Lines: 14 From: Mike Ciaraldi I presume you have read the latest FF where Reed is acquitted on the charge of illegally letting Galactus live. After Uatu the Watcher explains that Galactus is an important part of the overall scheme of the Universe (Multi-Verse? Are there parallel Galactuses (Galacti?)), he points out that Galactus tests civilizations, and that some day he will meet one that has the power to destroy him. Presumably, that is part of the plan of the universe, and proves something about the particular civilization. But Earth humans did have it in their power to destroy the big "G" (that's the point of the trial, after all), and did not exercise it. So, is Reed not guilty of frustrating the plan of the Universe?
