Rom
Rom; Nova [Richard Rider]; Nova Corps; Protector; New Champions [Powerhouse; Diamondhead; Comet]; Queen Adora; Prime Thoran; Syfon Warriors; Brandy Clark; Jonathan Clark; Sarah Clark; Torpedo [Brock Jones]; Lorrain Jones; Skrulls (villain); Fantastic Four [Mr. Fantastic; Invisible Girl; Human Torch [Johnny Storm]; The Thing] (cameo flashback); Power Man [Luke Cage] (cameo flashback); Iron Fist (cameo flashback); Dire Wraiths (cameo flashback); Crimebuster (cameo flashback, death)
Rom flies to the location of Galador in a borrowed Skrull spaceship only to discover his planet is no longer there. Instead, he finds Nova and Powerhouse who are currently defending the planet of Xandar from a Skrull invasion (and are a little leery of a giant robot in a Skrull ship). Rom returns with Nova and assists in fighting off the Skrulls. In return, the Prime Thoran of Xandar discovers that the entire Golden Galaxy has been moved and transports Rom home to Galador's new stellar coordinates. With the Skrull threat neutralized, Richard Ryder is returned to Earth without his Nova powers.
