Galactus If this battle took place near the sun then Superman would be more likely to win. Along with that, they'd probably battle in space, where it's likely that there aren't any innocent bystanders, meaning that Superman could go all out. Even if Superman lost, he wouldn't go down without a fight & Galactus would've struggled in the fight. So, I'm either going to keep my vote on Superman or I'm changing it to neutral.
Galactus I remembered that one time the blue Boy Scout became the herald of Galactus in Superman fantastic four vol 1 published in 1999 by Daniel Jurgens
Galactus I think Galactus is on a completely different power level than Superman - Galactus is almost a capital "G" god. He's an entity or Cosmic Being, not a physical being.
Think of it this way; Superheroes like SpiderMan, Iron Man, Batman, Wolverine, etc are of a different level than regular humanity.
The gods and similar beings (Thor, Hercules, Wonder Woman, Silver Surfer, The Eternals, Captain Marvel, Elders of the Universe, etc) are of a level that far above "normal" super beings (Superman is roughly in this range. he's managed to beat Thor but it took all he had to do it).
Above those powerhouses are their Leaders - Beings like Zeus and Odin - Odin can, and has, simply took Thor's power away from him. Zeus has done the same with Hercules. I'd guess Phantom Stranger and Maybe the Guardians of the Unverse fit here.
Above these beings are entities -beings that the Asgardian and Olympian Gods call Gods. Death, and Eternity (essentially Life - the opposite of Death, manifest as a being) consider Galactus their brother. Thanos often manages to get powered up to this level when he's trying to detroy the Universe (he has a thing for death and believes that if he killed everyone, she'd have to recognize him. I'd guess Darseid around here at times also.
Galactus doesn't really feel physical discomfort a*except his all encompassing hunger) and physical attacks, at most, cause problems with his outfit - which is actually a containment suit he uses to help localize his power. If it tears, it would take some time to regather the energy and repair the suit. So, Superman, could theoretically manage to get past Galactus with such a maneuver. If punctured; controlling the massive amounts of power unleashed...read giant explosion! would be difficult. This wouldn't hurt Galactus, but would destroy the solar system he happened to be in at the time. And most likely Superman, if he was still close by.
But, he doesn't need that kind of outlay of power anyway - Galactus can transmute elements. He could turn...everything around him into green kryptonite at whim.
