You mentioned that silver surfer only had a supporting role in Marvel comics. This is false, since he had a long running comic devoted just to himself called "silver surfer". It was my favorite while it lasted.

Uh... this is a fictitious movie character y'all are talking about, right?

Funny. I didn’t catch that angle.

Not that we were supposed to dwell on it for more than 0.1 seconds.

The character has more to do with jeans than genes (hawr, hawr, wheeze).

In the movie she is supposed to be geneticist.

Funny. I didn't catch that angle. Very bizarre, really, but I guess it's more PC to have her also be brainy.

Actually, it’s her husband, Reed Richards, that’s the brainy scientist. As best I can tell, Sue Storm/Richards never graduated college.

I was thinking the other day, when going through my old comics and trying to decide whether to sell them, that the Silver Surfer is an absurdly ridiculous character. I mean, a surfboard?

That said, the picture is cool and I hope they do a good job of it (not that I saw the first FF movie).

Sue Storm/Richards: Lolita/Porn Star/Gold Digger/Superhero

If the progression is correct, next up is "Elected Official."

Actually, it's her husband, Reed Richards, that's the brainy scientist. As best I can tell, Sue Storm/Richards never graduated college. The origin has been recast several times since my comics reading days but this is what Wikipedia has:

While living with her aunt, Susan, at the young age of 12, met her future husband, Reed Richards, a house guest who was attending college. When she graduated high school, she moved to California to attend college, where she pursued an acting career and encountered Richards again. The two of them began to become romantically involved with each other.

Good god, not Jessica Alba as the brainy scientist chic again. She is hot, but damn that is a complete mis-casting there.
