The Hungriest Comic Book Characters

Galactus, the devourer of worlds, is known for being ravenous all the time. The villain has loomed large since he first appeared in Stan Lee and Jack Kirby's work.Fantastic FourGalactus appeared in the mid-'60s with a desire to consume Earth.

The guy does not eat food normally (unless you grew up eating planets), but one of the most famous comic book villains knows how to eat and look great while doing it. That fabulous purple helm shows it takes a confident cosmic entity to pull that off.

X-Men villain The Blob is a big guy. This leads to comic panels where he enjoys a meal or two. Look at how the character was shown in everyone's favorite superhero film, X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

No list of hungriest comic book characters is complete without a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. We pick Michelangelo, the pizza-lovingest of the bunch.

No other character in popular culture is as linked to pizza as this party dude. He eats pizza for every meal. When you get Batman, the greatest comic book curmudgeon, to sit down andhave a slicewith you, you deserve serious consideration.

If Thor counts as one of the hungriest comic book characters, then Volstagg deserves consideration asthehungriest comic book character. This boisterous Warriors Three member is a loving, jovial man who likes to eat, fight, and then eat again.

As a supporting figure, he gets less attention or story action than many other similarly hungry comic characters. But this guy likes "chocolate malted milk" so much, he treats it like alchemy.

When Bruce Banner turns into the not-so-jolly green giant, the result is a big guy needing much food to fuel all that anger-infused energy. The Ultimate Universe counterpart differs from the main Marvel Comics Hulk; that version is basically a giant cannibal.

The Jughead of Archie Comics differs from the Jughead ofJughead Jones is in Riverdale.. This is not surprising, asJughead Jones is in Riverdale.is an overblown teen drama; the world of Archie Comics is goofier.

In comics, Jughead's reality centers on his love of food. He eats everything. He wants to eat anything and everything. Could we all eat a week's worth of food in an hour without gaining weight?

The Merc with a Mouth is a strange guy. He obsesses over chimichangas, both food and words, and once made 300,000 pancakes as a joke.

His mutant powers keep him in peak physical shape regardless of what he eats, so he can eat what he wants and still fit into his red spandex.

Cheetah seems odd on the surface. She is a lithe villain who acts animalistic, but you might not think her hunger is top-tier. Look closer; her whole persona is based on hunting prey.
