I didn't know the Silver Surfer was a criminal

[CatWoman]

otherwise, why would he be fighting the Fantastic 4?

1. thats what they want you to think--its marketing

its a good way to sell the movie if you don't know the comic...on edit, its a more in depth story line then that, but im not giving out the spoilers

[northzax]

2. not a criminal, per se

he is the herald for a planet consuming creature named Galactus. He scouts the universe for planets for Galactus to eat.

he, if I remember, correctly, sold himself to Galactus in exchange for his home planet (the name of which I cannot recall) not being consumed. The FF are fighting him to try and stop him from telling Galactus about Earth, which would then be consumed. hillarity ensues.

3. looks like you gave away all the spoilers, lol

7. well, it's not like the story wasn't written in 1968

I don't mean to give out any spoliers, but Jesus comes back to life at the end of the Bible. just so you know :)

8. Pssst! Rosebud is the sled.

[Dr. Strange]

4. true

hillarity ensues.

Guest starring Gary Coleman. (Okay, not really.)

5. So how does one planet eat another?

Do they eat in one bite? Do they vacu-seal a continent or two for later? What do they do with the leftovers?

6. Whatever's left becomes one of the weekly challengers in The Biggest Loser

9. Zenn-La!

And thus Galactus forever separated the noble Norin Radd from his beloved Shalla-Bal!

Well, temporarily forever, at least...

10. The Silver Surfer was introduced as a foil in Fantastic Four.

silver... foil... bahh!

Anyhoo, the Silver Surfer, probably the most cerebral and abstract of all Marvel characters, got his start in the otherwise unremarkable comic book, that Fantastic Four.

Fortunately, Johnny's freshman year got off without any major hitch.

[CatWoman]

12. bwahahahahahaha

silver... foil... bahh!

[leftofthedial]
