Morg
Morg's first appearance and origin are told in The Silver Surfer #70.
Silver Surfer #70 reigns in a new era for Galactus's Heralds and begins a
dramatic six part epic entitled "The Herald Ordeal". Part 1 begins
by revealing Nova has lied to Galactus about finding a planet with adequate
sustenance for him to feast upon. Apparently Nova has developed a conscience.
Galactus finds the planet Nova was lying about and prepares to devour the
life energy. Suddenly Morg, the Court Executioner approaches Galactus ready
to stay his mighty hand. Humored by Morg's outrageous boasting Galactus shares
his plan to destroy Morg's home
world. Morg has no compassion for his world's fate, an attribute that
Galactus finds useful. Encasing Morg in a protective shell, Galactus destroys
Morg's planet and consumes it's energies. Then to Nova's surprise she is
released from Galactus's servitude. Realizing his mistakes from the past,
Galactus turns toward Morg as his new Herald, believing this fearless, blood
thirsty and completely amoral creature will serve him well. As Morg swears
his allegiance, Galactus grants Morg the cosmic might to rival his first
turncoat Herald, the Silver Surfer... turning him into Morg the Berzerker.
The Herald Ordeal is the first time all former Herald's of Galactus are assembled
together (except the Destroyer). Even Gabriel is resurrected to do battle
with Morg. The series concludes in Silver Surfer #75 with the death of Nova
and Morg. In victory Terrax claims Morg's cosmic ax. In contrast, the Silver
Surfer mourns the death of his friend and companion Nova.
