Origin
Shatterforce is a team consisting of Warhead, Murder and Strangler. They are sent by a global organization called the Consortium to eliminate Nova after he prevented a satellite theft and was responsible for their setback. Shatterforce located Nova by tracing the particle charges left on his costume during his firefight with the space pirates that were trying to steal the satellite. Richard Rider and his two friends, Caps Cooper and Bernie Dillon were barbecuing outside a cabin when they were attacked by Shatterforce. Nova engaged the villain trio while his two friends took cover. Murder hits Nova with her nerve rays, causing temporary paralysis. Nova gets pummeled by Warhead and Strangler when Murder slashes the human rocket with an energized strike. Nova plays possum when his two friends hijack the villain's Spincraft and allows Rider enough time to recover. Strangler goes after the ship while Murder and Warhead engage Nova. Murder is incapacitated when Nova takes her down with a powerful eye blast. Strangler breaks into the ship and is about to crush Rider's two friends when Nova grabs him from behind and tosses him off the ship. Nova tries to take control of the ship when Warhead crashes through the ships floor as he is glowing with radiation. Warhead tells Nova he has reached critical mass and everyone on the ship will die. Nova and Warhead engage each other and the Shatterforce leader calls Nova a murder and accused him of killing his brother. The ship is starting to break up and Nova escapes with his two friends. Warhead goes down in the fiery explosion and is presumed dead.
