Product Backstory
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. He was born Norrin Radd on the planet Zenn-La, part of an ancient humanoid race that had created a utopia devoid of crime, disease, or want of any kind. Norrin was a grimly intellectual youth, encouraged to seek knowledge, advancement, and achievement rather than the aimless hedonism that dominated Zenn-Lavian society. Norrin grew into a restless soul who longed for challenge and struggle, immersing himself in histories of Zenn-La's adventurous ancient past.

Norrin's life changed forever when a menacing alien spacecraft pierced Zenn-La's long-neglected defense systems. Convincing a Council of Scientists to provide him with a spaceship, Norrin soon confronted the invader, Galactus, who intended to consume Zenn-La. Norrin offered to become his herald and seek out new worlds for him in exchange for Galactus sparing Zenn-La. Galactus agreed, transforming Norrin into a silver-skinned, cosmic-powered super-being. Known thereafter as the Silver Surfer, Norrin departed Zenn-La with Galactus.

The Surfer served Galactus well for many years, enjoying exploring the wonders of the universe; it became increasingly difficult, however for Radd to find energy-rich worlds devoid of sentient life. Over time, Galactus subtly altered the Surfer's mind, submerging Radd's emotions and repressing past memories. As a result, the Surfer became much more willing to lead Galactus to inhabited worlds. Locating Earth despite Uatu The Wathcher's attempts to ward him off, the Surfer caused widespread panic and fought the Fantastic Four. During this conflict, the Surfer met blind sculptress Alicia Masters, who pleaded with him to spare humanity. His long-dormant emotions stirred by what Alicia taught him of beauty and spirit, the Surfer turned on Galactus and forced him to withdraw. Erecting an energy barrier around the planet, Galactus trapping the Silver Surfer on Earth as a punishment for his betrayal.
