Galactus is the product of the union between the "Sentience of the [previous] Universe" and Galan.[11] He has been described as "the physical, metamorphosed embodiment of a cosmos" [30] and "the most awesome living entity in the cosmos."[31] Galactus wields the Power Cosmic and can employ it to produce nearly any effect he desires, including the molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter,[32][33][34] the teleportation of objects — even an entire galaxy[35] — across space [36] or time,[37] size-alteration,[35] the projection of energy with indeterminable destructive force,[38] the erection of nearly impenetrable force fields,[32] the creation of interdimensional[39] and intra-dimensional portals,[40] telepathy,[41] telekinesis,[42] and a form of cosmic awareness.[43] Galactus has even shown the abilities to create sentient life,[44] simultaneously reconstitute himself and others from complete physical destruction,[45] resurrect the dead,[46][47] manipulate mortal souls[48] as well as memories and emotions,[49] and restore dead planets along with their population in every detail.[49]

As King of the Norse Gods, Odin possesses superhuman strength; durability and courtesy of the Golden Apples of Idunn, a greatly extended lifepsan. Odin is capable of manipulating the Odin Force - a source of magical energy - for a number of purposes, including energy projection; creation of ilusions and force fields; levitation; molecular manipulation and teleportation. The character has also used the Odinpower for greater feats such as transporting the entire human race to an alternate dimension;[21] compressing the population of an entire planet into a single being, the Mangog[22] and taking a soul away from the arch-demon Mephisto.[23]
Jezo, if Galactus can do all that, why does he need to absorb a planets energy?

Powers
Galactus possesses the immeasurable Power Cosmic and is one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe. He has even been referred to as "the most powerful creature in the universe." As such, Galactus is able to employ the limitless cosmic energy within him to produce virtually any effect he desires. A few of the abilities he has displayed are:
Size-Alteration: Ability to alter the physical size of persons or objects.
Molecular Restructuring: Ability to physically alter persons or objects through the manipulation of their comprising molecules.
Matter Transmutation: Ability to directly convert one form of matter into another form of matter. e.g. turning lead into gold.
Cosmic Teleportation: Ability to teleport beings and objects—even entire galaxies—across space and time. This ability also allows him to teleport himself.
Cosmic Force-Fields: Ability to erect completely impenetrable energy fields.
Cosmic Energy Projection: Ability to project energy with incalculable force.
Interdimensional & Intradimensional Portals: Ability to create wormholes between dimensions and within dimensions.
Cosmic Telepathy: Ability to read or communicate with other minds across universal distances.
Cosmic Telekinesis: Ability to move virtually unlimited amounts of mass through mental concentration.
Cosmic Awareness: Ability to sense disturbances or changes within the cosmic ether on a universal scale.
Resurrection: Ability to raise the dead. This ability also allows him to raise himself from death.
Creation: Ability to create complex, sentient, biological life-forms from nothing.
Soul Manipulation: Ability to manipulate the souls of living beings.
Recreation: Ability to remake even an entire Solar System, including populations, the planets etc in every detail.
Power Bestowal: Galactus' heralds, whom he has endowed with a minuscule fraction of his cosmic power, are able to manipulate matter and energy in ways far beyond human comprehension.
Vitakinesis: Galactus is able to heal himself and others from all physical wounds although this may simply be molecular reconstruction.

Weaknesses
Cosmic Hunger: Galactus requires unknown energies obtainable only from a certain type of planets in order to sustain his life. The suitable type of planet need not to be one where life is present, but it must have the potential to support life. When recently sated Galactus is effectively omnipotent; however, the longer he goes without feeding the more his strength, power, and cosmic awareness wane. Indeed, over one month after consuming a suitable planet his power will have already been reduced exponentially, although in such a hungered state his powers are still far beyond mortal comprehension. In recent times Galactus has been known to go without feeding for numerous months at a time bringing him to the brink of death and reducing his power to such a degree he actually becomes partially susceptible to direct attacks from superhuman teams such as the Shi'ar Imperial Guard, Avengers, the Fantastic Four etc although even in this significantly weakened state of power, he is still more powerful than the superhuman teams combined and still one of the most powerful beings in the Universe. When the universe was still young, Galactus could go without feeding for over century before his hunger weakened him to a significant degree, why the intervals between his feedings has decreased over the millenia is unknown.

I thought his ship was some kinda crazy, fractal-looking thing.
