There are certain things that work once, but just shouldn't be repeated. Home Alone was a sort of clever movie. A bit of a stretch conceptually, but not entirely unreasonable. Now, make a second movie of the same kid getting left behind again? Bad idea.
The same hold true in comic books. There are villains that can make a single story, and make it work. The problem is that any attempt to bring them back starts stretching the point.
So, our award winner, is none other than...
Yes, indeed, Galactus.
His first story? Brilliant. After that, there's only really been one story that worked... the entire John Byrne "Trial" storyline.
Otherwise, it's just "same old same old." Truly, a one trick pony. Great trick, but that horse has been beaten to death.
