Nope. What happened to him? Perma ban?
Heh. Think of this as a lesson in humility. I'm the Odin to your Thor.
I think I posted all the relevant scans already. Doubt you'd find any argument winning scene if you read the issue again.
I don't think so.

Anyways, I'm off to eat.

Ok let me see here. I don't have the book in front of me yet, but I can pretty much recall the whole scene. If I miss anything of importance I'm sure you'll point it out.Nova breaks out of the programing.
WM informs him that it's taking 80% of the Nova Force to keep the virus at bay. We have to flee.
Rich says "so I'm only operating at a fraction of my normal power" or something like that.
WM tells him that's right barely 20% our only option is to flee.
Rich says I'm no match for one sentry at this level
WM says "Right. I repeat, WE HAVE TO FLEE".
Nova -finally gets it- says last time I tried that I got phucked up
WM says We were ignorant last time. Now I have a plan (or something to that effect)
So right there we see from the context that although NOVA mentions fighting, that was NEVER apart of WM plan. WM had been plotting an escape plan all along that required every ounce of Dick's remaining power reserves.
They then stargate to the Neutron star. Banter a little, WM explains that because of the stars crazy gravity/mass, with the right calculations etc, that Richard could manipulate it and cause a wormhole event allowing them to escape Kree space.
Now we know that Richard has created super massive gravimetric events before during Annihilation. It was so massive that Annihilus detected it from like 9 light years away. We also know that they kept the emphasis on how weak Nova was at the time and that the only option was to flee, not fight. So with that knowledge coupled with the annihilation stuff, the only rational explanation that makes sense is that he was too weak to make one powerful enough to escape, so he used something that was.
Comic book writers can't spell out every phucking detail of every action sequence for us. Sometimes we have to apply a little common sense.
