Why is that

@@jalenikezeue4114 He’s one of the rare marvel characters that’s consistently developed and has an ending with underrated runs and stories.

@@jalenikezeue4114 Because he's a great character and only comic fans know of him.

They should've used Nova in the MCU instead of captain Wahmen I mean Marvel

@@2hot4u68 I completely agree with you. As much as I love the MCU, I really don’t like Brie Larson as Captain Marvel. She’s a very wooden actress and her characterization as Captain Marvel doesn’t feel right. From what I understand, there are rumors that she’s no longer playing Captain Marvel and there’s rumors that Nova will finally be introduced in the MCU. Marvel should’ve introduced Nova before Captain Marvel, considering the fact that we saw the Nova Corp in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.

Eventually we will see one

I was hoping at the end of endgame they would give a preview of Nova, with the destruction of Zanddar and such. But we didn't get that.

Cannonball versus Richard Rider

That’s a match I have wanted to see for 30 years, good one

Honestly, green lantern is the nova of DC

Maybe Guardians vol 3 will introduce them more

There were plans to introduce his character, along with the alien race Brood, in the 3rd season of Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon. As revealed by the show's co creator and headwriter, Christopher Yost.

@@chiranjeevsaikia560 That would have been great! Pity the show got cancelled!

I second this post on doctor voodoo

That would be awesome!!!!!

That would be AWESOME!!! I LOVE Dr. Voodoo!

@@leavonfletcher4197 me too he s a total baddass!!!

It's possible since, apparently Marvel is looking for a young actor to play Nova, wanting for him to develop a strong friendship with Spider man. However I don't think they will go with Richard Rider, but rather his successor Sam Alexander, who is a teenager and, in the animated series Ultimate Spider man, was one of Peter's friends.

Sam got a lot of popularity from being in the cartoons. Sam was created by Jeph Loeb and he was the head of Marvel Animation and Television so he used his power to promote his character. But in the comics Rich has a lot of stories, history and character growth in the comics. Both characters are good but ultimately Rich's story is more interesting IMO even though he started with the Spider-Man formula of teen superheroes (with some differences) he ended up having his own dynamics and ending up being a much different character since he started which is rare for a lot of comic characters since status quo is always trying to be maintained. Sam had a good first run but he is also a repeat of that Spider-Man teen hero formula as are a lot of Marvel teen heroes (like Miles and Kamala) and in his comic the writers started repeating stuff that happened to Rich (Sam even joins the New Warriors at one point) and I think that and him being a Loeb creation might work against him being in the MCU for awhile. Besides Rich was in one of the drafts for the first Guardians movies and both Markus and Mcfeely toyed with him being in Infinity War (he was going to be the one who crashed landed on Earth and warned Strange about Thanos) so I think there's definitely plans to use him for the MCU.

They definitely have a very similar origin story. The Nova Corps very much feels like Marvel's answer to the Green Lantern Corps.

@@MerryMarvelite and then there is Quasar and Captain Mar-Vell as Protectors of the Universe..

I feel like Quasar fits that role more than Nova. He has similar powers to GL, he is the protector of the universe, he used a piece of jewelry (quantum bands) for his powers (Richard never needed his helmet for his powers), he was chosen to be Quasar, Epoch is like his Guardian, and his creator toyed with the idea of making a Quasar corps since it was hinted that there were more than one Protector of the Universe but the universe is so vast that they were very far from each other to ever meet. He was also created to protect the whole universe while Nova was originally a teen hero who then evolved into more of a Space Lone ranger (and for the moment he's with the Guardians). Wolfman has said that Rich being like Green Lantern was unintentional in his part since he was just trying to recreate the origin of his old character The Star who got his powers from being hit by a ray from space. Heck if you go back and see this during the Skrull-xandar parts you'll also notice the other Novas don't really have powers. They ride hover bikes, they use guns, or wrist bands to shoot laser. It's because originally the Nova Prime had Nova force which is also why Adora and the other Xandarians took Rich's powers back when he wanted to go back home. New Warriors started making the Nova corps more like Green Lantern and Annihilation Prologue showed them as cops (which they never were before that) and it's what people remember the most but that story also did away with them. That said there's another connection to Nova and GL. Ron Marz is a big Nova fan and he has admitted that Kyle Rayner's origin was partially inspired by Richard Rider's who gets his powers randomly and in a moment of desperation and where their respective corps are dead making them them the last Nova or last Green Lantern.

Your thinking of DC's version of Nova. Firestorm the Nuclear Man AKA Ronnie Raymond and his Prof. They both got caught in a mini nuclear explosion in a nuclear power plant. Loved both these characters original runs. Firestorm only last five issues when he first came out. Same for DC's Black Lighting and Ragman series. Nova ran from June/Sept 1976-78.

Nova and Nita were my favorites, but I always had a soft spot for Firestar too, since the days of the Spider Man and his Amazing Friends cartoon.

I mean the Nova corps tried to expand in New Warriors to different planets and galaxies and by Annihilation Prologue they were a police force similar to GL until they got killed by Annihilus' wave. They also tend to die a lot and become easily corrupted. Not to mention most of the Nova stories don't really have the Nova corps that much since they're dead.

Definitely avengers material
