Richard Rider's brother.
-----
* AloofBigBrother: Overshadowed by his brother's stint as Nova, Rob feels Rich comes off as this to him. After a point, Rich takes time to assure that he doesn't mean to come off as aloof to Rob, while also noting Rob's skill with the Nova Force is more than commendable.
* AscendedFan: Became part of Nova Corps.
* BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:Between being tortured by the Fraternity of Raptors and the apparent abandonment by Richard (Robbie was unaware that Richard was trapped in another universe for several years and Richard believed that Rob was killed during ComicBook/TheThanosImperative with the rest of the other Novas) Robbie resents his former allies and joins the Raptors as [=Talonar/Talon-R=]]].
* BigBrotherWorship: And this is despite Rob's misgivings towards his brother.

This includes acting and reacting like how an average parent with a superpowered teenaged son (and husband) in her life might act and react. Even once she acquiesces to her son's superheroics, Eva is naturally worried about her son's well-being, dealing with the stress of that and going about her day as best she can.

* AntiHero: Well, his morals were a bit lax compared to the more straightforwardly heroic Novas, [[spoiler: including his morally dubious work with the Supernovas, and abandoning them in a botched escape to see his son's birth.]]
* BrokenPedestal: To Sam Alexander, who became disillusioned with Jesse's stories during his inept job as a janitor, believe Jesse may have made it up to cope with his life.
** RebuiltPedestal: [[spoiler: A double subversion. Sam later discovers that he was actually a real Nova but his group of Nova became nothing more than a gang of thieves and murderers. However, it was revealed that he was actually TheMole for the Nova Corps and turned the Supernovas into a black operations unit.]]
* CharacterDevelopment: He managed to get sober, adapt to his new life, and even find a new job after getting abducted.[[spoiler: Until we find out that the person getting the development was returned to Earth was actually [[TheMole a clone]] of Jesse created by the Chitauri as a means of getting close to the power in Sam's black helmet. Though, even he gets development after Superheroing with Sam long enough, to the point where he does a HeelFaceTurn. This clone is last seen flying off to prevent the arrival of more clones and to find the true whereabouts of Jesse.]]
* DadTheVeteran: A Former Black Nova.
* [[DatingWhatDaddyHates Dating What Mommy Hates]]: He chose Eva (mostly based on her "troublemaker" status and possibly MalignedMixedMarriage) and ended up getting disconnected from his mother ever since.

* LastOfHisKind: So far, the only known Nova Corps member left, after Thanos Imperative besides Garthan Saal and [[spoiler:Robert Rider]].
* LineageComesFromTheFather: It maybe possible that his helmet can only be used by his children, Sam and Kaelynn.
* MadeASlave: [[spoiler:His former Black Nova gang later caught him and sold him to the Chitauri as a gladiator. However, he escaped from the Chitauri via a slave revolt, fleeing to Knowhere.]]
* RetiredBadass: A {{Deconstruction}}; his then-current and inept job as a janitor and his alcoholism showed his inability to adapt to civilian life after many years as a Nova.
* ScrewThisImOutofHere: [[spoiler:He ditched his team in the middle of an escape from the Chitauri to return to Earth for his family.]]
