Adolf Hitler / Galactus

Da Luz: "Galactus is a cosmic entity from Marvel Comics known as the World-Eater, or the World-Devourer. Hitler wanted to establish a New Order in continental Europe, but I bet if he was not stopped he would sure try to make that a New World Order. And with all the heavy propaganda, charismatic oratory, and firepower, he was the only dictator that actually could 'eat the world.' Plus I needed someone that could be easily recognizable inside the Galactus helmet. It's interesting how you can see it's him just by his eyes and moustache. But the real appeal for this one was the detail in the Galactus helmet -- a simple reshape of the original and it turned into a swastika."
