Richard Rider: the man called Nova. Upon becoming a member of the intergalactic police force known as the Nova Corps, he acquired abilities including enhanced strength, flight, and resistance to injury. He also wears a specialized uniform with life support.
I liked the MU Nova figure, but it did have it's shortcomings, The shoulder, arm, and leg armor could have been executed better. The standard MU buck they use is on point, and the armor is sculpted well enough, as is the head, but I would have preferred a removable helmet. So what I did was super glue the shoulder armor to Nova's upper back, so it doesn't look as floppy, I also glued the leg armor in place, but not the gauntlets. I also dremeled out the head to give it more range of motion, and make it easier to swap out, and gave him an "unmasked" head. Joe fans should know who that is. I'm now perfectly content with my MU figure of the greatest Nova, Richard Rider. crossovers in spaaaaace!: Thanks for lookin!

Nice fixes, I glued down the shin armor on mine. Nova is great but with some mods like yours he's perfect.

Thank you 'tankers! (PIGgie, I'm surprised you haven't done this already and better at that)
I was gonna use that head for a modern Jamie Madrox, but I felt it was too serious lookin to be that wise-ass. It fits Richard Riders post Annihilation wave days just right with the scar and all.
