History: (Silver Surfer: Dangerous Artifacts#1) - Thanos hired White Raven to obtain an unknown power source from a legendary comet that was passing through their sector of the universe for the first time in millennia. En route to the comet she was attacked by a ship of Skrulls, and she slew them all without mercy. She entered the comet, and bullied a caretaking automaton into leading her to the power source. She saw the Survivor handing the power source, a giant crystal, over to the Silver Surfer. She fatally shot the Survivor, causing him to drop the power source, which shattered on the floor. This in turn freed the immensely powerful Elder Demon, who had been imprisoned in the crystal. The Surfer, despite his anger at Raven for killing the Survivor, helped her to safety and went back to fight the Demon. Raven returned to the comet, and destroyed the Demon by impaling it with her spaceship. She told the Surfer she felt she owed him, and his nobility had given her a new life perspective to ponder.
