I am not a god. I have never created life... but I have lived. That is enough.

So I will fight to
preserve that same opportunity -- to love, to dream, to soar among the stars -- for all those
yet to come. Many lives will be lost in the battle ahead -- but their efforts will ensure that
some remain to remember their deeds. And, like the gods, they will truly live forever... even
after they are gone. - Silver Surfer

Build Comments: The mighty Silver Surfer, longtime herald of Galactus and one of the
great dichotomies in comics: a totally 70’s, kinda goofy comic concept that actually still
looks cool. I mean, a naked bald silver guy riding a surfboard? A cosmic surfboard? Really?
To think that advanced alien species would have such a concept, not to mention the fact that a
guy that is as old as time itself who goes around eating planets and empowers his heralds
with massive cosmic power doles out a SURFBOARD?

But you know what? It looked cool then and it looks cool now. Logic be damned. The Silver
Surfer rocks.

Secret Origins: Norrin Radd is from the utopian planet Zenn-La, in the Deneb star system of
the Milky Way galaxy. He is the son of Jartan and Elmar Radd, and he has a half-brother,
Fennan Radd. Zenn-La's ancient and significantly advanced civilization has lost the will to
strive or explore, leaving the young scholar Norrin Radd restless and yearning for adventure.
Facing the destruction of his world by planet-consuming Galactus, Radd bargained with the
cosmic being. In return for the safety of Zenn-La and his lover, Shalla-Bal, Radd pledges to
seek out planets for the world devourer to consume as his herald. Galactus imbues him with a
portion of the Power Cosmic, transforming him into the Silver Surfer.

The Story so Far: Radd serves Galactus for an unspecified amount of time. Eventually, the
Surfer summons his master to Earth. Here the Surfer meets the Fantastic Four and Alicia
Masters. Touched by their nobility, he rebels against Galactus, who is eventually driven off.
Before he leaves, he confines the Surfer to Earth with an invisible barrier that affects only
him.

During his exile, the Surfer fights numerous villains, including Doctor Doom, who wants his
Power Cosmic, and Mephisto, who wants his soul. Banding together with the Hulk and
Namor the Sub-Mariner during these wanderings, the Surfer forms the "Titans Three," a
group dedicated to battling evil on Earth. Soon, Doctor Strange joins the group and it
becomes "The Defenders." Surfer stays with them for a while, but his overwhelming desire to
be free of Earth and his frequent collisions with Galactus' energy-draining barrier eventually
drive him to leave the group.

The Surfer finally pierces Galactus' barrier with the aid of Reed Richards and temporarily
escapes Earth. He doon discovered that his homeworld has been ravaged by Galactus and
Shalla-Bal has been abducted by Mephisto and taken to Earth. Even though it means trapping
himself once more, the Surfer returned to Earth to battle and defeat Mephisto. Before being
vanquished, Mephisto sends Shalla-Bal back to Zenn-La, but the Surfer managed to endow
her with a portion of his Power Cosmic, which she used to revitalize the plant life of their
ravaged homeworld.

After the Surfer aided the Fantastic Four against Galactus' latest herald, Terrax, Surfer finally
managed to pierce Galactus' barrier by acting on the Thing's suggestion of trying to pass
through on a spaceship instead of via his own power on his surfboard. He also manages to
make peace with Galactus by rescuing his current herald, Nova (Frankie Raye), from the
Skrulls and encounters the Champion, after which Galactus finally declares the Surfer's long
exile ended. He immediately revisited his homeworld, but Shalla-Bal, in his absence, had
become empress of the rejuvenated Zenn-La and hence unable to renew their romance.

Over the years, The Surfer repeatedly battles space-born menaces including Thanos, the
insane former herald Morg, Tyrant and others. He briefly returned to Galactus’ service after
the Annihilation Wave event, but has since been released and has continued to serve the
cosmos and assist Earth’s heroes when needed.

Characterization: One of the noblest and most tormented cosmic entities in the universe, the
Silver Surfer treasures freedom above all else, but has often sacrificed his liberty for the
greater good.

Friends and Foes: He remains on good terms with Galactus, even when he is not acting as
his herald despite their complicated history. He also often works with other Heralds, although
Stardust is quite jealous of him since she believes that the Surfer remains Galactus’ most
favored Herald.

He has many allies on his adopted homeworld of Earth incluing the Fantastic Four, his former
Defenders teammates and Superman.
