The Man Called Nova (Marvel) Nova - Film Series In this version, we would bypass the normal origin story, and start in the heat of it…visiting the origin in flashbacks. Xandar, The end of the Thanos/Black Order invasion Richard Rider, a Nova Corpsman, Stumbles through smoke and falling debris. Clearly in pain, he’s searching. He arrives where his destination once was…This was the building his “recruiter(although, it really was an alien abduction, wasn’t it?!flashback possibly)” The Xandarian, Rhomann Dey, had become his Instructor, his friend, mentor, and father figure here. He showed him the importance of the training he has suffered through in rebuilding the Nova Corps after Ronin had killed nearly all it’s “Centurions” in the battle over Xandar (see in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1), showed instructed, and ingrained in him the importance, so much so, Rider knew going home to Earth/Terra/C-23, was not an option he could think about until the training was complete.
