These are scans of Nova receiving a massive upgrade and taking it to the Annihilation Wave:

I will also be posting the entire series of Annihilation in it's entirety in that thread. It's gonna take me some time due to the dinosaur scanner I bought at a yard sale that was supposedly only used once, takes forever to scan pics to my PC.

Nova takes on the Thunderbolts:

Nova travels from Earth to Hala in 12 minutes. Hala is in the Large Magellanic cloud, so an estimate of his speed would be somewhere around 7.43 trillion times lightspeed:

Nova moving FTL:

Nova fights several Phalanx - infected Kree Sentry robots. He is winning until Gamora (who is infected herself), coordinates them with the Phalanx's computer speed and teleportation and sends over 100 of them at him:

Nova creates a stargate which destroys all the Sentries as a side effect:

According to Gamora, Nova has the power to cripple the Phalanx:

Nova crashes at FTL speed into the dimensional barrier the Phalanx have erected around Kree space and then falls onto a planet with enough force to create a seismic shockwave:

It seems Richard didn't survive, but the Worldmind did, and it and the Nova Force enter the body of a Kree woman, making her the new Nova. Another Kree comments that the force is like 1000 cobalt bombs going off at once:

WTF!?!??!?!?! Rich is dead!?!?!??!!? WTF man I was really starting to enjoy his character.

in the fight against the thunderbolts, it took at least 120 times the pull of gravity to take him out of the air. that's ridiculous. respect indeed

Here we have Nova taking care of some Annihilation ships and then fast forwarding to him letting Annihilus' get a taste of the Nova corps' full power.

Defeated Gamora, another feat.

This is where he destroys a ship and opens up a stargate. From Annihilation: Nova 3

The Kree woman who inherited the Worldmind and Nova Force blitzes some Phalanx scouts. This counts for Nova's power since she has the same power he does:

Even under Phalanx control, Richard is still a ladies' man:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/Nova2/novagamora.jpg

Korel, the Kree woman who became the new Nova, only has one thousandth of Richard Ryder's power:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/Nova2/novapower.jpg

If the Phalanx got control of the Nova Force and Worldmind, they would be unstoppable:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/Nova2/novaunstoppable.jpg

Fights Korel:

Nova overrides the Phalanx virus, and breaks out.

Here is a very interesting feat.
He travels through a neutron star, and creates a wormhole to get out of the galaxy. He also has a tiny scuffle with Drax, and Gamora.

That's AWESOME.

Nova (while still only at 17% power due to the Phalanx virus) survives the Rip, the edge of space where all matter and energy is torn apart:

Fights the Luminals, an alien superhero team:

Great thread guys, thumbs up!

Uses the Phalanx virus to contain Abyss and trap him back in his prison, but it takes its toll on him and makes it so he will not be able to resist the virus for much longer:
