Silver Surfer
REAL NAME: Norrin Radd

To protect his home planet of Zenn-La from the world-devourer known as Galactus, young scientist Norrin Radd offered himself up to the cosmic being. Empowered as Galactu's herald, Radd now the Silver Surfer, was charged with seeking out other planets for Galactus to consume. But after years of servitude, the Surfer rebelled against his master, and now he roams the spaceways, fighting all evil as atonement for his regrettable past!

In the beginning...
The Silver Surfer was exiled to Earth by Galactus as punishment for his disobedience!
