Okay, so Marvel just did something HUGE – they killed off one of their biggest heroes! Honestly, the title of the comic kind of hinted at it, but still, it’s shocking. This hero has always been a core part of the Fantastic Four, and I’m glad they gave him a really heroic ending. It felt right, even though it’s sad to see him go.
The Silver Surfer seemingly died in the final issue of the comic series Death of the Silver Surfer #5, created by Greg Pak, Sumit Kumar, and Tiago Palma. The story focused on Dennis Harmon, a wealthy tech entrepreneur, and his descent into madness. Harmon used his vast fortune to buy B.A.N., the government agency responsible for dealing with aliens.
I still can’t believe what Harmon did! Instead of focusing on aliens who were actually attacking us, he decided B.A.N. should just try to kick all aliens off Earth. And honestly, he really, really hated Norrin Radd, the Silver Surfer. It got to the point where he tried to rip open some kind of cosmic hole, hoping it would destroy the Surfer! But it was insane – it would have destroyed the whole planet! The Fantastic Four and Avengers were there, watching, but they couldn’t stop him in time. It was a terrifying moment, honestly.
What Fantastic Four character was killed off by Marvel?
Given the title “Death of the Silver Surfer,” everyone expected Norrin Radd to die before the story ended. The mystery was simply how it would happen. In the end, he sacrificed himself to seal a dangerous rift from within. But in his last moment, he passed on his incredible cosmic power to B.A.N. Agent Kelly Koh.
Koh used to share Dennis Harmon’s dislike of aliens and superheroes. But witnessing Radd’s constant empathy, even for his foes, and Harmon’s lack of concern for innocent bystanders changed her perspective and caused her to question their cause. Ultimately, she decided to help Norrin Raad protect people. Despite this, the story concludes with Koh still hesitant to fully commit to joining established hero teams like the Fantastic Four.
Norrin Radd’s death feels fitting, mirroring his life of sacrifice. He once gave up everything to protect his home planet, Zenn-La, and later, as the Silver Surfer, bravely opposed Galactus to save Earth, becoming a celebrated hero. It’s poetic that he would ultimately die protecting the world where he earned his heroic reputation. Furthermore, his last act was particularly meaningful: he transformed a former foe into a hero inspired to carry on his legacy.
Death of the Silver Surfer #5 arrives in comic shops everywhere.
