Gigantus

Gigantus is a fictional planet featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is considered part of the mainstream Marvel Universe and plays heavily into the origin of a character called The Stranger.

Description
Gigantus is a planet located in the Andromeda Galaxy and is the home world of an extinct alien race known as the Gigantians. It was an ancient world and one of the most massive planets in the galaxy in terms of size. It had reached the maximum size and mass that a planet could achieve before fissioning into a sun. Other races, notably the Eternians, believed that the planet had become too large for conquest. Despite the fact that the Gigantians were a highly evolved pacifist society, the Eternians took the opportunity to attack them. When the Gigantians retaliated, they transferred all of their life energies into a single cosmic entity, which came to be known as The Stranger.
