There wouldn't be any point in specifying that his power is to transmute inorganic matter if that was not a limitation of his power.
Ironically, there's only two scenes here that suggests that he can transmute organic matter are the first two from the bottom. Since in all other cases he's transmuting inorganic matter into organic matter.
But fair enough, I'll grant you that Firestorm can transmute organinc matter too.
But this doesn't overcome the massive discrepancy of scale between the powers of Firestorm and the Silver Surfer, let alone the versatility. Silver Surfer is capable destroying planets and generating black holes, not to mention time travel and phase through walls.
Yes, but arbitrary limitations to powers aren't uncommon. There are plenty of characters with quirky limitations to their powers.
Molecule Man couldn't manipulate organic matter until the Beyonder lifted that limitation. I'm not sure if it's still canon, but it was the case during Secret Wars II.
Those happen to be some of the most recent ones, so that's good. I also explicitly called out my own use of old scans, and moved onto new ones. I like to take my readers on a wondrous journey.
But you've admitted your error, so no use beating it.
Next item, you say Surfer has the power to destroy planets. Cool.
Firestorm is THE Big Bang.
He can also phase through walls. Not time travel, though, so there's that.
