I'm curious as to what people think of this idea regarding the Silver Surfer, an idea inspired by why a guy who can do so much needs something to help him fly.
Suppose that without his board, the Surfer was basically just vastly superhuman: extreme strength, speed/agility, durability, sensory acuity (and I'm talking about all these being taken to levels beyond what he has now), plus a master of all kinds of martial arts, learned from visiting countless planets. Without his board, he cannot fly, he cannot manipulate energy.
With his board: he keeps all the above powers (he can not augment them), Plus now he can fly, shoot bolts, raise shields, rearrange atoms, and so on. I think this might make for an easier character to write for, plus it would make sense as to why he needs the board to fly. Any thoughts?

I'm currently stationed with a computer that cannot support images, so I'm not sure what image you're exactly looking at but... If I remember correctly, this was around Heroes Reborn when heroes like Daredevil and Spiderman were the only non-mutant heroes left.
Surfer was at a stage when he wanted to get rid of his powers (after finding that his brother? was with Shalla Bal), but unfortunately he ended up dividing himself into two people. One became mortal (temporarily lost his memory and walking around NY) and the other was an unfriendly version of Surfer (responsible for the other's memory loss and who held the burden of the painful memories they had shared). Both of the two heroes turned into "salt" I think and the only one that stopped Sufer's wrath was his mortal entity that eventually reemerged with him.
To correct myself, this was actually after the incident where he found out that Zenn-la was a huge illusion done by Galactus after the "Others" wiped out his civilization.
