History
The Richard Rider of this timeline stayed to fight the Xandarian/Skrull war for two years whereas in the 616 timeline Richard gave up his powers and was returned to earth. This Richard returned to earth as a leader of the Nova Corp. He joined the Avengers and was assisting the Shi'ar with some issues with the Kree and was off planet when the Deathstorm struck and the world was destroyed.
This was the second Nova from another timeline the 616 Nova encountered whose world had been destroyed by the Death Storm. The first was Nova 0:0 the Robbie Rider from the 9442 timeline. Both Novas were more capable then their 616 counterpart but were unable to save their worlds.
The 94626 Nova helped 616 Nova return to his timeline through a stargate after they he helped train Nova on how to use his powers better.[citation needed]
