Q-Nova was an active MFGGer, abundant submitter to the main site, and an immense contributor, known for spotting even the smallest changes to the main site, forums, or wiki, often within a matter of minutes. He discovered MFGG during the middle of 2012, but didn't create an account until March 7, 2015.
Before joining the site, he had downloaded many fangames from the main site and played them, the first of which were Gravity Goomba and Crazy Lakitu DX. He had also downloaded many sprite sheets from the main site, and used them for some of his fangames, especially his old ones (which were never released anywhere on the internet). They are sometimes edited so they wouldn't clash with the other sprites used in his fangames.
Like Supernova, he was addicted to collecting badges and is even one of the two members to currently have six rows of badges. He was also a prolific reviewer and has received the Super Reviewer badge. He is a spriter and mainly sprites in a style that is mostly known for lacking outlines. Q-Nova had made several fangames, most of which were submitted to competitions. They are known to use at least mostly custom graphics.
