Stardust (Lambda-Zero) is a character appearing in the comic books published by Marvel Comics and existing in that company's Marvel Universe. Stardust is one of the many Heralds of Galactus. Unlike most of Galactus's Heralds, Stardust seeks to kill all who attempt to escape the planets that Galactus feeds upon, an action that Galactus neither requires nor forbids.

In Annihilation , Stardust resurfaces and helps battle Annihilus' Annihilation Wave, which kills most of the Ethereal. [3] [1] [4] She later kills the remaining Ethereal in self-defense and absorbs their energy. [1]
