Origin: Norrin Radd - former herald of the mage-tyrant Galactus, offer his life to protect his native planet, placing him in the service of Galactus as a silver suited sentinal. As a galaxy cruising protector endowned with superhuman strength, he is able to control and direct cosmic energies, with enough force to destroy a city. After visiting Earth, the Surfer finally betrayed Galactus and refused to supply his world-devouring appetite. His punishement was confinement to earth - but he escaped and currently soars the starways as a universal protector.

Recently Surfer became Galactus' herald once more, because Galactus' hunger had led him to insanity. The hunger became unbearable, and Surfer believed he could guide Galactus to lifeless worlds if he became his herald again. In the end, the Shi'ar, Avengers, Fantastic Four and even Kree were all up against Galactus, Surfer had to turn on his master and he destroyed him. Galactus took on his true form, and "died."
