Info on the Silver Surfer

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SARGUNAN AND JEFF

Today is the start of the Cancer star

Right now I am gonna talk abt the cosmic being who stole the thunder from the superhero quartet in the Fantastic Four movie sequel... ermmm, you should know his name already, don't you? :-p

The Silver Surfer was originally Norrin Radd, a young astronomer from the planet Zenn-La. In order to save his homeworld from destruction by a fearsome cosmic entity known as Galactus, Norrin made a bargain with the being by which he pledged himself to serve as its herald. Imbued in return with a small portion of Galactus' Power Cosmic, Norrin acquired great powers, a silvery appearance, and a surfboard-like vehicle — all modeled after a childhood fantasy of his. Known from then on as the Silver Surfer, Norrin began to roam the cosmos searching for new planets for Galactus to consume. When his travels finally took him to Earth, the Surfer came face to face with the Fantastic Four, a team of powerful superheroes that helped him to rediscover his nobility of spirit. Betraying Galactus, the Surfer saved Earth but was punished in return with everlasting exile there.

POWER AND ABILITIES

The Silver Surfer wields the "Power Cosmic", absorbing and manipulating the universe's cosmic energy, and is almost totally indestructible. He can navigate through space, hyperspace, and dimensional barriers, and he can fly at near-limitless speeds on his board, entering hyperspace when he exceeds light speed. He has even proven capable of time travel on occasion. The Surfer, who sustains himself by converting matter into energy, does not require food, drink, air, or sleep. He is immune to extreme temperatures and most radiation, and he can survive in vacuum environments such as outer space and hyperspace. He can analyze and manipulate matter and energy, and restructure or animate matter at will, even transmuting elements.
He can heal living beings (though he cannot raise the dead), and he has proven capable of revitalizing and evolving organic life on a planet-wide scale. He can alter the size of himself or of other matter, cast illusions, fire energy blasts, form manipulate energy constructs, absorb and discharge most forms of energy, and phase through solid matter.
His senses enable him to detect objects and energies light years away and to perceive matter and energy in subatomic detail. The Surfer can even see through time, and with concentration he can achieve limited perception of past and future events in his general vicinity. He has demonstrated limited telepathic ability on occasion and has proven to be able to influence human emotion and sensation.

THE SURFBOARD

The Surfer's board is composed of the same impervious, cosmic-powered silvery material as its master's skin and is mentally linked to the Surfer by means of a tachlon pulse. It moves in response to his thoughts even when he is not in physical contact with it. The board is almost totally indestructible, but on those rare occasions when it is damaged or destroyed, the Surfer is able to repair or even re-create it. The Surfer can attack opponents remotely by directing the board against them, and the board is capable of absorbing and imprisoning other beings, at least temporarily. The board is said to be the source of the Surfer's powers; without it, his skin will turn dull and he will be greatly weakened.
