Did Marvel Actually Make a Female Silver Surfer?

Did Marvel really make a Female Silver Surfer? Yes — and her story is one of the most powerful and tragic in Marvel Comics history. Her name is Shalla Bal, the wife of Norrin Radd, the original Silver Surfer. In the alternate universe series Earth X, a darker future of the Marvel Universe, Shalla Bal inherits the Power Cosmic and joins Norrin as a herald of Galactus. But during their final mission, she’s struck down — and in one of the most emotional scenes ever drawn, Galactus himself catches her body in his hand. To truly understand that moment, you have to go back to Silver Surfer #1 (1968). That’s where we meet Norrin Radd — a man who sacrifices everything, offering himself to Galactus in exchange for sparing his world and the woman he loves. He becomes the Silver Surfer not for glory, but for love. When Shalla Bal later returns as the Female Silver Surfer, it isn’t a gimmick — it’s the continuation of their story across galaxies. So now the question is — when the MCU resets its timeline, will we finally see the original Silver Surfer, or will Marvel introduce Shalla Bal as their first cosmic herald?
