Shortly thereafter, Zenn-La suffered an invasion attempt by the Skrulls and, later, by the Kree. The Surfer was eventually permanently freed from his exile. Shalla Bal, with her newfound abilities, was made Empress of Zenn-La.
Kree-Skrull WarĮlsewhere in the universe, the Kree-Skrull War raged. The Silver Surfer was temporarily freed from captivity, rescued Shalla Bal, and imbued her with a portion of his power cosmic, which allowed her to slowly restore life-sustaining properties to Zenn-La, including abundant regeneration of plant life. Adding to their misery, the dark creature Mephisto kidnapped Shalla Bal, the Surfer's long lost love.
They blamed the Silver Surfer for what happened, and a deep resentment festered in them. Months later, the Zenn-Lavians deemed it safe to return, and set up refugee camps to live in. Galactus then stripped the planet bare of the energies he craved, leaving the planet a barren and devastated wasteland. In another remarkable allowance, Galactus allowed twenty-four hours for the Zenn-Lavians to flee the doomed world, though only about 500 individuals would survive. He returned to Zenn-La and announced his intention to consume the planet. After the Silver Surfer betrayed his master, Galactus felt he was no longer obligated to keep his vow. The Return of GalactusĪfter centuries if not millennia of service to Galactus-the timespan has never been made clear-the Silver Surfer was exiled and imprisoned on Earth. No one, including the Surfer, was aware of what had transpired. He knew that one day the Surfer would no longer be in his service, and wished that he would have a home to return to. In an uncharacteristic act of compassion, Galactus recreated everything, restoring the people and the entire world exactly as it was. Galactus and the Surfer were in the same star system, but were rendered catatonic by the Other. In 1947, a species known only as the Other came to Zenn-La and completely destroyed every person and all signs of civilization on the planet. Radd was transformed into the Silver Surfer, and left his homeworld for the stars. In return, Galactus would not harm Zenn-La. One man, Norrin Radd, made a pact with the Planet Eater to become his herald. Employing that wrought severe destruction -and death- upon Zenn-la and knocked other planets from their orbits, but did not affect Galactus at all. When the Devourer of Worlds, Galactus, came to consume Zenn-La, the people had no defense against him, except the Weapon Supreme. The peak of Zenn-Lavian magi-tech was a device called the Illuminatrix, that allowed for a world to be re-shaped to Zenn-La's image. In reality, authorities kept the Zenn-Lavians to themselves to prevent their arrogance from prompting them to share and overwrite the cultures of more primitive worlds with their perfect culture, and destroy everything that made them unique. It was common belief that this was due to no other world being capable of offering anything Zenn-La didn't already have, and in order to keep it safe from the rest of the universe. It was considered unnecessary for Zenn-Lavians to explore beyond their planet. They grew apathetic and indulgent in their utopia, with all of their needs cared for by machines. After they had probed much of known space, the Zenn-Lavians withdrew to their homeworld. In the Age of Space Travel, space explorers became their greatest heroes, who visited a thousand galaxies. Their lifespans were dramatically increased. Over the next hundred centuries, the Zenn-Lavians experienced the Golden Age of Reason, and overcame war, poverty, crime, disease, and want. Her followers then decided to join the rest of the population and follow the path of science, realizing that if they continued their course, their species would be extinct within a few generations.
The Warlord died while trying to pilot a flying craft, and her generals dispersed. She united the warring nations, amassing the greatest army the planet had ever seen. Zenn-La City was the first to give itself over to science it was home to Norrin Konn, later revered as the "Father of Zenn-La".Ī warlord believed that embracing science would strip the people of their passion, and fought a bloody civil war against those trusting in science. Thrann, the Saint of Science, encouraged the people to embrace science and rational thinking. In desperation to preserve their race, the Zenn-Lavians made science their god.
Their Age of Warfare lasted ten thousand centuries. Among their gods were Thrann, Iroxx, and Siri Ullall. In ancient times, Zenn-La was home to the barbaric and violent polytheistic Zenn-Lavians. The planet Zenn-La was created billions of years in the past by the time-displaced Silver Surfer, who expended the last of his Power Cosmic to give life to a barren world.
