Silver Surfer.
His original name was Norrin Radd, a young astronomer from the extrasolar Planet Zenn-La in the Milky Way Galaxy.
To change the fate of his home Planet from being consumed by Galactus, he voluntarily became a subordinate of the Planet Eater.
After weighing the pros and cons, Galactus agreed to Norrin's request and bestowed upon him the Power Cosmic, making him a Herald of the Planet Eater.
The moment he gained the Power Cosmic, Norrin Radd lost his memory, kindness, conscience, and all his former values.
Even so, Silver Surfer was still very different from the other Heralds of the Planet Eater.
The Planets Silver Surfer sought for the Planet Eater were generally those without any life.
Space.
Silver Surfer quietly gazed at the unfamiliar blue Planet, his eyes sometimes lost in thought, sometimes filled with nostalgia.
Although it was his first time on Earth, he was still captivated by its beauty.
Beautiful, tranquil, and peaceful!
This made him feel a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen it before, yet he couldn't recall anything.
Logically, he should have reported the Planet's situation to his Master immediately.
But for some reason, he hesitated.
If he were to truly report the information he had obtained to his Master, this civilized Planet, which had evolved over billions of years, would instantly be destroyed!
Not to mention, he had actually found some news about Galan here.
He had no intention of betraying his Master, but for some reason, he just hesitated.
What made him feel even stranger was that, deep down, he seemed to have some hope that this Planet could prevent his Master from consuming it.
However, at this moment, Silver Surfer received a signal.
After connecting the signal, the towering Shadow of Galactus appeared before him.
"I have already found Galan's whereabouts; she is on Earth. Silver Surfer, how dare you conceal this information? Are you trying to betray me?"
On his surfboard, Silver Surfer lowered his head, "I wouldn't dare!"
Galactus crossed his arms and said proudly, "Stardust, Fire Lord, and Tyrant are already on their way. If you no longer wish to be my servant, I don't mind setting you free!"
Silver Surfer lowered his head even further, "I wouldn't dare. Serving my Master is my mission!"
Through the quantum entanglement communication channel, Galactus looked at Silver Surfer and did not press further.
Strictly speaking, apart from Stardust, Silver Surfer was the most efficient and least troublesome of his Heralds.
"The usual procedure: first, you make a few holes on Earth for me to feed, and I'll come over after I've eaten a bit!"
His Master wants to eat a bit first before coming? This was the first time Silver Surfer had heard this; it seemed this Planet was not as simple as he imagined!
But the more thoroughly his Master prepared, the more critical the situation for this Planet became.
"Yes!"
After Galactus disappeared, Silver Surfer no longer hesitated and immediately rushed towards Earth.
His first chosen location was Greenland.
Earth.
After a giant pit appeared in Greenland, all the superhero on Earth immediately became tense.
Thor excitedly said, "That's it! Any Planet targeted by Galactus will have holes made by his Herald first, to facilitate his consumption."
Earth was really targeted by Galactus?!
Everyone felt as if a mountain was pressing down on them.
They had already detected Silver Surfer's whereabouts, but by the time they arrived in Greenland, Silver Surfer's trace was long gone.
His speed was simply too fast!
Tony Stark's face was serious, "No matter what, we must stop him. Thor, give me all the information about Silver Surfer that Asgard has collected!"
Thor nodded: "Okay!"
Late night.
Avengers Tower was brightly lit.
After an overnight calculation, Tony Stark finally achieved astonishing results.
"Look, these Planets that have been consumed by Galactus... Galactus's feeding has a special dining 'etiquette', if you will."
Under Tony Stark's guidance, although most people found it incomprehensible, a few extremely intelligent ones, like Banner, instantly understood everything.
"40°43′ North latitude, 74° West longitude, so Silver Surfer's next target is New York!"
Upon learning Silver Surfer's next target, all the superhero felt speechless.
New York had just recovered some vitality after the recent nuclear explosion.
How long had it been? It had once again become the target of aliens.
It must be said, New York was truly plagued by disasters!
However, now was not the time to think about these things.
Upon learning the next attack location, a quinjet immediately set off for New York City.
New York.
Another peaceful day.
At the mouth of the Hudson River on Liberty Island, the famous Statue of Liberty stood here.
The constant alien attacks made countless Earthlings cherish their current beautiful lives even more.
Living for the moment was increasingly becoming the motto of Earthlings!
A splendid sunny afternoon naturally became a good time for many citizens to sightsee.
Countless out-of-town tourists also came here to check in one after another.
"Cheese!"
A young couple was embracing each other, taking beautiful photos in front of the Statue of Liberty.
Click!
Click!
Click!
Photo after photo was captured, making countless people around them feel full.
The same dog food, but different flavors!
Some were sweet and sticky, some were sour and made one's teeth ache, and there was even envy, jealousy, and hatred, making one feel so full they wanted to vomit!
At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, staring in astonishment at the mouth of the Hudson River behind the couple.
They saw a circular pit slowly appearing in the mouth of the Hudson River.
The pit grew larger and larger, and all the river water poured into it.
And then, a silver-white figure, with no visible organs, riding a surfboard, flew out of the pit.
Upon seeing this "silver-plated" fellow, countless New York City citizens held their breath.
They were New York City citizens who had experienced countless alien encounters; they had to hold back and absolutely not panic.
If nothing unexpected happened, the superhero would arrive soon!
But perhaps because of the pit, the river's flow and the underground water level were severely affected.
The Statue of Liberty was immediately impacted, swaying its body and tilting towards where the two young lovers stood.
The two lovers were scared to death; they were just taking a photo and showing affection, did they really deserve to be "knocked" by the 46-meter tall, 225-ton Statue of Liberty?
The Statue of Liberty had been single for nearly two hundred years, wasn't it their fault?
Couldn't they just stop showing affection in the future?
But it was clearly too late to say any of that now!
They saw the Shadow of the Statue of Liberty covering them grow larger and larger, becoming more and more prominent in their eyes.
The two involuntarily closed their eyes!
"Hulk!"
However, at this moment, they heard a roar, and the two only felt the ground in front of them tremble heavily.
Then, a green-skinned giant appeared in front of them, and the weight of the Statue of Liberty pressed heavily on Hulk's shoulders.
The weight of the Statue of Liberty was simply too heavy; even for Hulk, it pressed him down onto one knee.
Where his knee touched the ground, dense spiderweb cracks appeared.
The two were somewhat stunned; to be honest, this was their first face-to-face encounter with a Super Hero.
Previously, the two had actually looked down on superhero, even considering them lawbreakers.
But at this moment, their thoughts changed!
"Hulk, thank you!"
The two used all four limbs, dog-paddling their way out.
As soon as they crawled out of the Statue of Liberty's Shadow, they saw Iron Man piloting his armor, chasing the silver-plated alien!
Looking at Iron Man's back, the two involuntarily clasped their hands together, adopting a praying posture.
"Iron Man, you can do it!"
