10 Characters Fans Want In The MCU (And How They Can Be Introduced)

9. Nova

Nova Silver Surfer
Marvel Comics

Fans have been asking after Nova’s introduction since Guardians of the Galaxy introduced Xandar into the cinematic canon. Richard Rider as Nova has been an important and powerful player in many comics teams. A teenage student granted extraordinary powers of energy manipulation, flight and superhuman speed to name a few, was a homage to Spider-Man’s famous teenage superhero dynamic.

Richard Rider became Nova when a dying Nova Corps Prime gave Rider his powers in hopes of avenging Xandar’s destruction. Nova is a powerful cosmic character who has teamed up with many superheroes and teams over his comic run since his first appearance in 1966.

In Avengers: Infinity War, audiences never got to see Thanos’ acquisition of the power stone from Xandar but instead were told how he destroyed the planet in the process. Even though this is a slightly different version of his comic book origin, this could mean that fans could see Nova arrive on their screens in the future.

If you have clicked on here, get ready to be bored. I'm just a 20 year old white male who has a (probably) unhealthy obsession with pop culture Film and TV. Handy in a trivia game but not much else. My parents were never murdered, I'm not avenging my dead wife. Just plain, old sat at a computer with a head full of knowledge I mostly don't use I was born and raised in the Black Country near Birmingham, England however am now living in Manchester, England after I moved here two years ago. I currently attend the University of Salford, studying Broadcast Journalism. That's it really. Told you there was nothing special. If you're really that desperate for something to do, follow me on socials. Yes, I do like that ego boost.
