| HistoryText
| - Early Years
Norrin Radd lived on the peaceful planet Zenn-La . The Zenn-Lavians effectively eliminated the plagues commonly associated with human life on Earth such as hunger, disease, crime and war, the result of their quest for advancement and scientific discovery: effectively, they created a Utopian society. Norrin's parents were Jartran and Elmar Radd, who sadly both died during a interplanetary expedition.
Like his mother and father, Norrin also dreamed of a society that had more substance. He believed that no goals were left to be achieved on Zenn-La. He was filled with discontent and often went to the museum to watch holograms of Zenn-La's past that revolved around their wars and space travel. This often troubled his long-time lover, Shalla-Bal. She believed they had all they could ever want together, but Norrin always dreamed of more.
As Herald of Galactus
One day their peaceful existence was threatened by the presence of Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds, who subsists on the energies provided by entire planets. The Council of Scientists let Norrin use a spaceship to approach Galactus and plead for the sake of the planet. Seeing the hopeless situation of his home planet, Norrin Radd volunteered servitude, becoming a Herald of the Devourer of Worlds in order to spare Zenn-La from obliteration. Galactus accepted. Given a fraction of the Power Cosmic, and shaped by fantasies Norrin Radd entertained as a child, Galactus transformed Norrin Radd into the Silver Surfer. The Silver Surfer's main task was to find planets with the energy to satisfy Galactus’ hunger. Over time it became more difficult to find planets without life on them. Knowing Norrin Radd would resist taking a life, Galactus deliberately altered Norrin's mind to repress his moral compass, allowing Norrin Radd to carry out his grim task of finding suitable planets to feed on. A decidedly introspective character plagued by the sins of his past, Norrin Radd forever seeks redemption, endeavoring to carry out justice throughout the universe.Arrival on Earth
The Silver Surfer’s introduction begins with the Surfer bringing Galactus to Earth. In turn, Norrin was confronted by the Fantastic Four, who detected his presence. They fought for a while but eventually, Ben Grimm's girlfriend Alicia Masters, manages to reach Norrin Radd’s more human side, ultimately awakening his conscience that Galactus managed to suppress for many years.Rebellion as Herald
After his realization, The Surfer and the Fantastic Four finally interrupts and confronts Galactus, turning on his master much to Galactus' surprise. The Surfer was easily dispatched by Galactus but Reed ultimately manages to repel Galactus with the ultimate nullifier, finally stopping Galactus' plans on devouring Earth, dispatching him from the planet and saving the day. After that, the Silver Surfer became one of the Fantastic Four and other several superheroes of Earth's oldest and most trusted allies.
