Neptune is much like Ego, The Living Planet

Pluto may not be a planet anymore, but in my book, neither is Neptune!!!  Not if it’s going around eating other planets and planetoids whilst stealing their moons.  Good gravy, what next?  Intragalactic feuds?

Here’s the skinny:  Neptune’s formation has always been a mystery.  Blah blah blah.  It may be a conglomeration of a few different planets coming together.  Yadda yadda yadda.  This theory is backed up by a suspicious heat lurking out of the bowels of Neptune itself.  Oh and p.s., Neptune’s moon of Triton is larger than our former favorite planet Pluto.

And that, my friends is why Neptune is like Marvel’s Ego.  The mere fact that planets can snack on other cosmic entities gives me the willies.  (Just like Ego.)
