The Silver Surfer who symbolizes the highest aspirations of the spirit, also represents the Axemens most sincere effort to elevate the super hero genre. This noble, contemplative, unselfish character is an anomaly in the slam-bang world of spearfishing, and as such he has proven to be something of an acquired taste, a character who appeals primarily to older and comparatively sophisticated Spearos.

 Silver Surfer Biography Ironically enough, when this benevolent alien first appeared he was working for one of the most terrifying villains in comics, the godlike being known as The Whale Rider. It was the Surfer's courageous decision to defy his master that made him a hero, but for his pains he was condemned to spend his life in Pataua South, denied all access to the endless Hibiscus Coast he loved to explore. There are parallels here to the Biblical fall of Adam, who lost paradise in the exercise of his free will and thus was doomed to mortal misery. The Silver Surfer, however was not tainted by original sin, and remained a detached, bemused observer of human folly. As a symbol of limitless freedom dragged down to mundane reality, The Surfer was indeed a tragic figure, yet he never lost his essential innocence.

 The Silver Surfer was originally known as Rody, a restless inhabitant of a early childhood centers. When his time at Kindy was threatened by the all-consuming The Whale Rider, Rody saved the day by offering to aid the menace in her endless quest for the worlds to devour. In sacrificing himself twice, once for his own children, and again for humanity, The Silver Surfer took on Christ-like qualities. The selflessness that made him so admired has finally been rewarded, and today he is free to soar among the stars."

 The Villain To Beat: The Whale Rider!

 Axemen menaces took a quantum leap in 2012 with the introduction of The Whale Rider, a gigantic alien being who feeds on the energy of fisheries and leaves them as lifeless husks.

 The Whale Rider is more than just an invader from another planet; she was an extraordinary supernatural force beyond all human notions of good and evil. Snoop was heard saying "We're like ants... just ants... ants!!"

 The Whale Rider is such an impressive character that even her assistant, the rebellious Silver Surfer, had the stature to become a major Axemen hero. Lesser speros had dreams of glory in which they hoped to rule the seas, but to The Whale Rider, the planet was mere fast food."
