* ''Annihilation'' in general, which is a CrisisCrossover for all the space-based heroes and villains of the Marvel Universe, which ran along side ''Comicbook/CivilWar''. ''Civil War'' pales in comparison to Annihilation in so many ways. A small handful of the moments of pure awesome are Galactus being freed from Annihilus' ship and Nova ripping Annihilus' entrails out through his throat.

-->'''Nova''': Galactic culture nearly collapsed. Billions died. The Skrull empire's gone. Xandar, too, along with huge chunks of the Kree territories. Quasar died in front of my eyes. Even Thanos was killed. And you heard something... vague?
-->'''Iron Man''': You say Annihilus was the driving force? What happened to him?
-->'''Nova''': I pulled him inside out and saved the universe. What have you done lately, Tony?

-->'''Galactus''': '''''HERALD MY RAGE!'''''
-->'''Nova''': '''''THIS IS FOR NOVA CORPS!'''''
* In the wake of ''Annihilation'', Nova found himself back on Earth. Iron Man invited him along to SHIELD's helicarrier to discuss the current state of Earth. Nova was incredulous that the reason behind his call for help in fighting the Annihilation Wave was that the heroes were too busy fighting over secret identities.

* Given a brief grace period to decide whether to register as a superhero or not, Nova is attacked by the Thuderbolts whom decide not to recognize the grace period. He calmly moves to disable his assailants, politely asking the Worldmind to direct just enough power to put them down. Once civilians are endangered he goes so far as to read them their rights, as they've assaulted a representative of intergalatic law; the escalating fight is only stopped when Iron Man arrives with a group of SHIELD agents. Afterwards, finally realizing what's happened and discarding his initial notion of "New Warrior returning to Earth":
-->'''Tony Stark''': You're really not the Nova we used to know, are you?

!! Annihilation



* In the 'What If?' issue, when the Annihilation Wave is headed towards the moon and then decides to sacrifice his life by staying behind to fight them while Reed and the Inhumans head back to Earth. Then Cap and Iron Man, previously seen beating each other to a pulp, settle their differences and stay with Nova. Presumably the three of them die and not only manage to save the Earth, but they also stop the Annihilation Wave altogether and save the universe. Bad. Ass.

!! Annihilation: Conquest
* Richard Rider manage to successfully fight off the Phalanx infection, then fight his way out of the heart of the Babel Spire, even with most of his power having to keep the infection in check.
* Moondragon turning into a dragon, with Phyla riding her.
** Though it becomes much less awesome when she reveals she's being slowly possessed by the Dragon of the Moon.
* Nova, Gamora, Drax and Warlock performing a BigDamnHeroes, saving Peter Quill from Ultron.
* After going through hell to find 'The Savior', including losing the love her life, Quasar finally manages to bring him to the final battle with Ultron ... only to deliver the killing blow herself.
