Stan Lee said that his favorite superhero was Silversufer several times. Nobody says much about the burden he carries working for Galactus all them years (I think it was 100 years not sure) the countless civilizations killed has to weigh heavy on him. For him to keep going after all that I say he is definitely a awesome hero.
Yea corrupted and all yet he still left a universe without sickness, war, greed, hunger and poverty and got rid of 2 huge threats in Galactus and Mephisto, not to mention he made sure no one could misuse the gauntlet again, so in the end he did make everything better and was stopped at the best possible time before he did anything bad, this was the best possible outcome for the universe, God job Norrin
I love Arris Quinones narration as it makes the comic storytelling more enjoyable and have a nostalgic feeling to it like when I used to have comics read to me when I was a child. It’s a shame Silver Surfer couldn’t feature in the Infinity War movie.

@@devinbrewer8956 the online web game version of Super Hero Squad Show. The show was great. Think TTG, but actually enjoyable and getting characters personalities right (just over exaggerations of those personalities). The online game was basically an online kids MMO in the club penguin era. Riddled with micro transactions, but ultimately something that was mindless fun and I personally look back on fondly
I "geeked" out over this (back in the day) when I picked this up and read it. All of my absolute favorite characters (SS, AW, Thanos, and Classic Doc S.) This blew me away. Back then they did an incredible job keeping a power archy, and great story line continuity.
Doctor Strange made it clear that there was only one possible scenario that they win (out of the countless he saw) Scenario 1: Thanos has 4/5 stones and simply overpowers the time stone Scenario 2: (this happens during the battlefield) Dr.strange gets impaled by a random Thanos Goon. Its like classic time travel (or that Dr Strange What-If episode). If something is meant to happen there’s no other way around it.
@@ronniecosmos8105 when did he get impaled by a Thanos soldier? There was no one else there during the fight on Titan from what I remember. The 5 stones likely can't overpower the time stone if they use it to freeze him before he can even do anything and then just take the stones
@@ronniecosmos8105 Another possibility, it works.... but some unforseen (to us anyway) detail would would cause things to spiral in a completely different direction that ultimately makes it a Pyric Victory.... or result in something worse then what we got and thus not considered a win. Remember, Strange was seeing super far ahead, at least 5 years ahead.
@@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu I'm not saying that this happened (Your question is a good one) I'm saying that my 2 scenarios could've been one of the possibilities Dr.Strange saw. Also, I would argue that the combination of 4 to 5 stones could overpower a single stone.
"Who could begrudge them this happiness? Wait. What?" As Infinity Ultron appears. This is my second favorite favorite What If? story. My first is the one where The Leader was able to steal the strength from The Hulk and rule the world. It ends the complete opposite of this story with The Watcher saying "Do what I cannot and weep for this world."
Can you do history of Doc Octopus, Rhino, Sandman, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Morbius. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?
I remember the first time I saw Silver Surfer with the infinity gauntlet was when I was a kid watching Super Hero Marvel Squad. As a kid I did not expect him to turn bad but he did look cool when he changed to dark grey.
This brings up a good question. We've already seen a list on the most powerful items ranked in marvel but what is the most powerful beings ranked in marvel? And just to be clear the beings in question doesn't require the used of any of those powerful items.
Nice reminder of this old story. Seeing how Silver Surfer became arrogant with the immense power added to his original ones show nobody should wield that.
Can you do history of DC's Shining Knight and Marvel's Black Knight? If you seen the recent episodes of season 7 of the Flash, can you do history of Impulse, XS, Psych, Fuerza, Steadfast, Chillblaine, Abracadabra, Rainbow Raider, Mirror Master and Top in your next video?
Wow. I wasn’t aware the Super Hero Squad Show was doing a version of this storyline. I’d have loved to see the MCU have led up to something like this. Thanos is the main push, but Disney should remember the infinity gauntlet is just a tool anyone can use. Knowing a character’s gradual suffering and seeing their corruption by unlimited power is far more interesting than a nonsensical undergrad plan to solve universe hunger.
The ending is really good, but it kinda begs the question: If Warlock's master plan involved the Surfer ripping the Gauntlet away from Thanos, then why would he have no confidence in him possessing it afterwards? Wouldn't he have wanted it to land in the hands of someone who'd handle the power rationally? Why didn't Warlock just support *HIS* own decision by pronouncing the Surfer to be the rightful heir apparent to the power of the Gems, and then resolve an intelligent solution later once the Surfer regained his senses? This coulda' been a lot better, and it treads too much of the same ground that other Marvel stories have, where someone suddenly become infused with godlike powers, and chaos ensues.
We did get something similar to that in the Super Hero Squad Show where the Silver Surfer using both the infinity Gauntlet and the infinity sword became the Dark Surfer after the power of the infinity gauntlet corrupted his mind
can u guys do a episode on graviton? He's super powerful and people dont really know about him. I'd love to watch you guys break down his history and powers please
Could you do a video on the challengers of the unknown? I have I think an 8 or 6 part series of them somewhere and I loved it growing up. Wasn’t sure if it was just a limited series or not
Do you think Silver Surfer is powerful enough to survive if he did the snap with the Infinity Gauntlet? Is he more powerful than Thanos with the Infinity Stones?
What would happen if the Silver Surfer was the leader of the Infinity_Watch? Can you do history of the Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock and the Infinity_Watch?

