Bullet Points 3: Or Why I Don't Write for a Living (late 1960s)

 Ok, so we've set everything up. What's the main plot then?


Things are certainly similar things but there will be some differences. Things go crazy with a sudden influx of alien refugees. They aren't running from war or economics though. 

Nope, they are running from Galactus. This is met with some skepticism but the scientists (Richards, Banner, etc.) figure this might be a problem so they focus all their efforts on stopping the giant purple man from eating the planet. 

The Silver Surfer arrives and things go to hell fast. He plows through the Avengers; even the Hulk gets smacked down, but the Surfer is knocked from his board and lands near the unassuming home of Steve and Peggy Rogers. 

From there the Surfer and Steve have a chat and Steve convinces the Surfer to side with the Earth. When Galactus shows up, he is rather annoyed that his herald is siding with his lunch. Reed Richards, working furiously from the moon base, stumbles on the Watcher and follows him back to his home. From there he gets beamed into Galactus's massive ship where he finds the Ultimate Nullifier

The Nullifier, plus the Surfer's attack drives Galactus away. Steve is given the chance to wield the Power Cosmic, but he turns it down.
