SILVER SURFER (NORRIN RADD)
EARTH-616

In Silver Surfer (1989) #22, titled “Monsters… from the Ego!”, Silver Surfer performs an energy projection feat. Ego The Living Planet has imprisoned Silver Surfer on its surface without his board and intends to consume the Silver Surfer’s Power Cosmic. During the battle, Silver Surfer powers Galactus‘ propulsion device on Ego’s south pole, to send it to a nearby star.

How much energy projection does it take for Silver Surfer to power Ego’s propulsion device taking it out of orbit?

SILVER SURFER POWERED EGO’S PROPULSION DEVICE WITH A COSMIC BLAST CLOSER TO A NEARBY SUN 142500000000 METERS AWAY.

RELEVANTLY, EGO THE LIVING PLANET HAS HALF THE EARTH’S SIZE WITH SIMILAR GRAVITY AND ATMOSPHERE.

SILVER SURFER GENERATED 5.858532*1025 NEWTONS OF FORCE. SIMILARLY, THE EQUIVALENT OF 8.3484081*1036 JOULES OF WORK. ENOUGH TO SHATTER A LARGE STAR.

SUPER STRENGTH FEAT:

MULTI-SOLAR SYSTEM

Energy Projection: Multi-Solar System 58%

Silver Surfer powered Ego’s propulsion device with the Power Cosmic to the nearest sun. We will calculate the thrust necessary to move Ego closer to the sun to estimate Silver Surfer’s energy projection.

NUMBER CRUNCHING

From Marvel Universe: The Appendix! and Marvel Database, we learn Ego has gravity similar to Earth with a diameter of 6701480 meters. We will assume the distance between the sun and Ego is the same as the distance between Earth and the sun. Also, we will assume Ego has the same mass as the Earth of 5.972*1024 kg. Since Ego got close to the sun without burning, the planet approached 142500000000 meters.

First, let’s calculate the thrust on Ego.
F = ma = (5.972*1024 kg)(9.81 m/s2) = 5.858532e+25 N.

Then we calculate the work done.
W = Fd = (5.858532e+25 N)(142500000000 m) = 8.3484081e+36 J.

ENERGY PROJECTION


Silver Surfer generated 5.858532e+25 N of force to move Ego the Living Planet. Silver Surfer had to generate a Multi-Solar System-Level of Energy Projection.