I love Surfer but his story never made sense because he was already trying to find his love but she should have been dead by then.

Honestly he didn't seem that corrupted at all lmfao
Bruh this man explains story so good I only got into comics because of you
Same here!!
Yup been watching him since I was like 8
He’s definitely expanded my knowledge.
Informative and easy to listen too
@variant
Yess!! Same here!
We need a Silver Surfer movie been dying for one for years
Yet you are still alive. You will survive, my friend.
We did sorta had one but I don’t think anyone cares about it

That was a pretty intense story. Bringing back Shalla was probably the only way to beat him. How'd Strange do it? Time travel or something?
This was before Shalla-Bal was lost to that giant brain thing. She was just chilling on Zenn-La
´Though her life was bleak and ghastly, her soul blazed with a power that transcends even yours! She loved fully and without qualifications. What would have been the point of restoring my own heart - if i shattered hers in the bargain?´

This channel does comic book stories right. They don't feel dragged out in my experience.
Totally agree... Just the right balance !!
The gauntlet has become a participatory trophy at this point.
We just need Oprah to come out say: "You get a gauntlet! You get a gauntlet! Everyone gets a gauntlet!"
@@chaospoet pretty much. That's how marvel is treating it
This is why I love the Infinity Gauntlet so much. Your imagination is literally being channeled into a powerful weapon.
What if silver surfer had the infinity gauntlet? Thats just shso, where he became *black* and had a cool ass sword. RIP SHSO, my childhood
What's shso?

Super hero squad show
@@paulakroy2635 "My infinity sword! I hope you're happy, you varly corrupted me.. AND I LIKE IT! HAHAHAH!"
The idea of this story got adapted into the second season of the show marvel super hero squad
My memories are giving me mixed feelings. Didn’t like the art style or character personalities but did like the story….
Yes and he became the dark surfer it was pretty dope
The Silver Surfer needs to make his appearance in the mcu asap
*I remember when I first read this, thinking to myself : man, Surfer turned into a little egotistical doughebag for a bit*
Say can we get a Blackfire origin video next month?
Also that thumbnail looks awesome!
Some days I feel like I've watched everything worthwhile on TH-cam, then Variant drops a new video... Once more into the fray, my friends.
hope to see norrin radd soon in upcoming F4 movie in MCU 🔥
Hope so too

Yo thanks for this one Arris. I was waiting for a silver surfer upload recently. U never dissapoint.
Anyone ever ask themselves why Strange didn't simply use the Time stone on Thanos?
Doctor Strange made it clear that there was only one possible scenario that they win (out of the countless he saw)
Scenario 1: Thanos has 4/5 stones and simply overpowers the time stone

