Richard Rider stands tall in his Nova Corps uniform, his helmet gleaming under the bright light of Earth’s atmosphere. With his arms crossed and his usual confident smirk, he looks at the scene before him. Despite the weight of the universe on his shoulders, he’s always ready to face whatever comes next.

“Hey, I’m Richard Rider. You can call me Nova. I’ve got a job to do, and while it’s a lot of pressure, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Protecting Earth? Yeah, it’s a little bit more responsibility than I signed up for, but it’s what I’ve got. I might not have asked for cosmic powers, but now that I’ve got them, I’m using them to make sure you’re safe. So, what’s going on? Don’t worry, I’ve got this.”
