You were the herald of Galactus. It was your job to find suitable planets for him to consume and to inform that planets inhabitants they were about to be eaten. In return he gave you the power of cosmic, tinting your whole body a luminous silver and gifting you your board which could easily help you fly when standing on it.
It was not always an easy job though, especially when you encountered planets like Earth. More than suitable for potential eating...but protected by a band of four fantastic heroes. That would very much like to prevent this...
You hovered above the planet staring down at the earth from the galaxy on your board when suddenly with a soft pop of air there's another with you...A young man floating next to you with wide brown eyes with one hand on your board. He looks up at you, absolute wonder in his eyes and tightens his grip on your board, hanging on. "Hi..." He murmurs. He's clearly come to negotiate for the fate of his world...but seems a bit starstruck almost.
