The problem with a character holding omnipotent power - is that he can do anything. Except, of course, be in a story that really tells anything new at all. I wish that these stories could tell something - or bring back some of the real conflict - and for now, all that Silver Surfer can do is try to assimilate himself - and then complain about the lack of ability to really function in any kind of a normal way within the society. Here, for example, he is able to unlock doors with his mind, and change a metal ashtray to gold. But a suit alteration? For that, we need to bring in a guy. And of course, he tends to be from the miserable side of the planet. One positive thing - the conflict comes from one of the few characters that has any hope of fighting with the Silver Surfer - Human Torch. And although Silver Surfer runs into the barrier - YET AGAIN - he still really has no idea how to use his brain in these fights. The end of this run cannot come soon enough.
