Morg is a Supervillain in the Marvel Comics Universe . He first appeared in '' Silver Surfer '' (vol 3) #70.

CHARACTER HISTORY


Origin

Morg served as a herald of Galactus after Galactus' previous herald, Nova quit. Galactus searched for the most brutal, remorseless person he could find, and he found Morg; an executioner who had betrayed his own species by becoming the executioner for the species that had defeated them.

Morg gladly accepted the task of being Galactus' herald. Much like former herald Terrax , Morg also wielded a large axe.


Becoming Galactus' Herald

Two former heralds, Silver Surfer and Firelord , learning about Morg after discovering that Nova had left Galactus expressed their concerns to Galactus about Morg's low morals but were dismissed. Morg battled and easily defeated them both.

Seeking reinforcements, Silver Surfer and , whom they had to unearth from his grave and reassemble. During this time, Morg discovered a powerful pool akin to the Fountain of Youth on a planet he'd lead Galactus to. The pool enhanced Morg's powers exponentially before he returned to his master and the planet was destroyed.

The assembled heralds confronted Morg together and were easily defeated. In the battle, Air-Walker was severely damaged again and Morg killed Nova by blasting her in the back when he was thought to have been beaten. Galactus was not pleased with this, so he removed the power cosmic that he had imbued in Morg, leaving him with only the power he'd gained from the pool he'd discovered. In his weakened state, Morg was killed by Terrax. To repay Galactus the inconvenience of losing his herald, both Firelord and Air Walker volunteered to stay with him.

Months later, Galactus resurrected Morg to give him a second chance. Morg attacked Firelord and the newly rebuilt Air-Walker, easily defeating them both and nearly destroying Air Walker again. Morg then went off in search of Terrax to enact vengeance upon him, but in their battle they were ambushed by robots working for the villain Tyrant and were taken captive.

Morg, along with fellow captives Silver Surfer, Terrax, Gladiator , Beta Ray Bill , Captain Marvel , Jack Of Hearts and Ganymede fought back against Tyrant and were easily defeated until Galactus arrived to even the playing field. Morg had been overwhelmed and destroyed by Tyrant's robots in the battle but could be remade again. Tyrant would not allow this, however, as, just to annoy Galactus, he allowed all the other captives to go free except for Morg.

Tyrant rebuilt Morg himself this time and implanted an artificial intelligence inside him to influence his actions. Morg went back to his master Galactus once more and served for a brief time during which he acquired The Ultimate Nullifier . In a battle between Galactus and Tyrant taking place in ''Silver Surfer'' (vol. 3) #109, Morg melted most of Tyrant's body with blasts from the nullifier then betrayed both masters by cutting off his own arm that he'd implanted the Nullifier into and setting it off while trying to escape. His escape failed and the Nullifier exploded, destroying Galactus' ship and all aboard. Morg and Tyrant have not appeared since and are presumed dead. Galactus was believed dead for a while but has resurfaced since multiple times over.


POWERS AND ABILITIES

Morg was imbued with the Power Cosmic by Galactus, as he did with all his heralds. This allowed Morg to fly through space and granted him exponentially enhanced strength, stamina and durability. It also allowed him to fire blasts of powerful energy channeled through his axe. The mystical pool Morg submerged himself in boosted each of these abilities further, making him more powerful than any other single herald, perhaps even more so than the Silver Surfer.


APPEARANCES IN OTHER MEDIA

Morg was to have appeared in the second season of The Silver Surfer (TV Series) . His appearance was in "Soul Hunter, Part 1". The Silver Surfer had to save The Universal Library from Morg and Thiran. Both are part of a race called the Sargs. The show was canceled, however, before Season 2 could happen.
