The First Poll! Nova and Gamora! Hot or Not!

Okay! First Question, and this is relevent to me cause its an important factor in my Nova fan Fiction project! Do you like Rich Rider having a "relationship" with Gamora, the deadlist woman in the galaxy?
Now Rich, has on the whole been very "unlucky" when it comes to have a full time relationship. Part of the Rider Rotten Luck syndrome methinks!

His first love, Ginger Jaye, was his school sweetheart at Harry Trueman. Okay they shared the occasional lip synch but in the end after getting kidnapped by Doctor Sun and serving in the Xandar Skrull War, he comes home, one year later and what does Rich find: She gone and got married!

Second was Namorita Prentiss aka Namorita. They flirted on and off during their early days in the New Warriors eventually going up to full "couple" status when Namorita finds Richie only wearing his "Marky Marks!" in the Crashpad! Then, fate tries its best to ruin the relationship by having Nita go all "blue" thanks to rampant genetic genes going amok. At first, when she reunites with Rich as Kymera, she's uncertain if he'll accept her as she is now is..and he did! In the end though one Eric Larsen ruined the lovers chances of becoming a permanent item and Civil War ends Nita thanks to Nitro going kaboomb! in Stanford! The Nova/Nita affair is fondly remembered by many fans and as I said earlier endures in a number of New Warrior fan-fics; use Google to search for em!

Also during his time in New Warriors, Rich had brief liasions with one Laura Durham and later, after Nita "dumped" him, with Turbo.

In Annihilation, Rich nearly got the kind of set-up any hot blooded male would love to have; a permanent relationship with a sexy blue alien chick, in this case Samaya, A Centurian member of the Nova Corps in Annihilation Prologue. But then, as she and Nova fly through a falling spaceport that's about to crash into Xandar after Annihilus decided to have his wicked way, just after she utters that famous line "If we get though this, I'll mate with you for life!!" What happens? She looses her head! Literally! What a lost opportunity Rich!

But then along comes Gamora, green skinned like an Orion Slave girl on perpetual heat. Sultry and handles any weapon she chooses to wield. Former lover to one Adam Warlock, she an Rich have a "night of passion" on Dadelus Five and he's been seeing her on/off, though at some point while he's on Earth, she gets infected by the Transmode Virus. Bad luck? Maybe, though it doesn't stop her from trying to keep her love affair on the kitchen stove; though she stoops to go an' make Rich into a Select by giving a case of the cooties! In Nova 10, we'll see if Rich, presently 17% free of the virus, is able to keep up his guard against Gamora's sexy advances while trapped in a room aboard Knowhere. One slip and maybe like poor Samaya, he'll be the one to loose his head; in more ways than one!!

But is Gamora right for Richard? Personally, I like another Nova fan's interpretation of Rich as a new Captain Kirk; he's young, so he can afford to be choosy. In my take of Rich's timeline, we're toying on letting Gamora slide over for Rich to have a few new relatioships from time to time, and yes one of them is a blue skinned Kree called Z-Han who may have "links" to a certain Ko-Rel. But in Nova, the comic, do you think the Nova/Gamora relationship can last to the end of 2008? So have a vote and a say and let me hear your thoughts!
