Sentry vs. Silver Surfer in the WWH storyline:

Personally, I thought the whole premise of Sentry sucked from the start. He came out of nowhere; his whole origin was a retcon fabrication. It completely played with established history; for example, they showed a cover of him helping the FF defeat Mole Man in their debut- so now what? The FF didn’t even win their first real fight unassisted?

I think he was developed with the whole WWH thing in mind. Hulk, Silver Surfer and Thor were conveniently unavailable for civil war (which was a good plan). And when Hulk returned SS and Thor were still gone; thus leaving the question of Thor or SS against WW Hulk intentionally unanswered.
But we can have the new marvel super man fight WW Hulk to an even match... (almost even - Banner didn’t pass out and Hulk was ready to go a moment later.)

Couldn’t marvel have had Surfer fight WW Hulk the same way Sentry did and in the end Hulk expels all his power and becomes Banner (the same way) and Surfer (get this EPIC MARVEL MOMENT) expels the power cosmic and reverts back to just Norin Radd... TEMPORARILY, the next several months could show Surfer’s gradual rejuvenation as his skin begins to regain its silver and his power become restored.

How bad an idea is that?
