It’s never been an easy life for the Silver Surfer. Ever since the day Norrin Radd willingly surrendered his existence to Galactus to save his love and home planet, the former herald has never been able to catch a break. While he’s always acted heroically, the Surfer’s alien nature and association with the Devourer of Worlds earn him more foes than friends, even as he stands for what’s right. Facing constant moral quandaries on a galactic scale and a steady diet of one-sided beatings, the Sentinel of the Spaceways has endured lifetimes’ worth of pain. And that’s just in this lifetime.Marvel’s comic multiverse allows fans to explore different interpretations of their characters across new worlds and more condensed stories. This has led to unforgettable variants of Spider-Man, Wolverine and Deadpool that all twist the premise of these heroes into something different but just as exciting. And while there are versions skewing toward depressing or tragic, these are often outliers. Such isn’t the case for the Silver Surfer, however, who sees tragedy follows him as closely as his board. Norrin Radd’s track record of features across the multiverse is almost uniformly despondent, with stories that often provide him with especially dour fates.The Silver Surfer’s fate is characteristically ironic for Ruins. After leaving Galactus, Norrin Radd couldn’t return to Zenn-La, but was free to go anywhere else. The Power Cosmic granted him freedom on a scale few could ever dream of, but Mar-Vell posits this liberation as a trap. The Sentinel of the Spaceways is speculated to have died by his own hands simply because he wanted to feel the very sensations that kept him terrestrial. Ruins isn’t any more merciful to Radd’s former master; Galactus is seen on the cover of a tabloid magazine that boldly reads “God found dead in space.”
