Richard Rider

Richard Rider is Nova, a human teenager from New York who was chosen by dying Xandarian centurion Rhomann Dey to inherit the powers of the Nova Corps — granting him superhuman strength, flight, and energy projection as Earth's first Nova Prime.

Richard Rider has been gracing Brazilian comics shelves since 1986, when Panini Brasil brought this character to readers through Superaventuras Marvel — a Copper Age debut that launched a presence stretching all the way into 2024. His catalog footprint is anchored in cosmic territory, with his most prominent appearances clustered in the Aniquilação saga and its sequels, epic storylines where he keeps extraordinary company alongside the likes of Norrin Radd (the Surfista Prateado himself), Ronan, O Acusador, and the Tocha Humana. For collectors of Brazilian Marvel editions, nearly four decades of continuous publishing makes Richard Rider a figure well worth tracking down.
