Nova Appreciation 2021

[LAWtoyoto 432]

This thread is reserved for discussing things that have related to Nova Corps. Mostly for Richard Rider and Sam Alexander prominently. So please be civil during the posts. Alway treat each other as a fan if you want to grow your community.

RICHARD RIDER


As a teenager, Richard Rider inherited the powers of Nova from a dying Nova Prime. Early on in his career, he fought crime as the Human Rocket but was called to space to serve the Nova Corps. He eventually returned to Earth and became a founding member of the New Warriors, but when the Annihilation Wave threatened Xandar, the home of the Nova Corps, Richard left Earth once again. However, the Annihilation Wave destroyed Xandar, leaving Richard as the sole survivor of the Nova Corps, imbuing him with the full power of the Nova Force. Fearing that the power within him would overwhelm him, Richard allied himself with the Worldmind, a living computer within the Nova Force, in order to control his new powers. He eventually partnered with Peter Quill in forming a group meant to battle greater cosmic threats in the galaxy, the Guardians of the Galaxy.

SAM ALEXANDER


Aspiring to follow in his father's footsteps to protect the galaxy, young Sam Alexander joined the Nova Corps, an intergalactic peacekeeping force. The Nova Force grants him strength, speed, and the ability to fly, hence the nickname "The Human Rocket."

You've jumped the gun. An admin will probably go around locking all the appreciation threads on New Year's Eve, so you should wait until then to make new ones for the new year.

Oh year, but I will forgot if waiting until the new year.

Sam needs a better supporting cast and villains besides his mom, his sister, Kaldera and Titus.

Blue Blazes! If at all possible, I would like it if Rich Rider could interact with his old supporting cast again (especially Ginger Jaye ):

After his revival and subsequent membership with the New Warriors, Rich Rider had several of the industry's finest do work on his adventures.

Some favorites would be...

Blue Blazes to you all!

Here’s hoping Ewing brings Nova back to his DNA type status.

Getting my Nova fix from GOTG. I wonder what Ewing's plans for Rich are? Nova corps rebuild (again!), World mind return?

[LAWtoyoto 432]

Did anyone has read the latest issue of GOTG ? What do you think about Star-Lord new ability ?

He stood when all else fell. We still remember.

I LOVE any and all callbacks to Annihilation. It’s nice to see Rich being respected again.

He was only a few pages away from smacking down Magneto.

That was excellent
