Silver Surfer (Universe 2009)

The Silver Surfer was once the thrall to the mighty planet eater Galactus, but has since regained his free-will and adopted Earth as it's home. He has been aiding the superheroes of Earth in their struggles against evil and helping the Fantastic Four hold of Galactus. Looking for himself, the Surfer returned to deep space and has once more become Galactus' herald, and guides him to uninhabited planet where he can do no harm- or to the planet he can do the least harm.

History
The Silver Surfer has served the world devouring Galactus for generations as his herald, but had a change of heart while scouting out Earth, and decicded to help humanity fight off the hungry giant. After that the Surfer has adopted Earth as his home and has sworn to defend it, often aiding it's superheroes in their battles against crime.

Sometime after Tony Stark was appointed director of S.H.I.E.L.D. the Silver Surfer went back into the deep reaches of space, looking for himself. His sudden disappearance worried Tony and Commander Maria Hill, who filed a report about her concerns that this involved a direct threat to the planet.
