Since 1966, Norrin Radd has cruised the celestial seas as the shimmering Silver Surfer. Marvel's spacefaring sentry has spent a half-century traveling the spaceways at lightspeed, moving from planet to planet to experience lifetimes' worth of conflict and culture. His wisdom and the Power Cosmic, a fraction of the power available to the world-devouring Galactus, have made the Surfer one of the most distinguished allies of the Fantastic Four, Defenders, and Guardians of the Galaxy. Marvel’s Sentinel of the Spaceways stands among the stars as one of the bastions of his company’s unique brand of Kirby-esque cosmic heroism and he's frequently seen as one of Marvel's most powerful champions — at least on paper. In practice, the Silver Surfer is kind of a wimp.
