yeah, i used that scan to support his shields in a tourney, but..... i don't think it's really very clear. it's always, frankly, ridiculous to assume his shields could withstand that blast when they've fallen before magnitudes of order less. still, they are strong, and could save him against the scream, maybe. but he'd need to take bolt out fast because a second one would likely end him. i just don't think he could take bolt out quickly given some of bolt's showings.
All signs point to yes since their teleporter needed 5 min to charge and needed 2 or 3 more to secure coordinates. Richard was stating those facts just as the herald my rage blast was about to hit them. We also see their suits in pristine condition, but now clearly look like they were just in a scuffle.
Richie also briefly fended off a blast from 2 Ka stone Sphinx. Just for reference Sphinx was able to battle Galactus when he had access to the Nova force matrix (though he did ultimately lose).
His shields can be beastly, but then again he's struggled to shield himself from Evil Quasar and Project Pegasus guardsmen.

Inclined to say split, but gut says BB slight edge.
Originally posted by Galan007yeah it seems that way. But Annihilus tanked the blast using the Qbands and the rod, the blast drained him. If nova did tank the blast and seemed unaffected , which is odd considering their first fight and gap in power.
"The Nova thing. SURVIVED the Devourer's rage, did you? Annihilus is IMPRESSED."I really don't think Annihilus would have been impressed by Nova surviving the blast, if he had simply teleported out of its way. /shrug
