History

When Thanos acquired the Infinity Gauntlet, he used it to wipe out beings in the universe in an effort to appease Death. Silver Surfer teamed up with Adam Warlock and Doctor Strange to oppose him and went to enlist the New Fantastic Four for help. Warlock would not reveal the plan and so the New Fantastic Four did not trust them and group left. Their plan amounted to the Silver Surfer attempting to steal the gauntlet from Thanos. Wolverine (then pretending to be loyal to Thanos), alerted him to Surfer's arrival, but Thanos already sensed it and effortlessly vaporized him.

However, after Thanos was defeated by the New Fantastic Four and Spider-Man acquired the Infinity Gauntlet, all of those killed by Thanos (save Mephisto), were resurrected, including Silver Surfer.^[1]
