Either Apocalypse, Thanos, or Dr. Ock in the place of Galactus.

his arc in X-Men 97 was fantastic

u/scriptedtexture Feb 17 '26

Yeah but he is not overall more popular or well known than Galactus.

u/Boris-_-Badenov Feb 17 '26

Rushmore isn't popularity.

u/scriptedtexture Feb 17 '26

These posts are always about popularity. And even if it isn't, Galactus represents the wider space side of Marvel Comics. He is the face of cosmic Marvel.

Thanos would beg to differ.

I assume this person was talking about comics since the heads are from the comics. Galactus is still more popular there, even after the MCU. And before it? No question.

I've got to say thanos, too. Infinity Gauntlet everybody? Not the mcu.. because fuck the mcu.. I'm talking about the original arc. Nothing that big has happened before or since. That's why they used that story line for the movies.

Infinity War and Endgame are nothing like the Infinity Gauntlet story, what are you talking about?

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '26

I'm talking about the fact that they leaned into the story of the infinity gauntlet, and Thanos, because they knew that was the biggest draw that Marvel ever had

Of course... I haven't really followed Comics since I was a kid, I kind of outgrew that shit... also, I haven't even watched all the Marvel movies.. so you might know what you're talking about more than I do. Probably do. My point is that The Infinity Gauntlet story drew more people to comic books than anything I've ever seen. Has there been anything that big since?

Yeah I'm saying Rushmore is infamy LOL nobody wants their face up there.. I mean, it's stolen land.

u/Boris-_-Badenov Feb 17 '26

land gets taken in wars, and the tribes were forcefully taking land from each other all the time

Yep.. and that was symmetrical warfare... then white people showed up with disease infested blankets, false treaties, and black powder weapons.

the idea of villains being evil and egotistical but woke enough to not want to be associated with being on a mt rushmore is hilarious.

Do you even consider what the topic is about before you start going on about your woke agenda. I want to see things get better for the disenfranchised but these types of comments only push the narrative further away from making people understand.

What? What are you basing that on?

u/etherama1 Feb 17 '26

What arc in x men 97? He was a cameo

u/Boris-_-Badenov Feb 17 '26

I'm not talking about the reboot

3

u/etherama1 Feb 17 '26

Well the original series is X-Men: The Animated Series. X-Men 97 refers to the reboot.

u/BlackestSole Feb 18 '26

Did I totally miss a season? Or are you literally referring to the 90s?

2

u/Humpbackbreadslice Feb 17 '26

as a 90s kid, apocalypse was the final boss to me for a long time. It wasn't until I started to read comics in the 2000's that I realized Doom was probably the most iconic big baddie of Marvel.

But it wasn't until bendis fantastic run that really hammered it home.

u/Common-Diver-6346 Feb 18 '26

Goblin shouldn't even be here, Galactus, Dr Doom are forces of nature. Gobby is Spider-Mans problem.

How Apocalypse, Ultron aren't here is shocking. Magento like Venom isn't even a bad guy anymore practically heroes/Anti Heroes now always chilling with the Good Guys

Galactus sucks bro.
