From Johnny's Profile:
Later on an alien named Zius would come to Earth in order to find the one person in the galaxy who could neutralize the powers of a special invisibility machine used to cloak planets from the world devourer, Galactus. They came in search of Sue Richards, but with Reed's quick thinking he developed a machine which would switch powers with any of his teammates. He used the machine on Sue and thus had her and Johnny switch abilities. Sue able to generate fire and Johnny able to turn invisible and shape force-fields. The ruse worked and Zius left Earth believing that Sue would no longer pose a threat.
Only minutes afterward Galactus came to Earth to seek out a new herald. The intended target was meant to be Sue Storm due to her powerful invisibility powers, however since her powers were switched with Johnny's, Galactus took him instead. Thus started the adventure of Johnny Storm as a herald of Galactus. When he realized what had happened he stalled for as long as he could, in order to stop Galactus from feeding on any planets. He tried to convince the natives of what was to come, but because he was a herald they didn't want anything to with him. He even got attacked by an alien, who was easily defeated by Johnny's newfound powers, as well as the awesome powers of the Power Cosmic. Meanwhile on Earth, the FF, were readying themselves to save Johnny. Enlisting the help of Quasar they went off in search of Galactus and Johnny.
Johnny in his desperation to save any planets, tried to convince Galactus to stop, but Galactus was hungering and he needed to be fed. Johnny, in one last effort recounted Galactus' tale back to the man in the hat, which bought enough time for Quasar and the Fantastic Four to appear. There he and Reed concocted a plan, which ended up in Galactus turning into his form from before the old universe died. He turned into Galan. They took him to Earth, where they tried to teach Galan the value of life. Shortly afterward, Reed tried to switch powers between Sue and Johnny, but a mishap happened and they were forced to chase after their powers in different parts of New York. Eventually the Fantastic Four gained their original powers back.
