybody gave a crap about Taur anyway.
I mean, Galactus HAS probably ended more innocent lives than any other sentient being in the universe… if Ghost Rider’s stare is going to fuck up anyone, it’s probably him, lol
True, but he’s also a force of nature beyond good and evil, so you have to wonder whether Galactus would care. It’s like asking me to feel the pain of this plate of delicious nachos.
Kind of clever. I mean if Galactus could shrink himself down to fit in your average alleyway and Ghost Rider gave a damn and Galactus had any sense of conscience.
I mean, that’s the obstacle right? If he can’t feel guilt then the Penance stare is useless. You can’t guilt a robot or a stone.
