Silver Surfer is a
unique marvel character with amazing superhuman abilities. He is most fond of
his freedom, but at several occasions he has demonstrated that he is ready to
sacrifice his beloved freedom for the greater good.
The original name of
Silver Surfer is Norrin Radd. He is from the Planet Zenn-La from the star
system 'Deneb' of the Milky Way galaxy. The citizens of Planet Zenn-La are very
long lived and are technologically advanced compared to earth. They were
successful in creating a planet devoid of crime, disease, hunger, poverty and
extreme desires. This created a neutral environment where the people of Zenn-La
had lost will to strive or explore, look for challenges and thrill in life. In
this stifling environment, Norrin Radd had a nature of adventure and
enthusiasm.
Norrin was the son of Jartan Radd and Elmar Radd. Just like his
ambitious father, Norrin grew restless with the culture of the planet yearning
for adventure.
Norrin's father taught
and developed in him a like for enthusiasm, adventure, excitement, knowledge
seeking, exploration abilities. However, later in his life, Jartan would kill
himself frustrated by the false allegations of stealing an idea of a piece of
tech.
Norrin had a crush on
Shalla-Bal, but this love could not cure his restlessness for exploration. He
continued his struggle by involving himself in exploring the history of his
home planet.
His life took a new turn when his home planet Zenn-La was invaded
by a planet consumer giant power called Galactus. Due to the prevailing subtle
culture of the planet, no improvements were made in the military and defense
systems for a long time. So, the planet Zenn-La was a easy target for the
Galactus. After quickly assessing the situation, Norrin was able to convince
the military generals to provide him with a super spaceship which can reach
near to the Galactus. On the condition of safety of his planet ( especially his
crush Shalla-Bal), Norrin agreed to serve Galactus in finding new planets for
feeding.
Galactus agreed and
bestowed upon him with a portion of his cosmic energy. With his own power and
new cosmic power, this is how he turned into the Silver Surfer. With the new
energy, Norrin's skin turned into silver and got a silver surfing board into
which the cosmic energy was stored. The silver surfing board would provide him
with cosmic superpowers only until he was in touch with the board. Without the
board, he would lose his cosmic powers, but not his inherited natural powers.
It is said that, Norrin Radd agreed to serve Galactus with an idea to find only
uninhabited planets to feed. But, soon Galactus tampered with the soul of
silver surfer to lose his intellects.
