I love Nova as a character (Sam's my guy but Rich is cool too) and cannot wait for them to be introduced to the cinematic universe. On another note, I hope they bring out a new Nova comic series and hopefully one day, I will even get to draw that book too!!
@@powerbadpowerbad I think the rights to that are owned by a toy company rather than publishing house as James Gunn wanted to use the character but couldn't.
Nova has always been my favourite Marvel hero with Nightwing being my favourite DC: hope to see two big screen character debuts over the next few years
Nova is my all-time favorite comic book hero. Love this video and can’t wait to come back to this when his show gets released. Feige confirmed it’s 3-4 years out from now.
Although the Nova Corps are Marvel’s mere image of DC’s Green Lantern Corps, Richard Rider is definitely an original character that Marvel has got to bring straight out of the comics into the MCU in the right direction
That’s the thing, I was felt like it was GL but there’s many differences to a degree where it’s not necessarily a copy but a faithful inspiration. I love it when both DC/Marvel are both faithful and respectful to other IPs besides their own. I hate it when they are not
I hope we get an announcement of a Nova movie at Comic con this year. Nova [Richard Rider] is one of my favorite heroes. I want to see him done some justice on the big screen.
He was the first comic superhero I really fell in love with outside of the mainstream way back over a decade ago. Nova was such a game changer for me, love him and wish they’d bring him back in some way or at least some new nova other than Sam. I dont think he or Sam are used anymore these days
I hope we can see Richard Rider and Sam Alexander, two superheroes known as Nova, make their biggest appearances in the film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I hope the the actors will play the role of Richard Rider and Sam Alexander in the MCU!!!
I LOVE NOVA. Abnett and Lanning's cosmic opera at Marvel is my favorite run ever. Nova ripping Annihilus' guts out his own mouth is one of the dopest panels ever. Hell i named one of my kids Nova. Beautiful name, awesome character✌️
He’s been my favourite hero for the past 13 years, such a shame that he hasn’t been given the love and respect he deserves. The MCU just tries to jam captain marvel down our throats when there’s literally a whole universe of cosmic characters ready to be used.
Rich’s gravimetric powers are some of my favourite. Exerting incredible G-forces to immobilise enemies is so cool, almost like scarlet witch manipulating Vision’s density so he his crushed into and through the ground. So awesome 😩
I always wanted to find the path after the War of Kings story I loved that first big story but it was just so confusing to find the continuation lol thank god for this video
Can you do the history of zorro, judge dredd, Cassie hack, qwenpool, hit monkey, vamperrella, moon girl & devil dinosaur and league of extraordinary gentlemen
What do you think is the best thing about Nova the Human Rocket in the comics compared to someone like Quasar? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best? Who do you think is the best member of the Nova Corps in the comics?
Doctor Spectrum is another O.P. Character that i think should be introduced into the MCU. How powerful can actually destroy Hal Jordan. The Green Lantern.
Many times when you guys do one of these videos and get to the powers/abilities part, you'll say super strength. Could you possibly include a class range? Spiderman strong? Colossus strong? Hulk, Blue Marvel or Hyperion strong? If not, it's all good. Just thought it might help those new to a character.
I've been an original NOVA fan-boy since the early 80s and knowing how close we have come to seeing the MCU version (in the first Guardians movie and then Infinity War/Endgame) only for the character to be pulled from the story is a real kick in the teeth. And to add insult-to-injury; the Disney+ project has now been officially cancelled with no firm expectation or guess when (or if) the character will EVER appear on the big or little screen. 😕
Can y’all make a video of pop culture in comics like such as kiss (the rock band) in Howard the duck or with dr.doom etc plz its a video idea for your channel variant
Nova has to be my second favorite character in the marvel universe, right behind FF’s Thing, but just ahead of the older version of Cable. Thank you for doing this video Variant
There's a lot of errors in this video overall, but it is a fair take on Nova as a character. Glad to see someone did a video on one of Marvel's best characters
Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Kurt Connors the Lizard. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?
If Nova does get his own movie or Disney Plus Show in the MCU, Is the plot going to be about his origin story and do you think we will see Zorr or Titus as the main villain?
Think bigger they should plan out independent Nova movies for richard rider The first movie villain should be zorr The second movie villain harrow The third the aybss The fourth annihilus
Rider does not get his powers the way Alexander does. Rider actually has a direct connection to the Nova Force while Alexander gets his power through the helmet. Prior to the introduction of Alexander, none of the Crops had helmet-based powers. As far as how I feel about the character, Rider has been my favorite since he was first introduced (I was 10 years old at the time).
