Respect the Silver Surfer!

Started by Branlor Swift24 pages

Oh, Abhi posted in the Surfer respect thread. I wonder what magnificent feat he wanted to share with Surfer fans?

Oh, this was unexpected.

...

Anyway.

His board being "destroyed" was a common tactic for Surfer to enter into an area during that arc as seen here:
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Surfer/SS_v4_005_12a.jpg
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Surfer/SS_v4_005_13a.jpg

Now whether that happened there or not is another topic entirely, but it should be noted that his physical form was completely unscathed while he jumped into the singularity and head on into the current quasar forming out of it.

His board being gone in either case would contradict both however. An explanation is that the universe creator Singularity sent him on his way with his board. Otherwise Surfer simply went to sleep outside a black hole, and the whole scene with him entering was completely unnecessary and an illusion. Why did he even need to go there in the first place if he was going to have a nap outside?

Anyway again
We see something a little bit weirder which could be construed as Surfer having his soul sucked from his body, since this is clearly not physical. As well as taking it so cut and dry, this is when the actual Singularity talks (sound), and him flying into the light was before the sound. And this sound sends him on a booze cruise.

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Surfer/SS_v4_006_05a.jpg

As well as we saw the same thing happen later in the series when Ellie entered which was again purely physical as it basically obliterated the Marduk.

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Surfer/SS_v4_014_07a.jpg

As well as here's Surfer saying he flew outside time and space, and considering the outside of the Singularity was inside time and space, and he FLEW outside time and space, that kind of says what was shown actually happened. Since he flew there. You know. He flew outside time and space, and into the Singularity.
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Surfer/SS_v4_010_13a.jpg

What happened before he entered the Singularity was physical. After that it just became more Silver Surfer Volume 4. As to why the Singularity was firing off a quasar is a good guess though. Maybe it was to keep dooders away. srug

On to some more stuff.

Surfer takes a backlash that does shred his board for sure to leave him unharmed:

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Surfer/SS_v4_011_06a.jpg

And a little lesser feat and then a ridiculous one. Surfer gets put on his knees from a bunch of nukes while trying to protect the island and Ellie, and then takes point blank blast from Ellie (who was said to be limitless in power and was revealed later to be basically a cosmic level God... though the human speaking thinks she's city level):

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Surfer/SS_v4_012_06a.jpg

So it doesn't get twisted. It was strongly implied to be nukes, if not outright stated to be nukes
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Surfer/SS_v4_011_10a.jpg

http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Surfer/SS_v4_011_12a.jpg

I said it was confusing, so take it as you like. I don't think it was purely physical durability. Although it can be interpreted both ways.

Now, K'ad-Mon (Man Thing) wasn't at the level of God obviously, but he was extremely powerful, and way beyond the level of normal Man-Thing. With his staff he was pretty much warping reality and time to go back to the Golden Age of Alantis, as well as recreating the Book of Life while vibrating off the shards of the nexus of reality:

But anyway, even without the context he was still extremely powerful, as indicated here he was breaking Silver Surfer's bones and tearing his skin. Surfer ends up winning.

Wicked feat! From what comic is this Bran?

Strange Tales v4 #1.

The other context comes Peter Parker Spider-Man annual 1999, and Strange Tales 2. Also worth it to read Man Thing v3 (only 8 issues).

Aight! Thanks..

Thanks guys, this is awesome.Keep up the good work.

The Great One is a being that would go around the universe and teleport entire worlds in his own mind to create a universe out of it:
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Surfer/Homecoming16.jpg

He had hundreds of worlds and stars within his universe:
http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o106/bigbran1/Surfer/Homecoming18.jpg

Now it's difficult to say whether this is purely a mental feat or if it's a unique combination of physical/mental might due to this happening within the Great One's universe which was his mind, but those planets are still in real danger. But anyway, he fights and defeats the Great One.

Great scans Bran.

Awesome cosmic senses:

Uses his cosmic senses to locate the best Ice Cream in the universe. Essentially scans the entire universe.

http://m.imgur.com/oOi9SpY

Scans a planet and instantly knows that each of the 6 billion inhabitants are all nearly of a different race.

Not Surfer's best "feat" IMO. But certainly one of his coolest. Surf's a moon right into Big G's face. Thanks Galan for scans.

Silver Surfer/Galactus:

Biggest "feat" of the recent run IMO.

To all the "Surfer can be depowered by tech" peeps, this strat doesn't work anymore.

Surfer has resisted being depowered by Galactus himself by simply temporarily "de-silvering" himself. And he did this just as Galactus blasted him at point blank range.

Next issue:

Silvering down is a new trick Surfer developed on this run.

I'd say the biggest feat for his current run is when...

Surfer Powered the Impericon

"The Impericon is [b]bigger than any five planets put together."

Hotel suites on the Impericon have their own orbiting moons. The Impericon houses trillions of tourists.

The Impericon's power source is the Never Queen's heart.

The Impericon will crumble without the Heart. Surfer removes the heart, and [b]uses his Power Cosmic to power the entire Impericon long enough so that he could use his TP to warn the trillions of people to escape to safety

[/B]

^ Also a good TP feat, since he used TP to warn trillions of people.

Already been posted 😛

Here's a good one from that issue though. He speedblitzes Galactus with all his power. It doesn't do anything, but it's a scary thought.

And all this, throwing a moon at Galactus, and "resisting" getting drained by Galactus and he didn't run out of any power. I think it's safe to say that Surfer's stamina isn't an issue anymore.

It's def a sweet "power feat". But Surfer's got a lot of those, tho.

It's "depowering resistance feats" that he lacked and has been used a lot in debates.

Until now. And against the best possible depowering-capable character they can possibly use.

Surfer uses his Power Cosmic to literally fold the fabric of space and create a transwarp tunnel large enough to transport 3 billion spaceships light-years away.
