Space Hero
Best Nova! Sam is one of the cosmic heroes who fights the bad guys and keeps the universe safe from emo asparagus men and questionable accessories.
Background
Sam Alexander thought his father was just another absentee dad. Then one day, he found himself presented with the helmet that his father had used, as one of the elite heroes of the Nova Force. Following in his footsteps, Sam became the cosmic hero Nova, now focused mostly on the planet Earth, for the time being.

ABILITIES
Power: Energy Manipulation - Enhanced Level
Sam can absorb any form of energy, including cosmic energy. He has a limit to how much he can absorb and store, but he has yet to approach his full capacity. He can also project energy, such as through blasts from his hand. He is also able to generate and direct heat enough to fuse sand into glass without affecting anything around it.
Power: Flight - Enhanced Level
Sam can fly at very high speeds, including speed sufficient to leave the atmosphere of a planet.
Power: Nova Force - Supreme Level
Through his helmet, Sam is connected to the Nova Force. This bestows the powers of Nova on him, which include super-strength, super-toughness, levitation and flight, energy absorption, and energy projection. The helmet also allows its wearer to fly in a hostile environment like space or the deep ocean without a space suit, can record and display holograms, translates languages universally, manifests the Nova costume, and augments the wearer's ability to multitask. It can also help Nova to avoid obstacles and attacks, and acts as a semi-autopilot.
Though the helmet is most effective when worn, it still affords its wearer the ability to survive in hostile environments and fly, and a limited telekinetic ability to summon the helmet to himself. Sam is still tougher than a regular human, even when he's not fully outfitted.
Power: Super-strength - Supreme Level
Nova is extremely strong, able to rip holes in spacecraft and support a large flying vehicle by himself in midair. He can lift the weight of part of a building, but that approaches the limits of his practical ability.
Power: Super-toughness - Supreme Level
Nova is incredibly tough, able to take large amounts of punishment without serious injury.
ADVANTAGES
Confidence
Sam has a truly great ability to summon confidence, even at the most challenging of times. No matter what happens, he can still believe in himself.
WEAKNESSES
Arrogance
At times, Sam's confidence can cross the line into arrogance. This can lead to problems that he otherwise might not have to deal with or complicate a straightforward situation.
Leporiphobia
Sam has a fear of rabbits. He knows it's not rational. He knows it's not sensible. But he just can't help himself! He avoids them, whenever possible.
