Fourth Wave Nova

No, Herr Strong, I am not insane. I am mankind perfected.
- Ingrid Weiss, Tom Strong #4

This is an ”ideal” fourth wave nova, with the right abilities to do the work of the Entities. It is still not powerful enough to take on a star, but it is a small-scale model of the fifth wave. This is the direction nova evolution will tend, with some minor variations. Other powers found among novas are mainly utility powers to aid the main powers or test routines.

Mega-stamina: Adaptation
Absorption: the nova can absorb the energies released by collapsing matter; this is immensely pleasurable and gives quantum points.
Gravity control: the nova can cause matter to implode on himself.
Radioactivity control: the nova can absorb energy by inhibiting fusion reactions; this is immensely pleasurable.
Forcefield
Flight with Lightspeed or long-range warp
Clone: a modified clone power that can create fully independent and permanent clones with enough quantum power.

Fifth wave nova

As above, but with Quantum 10 and nearly all nova powers with a range of thousand kilometres or more. Such a nova would quickly be driven to implode large masses around himself until they become singular. At that point the enormous energy release will activate the clone power, releasing thousands or millions of clones. Who immediately set out to convert more matter.

The Entities have added an evolutionary approach to their tools. Novas that manage to convert many objects will replicate more and produce ever more efficient converters. The basic intelligence of the human frame may or may not be useful; it is up to each individual nova to find uses for it in the pursuit of collapse.
