Norman Richards (Earth-779)

"Here I am, a silver man flying around on a surfboard, naked. What can I say? It's a gift from God."

- Silver Surfer

Powers and Abilities
A wielder of the Power Cosmic, the Silver Surfer is an Ascendant wielding an unprecendented amount of power. He is classified as a Light Ascendant due to his affiliation to the good end of the spectrum. As of any other Ascendants, Norman is capable of using the Power Cosmic for unlimited purposes. In fact, he's an omnipotent being limited only by his lack of knowledge. His power constantly grows every second he lives, with him potentially having full omnipotence within years to come. With powers coming from what he believed the Power Cosmic should have, the Silver Surfer can manipulate different types of energies and project them as either constructs or blasts. His physicality is also increased to immense superhuman levels, being regarded as the strongest human alive when he first gained his powers. His surfboard on the other hand, was generated subconsciously by Norman himself when he thought of a quick method of transportation. Although a temporary solution, it ended up being an icon of Norman himself being the Silver Surfer. The surfboard is made of pure Power Cosmic itself and can be used for many things, among them being as a signal beacon, a tracking device, as well as an automatic defense system with it being capable of launching out interceptor projectiles. The surfboard, while iconic, is actually one of the many things the Silver Surfer can construct with his Power Cosmic. He can reform and dematerialize his surfboard at will, but he can also do the same thing to other things he can make, both physical and non-physical ones. He can create a fully-functioning telephone, a trident that acts as a conduit for the Power Cosmic, and even things like a wi-fi network and an entire facility. He can also transmutate matter and rearrange molecular structures. The Silver Surfer is basically a near-invulnerable, godlike being that roams the Earth with good intentions. However, against threats of similar level he can get injured. Luckily, the Power Cosmic within every Ascendants is basically infinite and can heal them (including Norman) in a near-instantaneous pace. Resurrection is possible with the power, but self-resurrection is beyond that for unknown reasons. Norman, in both his forms, is functionally immortal and can only killed by physical means appropriate for both forms. In other words, the Silver Surfer may can survive the searing heat of a supernova, but Norman can't survive being beaten up to death by some thugs.
