Summary[]
Cassandra Nova Xavier is the main antagonist of Deadpool and Wolverine. The twin sister of the legendary Charles Xavier, she was captured and pruned by the Time Variance Authority before she could learn to walk.
Left to grow up in the desolation of the Void with practically unlimited power, Cassandra Nova would be forged into a totalitarian dictator of-sorts. Without being given nurture or love like her brother, Charles, Nova is egotistical, deeply cynical and completely immoral. She would take control of Giant-Man's corpse as her base of operations and quickly build a following. A group of pruned heroes known as the Resistance would try and fail to stop her, and notable casualties included Magneto and Quicksilver.
Incapable of being killed, a rogue TVA senior, Mr. Paradox, would strike a deal with her to take care of those pruned to the Void. This deal would fall apart, as Pyro attempted to assasinate her on Paradox's orders when she was depowered by Deadpool. Enraged that Paradox had broken their agreement, she would hijack the Time Ripper he had created to destroy the multiverse. She was ultimately stopped by Deadpool and Wolverine physically short-circuiting the machine's generators, vaporising her and ending her tyrannical reign.
Powers and Stats[]
Tier: 2-A
Name: Cassandra Nova Xavier, "Sandy"
Origin: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown, likely in her twenties (though she grew up at the End of Time)
Classification: Omega-level Mutant, Megalomaniac
Powers and Abilities:
- Likely Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Genius Intelligence
- Regeneration (Low-Mid: let herself be stabbed through the back by Wolverine's claws and effortlessly regenerated. Healed from bullet wounds in areas usually fatal to a human. It is unknown if she can survive decapitation.)
- Immortality (Type 3)
- Teleportation (Has an undetectable teleport that she uses to sneak attack others)
- Telekinesis (Uses her hands and her mind to physically manipulate others. Notably, made Wolverine stab himself with his claws and sent him through the ground)
- Energy Projection (Can create invisible blasts powerful enough to send Wolverine and Deadpool flying)
- Intangibility (Most often with her hands, Nova can physically move herself inside others)
- Mind Manipulation (Her most notable power: Cassandra Nova can physically access the mind of an individual by moving her hand inside their brain)
- This gives Nova access and manipulation of an individual's memories, to psychologically take control of them or to make them perform actions, such as when Paradox activated the Time Ripper when he was under her powers.
- Biological Manipulation (Removed all of Human Torch's skin with one gesture)
- Possible Forcefield Creation (Protected Pyro from Alioth, via unknown means)
- Magic (Considered Doctor Strange an amateur), which includes:
- Reality Warping (via the Reality Stone, which Thanos used to alter matter and create projections most notable)
- Time Manipulation (via the Time Stone, which can loop time, reverse it, stop it, and allow Nova to see into the future)
- Portal Creation (Using a modified sling ring with the aforementioned stones embedded, Nova can create portals across the entire multiverse)
- Likely Flight (with the Cloak of Levitation)
Attack Potency: Multiverse Level+ (Doesn't consider Alioth a threat, a creature that ended the Mutiversal War by devouring entire branches realities in an instant. Her power was enough to turn a universal Time Ripper into one capable of ending the entire multiverse), can ignore durability with intangibility (Snapped Pyro's neck from inside his body.)
Speed: Inaccessible (Faster than Doctor Strange, who even in a weaker iteration could move inside the Dark Dimension)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Striking Strength: Unknown, possibly Small City level (Has never physically attacked anyone, but may scale to Wolverine's claws), frequently bypasses durability with Intangiblity
Durability: Multiverse Level+ with her powers (No-sold Alioth when it approached her lair. Likely considerably lower for her physical body)
Stamina: Presumably Superhuman
Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters with telekinesis, Multiversal with modified sling ring
Standard Equipment: Her sling ring, including the time and reality stone, Xavier's wheelchair and the cloak of levitation
Intelligence: Extraordinary Genius. Likely just as intelligent as Charles Xavier, Cassandra Nova is a telepath of almighty power, her rule in the Void unopposed for her entire life growing up. She even killed a variant of her brother, winning a mental battle. Nova is supremely gifted with her powers, knows exactly what memories to target, and how to best incapacitate an opponent. She figured out how to weaponise the Time Ripper against the multiverse, an extremely complex device of two matter and antimatter generators and several reset charges, and would've been successful had it not been for Deadpool and Wolverine nearly giving their lives to short-circuit it. Considered Doctor Strange an amateur magician, who is denoted by the Ancient One as the best Master of the Mystic Arts ever. Her only shortcoming is her exceeding arrogance.
Weaknesses: Has stated herself that she must physically touch an opponent to use her mind manipulation powers. Is egotistical and overconfident. Blocking her head, for example with a helmet, will depower her completely and leave her with standard human weaknesses.
