Apr. 21st, 2012 04:16 amCharacter: Sam Alexander / "Nova"
Series: Ultimate Spider-Man (TV Series)
Character Age: ~16
Canon: In a world full of heroes, a covert organization called SHIELD begins to take an interest in the heroes of the future by giving them proper training and guidance. Under the direction of SHIELD Director Nick Fury, they recruit five teenagers with attitude, with each member having their own unique ability and skill set.
Sam Alexander is a teen with *cosmic* powers, capable of flight, high speed, and energy distribution (i.e. he can absorb energy, as well as release it in concentrated form), although he is currently not fully aware of the limits to his powers. These abilities were given to him by the Nova Corps., which is a group that essentially protects and explores the universe. As such, Sam adopts the name "Nova" (or "Bucket Head", according to Spider-Man) and fights crime with his own sense of hot-headed justice.
When he's brought on-board Fury's youth group, he immediately clashes with Spider-Man and the two form a very competitive rivalry that tends to get out of hand fairly quickly. This carries over to their social lives, where Fury plants the group in Peter "Spider-Man" Parker's High School and the teens live their normal day incognito. Ultimately, Sam is just eager to prove his worth to everyone without needing anyone's help. And although he may escalate the situation to a whole other level with his impulsiveness and immaturity, he really means well.

I am SO going to get extra credit for this one.
I mean, sure, Fury might be a little ticked that I used the SHIELD computers without permission so I could find my next display of awesomeness, but it's going to pay off. Especially with something this huge! I mean, tons of people going missing without a trace in this area of the country? How have more people not noticed that? I bet it's probably just crazy hill-people or loser space aliens; nothing a little light show by yours truly can't fix. More importantly, it'll be priceless when I rescue all these people and see the look on ol' web head's face...or...mask...or whatever. Nova: 1, Spidey: 0.
I have to admit though, it's really weird that the all the satellite photos came out looking like pictures of John Stamos. And they weren't even the same pictures of him. Either SHIELD's computer system has been infected with a John Stamos virus, or John Stamos is somehow linked to the disappearance of all these people. Or the third (but equally possible) scenario is that someone is trying to frame Mr. Stamos for this. Either way, they're going to be totally sorry they ever crossed paths with me!
Hopefully they'll have something a little more challenging than those little cyborg squirrels I met a while back. Or that chimpanzee sniper that missed me by a mile! There's nothing here that could possibly even come close to making me break a sweat, this is totally going to be a cakewalk. Come to think of it, I don't think I've seen any normal animals the whole time I've been here. Even the ants here are covered in tentacles. At least, I think those were ants.
I guess it's safe to say that my John Stamos theory is trashed, this seems more like a wormhole into The Twilight Zone opened up and puked a bunch of stupid animals out. These creatures don't even make any sense, it's like some loser made all these things up as they went along, trying a little too hard to be funny. If someone wanted to impress me, they would have made up a dinosaur with a jetpack and a rocket launcher, and it would fight other dinosaurs with it. That would have been awesome! These animals are just...fail. And that octo-squid-whatever thing over there, that just looks stupid. Am I supposed to be scared here? Pfft.
Anyway, here's to me becoming the MVP of this team! I can already taste the sweet success of this mission.
