Yeah, probably a good thing that Galactus demanded it back (and Uatu convinced Reed Galactus could be trusted not to go back on his word) in the comic this is based on.
Galactus did say Uatu had “given a match to children who live in a tinderbox,” and he definitely wasn’t wrong.
But the point made in this comic here was also valid, that that match wasn’t any worse during such a situation as having no match at all. Without it everyone and everything on Earth was certain to die, they could choose to die alone or take down their killer with them with the latter at least giving them a chance to cause their killer to back off and leave them alone because they don’t consider dying with the insects worth it. Sometimes Mutually Assured Destruction works as a deterrence.
There we go, a nod to how poor Reed’s security often seems to be if he even has any at all for something. Their headquarters gets broken into with great regularity and a lot of idiots end up triggering things that they’ve no idea what they are and nearly destroy the city or worse.
Always nice to point a gun at someone’s head whose trigger is also on a button linked to a nuke under your feet that you didn’t know about till AFTER your enemy backs down.
Oh, so this is a reboot arc, cool.

Man, that thing in Shittropolis, this cannot end well.
Could also be the safest place, it’s just a matter of time before some villain (or even Hero) tries to harness its power, and ends up nerfing it.
I trust mayor Kurgh to be the voice of reason needed in these trying times.
Kurg will have to pry it from his cold, dead hands… And Kurg has not problems about that.

Someone uses their spider sense to circumvent security and to prank Johnny.
Fortunately, he has several alternate copies of him to help him boost his confidence (some of them with their own version of the Infinity Gauntlet)
To be fair, if it kills “Galactus” it does not matter whether its intended blast radius is one galaxy.
It does to the inhabitants of that galaxy!
If Galctus dies the entire universe dies, inclunding that galaxy.
If killing Galactus destroys the universe, then the blast radius is the universe, not one galaxy.
That is why I wrote “To be fair, if it kills “Galactus” it does not matter whether its intended blast radius is one galaxy.”
Man, this guy takes ALL the fun out of victory. Whatta jerk!

If I had a nickel for every time that’s happened to me…
I can relate too…
Wow, so the Watcher guy gave stretch a nuke to kill a spider, type deal
He best put that in a anti grav field or something
As some people can attest, when you find a spider in your house, Nuke it from orbit is the only way to be sure…
And then Pony vaporizes it with his lasers ending the threat forever, thus making sure the good doctor has to create a convincing replica of it.
Dude, like where’s the surfer dude?
Catching some waves, dude?
It looks like the the bat-walky-talky from the 1965 series,
