In a new issue of Silver Surfer, an apocalyptic tantrum saw Norrin Radd prove he's not really a superhero at all - he's actually a god that humanity had better not anger.
The Silver Surfer's apocalyptic temper tantrum proved he's really a god, not just a superhero, in Marvel Comics. Empowered by Galactus, the Devourer of Worlds, for years Norrin Radd served as his herald - guiding his master to worlds he could consume to sate his hunger. The Silver Surfer rebelled when he arrived on Earth, believing humanity to be worth saving because of its capacity for goodness and love. In response, for a time Galactus imprisoned the Silver Surfer on Earth.
Earth has been home to countless superheroes over the decades. Some are noted for their heroism and nobility - think the Avengers or the Fantastic Four. Some are motivated by a personal ethos, such as Spider-Man's belief in power and responsibility, while others like the Punisher are driven by insane vendettas. But humanity struggled to figure out how to deal with the Sentinel of the Skyways, whose character and nature proved so very different to their own.
There's a spectacular irony to the Silver Surfer's actions. He seems to think he's teaching humanity a lesson; in reality, only a couple of police officers even know they've just had a confrontation with the Silver Surfer. As far as the majority of the human race is concerned, all power across the planet mysteriously shut down for a brief period before being restored when the Silver Surfer's temper cooled.
Marvel's sliding timeline adds another layer of complexity to all this. The Silver Surfer's temper tantrum was apocalyptic enough in 1968, but because the timeline has moved, it now probably happened in the early 2000s - when the world was a lot more dependent on technology, meaning the impact would have been even greater. Suffice to say humanity had good reason to be grateful when Galactus' barrier was lifted and the Silver Surfer left the planet.
