History
In order to efficiently locate worlds with which to feed, Galactus will employ beings known as his heralds whose job it is to seek out worlds that will sustain him and satisfy his insatiable hunger. Heralds are imbued with portion of Galactus' power, an energy known as the Power Cosmic.
The Power Cosmic gives his heralds special abilities often including the ability to survive in the vacuum of space, limited invulnerability, faster than light travel, and the ability to generate massive concussive blasts. Not all heralds are created equal though, and vary in power.
Many of Galactus' heralds wield weapons that can channel their cosmic energies. These items include the Silver Surfer's board, Firelord's staff, Stardust's staff, Red Shifts swords, and Terrax's axe.
Generally, Galactus has only one herald at a time.
