Completely mad. But perhaps he did have a point.
Sure, at the top of his head.
Was that a joke?

Detailed Summary:
The Silver Surfer travels to Earth to learn more about Thanos. He arrives at Avenger's Mansion and is mistaken by She-Hulk for an intruder. Captain America corrects her mistake and welcomes the Surfer.

Captain America reviews with the Silver Surfer the times that the Avengers have battled Thanos in the past. How they and Captain Marvel stopped him from using the Cosmic Cube from becoming a god and how, with Adam Warlock, they stopped him from using the Soul Gems from destroying the universe's stars. They thought he had died after their last conflict, but the Surfer regrets to inform Captain America that he is back with a new plan to cause universal destruction. Cap recommends that the Surfer visit the Saturn moon of Titan to learn more about Thanos.

As the Silver Surfer departs Earth, he once again runs into the Impossible Man. Despite the Surfer's protests, the Impossible Man insists that he needs to teach him to lighten up. He understands that the Surfer is trying to stop Thanos, but he knows that he can't succeed on toughness alone. He has to be the opposite of Thanos. At first the Surfer resists, but eventually gives in and agrees to try and lighten up.
