"When the world-devouring Galactus came to idyllic world of Zenn-La, Norin Radd sacrificed his own life to protect his planet offering himself up to Galactus as his herald, one who would seek out planets suitable for Galactus to consume. Galactus then empowered Radd with a small fraction of his own power, encasing him in a protective silver skin, and giving him a surfboard. When they reached Earth, the Surfer could not allow Galactus to consume the world and the people he had met there. This betrayal caused Galactus to trap the Surfer forever on the planet Earth, and ended his heraldry. He has since escaped Earth and now soars the starways as a universal protector."