Thanks for doing the history of Nova the Human Rocket Richard Rider. What do you think is the best thing about Richard Rider who is Nova the Human Rocket? How come we didn't see the Nova Corps with the power of the Nova force in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie in the MCU? Do you think we will see Nova the Human Rocket both Richard Rider and Sam Alexander making their live action debut in the MCU?
Variant merch 🔥!!!! I Hope we get some astonishing times merch soon too Arris 🙏, and Chris pine as Richard Ryder just saying 🔥 and when it gets off the ground we hopefully see what proper Green lantern story would look in marvel cinematic form 😂😂😂
One of my favorite moments is when he came back from space during the first Civil War arc and told Ironman don't mess with me or my family. You can't handle me. I'm not going to be your weapon.
Since you did history of Marvel's Black Knight, Can you do history of Marvel's Dreadknight? If you seen the recent episodes of season 7 of the Flash, can you do history of Impulse, XS, Psych, Fuerza, Steadfast, Chillblaine, Abracadabra, Rainbow Raider, Mirror Master and Top in your next video?
Is Sam Alexander more popular as Nova than Richard Rider since he appeared in all the animated series while Richard appeared only in the comics which is why everyone wants him to appear in the MCU? Are you going to do history of Sam Alexander as Nova, Zorr, Titus and Annihilus in your next video?
always enjoyed Nova/RR. Having said that, I was sort of dissapointed to learn how many similarities there were between Nova Corps and the Green lantern corps. Also that the GLC prefated the Nova Corps by a LONG, LONG way. enough on that. When I saw Gaudians otG movie, and Nova Corps, I knew that a), Zandar was gonna be destroyed, and B... where is Ricard Ryder??? As we all know, no mention.....tick tick tick tick.. not mention all ALL. WTH? and then, Disney stepped in. IDK about anyone else, but, I KNEW that the odds of a white, male superhero being introduced pretty pretty much zero. Sure, we saw female superheros, and superheroes of color (and they were all GREAT), but, NOva? Will never happen
How come we didn't see the current status of the Nova Corps during the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3 movie since it could have showed them on New Xandar creating the Nova helmets for members like Richard Rider and Sam Alexander? How many of you think that the Nova Corps created the World Mind and the Nova force with the power stone the Guardians of the Galaxy gave them for safe keeping during their first movie before they lost it to Thanos during Avengers Infinity War? Which actors do you think should play Richard Rider and Sam Alexander in the MCU?
@@bashengatheblackmanta7003 no I want him to be a human that gets recruited the nova Corp alongside other humans and aliens after Thanos destroyed xandar because I want the film to be like a pg 13 version of hacksaw ridge a emotional war movie I'm space I want richard rider to be human so that he can interact with star lord and the new guardians eventually
Is Richard Rider who is Nova the Human Rocket could be the best friend and ally towards Spider-Man since the two of them are similar in many ways? Do you think we will see this happen in the MCU?

Omg
Your guy's logo looks perfect on clothing. Simple, yet meaningful logo
Groovy
"Richard Rider. The guy who made the rest of the Corps feel like nothing." -Titus
It's true
Hope they gender swap Dick...
Nova is such a underrated character in marvel it ridiculous
Do you remember seeing him in the Ultimate Spider-Man TV Show?
@@quentinfogger5755 yea...but it's pretty forgettable
Nova in Ultimate Spider-Man is Sam Alexander
@@quentinfogger5755yeah it was my favourite character
@@pu7pl3z33probably to u ig you’ve got that in common being completely forgettable ☺️
The timing is amazing I’ve been thinking about Nova for like a week now and even started drawing a nova corps portrait. 😭
Can you do Seann William Scott as Nova? I think it would fit him pretty well
It's a shame Richard only got 2 note worthy media adaptations he's such a cool guy.
The only one I remember was Super Hero Squad, what was the other one?
@@uncannydcmarvelous5732 The other was relatively recent, an NPC in ultimate alliance 3.
MVC3
@@monkehotdogs2227 Oh yeah I forgot that one.
Y'all forget Ultimate Spiderman unless that's a different nova
I love Nova as a character (Sam's my guy but Rich is cool too) and cannot wait for them to be introduced to the cinematic universe. On another note, I hope they bring out a new Nova comic series and hopefully one day, I will even get to draw that book too!!
