Born Norrin Radd on the idyllic planet Zenn-La, to save
his homeworld he volunteered to serve the planet-eating
entity Galactus, who travels the universe looking for
energy-rich planets to consume. Galactus accepted the
young mortal's sacrifice and imbued him with a portion
of the Power Cosmic transforming him into the Silver Surfer.
He served Galactus for an unspecified amount of time until
he came to the planet Earth. On Earth the Surfer encountered
a number of individuals whose nobility and honor touched
him such as the Fantastic Four and their companion Alicia
Masters. The Surfer chose to rebel against Galactus and
attempted to prevent his master from consuming the Earth.
Galactus was eventually driven off but as punishment for
his rebellion the Surfer was confined to Earth thanks
to a barrier which affected only him.
