==Summary==
Nova Prime was the predecessor to Nominus Prime. Once the elite soldier Nova Major, he led the unification of a divided Cybertron, ascending to the leadership of his people. An expansionist and a supremacist, Nova Prime believed that Transformers were the greatest among all life forms and that they should bring their glory to the myriad of lesser races throughout the universe.
After being sucked into the Dead Universe, Nova was chosen to be the host for the Darkness, an otherworldly counterpart of the Matrix of Leadership which worked by transforming the inhabitants of the Dead Universe into undead wielders of anti-life. Upon merging, Nova was reborn as the sinister and extremely powerful Nemesis Prime. He now sees it as his mission to fulfill the Darkness' imperative by expanding the Dead Universe's hold into the living realm.
Nemesis may seem to hold sway over both his troops and the Darkness, but nothing could be further from the truth. The powerful Galvatron sees the Darkness as his rightful inheritance. And then, there is the fear. The fear that the Darkness has more in common with the Matrix than Nemesis is comfortable with. He feels he has earned this power and isn't willing to see it follow its natural path. It is, for this reason, he must eliminate Optimus Prime. And it is for this reason he fears to face his successor.

*The Darkness
An aspect of the D-Void, a malevolent entity from within the Dead Universe, the Darkness is a limitless well of power, the dark mirror of the Creation Matrix held by Primes. It connects with Cybertronians as part of the D-Void's master plan, fooling them into believing they can contain its energies, provide it direction and purpose, and use its power for their own purpose. In reality, the Darkness is a tool by the D-Void used to twist the desires of Cybertronians to achieve its imperatives.
Intelligence: Genius (Has vast knowledge of legends and various fields of science. However, he was still easily possessed by the Darkness, and does whatever the D-Void wants him to)
Weaknesses: Is constantly under the manipulation of the D-Void at least as Nemesis Prime. He also fears Optimus Prime, to some extent.
