Born on the Utopian Planet Zenn- La, Norrin Rad sacrificed himself to become the herald of Galactus to save his world from the planet eater, and left behind all he held dear including his sweetheart Shalla Bal. He was endowed by Galactus with a body of a silvery substance that made him impervious to the rigours of deep space and a board of similar material to travel upon. Galactus also gave the Surfer a portion of his power cosmic. Galactus sent his herald out to find suitable planets for him to devour. The Silver Surfer tried to find uninhabited planets for his master as his humanoid emotions where retained. Afraid that these would interfere with his heralds work Galactus removed all memory of his life on Zenn- La from the Surfers mind. The Surfer arrived on Earth and was battled by the Heroes of Gaia, he defeated the superheroes but Gaiawoman persuaded him to turn against his master. Galactus was defeated but before he left he erected a a barrier around the Earth that kept the Surfer within its boundaries imprisoning him on Earth. He has now joined the Heroes of Gaia to keep peace on the planet so that evil will never again threaten him or his home.
Powers- 'Cosmic'. The Power Cosmic allows Norrin to employ the limitless cosmic energies within him to produce nearly any effect he desires, including: size-alteration, the molecular restructuring and transmutation of matter, the teleportation of objects across space and time, the creation of force fields, the creation of interdimensional portals, telepathy, telekinesis, invulnerability to extreme temperatures, and cosmic awareness on a universal scale.
