Thor vs the Silver Surfer
As the avid Old-Wizard reader knows, a while back we released a “Top Ten Most Powerful Superheroes” list, and then last week we decided to defend some of our choices (especially in picking Thor as the number one most powerful superhero over Superman, which seemed to have angered many of our readers). You can read that article here. But as many emails pointed out last week, we never actually discussed why the Silver Surfer was lower than Thor on our list. Makes sense… Superman was number three on our list, while the Surfer was our number two pick. So this week we decided to break down the reasons why we chose to place Thor at number one on our most powerful superhero list over the Silver Surfer. This was actually the hardest decision that we had to make on the entire list, and we argued about it for hours (well, we’ve been arguing about this one since we were in high school) but we finally decided on making Thor the number one most powerful superhero of all time. And here are the reasons:

Top 10 Most Powerful Superheroes of All Time
Here it is folks, the biggest debate on the whole interweb. Never has there been a more well thought out argument for a completely non-existent thing. Which superhero could beat up which other superhero. Never has a group of people spent more time drawing graphs, doing calculations, making charts, and writing computer programs to prove that the hero they love is in fact the toughest. These people do more literature searches than a graduate student writing their dissertation on literature. One can only imagine what world problems could be solved if comic book nerds would instead focus this same energy on say; poverty, healthcare, the climate, pollution, the economy, childhood obesity, cancer, sudden infant death syndrome, racism, genetic disorders, violence against women, the melting ice caps, sending a man to mars, depression, solving Goldbach’s conjecture, creating a unified field theory, un-raveling the mystery of DNA, figuring out what happened before the big bang, resolving religious tensions in the Middle East, finding peace on Earth, making cleaner cars, sustainable energy, nuclear fission, getting rid of hippies, and the million other things that would make this world a better place to live in.

Movie Review: The Fantastic 4 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Walking into the movie theater having seen the trailer for The Fantastic Four 2: Rise of the Silver Surfer about 30 times, I was as giddy as a school boy. My anticipation for this movie had slowly grown to epic proportions ever since I first found out the surfer would be in a live action feature film. I re-read all my Silver Surfer comics, spent hours trying to unlock the surfer in Marvel Ultimate Alliance for Xbox, and I even broke out my Silver Surfer action figure in numerous staged battles between him and Beta Ray Bill on my living room floor.
