Silver Surfer, also known as Silver Surfer: The Animated Series, is an animated television series based on the Marvel Comics superhero which aired on the Fox Kids Network in 1998. Blending cel and computer animation, this series was rendered in the style of Surfer creator Jack Kirby. This series drastically altered much of the comic book incarnation of the story. The most notable change is the specific removal of the Fantastic Four and Watcher completely from Galactus assault on Earth. In this series version of events, instead the Silver Surfer is not inspired by the actions of the Fantastic... Four to protect Earth from Galactus's hunger, but is promoted by anger resulting from the Surfer's first encounter with Thanos, who temporarily restores Norrin Radd's memories to the Silver Surfer. Most of the other familiar characters are also largely changed from their printed page backgrounds such as Thanos who is in this series serves Lady Chaos rather than Death itself, Adam Warlock of this series was created as an alien supersoldier specifically against the Kree, rather than an Earth made enhanced human and the Watcher alien race has been destroyed with the exception of Uatu.