Yes he was such an awesome character... you have to be when your creators name you something like Dick Ryder
Ha
That is HILARIOUS and no one has EVER cracked that joke before! I bet you impressed all the other 11-year olds at recess with that one! 🙄
Was named after the writers son who died as child.
@@Byronic19134 well that was a nice thing to do in tribute to his kid, but naming the kid that in the first place was kind of a mean thing to do.
@@Byronic19134That was for Sam Alexander, he got named after Jeph Loeb’s son who passed due to cancer
Literally my favorite hero
Richard's back story actually reminds me of GL Hal Jordan, so many similarities
TOO many similarities. LOL. Rom-Space Knight would make a very good tv series tho.
@@powerbadpowerbad indeed
@@AifDaimon GREAT minds think alike.
@@powerbadpowerbad I think the rights to that are owned by a toy company rather than publishing house as James Gunn wanted to use the character but couldn't.
@@RD-zx6py Yeah,I forgot Rom was created to sell toys.
Nova has always been my favourite Marvel hero with Nightwing being my favourite DC: hope to see two big screen character debuts over the next few years
The most underrated Marvel character.
I need a Nova movie with a Deadpool cameo. The Richard Ryder jokes would be hilarious 😂
i loved annihilation so much. nova been my fav since
Nova is my all-time favorite comic book hero. Love this video and can’t wait to come back to this when his show gets released. Feige confirmed it’s 3-4 years out from now.

MCU needs to bring Richard Ryder to the big screen.
Nova and Darkhawk have always been two of my favorite characters in marvel, I wish they got more recognition
He’s the Scottie Pippin of Marvel Comics. Extremely important but always underrated.
He was the first comic superhero I really fell in love with outside of the mainstream way back over a decade ago. Nova was such a game changer for me, love him and wish they’d bring him back in some way or at least some new nova other than Sam. I dont think he or Sam are used anymore these days
Been reading Nova since issue 1. Lets SEE Rider again
I hope we can see Richard Rider and Sam Alexander, two superheroes known as Nova, make their biggest appearances in the film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and I hope the the actors will play the role of Richard Rider and Sam Alexander in the MCU!!!
I LOVE NOVA. Abnett and Lanning's cosmic opera at Marvel is my favorite run ever. Nova ripping Annihilus' guts out his own mouth is one of the dopest panels ever. Hell i named one of my kids Nova. Beautiful name, awesome character✌️
i always thought nova was a really cool and interesting character i really hope he'll be in the mcu soon
I knew nothing about this character until today. Thank you for the video
Funny timing. I was looking at the history of Nova just a couple days ago since I thought his Marvel Champions deck looked fun!
About time we got some Merch
He’s been my favourite hero for the past 13 years, such a shame that he hasn’t been given the love and respect he deserves. The MCU just tries to jam captain marvel down our throats when there’s literally a whole universe of cosmic characters ready to be used.
The cosmic realm of MCU has been touched only a teeny bit it's disappointing
Richard rider is my fave superhero ever i still have all his fleer cards,figures and comics!!!! All hail nova prime!!!!
Love Richard Ryder. My fist Nova was a Spider-Man/Nova team up. Then it turns out to be a murder mystery.
Rich’s gravimetric powers are some of my favourite. Exerting incredible G-forces to immobilise enemies is so cool, almost like scarlet witch manipulating Vision’s density so he his crushed into and through the ground. So awesome 😩
I love how at the end of the episodes now, they tell you what the next video is going to be.
I recently started reading Sam Alexander Nova and he’s starting to become one of my favorites.
I hope they bring Nova into the mcu
Not going to lie I have been waiting for this videos since like 2015, so thank you for this video final
I would love to see Novas and Quasars friendship play out in the mcu but I fear we won’t get that now considering they added phyla as quasar smh
I always wanted to find the path after the War of Kings story I loved that first big story but it was just so confusing to find the continuation lol thank god for this video
Why do our heroes almost never have siblings. Their parents said we are going to have one kid and they are going to be amazing
Nova does have a brother robbie rider
@@NadeemShekh-uy9znWhich Nova or do both of them have siblings? Honestly I didn't know that
@@camojake1005 robbie rider shares the same last name as richard rider obviously and sam has a sister named kaelynn
i love NOVA, i used to watch the ultimate spiderman series as a kid, and in it, spiderman leads a team wich has NOVA (sam alexander) in it
I hope we see first see richard rider in the mcu as nova and then sam alexander
Can you do the history of zorro, judge dredd, Cassie hack, qwenpool, hit monkey, vamperrella, moon girl & devil dinosaur and league of extraordinary gentlemen
You keep commenting this and I keep liking it lol
Such an underrated marvel character and one of my favorites. You should do a history of quasar
What do you think is the best thing about Nova the Human Rocket in the comics compared to someone like Quasar? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?
