Was going to make one of these on my own, then realized there was no need when I saw this one... this outlines Nova nicely.
And I'd just like to add, Surfer didn't kick his ass. It is very, very clear from that event right there that neither of them was actually interested in fighting the other

I would like to turn your attention to Annihilation: Nova #1, when Nova first gets the Nova force. It is clearly stated that the entirety of the Nova force is too much for Richard to handle without losing his mind and so the world mind is forced to put limitations on the amount of access Richard has to the Nova force, even though he is still frightened that the limited access will still affect Richard.
For the duration of the Annihilation series and the Nova standalone series after that, Nova is functioning strictly on this platform, with his access to the full Nova force being replenished by the world mind while at the same time not being allowed to run rampant. The one time it was allowed to go unchecked Nova went ballistic and destroyed an annihilation flagship in a single blow.
If Nova were ever to get into a conflict with the Silver Surfer, I believe that the fight will get serious and Nova is likely to lose. Although I'd like you to keep in mind Nova just fought a 268 day war for most of which the silver surfer was not engaging in violent activity. Nova's mind is still honed for violence. If he doesn't run away like the worldmind is always screaming for him to, and the surfer is about to do lethal damage to him, in an act of desperation and as a last ditch effort to save the lives of both of them, the Xandarian worldmind could allow the Nova force be released fully in Richard. In which case the Silver Surfer should better run off and away.
Because Nova will tear him a new *******.
Galactus-upgrade or not, if the Xandarian worldmind ever allows the full entirety of the Nova Force to be released within Nova, the Silver Surfer will have no chance at victory.
And there is my judgement ^_^

^ Except that his most impressive feat when he was accessing the level of Nova force that he did when he first got it (Annihilation: Nova #1) was destroying bug ships a few at a time.
Something Surfer did with nonchalantly the minute Galactus let him loose on the Wave.
No, actually it wasn't. If you go back and recall the scene where he is beginning to lose his mind and succumb to his anger, that ship is actually the exact same design as the flagships of the Annihilation army, similar to Annihilus's vehicle. The silver surfer destroyed several of the much smaller versions of those. The ships that are large but come in huger numbers, I believe they are either transports of assault ships or both. You cant even compare the power level of those ships to a flagship. A flagship was large enough to hold Galactus prisoner.

Here he battles against Sphinx with 2 Ka stones!!! Impressive feat going against a really powerful opponent. Nova Prime actually was able to open a stargate right on him. Showed impressive shielding capabilities too.
