Silver Surfer- Solid Damage but severe lack of utility

Silver Surfer is probably the most controversial champion released in this game yet. There are many that despise the way he is handled and there are a few Surfer "cult" members who embrace him. I personally think that he is a solid champ if you are looking for an okay damage dealer but that's about it. Why does he lack utility many other cosmic champions have? As time has shown, champs with both a solid amount of utility and damage are used in the end contents. There are a few abilities that I think kabam missed out on. For instance... energy absorption. Why not give him any energy resistance buffs? It would be unique to him as they are only seen as a node at the moment. Then there his thick impenetrable skin. No reason why he should be bleeding especially powered by the iso-8. He doesn't have to gain any bonuses from it or anything just have him be passively immune to it. Surfer doesn't need to be poison immune but one simple immunity like this can change everything. They can even capitalize on this further by making his Terrax synergy more useful. Rather than an indestructible buff activating when a certain amount of damage is dealt to you, how about making it activate when he is struck. His vigilance buff could also use a bit of tweaking as well. Since he possess cosmic senses, why not allow him to bypass evade, auto block, and miss with this buff? His damage doesn't need to be changed imo but he definitely needs more utility to become immortalized in this game.

    Not to be rude but it might help your cause if you structured your ideas/arguments/opinions in paragraphs to present your overall post more clearly. Some people might be more inclined to read through it.

    Surfer is made of cosmic energy, and last time I checked, energy does not bleed. I feel like shock should empower him. He's pretty fun to play though.

    He should have his Blackened Form activate after using the Power Cosmic too many times, have that accomplished by having his Buffs active too long or using too many Specials maybe, leading to a more Utility based Form that has a lot more Phasing as well as Immunities. But then you'd also have to make a way to swap him back for when you want the Extra Damage, maybe after an Sp3?
