History: (Silver Surfer V#3 (fb) - BTS) - Horacio was a 77-year-old Mexican, who was suffering from liver cancer. (Silver Surfer V#3) - Horacio, his granddaughter Almita and others tried to illegally pass the US-Mexican border. They got stuck in the Chihuahuan Desert where Horacio nearly died of dehydration. They witnessed the High Evolutionary creating a garden within the desert, using Galactus' Star Sphere, which created water. Horacio drank from the water and thanked the High Evolutionary. When Horacio and his fellow travelers were saved by Norrin Radd and Suzi Endo from the overgrowth, Horacio suddenly transformed into a Silver Surfer-like being because he drank from the water, which was imbued with the Power Cosmic and the Silver Surfer's DNA. After his transformation he left his family and friends to join the High Evolutionary. (Silver Surfer V#4 - BTS) - Horacio traveled with the High Evolutionary to the Moon, witnessing how the Evolutionary turned the Moon into a living planetoid. (Silver Surfer V#5) - Horacio sat on the gigantic High Evolutionary's shoulder when he was confronted by Mr. Fantastic about turning the Moon into a living planetoid. Horacio joined the newly formed life forms on the Moon when the Thing attacked the High Evolutionary. When Galactus arrived on the Moon to confront the High Evolutionary Horacio returned to his master's shoulder. He left along with the High Evolutionary and the Star Sphere when Galactus allowed them to leave.
