Firestorm Vs Nova

Biography-

High school student Ronnie Raymond and Nobel Prize-winning physicist Martin Stein were caught in an accident that allowed them to fuse into the “nuclear man” Firestorm. Due to Martin Stein being unconscious during the accident, Raymond was prominently in command of the firestorm form with Stein acting as a voice of reason inside his mind. Stein is able to offer Raymond advice on how to use their powers without actually having any control over their dual form. Stein was initially completely unaware of their dual identity, leaving him concerned about his unusual disappearances and blackouts, but Ronnie was eventually able to convince him of the truth, allowing them to bond as separate individuals rather than as parts of a whole. Upon graduation from high school, Ronnie entered college in Pittsburgh, where Stein had been hired as a professor. Afterward, together they searched for a cure for their bond.

Powers-

Firestorm has the ability to rearrange molecules. He can change the subatomic structure of any substance into most anything else, changing the particles of matter & energy to create objects of different atomic characteristics of equal mass.

Firestorm can transmute the basic composition of an object (e.g., transmuting lead into gold of equivalent substance) and he can also change its shape. Firestorm’s alterations are permanent unless he reverses them

Firestorm can change himself at will, allowing him to regenerate lost and damaged tissue, boost his immune system, shapeshift, increase his physical capabilities and survive indefinitely without food, water and air.

Firestorm can only create items whose workings are understood by the “driver” of the Firestorm matrix.

 Firestorm has the ability to switch “drivers”. The dormant consciousness that was only able to advise the other on what action to take rather than do anything themselves can become the active driver.

Firestorm has the ability to fly at fantastic speeds, to render himself intangible and thereby pass through solid objects harmlessly.

Firestorm can generate destructive and concussive blasts of nuclear fusion energy from his hands, absorb radiation harmlessly . He has superhuman levels of strength and is resistant to injury. Because of this he could challenge New Gods such as Orion, Female Fury Lashina or an empowered Kaliback.

 The powers of the Firestorm matrix can  be shared through multiple users at a time, but through the processes of nuclear fusion with another matrix wielder they can fuse into larger and stronger yet more unstable atomic entities with greatly amplified powers as opposed to the sum total of its individual parts.

Biography- 

Richard Rider was born in Hempstead, New York. As a teenager, he was chosen at random by the alien Rhomann Dey, last surviving Centurion of the planet Xandar’s elite Nova Corps, to inherit his power and succeed him in the rank of Nova Prime following the destruction of his world by the intergalactic pirate Zorr. Having been mortally wounded in the battle that tore Xandar apart, Dey succeeded in tracking Zorr to Earth but was unable to exact vengeance due to the extent of his injuries. At death’s door, Dey had little choice but to transfer his power to an unsuspecting human on the planet below, praying whoever he found will take up his cause and prove worthy of the powers he had given. Rider received little instruction on how to use these new powers yet he took up the life of a superhero, fighting villains while gradually learning how to use his new powers.  As “Nova” he was called into space to serve in the protection of the recently reconstructed planet Xandar, the same world where his great powers originated.

Powers-

Nova derives his powers from an energy source called the Nova Force which all Nova Corps Centurions wield.

Nova has superhuman powers including flight, superhuman strength, speed, and durability, as well as the power to absorb energy directed against him and release it as gravimetric pulses and beams, either from specific parts of his body or from his entire body.

 Nova is a good hand-to-hand combatant, and has been coached by Chord.

Nova wears a standard Xandarian StarCorps uniform, designed to accommodate his powers without being damaged by them. The uniform is highly resistant to damage, including outer space conditions, and is airtight.

Nova’s uniform has a built-in life support function that can sustain Rider under the most extreme environmental conditions, including acting as a life-support suit by locking off the mouth and eyes of the helmet.

Nova’s helmet contains a radio, telescopic sights, night vision sensors, and heat imaging sensors, as well as a visual heads-up display for tracking energy signatures.

Nova’s helmet also has a rigid construction and shape when worn, but becomes as malleable as cloth when it is not, allowing Rider to hide it in his civilian clothes when desired.

Nova’s uniform is not only extremely malleable, but contains specific functions to aid Rider in his role as a Nova Corps Centurion. Among these features are an electromagnetic discharge that can nullify gravity and an interface to stargates that allow him to enter hyperspace, where he can move at velocities exceeding the speed of light. Nova can also alter the appearance and nature of his uniform to suit his needs.

Nova’s uniform can house the Xandarian Worldmind as well as the entire Nova Force, which was previously used by all members of the Nova Corps. With the Worldmind and the Nova Force, Rider possesses tremendously augmented strength and durability as well as nearly limitless quantities of energy. The Worldmind consists of the entire culture and history of Xandar as well as the individual minds of thousands of years of dead Xandarians. The consensus voice of the Worldmind can speak directly to Rider, helping him to control the Nova Force, fight enemies, sense energy, interface with electronics, and protect against psionic abilities. The Worldmind can also assume direct control of Rider’s body when he is asleep.
