How is it I never put together "Surfer" and "Radd"? Perhaps because he's always "Norrin Radd" in the comics, and his last name is never alone. But, since "rad" didn't really become a thing until the late 70s and into the 80s and Silver Surfer's first appearance was in 1966, I guess that was just pure coincidence.

I feel like more recent depictions of the surfboard do have the fins on the bottom instead of being just a flat line, but I could be hallucinating that. But, in any case, I think the girls will also enjoy that the Dan Slott/Michael Allred run of Silver Surfer gave the board a name: Toomie. Named by Surfer's companion at the time, because of Norrin's constant cry of "To me, my board!"

With modern coloring, Surfer does display a wider range of colors and more dimensionality, and even before that, Ron Lim (one of the classic Marvel Cosmic artists) was really good at making him actually look metallic and reflective.

I knew Silver Sable would get a lot of love, especially in that outfit. He home country of Symkaria is supposed to be between Serbia and Romania, just south of the also fictional Latveria. When you get to the W issues there's a map under the Wundagore entry showing some fictional countries like Latveria, but I don't think Symkaria is included. According to various Spider-Man stories, Silver Sable's Wild Pack did get benefits and hazard pay and if they were killed on a mission, their families would be provided for.
