However, there are few clues and while he still has all his might of the Power Cosmic, there are many races who want their revenge for the destruction he brought to their homes as the servant of Galactus. In retaliation, Galactus whisks Zenn-La to an unknown location and now the former Herald must search for his lost home. With difficulty, the Surfer manages to stop him and breaks all ties to Galactus. With the knowledge of Galactus' treachery, he moves to stop the being just as he was going to consume Earth. That suppression is only broken by an attack by the insane space villain, Thanos. Galactus agrees to this and changes the man into the powerful Silver Surfer, but he also submerges his humanity to remove his qualms about selecting populated planets for consumption. He makes a bargain to be the scout for the being, to search for uninhabited planets, in return for for Zenn-La's survival.

#SILVER SURFER COMIC SERIES#
They include Spider-Man, Wolverine, Drax, Firelord, Nova, Scarlet Witch, Cyclops, Namor the Sub-mariner, and Cloak, who will appear in the YA Marvel series Cloak & Dagger on Freeform this summer.When the planet Zenn-La is threatened by the cosmic giant Galactus, a being that must drain whole planets of their lifeforce for sustenance, Norrin Radd must act. Unlike the movie, though, the heroes who join the cause in the comics either didn’t survive the heartbreaking ending, or can’t even appear in the film due to copyright issues. (Oh yeah, Thanos succeeded in his mission very early in the comics, whereas the chaos happened at the very end of the film.) Finally, in the third issue, Silver Surfer, Doctor Strange, Adam Warlock, and even Doctor Doom (long story) call upon Earth’s heroes who hadn’t been wiped out by Thanos’s genocide. Like the Hulk, when Silver Surfer crashes through the Sanctum Sanctorum, he hysterically warns Earth’s Sorcerer Supreme about Thanos. The character was voiced by Laurence Fishburne, a known Marvel fan who will appear in Ant-Man and the Wasp this July. In 2007, Doug Jones from Hellboy and The Shape of Water starred as the Silver Surfer’s motion capture performer in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Marvel Entertainmentįor millennials of a certain age, they may remember the Silver Surfer due to his awesome but short-lived animated series on Fox Kids that aired alongside retro classics like X-Men, Batman: The Animated Series, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Unlike 'Infinity War,' the comic book began with an unexpected visit to the Sanctum Sanctorum by the Silver Surfer, not the Hulk. But there was one massive change the film made from the comics: Originally, it wasn’t the Hulk who dropped in on Strange and Wong. It’s not A Quiet Place, to be sure, but it is effective directing by Joe and Anthony Russo.ĭevoted readers may be familiar with the scene, because it also kicked off the beginning of The Infinity Gauntlet decades ago. Later, when Thanos’s forces begin attacking New York, the quiet rumble of the outside builds up like a horror movie. That’s how Doctor Strange (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Wong (Benedict Wong) get acquainted with the rest of the MCU: A paranoid Banner warns them that “Thanos is coming.”ĭespite being a scary rage monster himself, seeing a paranoid Bruce Banner all shook is a pretty unnerving scene.

Spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War ahead.Īt the beginning of Infinity War, after Thanos beats up the Hulk and collects the Space Stone, Heimdall sends Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) back to Earth where he crashes through the roof of the Sanctum Sanctorum. Due to a variety of reasons, including copyright issues, one major character had to be swapped. But while the film doesn’t recreate Jim Starlin’s 1991 series The Infinity Gauntlet panel for panel, it did homage the book by recreating one crucial scene in the beginning, where Doctor Strange and Wong are having a pretty normal day until an unexpected visitor drops by. The latest Marvel movie, Avengers: Infinity War, is a dream come true for comic book fans.
