... Now. Faster. I gotta do this. I can. I'm NOVA!

—Avengers vs. X-Men: Infinite Vol 1 1

The universe has a sense of humor and I don't get the joke...

—Nova Vol 5 1

I can do this, somehow... The helmet can hear what I am thinking and that makes it do stuff. Maybe. I guess. What am I talking about?

—Nova Vol 5 2

On a day of freaky stuff you're not quite the freakiest.

—Nova Vol 5 3

I guess mom was wrong. All those years of playing video games did pay off!

—Nova Vol 5 4

Here's how this goes down. You get back into your whalemobiles and take your little chittards and find another universe to bother. Or I blow you up.

—Nova Vol 5 5

Mom, I'm a Nova now. That means I am a superhero. And superheroes do things like fly to the moon and... I don't know... pretend they don't know about the skate park because they have a secret identity.

—Nova Vol 5 6

Wow. Spider-Man's kind of a !)@#$

—Nova Vol 5 7

I was personally asked by Thor, a god, to join the Avengers, the most famous super-team in the world. And what did you say? You said "no."

—Nova Vol 5 10

'Cause if you mess with one of us... You mess with all of us! Even though I am the last one.

—Nova Vol 5 11

I have an idea, but you may not like it.

—Nova Vol 5 14

No one studies that hard unless they have to. Surely he's got some purpose. So what is it?

When I see the Watcher again, I'll ask him directly where Dad is... I don't think he's supposed to help me... but we're friends.

—Nova Vol 5 17

Aw man, not the eye blasts again.

—New Warriors Vol 5 11

You guys haven't heard of Nova? I beat up the Hulk! I'm a double-secret probationary Avenger!

—Nova Vol 5 28

No, really. Thank you. Ever since you've been back... having you and Mom back together... getting to be Nova with you... it's been unbelievable. You're the best.

—Nova Vol 6 1

Who are you?

—Nova Vol 6 2

That guy wasn't Dad. It was an imposter. Some kind of clone or alien or something.

—Nova Vol 6 3

I am so freaking pent up all the time... I could just burst!

—Nova Vol 6 6

I know what I'm doing... I hope.

—Nova Vol 6 8

Good. We'll need the element of surprise, but leave Annihilus to me -- because I want him dead at my hands alone. Understand?

—All-New, All-Different Avengers Vol 1 11

Iron Man told me you've been all over space and back. You know outer space better than most other people.

—Nova Vol 6 10

Screw this. I'm not dying on a planet with a goatee!

—Nova Vol 7 1

You lied! I brought you into my home! And you lied about everything! Why does everyone lie to me?!

—Nova Vol 7 5

So what if this is someone's trademark now? A trademark isn't a movement.

—Champions Vol 2 8

Well... good thing it's not all about you.

—Nova Vol 7 7

Oh great... we show up just in time to watch these two psychos blow each other up.

—Infinity Countdown: Champions Vol 1 1

Okay... no more fantasies.

—Champions Vol 2 27

This isn't a game, Kaldera. You're a murderer. That's more important than your honor or my pride.

—Champions Vol 3 8

No, let me ask you a question. Let me make sure I get this. Every day, kids are out there dying. Dying because they can't get enough to eat, dying as soldiers in wars we didn't start, dying from guns. Dying from drugs in our communities, from poisons that corporations sell us, from stress and depression. But you have a problem with us standing up for ourselves? Standing up for each other? You have a problem with us fighting back. And if Ms. Marvel were here, she would never buy this -- this fake concern thing you're trying to pull off.

—Outlawed Vol 1 1

You... you were special anyway, you know? Riri Williams, girl genius, M.I.T. kid scientist. You don't need us. You don't need to be a Champion. But some of us do. I don't know who I am if I'm not Nova. If I'm not a Champion. If that's not you, be honest about it, so we can all move on.

—Champions Vol 4 2

You know what's special about us? This thing we do? All of us inherited it from people who came before us. Without Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Spider-Man, and the Nova Corps, we wouldn't be here. So some people think we're the junior varsity, baby dress-up versions of the real heroes. But I like it. I like knowing that all of this is bigger than one person.

—Champions Vol 4 3

A celebrity? I can do that. I can get you Kamala Khan.

—Champions Vol 4 7

Space is awesome, but it's also pretty vast. It's nice to have company.

—Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic Vol 1 20

Try to take this kid by force and you'll have to deal with us. She's not alone here.

—Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic Vol 1 22

Champions, charge!

—Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic Vol 1 23

SURPRISE! This is it, Viv. The planet I wanted to show you. It reminds me of you.

—Marvel's Voices Infinity Comic Vol 1 25

Amazing. It's everything dad talked about. The speed. The power. It is like being a human rocket!

—Samuel Alexander (Earth-616)

And then the Nova Corps took your hack of the Nova Force and turned into something that helped the universe.

—Supernovas (Earth-616)

On Earth, we'd say these things are a mix of a dragon and a cat.

—Val'Gyrr

Sam Alexander	What do you know about Novas?
Speedball	Quite a bit, actually, and we can tell you all of it.

—Nova Vol 5 8

Sam Alexander	Now's not the time for a safety lecture, Mom!
Eva Alexander	I'm not giving one. Kick her butt, Sam.
Sam Alexander	Yes, ma'am.

—Nova Vol 5 9

Beta Ray Bill	Listen, Sam. I can see you're upset to learn you helped a true villain, but I have no more time to spend on Earth. I came to see your role in this misadventure was, now I must find Skaarn, and save my people before any further harm comes to them.
Nova (Sam Alexander)	I want to come help. I need to help.

—Nova Vol 5 13.NOW

Sam Alexander	Well, that's just great. I wish you were Spider-Man!
Hummingbird	No you don't.
Sam Alexander	Why?
Hummingbird	Because Spider-Man can't talk to spiders.

—New Warriors Vol 5 3

Sam Alexander	I can't keep up with school, my friends hate me, and the other Avengers... I get the sense that they don't want me around. I mean, really, there are more than enough superheroes in the world. I've been thinking lately that I need to start focusing on what's really important, You know? Figure out what I really need to do.
Richard Rider	You gotta suck it up, kid.
Sam Alexander	Sorry?
Richard Rider	Look at me. I'm currently trapped inside a pocket dimension after sacrificing myself to entrap an intergalactic warlord. So now I'm stuck here, trapped inside an alien supercomputer for the rest of my life. I'll never see my home, my friends or my family ever again. And I would do it all again because of one simple reason: what would have happened if I didn't. Peace and order aren't the natural state of things. They had to be invented and they have to be constantly defended. That's why the Nova Corps was created. That's the legacy that you carry on. Yeah, I know, down on Earth, you've got the X-Men, the Avengers, Spider-Man, everyone. I can seem like things are taken care of. But relative stability... It's a house of cards, Sam. And there are people and things trying to blow it all down every single second. We need all the heroes we can get. I'm sorry Sam, but you have the power to help and save people. You're not allowed to give up.
Sam Alexander	I know you're right...

—Nova Vol 6 11