(Raises hand)
That show was a parody done right.
I do

I still find it funny that the Infinity Gauntlet wasn't always a big metallic...Gauntlet, but more like a cloth glove.
I always play these while I’m going to bed it helps me sleep and have have awesome dreams
Do you guys hear that?...it sounds like the superhero squad theme song in the distance
Enjoyed the story and hopefully get a Silver Surfer in the MCU I think it would be amazing!
The more videos I see, the more intense and insane comics seem to get!
Kinda weird seeing Stephen Strange quote the gospel of John. Pretty dope
This is from superhero squad right bc I remember silver surfer getting the infinity gems in that.
I love these classic what ifs
Can you do history of Doc Octopus, Rhino, Sandman, Electro, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Morbius. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?
Bro just listed 14 comic characters
Absolutely Beautiful story!
Funny how Dr Strange quotes the words of Jesus Christ in 9:20
Backhanding Shalla-bal was a pimp move Norrin! 😁
Anyone remember the super hero squad show when surfer turned evil?
Yes
Just a wonderful story. Hands down best too 10 what if stories.
I remember the first time I saw Silver Surfer with the infinity gauntlet was when I was a kid watching Super Hero Marvel Squad. As a kid I did not expect him to turn bad but he did look cool when he changed to dark grey.
Silver Surfer: I use the stones to destroy the stones
what a really cool story, Silver Surfer was doing pretty good at first and then he was giving the two-piece pimp slap to his wife
Probably my favorite Marvel What if in the comics.
BEST Story Summarized almost as good as reading it 👍GREAT Job ✅ ty🙏🏼
Thanos Shelby : "so close.... ah yes.... so fucking close. And there's a woman, who i love and i got close.... i nearly got fucking everything"
In super hero squad silver surfer does this and becomes dark surfer
Man, that was some crazy domestic violence going on there.
Yep but on a unnatural scale if ya know what I mean
He would be called the dark surfer
I wish they can make a Good Silver surfer movie I was a huge fan of hid comic book as a kid.
Is the Silver Surfer the most powerful Herald of Galactus? Can you do history of the Heralds of Galactus like Terrax?
Wow! The MCU better step their “What If” game up! I need to see THIS story in the MCU’s “What If” series. Pure awesomeness!!

I like super hero squad’s interpretation of this comic. It’s kind of cool.
As soon as I found this video, I instantly went to the comments to see if anyone knew about that
Aris your videos are nice but you should combine all comic stories after they are finished as one video to simplify it
New favorite "What If" story
Good Ole Norrin Radd. 😎💙🙏🏼
way better than I thought it was gonna be
Silver surfer did good he stoppex himself , and he fixed the problems , and went on to peace , funny it had to be on a pretty remote planet
Happier ending than any of the episodes on Dis+ so far
Can you do history of DC's Shining Knight and Marvel's Black Knight?

Brings back memories....
You got me into comcis when I was 5 thank you msn
Thank you so much for this excellent read!! this adaptation of the What If? series needs to be in the MCU!!!
Amazing explanation
THAT, was an excellent video.
A silver surfer game by insomniac would be amazing
That's a super cool what if 4 sure be interesting on who else would get corrupted if they had the gauntlet
Does Surfer have a comic series running currently?
Currently he’s silver surfer black from the Donny cates run he is also popping up in the current Thor story…. But no solo release right now
Silver Surfer got BARZ I see 🔥 🔥
Great story!! Do What If The Impossible Man got the gauntlet!
That was a great one💯
That back hand tho 😤😂
The first comic i ever owned was the what if the surfer had the gauntlet. Still hits
We did get something similar to that in the Super Hero Squad Show where the Silver Surfer using both the infinity Gauntlet and the infinity sword became the Dark Surfer after the power of the infinity gauntlet corrupted his mind
Having absolute power over all things would in time eventually corrupt you, no matter how good or noble your intentions were.
I guess Silver Surfer used the stones to destroy the stones.

Silver Surfer/Norrin Radd the best characters Stan Lee/Kirby ever conceived. As a grown ass man I still dream of soaring the skyways like the Surfer 😊
100% agree with you 👍
What if Aunt May was Spider-Man is another great What if story. Man, I wish we could have a What If Omnibus
Do you think Silver Surfer is powerful enough to survive if he did the snap with the Infinity Gauntlet? Is he more powerful than Thanos with the Infinity Stones?
I agree well done
This was the greatest what if story ever.
Rare happy ending for a WHAT IF scenario!
Plz do a history of polka dot man
Surfer: (Gets Gauntlet)
Galactus: Damn, My Own Employee with a yellow glove erased me outta reality. Feels Weird.
Please do a Richard dragon history
Yeah this was Good
Started worry about my by for a minute there
What would happen if the Silver Surfer was the leader of the Infinity_Watch? Can you do history of the Silver Surfer, Adam Warlock and the Infinity_Watch?
The inner self will and forever be over taken by ultimate power. Drunken and unsatisfied. No matter who has the gauntlet.
A most interesting story, indeed!
Yep. Absolute power corrupts absolutely!
Welcome to comic book Justice, where we only give comic books Justice!!
So the time stone is in the middle of the gauntlet, unlike in MCU where we have the mind Stone there!
The colours are different in the comics
Nice to see a happy ending for a What-If story
Good job Arrin
