===Casino===
====Stuck====
Howard was on Xandar when Ronan the Accuser attacked, prompting Nova Prime to close the Planetary Shield, causing everyone to be stuck for fifty years. In this time, the planet became darker as isolation got the better of people. They resorted to going to Howard's Casino, allowing him to make a lot of money.What If...?: 2.01: What If... Nebula Joined the Nova Corps?
====Scematics====
Five years in, Howard was at a table in his casino with Mindy as he was about to win. He was then approached by Nova Corpsman Nebula. Howard joked about Nebula's cyborg presence until she interrupted him by stabbing a Yaka Arrow into the desk. An annoyed Howard asked if she was ever off the clock and then told everyone to leave. Mindy complained, but Howard told her to go.
He looked at the arrow, remarking how it meant Yondu was dead. Nebula explained that he was hiding scematics in the arrow. She revealed them, leading Howard to look at it in awe. She asked what they were, but he had no idea saying she was the detective. She rebbuttaled saying that was why she was asking him. Howard said that only a lunatic would know what it was.
Bartender Korg then arrived with drinks and casually said it was a Unit B-42 Mainframe Core. Howard stated his shock before Korg listed the reasons it could be used. He said source codes, prompting Howard to tell him to go back to that one. A confused Korg recited many other suggestions before falling back on source codes. The group realized that someone wanted to access the source codes ro open the Planetary Shield. Nebula knew she needed to get to the mainframe core, but Howard said it was dangerous. Nebula did not care.
====A Broken Nebula====
Nebula returned to the casino all torn up and injured, with wires sticking out of her. Howard asked what happened and said he warned her. Nebula assured she was okay and said a lady just needed a drink. Nebula then stood up before immedately collapsing, hitting a lever on the way down. The lever unleashed coins, annoying Howard who claimed the machine was not supposed to cash out.
While Nebula was unconscious, Howard helped Korg fix her up. Later, Nebula woke up and approached the group of Howard, Korg, Groot and Miek. She asked Howard if he had any weapons so she could go up against Irani Rael, who was trying to open the Planetary Shield to let Ronan the Accuser into Xandar. 
Howard was shocked she requested that, saying he did not have guns and if he did (emphasizing he did not), he would not want to supply it as the dark says have helped his business and when people are sad, they drink. Nebula then claimed Rael would take away his liquor license, effectively winning Howard over to help. The group then suited up, with Howard using a bandana.
====Saving Xandar====
The group arrived at Nova Corps Headquarters as the Planetary Shield was being opened. Howard stood by Nebula's side as the shield suddenly closed. Nebula explained how she put a twist on the codes. He shield then closed on Ronan the Accuser, killing him. Angry, Irani Rael ordered the Nova Corps and Yon-Rogg to kill everyone.
Howard cocked his gun and unloaded the artillery on his enemies, causing great damage. This helped in the long run as everyone in the room were defeated. Howard then walked outside to find Nebula, who had defeated Rael. They both looked up at the shield, which was opening, revealing the sun and light. Howard told Nebula that she saved Xandar and the light was back, calling her Super Nova. She joked that he also got to keep his liquor licensed. Howard quacked and said it was not bad for a day's work.
