Poll Result: The Silver Surfer's Name

Written by GL

It seems that some of you all may be getting too smart for us. Or perhaps, it seems many of you were actually paying very hard attention to the movie: the majority of you guys got it right. Good on you.

Norrin Radd was an unlucky young astronomer from a planet pretty far from here. In order to save his homeworld from destruction by a fearsome cosmic dude known as Galactus, Norrin made a bargain with the being, pledging himself to serve as its herald (his messenger, of sorts). Norrin was gifted with a small portion of Galactus' Power Cosmic. He acquired great powers, a silvery appearance, and a surfboard-like vehicle — all modeled after a childhood fantasy of his.

Known from then on as the Silver Surfer, Norrin began to roam the cosmos searching for new planets for Galactus to consume. He is the shiniest character in the Marvel Universe.

Good job, people. It's all about the learning.
