The Silver Sufer Delivers but....

Rating: Null/10 (17 June 2007)

If know saw the movie only, then you might not know that The Silver Surfer wields the "Power Cosmic," absorbing and manipulating the universe's cosmic energy, and is almost totally indestructible. He can navigate through space, hyperspace, and dimensional barriers, and he can fly at near-limitless speeds on his board, entering hyperspace when he exceeds light speed. He has even proved capable of time travel on occasion. The Surfer, who sustains himself by converting matter into energy, does not require food, drink, air, or sleep. He is immune to extreme temperatures from the human torch and most radiation, and he can survive in vacuum environments such as outer space and hyperspace. He can analyze and manipulate matter and energy, and restructure or animate matter at will, even transmuting elements. I am sad that he was tortured by that one man. He can heal living beings such as Mrs. Storm and he has proved capable of revitalizing and evolving organic life on a planet-wide scale. He can alter the size of himself or of other matter, cast illusions, fire energy blasts, form manipulate energy constructs, absorb and discharge most forms of energy, and phase through solid matter!! His senses enable him to detect objects and energies light years away and to perceive matter and energy in subatomic detail. Trust me, he can beat up Spiderman and Superman. The Surfer can even see through time, and with concentration he can achieve limited perception of past and future events in his general vicinity. He has demonstrated limited telepathic ability on occasion and has proved able to influence human emotion and sensation. The Surfer's board in this movie is composed of the same impervious, cosmic-powered silvery material as its master's skin and is mentally linked to the Surfer as we see in the forest. It moves in response to his thoughts even when he is not in physical contact with it. The board is almost totally indestructible, but on those rare occasions when it is damaged or destroyed, the Surfer is able to repair or even re-create it. The Surfer can attack opponents remotely by directing the board against them, and the board is capable of absorbing and imprisoning other beings, at least temporarily. I wish he would have done that on Dr. Doom. Obviously, Galactus exiled the Surfer to Earth, his means of imprisonment was linked to the board. When Surfer and the Fantastic Four realized this, Surfer put it to the test by leaving the board planet-side and entering space in the Four's spacecraft. Once he was free of Earth, the Surfer remotely converted the board to energy, recalled it to him, and reformed it in space! All in all, a good movie.
