Heralds of Galactus

In order to efficiently locate worlds with which to feed, Galactus will employ beings known as his heralds whose job it is to seek out worlds that will sustain him and satisfy his insatiable hunger. Heralds are imbued with portion of Galactus' power, an energy known as the Power Cosmic. The Power Cosmic gives his heralds special abilities often including the ability to survive in the vacuum of space, limited invulnerability, faster than light travel, and the ability to generate massive concussive blasts.

Many of Galactus' heralds wield weapons that can channel their cosmic energies. These items include the Silver Surfer's board, Firelord's staff, Stardust's staff, Red Shifts swords, and Terrax's axe.

Current Heralds

Generally Galactus ony has one herald. During the events of the Annihilation, Galactus accepted the Silver Surfer as his herald once again. After the Annihilation, Stardust was proven worthy again by feeding the last of his race to Galactus. Because of his capture during the Annihilation, Galactus' hunger rages more than ever. Also because of Stardust's unparalleled display of allegance and Galactus' knowledge that eventually the Silver Surfer will betray him again, Galactus has allowed Stardust to carry on as a second herald with the Silver Surfer.
