Every time we have had a Female SILVER SURFER in the Comics

Origin Story of the Silver Surfer

The Silver Surfer, originally named Norrin Radd, was a young astronomer from the planet Zenn-La. Zenn-La was a utopian world, free from crime, disease, hunger, and poverty. However, Norrin’s life changed forever when a menacing alien spacecraft, piloted by Galactus, the world-devouring entity, threatened to consume his homeworld.

To save Zenn-La, Norrin offered to become Galactus’s herald, seeking out new worlds for him to devour in exchange for sparing his home planet. Galactus agreed and transformed Norrin into the Silver Surfer, granting him cosmic powers and a surfboard-like craft that allowed him to travel faster than light.

Over time, the Silver Surfer rebels against Galactus, becoming a hero who defends the universe against various threats.

• Rebellion: His eventual defiance of Galactus to protect other worlds.
