  Silver Surfer - Marvel Universe: The definitive online source for Marvel super hero bios.
The Surfer formed a temporary alliance with the Hulk and Namor the Sub-Mariner to oppose a new weather technology that threatened to destroy the world; these "Titans Three" completed their mission despite the misguided interference of the Avengers, and even toppled a minor hostile dictator along the way.
The Surfer became embroiled in fresh hostilities between the interstellar Kree and Skrull empires, and intervened in a series of plots by the Elders of the Universe, who planned to destroy Galactus, and the universe with him-in order to become the supreme powers of a new universe.
The Surfer thwarted the Elders with the aid of his new love interest Mantis, the Earth-born cosmic heroine also known as the Celestial Madonna, but she seemingly died in the process; though she would later return, she never fully renewed her romance with the Surfer.

 BBC - h2g2 - Silver Surfer - Comic Book Hero
The Silver Surfer first came to prominence in comics as an enemy of Earth and of the superhero 'family' the Fantastic Four in particular, but his origins are complex.
The Silver Surfer is a humanoid being called Norrin Radd, who comes from the planet Zenn-La. Now, to cut a long and somewhat unbelievable story short, the planet Zenn-La had come to the attention of one Galactus, a god-like being who, when he felt a tad peckish, ate planets.
Thus the Surfer is invulnerable to most forms of physical harm and is able to withstand extremes of temperature caused by the build-up of friction or the vacuum of deep space, or even the intense heat of nearby stars.

 The Silver Surfer Reviews
This is the story that first introduced the Silver Surfer and Galactus, with the Fantastic Four and the enigmatic Watcher facing the unstoppable might of the planet-eating Galactus and his herald, the Silver Surfer.
The definitive depicter of the Silver Surfer is "Big" John Buscema, whose rendering instilled in the brooding hero power, yet also elegance and dignity, adding presence to Stan Lee's prose in the pages of the Silver Surfer's self-titled comic in the late '60s/early '70s.
Silver Surfer: Parable is also nicely self-contained -- a true "graphic novel": despite the global threat of Galactus, no other super-heroes show up, and there's little need to be familiar with ever nuance of the Marvel Universe.

 The Silver Surfer - Don Markstein's Toonopedia
Tho he hadn't planned for The Silver Surfer to be there, Lee picked right up on the character, and a conflict between Galactus and The Surfer became a pivotal point in the story's resolution.
Some of Lee's best writing went into The Silver Surfer's monologues, but they worked better when played against other superheroes, than when the character was alone in the panel.
Eventually, The Surfer was freed from his imprisonment on Earth, and that opened up new story possibilities — to say nothing of cutting down on monologues that had become hard to distinguish from common, ordinary whining.

Aside from energy absorption, the Silver Surfer can also manipulate almost all forms of energies such as altering the path energy travels, negating it, solidifying it into a physical structure/object, converting it to another form of energy altogether, healing the wounded, reviving the recently-deceased, hastening or reversing the effects of age and so on..
The Silver Surfer possesses some telepathy, however this is primarily used to converse with alien races, but he has been able to erect psionic shielding and project telepathic assaults, but they are best targeted against those with no psionic protection and low willpower.

The Surfer, meanwhile, helped the FF defeat the cosmic-powered Tyros (formerly Galactus's herald Terrax) and locate a missing Reed Richards, helped Earth's heroes neutralize the threat of the near-omnipotent Beyonder, and teamed with the Molecule Man to undo much of the damage done to Earth by the Beyonder.

The Surfer is definitely verging on the category - I mean, he flies around outer space on a surfboard, for heaven's sake.
That said, this is a series where the stated approach of the creators - writing from the perspective of normal people rather than the Surfer - does lend itself to this approach anyway.

The Silver Surfer is a super hero who cruises through the universe on a surfboard – he doesn’t need a spacesuit or a spaceship with hyper-drive.
Naturally, the Silver Surfer is modelled standing on a 1-piece surfboard (in the cartoons, his board looks like a short ice-cream stick), and the board and figure are perched on a 2-piece stand.
The finishing touches were to brush-paint the step in the belly of the surfboard with flat fl to blend-in with the stand, and to glue a couple of bits of plastic against the walls of the sockets in the surfboard that accepted the pegs under Silver Surfers feet.
