Pain and love has over the centuries contributed 80% of the literature (if want apple pie on your face, please DO quote me) and as I am perpetually in love and with onset on this severe pain (nothing terminal-just a tooth ache) it becomes my moral obligation to dish out some inane crap.
Pain was never my forte and my love is BHESON MEETHA(sweet) and too personal to discuss here. But then have to CRAP so will crap about love albeit a different kind – John Lenon-ish kinds the Universal Kinds and as I am not too much into soul-searching and redemption bit so will talk abt one Comic Characters THE COSMIC PHILOSHPER – The Silver Surfer.
Bit About Him
Created by Jack Kirby ,it was Stan Lee who gave Silver Surfer(Norrin Radd) his NOBILTY.
- Born is planet of Zen Lah
- Madly in love with Shala ba and later mantis and briefly with NOVA(another herald of Galactus)
- Galactus gave him 'Power Cosmic' and Surfboard that can travel at phenomenal speeds and is telepahically linked to the Surfer
- Mephisto-the lord of underworld ,thanos ,elder etc are his arch enemines
Why do I like him….
Cos he is like a typical character out Shakespearean Drama- He talks to himself! Most of his soliloquies (mind you they are the very best) are about love and longing, about men and mankind, and about freedom. And yea he is from city of nawabs - lucknow for he is forever speaking in the third person. See for yourself
“IN EVERY PART OF THE GLOBE IT THE SAME!
HATRED, FEAR AND UNREASONING HOSTILITY HAVE POSSED THE MENS HEARTS!
BUT SILVER SURFER WILL BE NO PART OF IT”
Yea he is true blue tragic Shakespearean hero with all the trapping – Angst, anger, righteousness, longing desire, lost love, misunderstood, and on the path of redemption.
