Silver Surfer

Lore

He was part of a longstanding and intellectually advanced civilisation who inhabited the plant Zenn-La. He had a troubled upbringing due to his intelligence, pressure from his father and his father’s suicide.

His life changed forever when the Worldship appeared. Radd went to the Worldship alone and confronted Galactus who intended to devour Zenn-La. To protect Zenn-La, Radd made the ultimate sacrifice / bargain and offered to become Galactus’ herald and seek out new worlds for him to devour. This is the conflict at the heart of the Silver Surfer which makes him such an interesting character. He sacrifices planets to protect his home world, this led him eventually to Earth. During the conflicts on Earth with the Fantastic Four, his noble side was re-awakened and he helped fight off Galactus, sparing Earth from destruction.

Norin Radd (The Silver Surfer) has a special place in many 90’s childrens hearts, as he had an iconic cult following due to the animated series. He possess the Power Cosmic provided to him to fulfil his duties as the Herald of Galactus, this power places him amongst the strongest beings in the Marvel universe. It is only fitting he has the potential to be one of the strongest cards in Marvel Snap.
