Silver Surfer Movie Poster

The "Silver Surfer" is a fictional character, a Marvel Comics superhero, created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. The "Silver Surfer" first appears in the comic book Fantastic Four #48 (March 1966), the first of a three-issue arc fans and historians call "The Galactus Trilogy."

Norrin Radd was a young astronomer of 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, pledging himself to serve as its herald. Imbued in return with a small portion of Galactus' Power Cosmic, Norrin acquired great powers, and a silvery appearance. He created for himself a surfboard-like craft — modeled after a childhood fantasy of his — on which he would travel at speeds beyond that of light.

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 "Silver 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 "Silver Surfer" saved Earth but was punished in return with everlasting exile there.

Following the success of this debut, Stan Lee scripted a philosophical spin-off series wherein the "Silver Surfer" explored his new home planet.

A more cosmically themed series was published from 1987 to 1998, which focused on the exploits of the "Silver Surfer" finally freed from his exile.

A third series followed in 2003, lasting 14 months.

The "Silver Surfer" movie, scheduled for a 2009 release, is not a sequel, per se, to "The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," rather, a spin-off, as "Wolverine" is to the "X-Men" movie franchise.
