Joe mason 3: captain nova's origins

Chapter 1: The hero rises

The world wasn’t always as chaotic as it is now. There was a time when hope was more than just a word—when it was embodied by a man who stood tall against the darkness. His name was Captain Nova, and he was the hero everyone looked up to.

It all started years ago, long before Joe Mason ever donned his first costume or took on his first villain. The city of Valeria was on the brink of collapse, crime running rampant, and citizens living in fear. From the shadows of despair emerged a shining figure, clad in a brilliant suit of light. He was faster than a speeding bullet, able to lift the heaviest of objects, and with powers no one had ever seen before.

Captain Nova quickly became the symbol of justice Valeria needed. He didn’t just fight criminals; he fought poverty, helped rebuild homes, and even inspired a new generation of heroes to rise with him.

But no one knew where he came from.

That was the first mystery, and it remained unsolved as he soared through the skies, saving lives and capturing hearts. He kept his origin a secret, insisting that who he was didn’t matter—only what he did.

In the early days, Nova was untouchable. With his radiant abilities, he could disarm any villain in seconds, outwit masterminds, and protect civilians with ease. People believed he would be their savior forever. But as his fame grew, so did his desire for control.

He wasn’t satisfied with just saving Valeria. He wanted to shape it, control its future, and make sure no one else ever rose to threaten the peace. Slowly, the cracks in his heroic persona began to show. But at the start, in those first few months, Captain Nova was perfect. And no one—not the people, the media, or even Nova himself—could see what was coming next.
