In one iconic Marvel Comics storyline, Annihilus leads the Annihilation Wave out of the Negative Zone in an effort to take over the universe, but is foiled by several cosmic superheroes. This epic story could be adapted for the MCU, and the foundations may be laid in The Fantastic Four.

Molecule Man had a huge part to play in 2015's Secret Wars story, too, as Reece is capable of absorbing the powers of the otherworldly Beyonders.

One of these worlds is Earth, but Galactus is defeated by his Herald, the Silver Surfer, with the help of the Fantastic Four.
