“ | I am not a god. I have never created life... but I have lived. That is enough. So I will fight to preserve that same opportunity -- to love, to dream, to soar among the stars -- for all those yet to come. Many lives will be lost in the battle ahead -- but their efforts will ensure that some remain to remember their deeds. And, like the gods, the will truly live forever...even after they are gone. | „ |

Stamina: Superhuman
Range: High Universal (Wiped out the influence of the Zenn-Lavian civilization across the Universe)
Standard Equipment: His board
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius. Norrin Radd was an exceptional scientist, tutored in this area by Jartran Radd and in the nature of the universe by Galactus. He was self-taught in various areas, especially history, and absorbed much Zenn-Lavian knowledge from "Hypno-powered study cubes". He is able to understand information that would take a millennium to convey in a millisecond, assess a situation in a microsecond, and correctly calculate where a wormhole leads.
Standard Tactics: Due to his own pacifistic nature, Silver Surfer rarely fights with his full strength and lowers his power immensely to account for collateral damage as well as the mortality of his opponents.
- Surfer explicitly notes the potential collateral damage and endangerment of human lives, and doesn't use an attack despite it being a fatal situation for him
- Iron Man notes the Surfer likely holds back his blows
- Surfer willingly took multiple hits from Dr. Minerva and Captain Atlas before getting annoyed at which point he oneshots Atlas, showing that Silver Surfer usually prefers to be in a far weaker form.
Weaknesses: The Silver Surfer rarely fights to truly kill, and often does not use his abilities to their fullest extent. Although his body does not require sleep, his mind still does in order to give it an opportunity to dream. The Surfer is extremely reliant on his cosmic power and is more of a fighter in his surfboard than without it.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Time Travel: The Surfer can travel backward or forward in time an undetermined amount (at least millions of years both ways). He can take other people or objects with him if they are riding his board. When traveling back in time, he can affect the past and change the course of history (which he did so against the Overlord in Silver Surfer Volume 1)
- Transmutation: Norrin can transmute matter into other states, ranging from things as simple as turning sand to gold, to restructuring complex alien weapons to emit nothing but harmless light
- Energy Manipulation: The Silver Surfer can harness nearly any form of energy, from ambient heat and light to the power of an entire star, to magic and souls, to the primordial cosmic energies of the universe itself. He can transform these energies into other types, and direct them to create many different types of effects
