==Description==
  
A tall, somewhat elderly south american man with silvering hair and a handsome smile, Lord Nova has recently started wearing a helmetless suit of armor. He favors long cloaks, Roman-era architecture, and talks a lot like Khan Noonian Singh as played by Ricardo Montalbon. He has been an active supervillain since at least 1938. He controls a secret empire in La Inferna Verde in Brazil, and makes regular attempts to conquer the remainder of the New World through advanced technology, armed minions, and subtle conspiracies. Over the years, he has made many, many enemies.
+
A master of disguise, reports of Façades's true face are contradictory. He appears to be a former actor, circus clown, or make-up man, depending on which story you believe. Fascade is a dangerous sociopath with a lifelong obsession with masks-- a clear case of Napier's Syndrome.
  
===Abilities===

==Abilities==
  
Until about 1970, Lord Nova demonstrated no superpowers beyond an astonishing intellect, great charisma, formidable personal skills, and the fact that he apparently didn't age. After 1970, however, he began aging again, and has somehow acquired some form of plasma generation abilities; however, it is possible that these are in fact a product of the armor he has never been seen without since 1970. He has access to a great deal of advanced technology, armies of minions, and incredible resources.

Façade is a normal human, but ruthless, and a master of disguise. He's also a dangerous combatant.
