Morg's
first appearance and origin are told in The Silver Surfer #70. Silver Surfer #70 reigns in
a new era for Galactus's Heralds and begins a dramatic six part epic entitled "The
Herald Ordeal". Part 1 begins by revealing Nova has lied to Galactus about
finding a planet with adequate sustenance for him to feast upon. Apparently Nova has
developed a conscience. Galactus finds the planet Nova was lying about and prepares to
devour the life energy. Suddenly Morg, the Court Executioner approaches Galactus ready to
stay his mighty hand. Humored by Morg's outrageous boasting Galactus shares his plan to
destroy Morg's home 
world. Morg has no compassion for
his world's fate, an attribute that Galactus finds useful. Encasing Morg in a protective
shell, Galactus destroys Morg's planet and consumes it's energies. Then to Nova's surprise
she is released from Galactus's servitude. Realizing his mistakes from the past, Galactus
turns toward Morg as his new Herald, believing this fearless, blood thirsty and completely
amoral creature will serve him well. As Morg swears his allegiance, Galactus grants Morg
the cosmic might to rival his first turncoat Herald, the Silver Surfer... turning him into
Morg the Berzerker. The Herald Ordeal is the first time all former Herald's of Galactus
are assembled together (except the Destroyer). Even Gabriel is resurrected to do battle
with Morg. The series concludes in Silver Surfer #75 with the death of Nova and Morg. In
victory Terrax claims Morg's cosmic ax. In contrast, the Silver Surfer mourns the death of
his friend and companion Nova.
