Commander Nebulous Nova, was a powerful evil alien warlord who sought to find the essence of Zordon and use the wizard's powers to empower a planet-busting war machine of his creation, the Nova Matrix.
History[]
Past[]
Commander Nebulous Nova was born in Paralaxia as a nameless alien. Raised in poverty and constant oppression of his planet throughout his entire life, he put all of his hope on the Power Rangers, warriors who fight for justice, to end the oppression in Paralaxia. However, his hope was shattered when the oppressors of Paralaxia killed his parents and obliterated most of the planet's civilization. Embittered by this experience, the Paralaxian developed a seething hatred for Power Rangers and decided to rely on himself, becoming ruthless and eventually wiped out Paralaxia's oppression forces by his own hands, rechristening himself as Nebulous Nova in the process.
He would then began his lone quest throughout the galaxy, gathering subjects loyal to his cause and eventually forming the Invader Corps, which operates aboard the Skull Galleon. During this period, Nova would come into conflict with Bajillia Naire and her Squid Ink Inc., which cause them to become bitter enemies due to Bajillia's superficial objectives. After the Cosmic Fury Rangers defeated Lord Zedd and the Squid Ink Inc., Nova took over all of Bajillia's assets, including her Squidrills and Zentinels, transferring them to Invader Corps to serve as his tools. He would also recruit Scrozzle, who used to work for Zedd and Bajillia, as well as bailing out Jozotic from Erridus to serve his cause.
Cosmic Fury[]
Shortly after the Cosmic Fury Rangers took off to space with Billy Cranston and Mick Kanic in order to begin their search for Zordon, Nova and his Invader Corps tailed the Rangers in the Skull Galleon for some time. Eventually, he intercepted them after the Rangers gained some clues regarding Zordon, offering the Rangers a chance to work with him so they can find Zordon together. But when the Rangers refuse, he decided to simply sic the Zentinels on them.
Using an energy scanner he built on the Skull Galleon, Nova managed to locate Zordon's essence in an uninhabited planet named Terminus. However, his journey there is put on a temporary halt upon learning of the Rangers' survival and that they are hot on his trail. To circumvent this, Nova sends some Squidrills to crash their spaceship, but this effort ultimately failed as the Rangers managed to trick him into thinking that he got rid of them by activating the spaceship's invisibility feature right before they power through one of the Squidrills.
After Nova managed to locate Zordon's energy, he contained it in a special tube and proceed to head back to Paralaxia, where he installed Zordon's essence into the Nova Matrix, a planet buster machine he created with Scrozzle's help. But, before the machine can become truly operational and left Paralaxia's atmosphere, the Rangers (especially Billy) managed to reach out to Zordon's essence. This awakened Zordon's consciousness within it as he assumed control of Nova Matrix, turning it into Cosmic Phoenix Zord (which enrages Nova).
