Fictional character biography
Tanak Valt was one of the founders of the Nova Corps, and was its high commander (Centurion) for several years. His wife Adora was the Suzerain (queen) of Xandar. He was made Nova-Prime upon Nova's return to Earth, and was also made leader of the Champions of Xandar.
Nova-Prime and Adora were killed when Nebula wiped out Xandar's population.[1]
Adora (and presumably Tanak Valt) were resurrected via cloning when Richard Rider (Nova) rebooted the Xandarian Worldmind computers[2]. Presumably they were killed off again during the Annhilation Wave.
