7 Characters That Could Have Taken Out Galactus in The Fantastic Four: First Steps

The story *Fantastic Four: First Steps* takes place in an alternate universe (Earth-828) where the Fantastic Four are the only superheroes. This makes their eventual success feel more impactful because they’re truly on their own. But if Galactus had arrived in the main Marvel Cinematic Universe (Earth-616), things would have been very different. That universe is already filled with incredibly powerful beings who have dealt with huge threats before. Many of these characters could likely have stopped Galactus, and perhaps even more easily than the Fantastic Four did. Here are seven MCU characters who we think could have defeated Galactus.

7 Essential Comics to Read at Halloween

As a huge movie and comic book fan, I’ve always been fascinated by how certain horror comics really set the standard for the genre. What’s even cooler is that so many of them became incredibly popular films and TV shows! And honestly, with Halloween right around the corner, these particular comics just *feel* right – they really capture the spooky, monster-filled spirit of the holiday.

Ambrosia Sky is one of the most unique science-fiction games I’ve played — and you’ll be able to play part of it soon

I got a chance to play a demo of Ambrosia Sky during Summer Game Fest 2025, and I was immediately impressed by the game’s unique world, which Soft Rains is building. I recently played another demo during Steam Next Fest, and it’s even better.

This new version includes several updates, most notably voice acting for the character Dalia. Her voice adds a lot of emotion to an already atmospheric game. It’s often subtle, but very effective, especially because Dalia is usually alone while trying to figure out what happened.

In the earlier demo from June, Dalia had access to many different sprayers, but this demo changes that. It introduces a skill tree that lets you upgrade those sprayers by collecting different types of fruit.

ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X and Xbox Ally review roundup — Here’s what critics are saying about Microsoft’s new partner gaming handhelds

The team at Windows Central has had a chance to test both the Xbox Ally X and the standard Xbox Ally. Gaming editor Rebecca Spear reviewed both devices, with input from executive editor Jez Corden. She gave the higher-end Ally X a 4.5 out of 5, highlighting its comfortable design and ability to run demanding games like Final Fantasy 16. The regular Ally received a 4 out of 5, also praised for its comfort, but noted to have performance similar to the Steam Deck and a slightly shorter battery life.

I’m personally excited about the Xbox Ally X, but the price is currently too high for me.

Good news for those looking to buy one – both the Xbox Ally X and the standard Xbox Ally are scheduled to be released in most countries on October 16, 2025.

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been tracking early releases from the company, and it’s been interesting to see a mix of previews. They’ve shared some builds from their upcoming 24H2 and 25H2 releases, but also some experimental features that aren’t necessarily tied to any specific version. It gives a good look at what they’re exploring.
