Nova
Nova is the superhero identity of once-ordinary New Yorker Richard Rider. Rhomann Dey, an alien from the planet Xandar, who is part of the elite Nova Corps, an alien intergalactic protection force, is dying during a struggle against the evil alien Zorr, when he selects Rider to be his successor. Rider is then imbued with a Nova Corps uniform as well as a surge of energy from the energy source known as the Nova Force that all Nova Corps members tap into. Nova's ability to tap into energy sources is reflected in Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite with his ability to have his specials passively get stronger when he has more hyper combo gauge, even without actively using said gauge; merely having that energy flow through him enables him to perform greater feats than normal.

Unique Trait
Gravimetric Energy: Nova's Gravimetric projectiles (both Gravimetric Pulse and Energy Javelin) gain increased damage and often new properties based on how much Hyper Combo gauge he has stocked. When Nova has 3 or more meters, his projectiles become ridiculously strong with long reach and new hitstun properties.
