This arc will explore a side of Richard's personality that we have very rarely seen; what exactly happens when a hero becomes a villain and how does the transition change them. As is it isn't exactly new: Rich was brainwashed both by the Condor and by the Corruptor in previous series but they were brief to the point. DNA aim to delve into the whole grey area a bit more; but note,in each time Rich has been turned, his mind and true personality, that of the hero, ultimately made him see sense and break the conditioning inflicted upon him. In this scenario, that and the fact the Worldmind is also part of the package, may have a major influence on exactly how long he's a Select. But another point: even when he "returns to normal" he may have to come to terms with any actions that he carried out while he is a Select; they may have consequences that Nova 8 onwards may show after the Nova on-going carries on after the Conquest tie-in issues.

: One of the thing that interests me is that the
: mind of the individual--in this case
: Nova--who has been "turned into a
: villain" is still who the person is.
: They, in effect, have to watch themselves do
: things they don't want to. I am hoping, and
: this has already been done in the series,
: they will delve into the minds of the
: "turned," see what they are
: thinking, feeling, etc. What a great
: opportunity for character development and
: insight!

: A few fans are concerned that Nova is now a
: villain.I think one of you said he didn't
: need to be in Conquest (I think Bless your
: hearts. All of us Nova fans would be up in
: arms is Rich did not participate in
: Conquest. He had to. He is the big gun, so
: he had to be a part. And although he is
: "not the main hero" his issues
: sure don't suggest he has a tiny part. I
: mean, great stuff is occurring in his
: issues.
:
: Even though Rich was turned, well,the story
: is just excellent reading. And we know he's
: not going to die, so I'm just enjoying the
: ride. Nova, a cosmic character, is one of
: the main participants of two major cosmic
: storylines. I am happy this is different
: from the Cosmic Cube, Thanos Quest, Warlock,
: Avengers Galactic Storm, and Fantastic Four
: stories where Rich played a tiny or no part.
: These two cosmic tales, in my opinion, are
: just better, more gritty, more science
: fictiony (yeah, I made the word up) more
: bloody, and more impactful.
:
: Enjoy the ride. Our Nova is still playing a
: major role. Like Doug said, they cannot
: repeat Annihilation. And right off, we see
: they are not trying to.
