3. In the Infinity Gauntlet saga, Thanos had the power to do almost anything he wanted now that he had the Infinty Gems. He had promised to do what for Mistress Death?

Answer: KIll half the universe

The Infinty Gauntlet saga was very interesting. Eventually Adam Warlock took back the Infinty Gauntlet and defeated Thanos.

Answer: Mission 111, the seventh messenger

What a coincidence! Mission 111 succeeded in issue 111. The poor messenger had to sacrifice himself to actually reached somebody to help. True, he did succeed and was with Silver Surfer throughout issue 111 but he could never turn back to his normal form.

5. Who died in " The Herald Ordeal" subtitle?

Answer: Nova

It was a sad day when Nova died in Surfer's arms. She put up a heck of a fight with Surfer and the other heralds. It was in issue 75 she died. Morg had killed her with a powerful blast from his double-bladed axe.

6. Who had helped Silver Surfer escape earth?

Answer: The Fantastic Four

It was actually Ben Grimm's idea to take Surfer out of earth's atmosphere. It worked, they had found the loophole!

7. Who took Silver Surfer's powers?

Answer: A Dr. Doom android

In the early 100s issues, Surfer didn't want to be a cosmic being anymore. Who the Surfer thought was Dr.Doom told him that he could take away his powers and turn the Surfer back to a man. However, the android's device didn't change the Surfer's silver exterior, it only took away his power of cosmic.

The robot then tried to kill him and almost did. Legacy, the son of Captain Mar-Vell, healed Surfer and gave back his power of cosmic.

8. Why didn't Galactus eat earth?

Answer: The Fantastic Four threatened him with the Ultimate Nullifier

Mr. Fantasic knew that the Nullifier was the only thing that could destroy Galactus and Galactus knew it too. If Galactus was destroyed it would ruin the balance of the universe. Galactus is in the circle of life. If he was not there, chaos and destruction would be the universe.

9. Why did Tryrant need to stop Galactus from eating anymore planets?

Answer: Tyrant's power weakens every time Galactus eats a planet

Tyrant's power does (or did) weaken him whenever Galactus ate a planet because Tyrant's power comes from the bio-energies the planets have. So, the more Galactus eats the weaker Tyrant becomes. Well, not anymore since Tyrant is now dead (Morg killed him with the Ultimate Nullifier).

10. Which Elder did Silver Surfer fight right before he escaped earth?

Answer: Champion

Yes, Surfer versed Champion in issue 1, volume 3. Champion came to say that he wanted Surfer to stay out of the Skrull's way of cosmic domination.

11. Which Infinity Gem was Silver Surfer, Drax, and many other characters trapped in for a while when Thanos had control over the gems?

Answer: Soul Gem

Adam Warlock had helped Surfer and Drax escape the Soul Gem. While there Surfer had learned his soul had been "tampered" with, meaning that Galactus had changed his soul when he became Silver Surfer.

12. We know Surfer had visited Shalla-Bal many times. There was one time (in the early 100s issues) when Surfer had visited her, she had fallen in love with someone else. Who was this man?

Answer: Fennan

What is really interesting is that Fennan is really Surfer's half brother! Before Norrin's dad had committed suicide, he had an affair with someone else and Fennan was the child Mr.Radd's girlfriend had had in the affair.

13. True or False: The Skrulls had not lost their shape-changing powers.

Answer: False

The Skrulls had tried to keep it secret in the beginning of the series but it came loose because of spies.

Answer: Blood of the peoples' lives he had killed

It was in issue 48 Silver Surfer had asked Galactus to undo his work on his soul. The guilt of all those people dying because of him was too much for Surfer. He eventually overcame the guilt but he couldn't forget it.

15. In the mid 90 issues Silver Surfer had found someone who he had thought was dead. It was really Mephisto in disguise. Who was this person who Surfer thought had come back to life?

Answer: Nova

The Surfer had visited Monster Island with the Fantastic Four because of unusual tremors. In a deep cave, they had found Nova.
