The new silver surfist

Marvel confirmed in the official synopsis of Death of the Silver Surfer #5 What Kelly Koh will be Norrin Radd’s successor. The interesting thing is that we are not talking about an idealist hero or a pure spirit, but of someone who has a past full of contradictions.

The contrast recalls other moments in which Marvel has risked alternative versions: Jane Foster as Thor, Sam Wilson as Captain America or Laura Kinney as Wolverine. Everyone started generating division, but ended up consolidating themselves as memorable phases in editorial history.

A bad guy with history

The role of Dennis Harmon is also not accidental. This villain was already presented in the stories passed against Steve RogersTrying to create private plantations with slave workers through mental control. Now, his check on the ban places him as Piece key to the fate of Norrin RaddAnd indirectly, at the birth of the new silver surfers.

Marvel’s comedy not only saves a forgotten antagonist, but places it in the center of an event that could redefine cosmic mythology.

The last wave of Norrin Radd
