Hmmmm. ...well individually Superman is physically superior to both. He's stronger, faster, more durable. I give him a solid majority against either, individually. Problem is when he faces both. Rider has some sick shields, varied assaults and an on board battle comp that'll make it competitive with the Midnight Kings assistance.
I also think that Nova could possibly end it quickly if he somehow goaded Clark into using his hv. Then once he amps and releases said energy coupled wirh a scream they could put him down. But that's just one scenario. Imo it's a competitive match that I wouldn't be angry either way
I mean they derive their power from the same power source....the nova force. Both were the "sole" weilders. Supernova was just batshit crazy and didn't give af. Plus you have to take into consideration most villians who show up rag doll the heroes for a few issues till they pull their heads out their ass and win.
He can use his speed all he wants, Superman would get slaughtered 10 out of 10 times. Either is a legit match for him. Robbie, a novice, a novice who was one of a fleet of NC members who were sharing the NC power, was able to pin Xenith to the ground with a gravimetric attack. Yes, Xenith is a full notch below Superman; however, a power sharing novice Robbie is at least 25 notches below Richard Rider Nova Prime, and that's being conservative.

Nothing you said proved they were above him
their only chance is bb's voice. if supes takes a couple of those he could be hurt enough that they could take him. i guess an argument could be made that it would only take ONE scream depending on which showing you want to go on. he is absolutely capable of killing either one with a blitz if he decided to go that route, which he wouldn't. fighting in character the team has a decent chance. if supes disables bb's antenna though, he def ends them both. the voice is their only real chance here--he kills either reasonably easily without it. bb was going to be killed by hulk fairly easily without his voice, and ss was said by worldmind to literally dwarf nova's power. he is well outside their weight class.
