| | The Trial for the Rights to Nova |
 | | From November 15-17, 1999, a trial was held in bankruptcy court (Marvel Comics was in Chapter 11 bankruptcy at the time) to determine ownership of the Nova character; Nova's creator, Marv Wolfman, or Marvel Comics, the publisher of Nova's comics. |
 | | In 1967, Wolfman obtained a copyright registration, which we have a certified copy of for the Court, for the character Nova, which was published in a comic book that he, himself, published in 1967. |
 | | By contrast, Nova was not created during battle, but as a result of a search for a successor hero by the Centurion, Nova Prime. |
