After the destruction of the Nova Corps by the Annihilation Wave, the Xandarian Worldmind secretly sought out new recruits during Richard Rider's sleep hours. Fraktur, a being from the planet Kakaranthara, was among those first selected to be a new Nova Centurion. Soon after her selection, the Worldmind transmitted an emergency signal as the result of nearly being destroyed by Galactus. Fraktur joined with the four other Centurions to have been selected thus far -- Irani Rael, Qubit, Morrow and Malik Tarcel -- and tracked down the Worldmind's signal.
