| Power
Cosmic granted by the astrogod
Galactus
enables god-like
strength, speed, stamina, agility, and invulnerability to all known
diseases and environments, and a heightened level of cosmic awareness
enabling the perception of all forms of energy and limited telepathy.
Ability to
channel cosmic energy can generate powerful force blasts or rearrange the
molecular structure of energy or mass. Manipulation
of cosmic energy can be used to heal the wounded or mesmerize others.
Indestructible "surfboard" responds to mental commands
and can achieve interstellar travel at greater than light speed.

Surfboard: Physically and psionically linked transportation device, resembling a
surfboard, capable of interstellar light speed travel made of presumably
the same substance which coats the Silver Surfer's body. Note: It is
reasoned that the Silver Surfer can utilize his cosmic abilities to fly
without the assistance of his board, but is able to conserve his energy by
not doing so.

Norin
Radd's life was altered forever when the world-devouring astrogod known as
Galactus came to consume his home
planet Zenn-La. Desperate to save his world, Radd struck a deal with
Galactus and became his herald - sent to search the galaxy for his
master's sustenance.
Arriving on
Earth the Silver Surfer and Galactus were resisted by the
Fantastic
Four. Touched by the humanity of a blind artist named Alicia Masters
the Silver Surfer rebelled against his master. Galactus retreated
Earth, but condemned his former herald to confinement on the planet he
sought to defend. Eventually
breaking his Earthy bond, he now soars the cosmic waves once again as the Silver
Surfer. |
