Zap You with The Ultimate Nullifier

Written by Kal-El

How do we suppose to stop one of the galaxy's supervillain from eating another planet, which includes our planet earth?

Well oddly enough,there is a device for which is called The Ultimate Nullifier. It Is a device that can eliminate from existence anything that the bearer chooses. It is powerful enough to destroy entire timelines if the bearer is of sufficient intellect and power.

The Ultimate Nullifier appears as a small hand-held silvery-metallic device with little or no apparent functionality, though it is possible that like Galactus, it appears differently depending on who is observing it.

The Ultimate Nullifier is capable of destroying any target the bearer directs the Nullifier at, if the bearer lacks the proper control, concentration, or power; the Nullifier will destroy the bearer as well and possibly the universe itself. While the origins of the Nullifier are largely unknown, it had been revealed that the Ultimate Nullifier is an aspect of Galactus himself. It is the only known object known to inspire fear in Galactus.

It was first given to Reed Richards by the Watcher (That's right Uatu if your reading this, The Watcher!!) then when Galactus first appeared to devour earth. Reed threatened to use it against Galactus which Galactus became frightened so he left earth never to try to eat it again unless he was really hungry.

It later appeared during the Infinity War when Galactus had left Thanos and a number of Earth’s heroes aboard his starship as Galactus to plead his case on behalf of Adam Warlock to allow the Infinity Gems to function as one. As soon as he left the Magus appeared and kidnapped Warlock. Leaving Thanos with little in the way of options inquired about the Ultimate Nullifier’s location of Susan Storm. Nervously she betrayed it’s location with a look. Thanos picked it up and offered it to Quasar, saying that only a man as resolved and self-sacrificing as Quasar should fire the weapon at the Magus.

When Quasar arrives in the Magus’ dimension he is blanketed with an energy dampening field which disrupted the Nullifier, but not the Quantum-bands. When the controls of the dampening field were later damaged by Dr. Doom and Kang the Conqueror, Quasar was able to activate and slowly build power in the Nullifier, only to have it devastating effect turned against him by the Magus wielding an incomplete Infinity Gauntlet that was empowered by the Living Tribunal.

Later, Abraxas, the embodiment of destruction attempted to destroy Galactus with the Nullifier, but Galactus demonstrated an ability to effortlessly call the Nullifier to his person.

During the JLA/Avengers crossover, the Ultimate Nullifier was one of twelve items of power (six from the Marvel Universe, six from the DC Universe) that were scattered about the two parallel Earths, among the Infinity Gems, the Casket of Ancient Winters, the Wand of Watoomb, the Evil Eye of Avalon and the Cosmic Cube. When the Nullifier was found by the JLA, the Martian Manhunter was nearly overwhelmed by the power of the Nullifier as he merely examined it.

In other Media of Marvel: Ultimate Alliance the game, one of the missions involves finding the damaged Ultimate Nullifier in Castle Doom. If you successfully find the Ultimate Nullifier, Mister Fantastic will repair it and use it one day to prevent Mephisto from entering Earth and invading it before all is lost. If the Nullifier isn't found, Mephisto is still repelled, but only after heavy casualties.
