The Zenn-Lavians were a peaceful race that resided on the planet of Zenn-La. A Utopian paradise, they developed sciences that eliminated all forms of disease. The Zenn-Lavians also created a social structure which eliminated poverty, and hardship from their people. However, their great accomplishments may have been their greatest curse, because Zenn-La was the first planet selected by Galactus to provide him sustenance for his relentless hunger. Galactus spared Zenn-La, due to the unselfish plea of Norrin Radd's to become his herald the Silver Surfer and help him locate other planets to provide him nourishment.
