Yeah, I was surprised that they came right out and inferred that Rich was not as powerful as The Surfer. I agree, this would explain why the Corp always got their tails handed to them in large conflicts. I guess The Surfer is far more powerful than recent writers have written him. I could go with that explanation. But I hope Rich gives a good account of himself. I know he will.

Sounds : like the same slot they put Wendell Vaughn : (Quasar) into. If the full Nova Force isn't : up to even the surfer's level .. then it's : no wonder the entire Nova Corps is just used : as a sacrificial lamb plot device. By : implication this means the Rider may not be : as powerful as Classic Thor, Gladiator or : any of the herelds ... Heck .... even Ronan : is as powerful as SoME of the heralds .... : he defeated a skrull that was impersonating : the Surfer ... that same skrull had defeated : the surfer in combat. Oh well ..... :
