	My problem with the "Trial of Reed Richards" is that it doesn't
make a whole lot of sense. Galactus "tests" civilizations. More to the
point, he tests civilizations that have a HUGH number of super powered
mutants (i.e. have been visited by the Eternals), he eats civilizations
without such creatures. If he had visited earth in 1843, there would have 
been nothing to stop him. If during his first visit the Silver Surfer hadn't
turned against him, he would have won. If he hadn't been VERY  weak during
the last encounter he would have won. I get the distinct impression that
Galactus at full strength is the most powerful thing in the Marvel Universe
(with the possible exception of Pheonix). I fail utterly to see what it
is that he is testing.