Who do you think is the best member of the Nova Corps in the comics?
Richard Ryder and Sentry are the 2 characters I’m waiting for in the MCU
Always thought this dude was badass when I was little
My dad's favorite super hero. I had no clue who this was until I looked him up. Yeah, I was definitely missing out.
"YA LIKED THAT!?"
UMVC3 did introduced me to Nova and I played him soo much it actually made me read his some of his comics
POWER OF THE NOVA FORCE
My favorite Nova is The Nova from Disney XD’s Ultimate Spiderman
Doctor Spectrum is another O.P. Character that i think should be introduced into the MCU. How powerful can actually destroy Hal Jordan. The Green Lantern.
I loved Spider-Man call sam bucket head all the time in ultimate sm cartoon
Yes! Time to go NOVA! 🌟
Please do a History Of Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur episode next to go alongside the Disney animated series.
Many times when you guys do one of these videos and get to the powers/abilities part, you'll say super strength. Could you possibly include a class range? Spiderman strong? Colossus strong? Hulk, Blue Marvel or Hyperion strong? If not, it's all good. Just thought it might help those new to a character.
Ahh, gotta love that 90's gear and hair. Still...Nova is a beast and should be treated as such.

We definitely need y’all to get the ACTUAL license for the comic book characters.
Nova has to be my second favorite character in the marvel universe, right behind FF’s Thing, but just ahead of the older version of Cable. Thank you for doing this video Variant
Also, love that spidey shirt
I really want to see his movie!
Seann William Scott for Nova!!!
There's a lot of errors in this video overall, but it is a fair take on Nova as a character. Glad to see someone did a video on one of Marvel's best characters
Can you do history of Cyclone, Rhino, Sandman, Kraven the Hunter, Chameleon, Scorpion and the Human Fly along with Kurt Connors the Lizard. Also can you do the history of the Flash Villains like Turtle, Magenta, Cobalt Blue, Mirror Master and Top?
If Nova does get his own movie or Disney Plus Show in the MCU, Is the plot going to be about his origin story and do you think we will see Zorr or Titus as the main villain?
I hope Nova gets a movie not a show man
I need to read comic issues on Richard Rider as Nova.
Yes you do !!
Thanks for the info
He can fly at light speed meaning he is less than a blink of an eye away from anyone on earth at any givin moment
I dont think I’ve heard of any comic hero or villain moving that fast who wasn’t in the flash family
Thor Odinson and iron man in his space armor can do that as well
Nova's enemy are on the next level shit!, now i wanna see him in MCU.
Hopefully the MCU does him justice man
Richard Rider movie would be cool but I think the villain should be either Titus or Sphinx
Think bigger they should plan out independent Nova movies for richard rider
The first movie villain should be zorr
The second movie villain harrow
The third the aybss
The fourth annihilus
Wow I just started reading Annihilation a few days ago
7:15, that looks like Darkseid……..
I said the exact same thing i had to pause cus wtf that’s just darksied
If Marvel make a Nova movie i hope Richard is the protagonist
Same

Been a comic fan since the 70's and it would be nice if Disney doesn't screw up yet another amazing Marvel comic epicness
I really wanted Nova, Richard Rider, in Guardians of the Galaxy. James Gunn said, "NO!"

I like nova and the concept of the nova corp as a whole ps you should cover quazar
Since you did history of Marvel's Black Knight, Can you do history of Marvel's Dreadknight?
If you seen the recent episodes of season 7 of the Flash, can you do history of Impulse, XS, Psych, Fuerza, Steadfast, Chillblaine, Abracadabra, Rainbow Raider, Mirror Master and Top in your next video?
How long till you do history of the Thunderbolts team and the Young Avengers since they're slowly forming in the MCU?
Is Sam Alexander more popular as Nova than Richard Rider since he appeared in all the animated series while Richard appeared only in the comics which is why everyone wants him to appear in the MCU? Are you going to do history of Sam Alexander as Nova, Zorr, Titus and Annihilus in your next video?
