- ―Von Nebula
7145 Von Nebula is a Hero Factory villian released in July 2010. He is the leader of the villains in the Hero Factory storyline. He wears a black version of the same mask as the BIONICLE set 8923 Hydraxon. Von Nebula is currently one of the three known larger Hero Factory sets.

Description
Von Nebula is shown to be armoured with two Bohrok shells on his back, a Piraka finned foot as a breastplate, Toa Metru feet at his upper thighs, Rahkshi legs as heels and the piston introduced in 2006 as the front part of his legs, and it is protected by Skrall armour. He has Toa Mata feet (the very first BIONICLE feet) and his arms are protected by the same spikes as 7147 XPlode. His arms don't appear to be bendable at the elbows, but the hands have a visual upgrade from previous titans: the hands are held the same as with smaller sets and the claws (Piraka claw feet) are an extension of them, so the hands can move upwards. The staff has two 8945 Solek blades and a recoloured Tridax Pod. It is the same blue as the end of the shoulder spikes. As shoulder reinforcement he uses the same parts as the arms and legs of Throwbots. His head consist of 4 parts: an orange Glatorian head with a black version of 8923 Hydraxon's mask and two of the parts used in the claws of 8919 Mantax and 7148 Meltdown. He has a foot piece that was common for the Piraka for his hands.
Background
Von Nebula (also known as: The Mastermind) is the leader of a powerful gang of villains. He carries a staff which is able to create black holes.[1] Von Nebula was once known as "Von Ness" and was a hero, being part of Preston Stormer's first team. His cowardice almost caused the mission to fail, a city to be destroyed, and his team leader to be killed. But Von Ness blamed Stormer. He disappeared, and returned later as the criminal Von Nebula, hating Hero Factory. He is a great organizer and planner. His insignia is similar to a recycle sign, his quote is "The world will tremble when I have my revenge!". He is sucked into his black hole staff. Because of the clip at the end of the Hero Factory episode "Von Nebula", a fly is sucked into Von Nebula's Black Hole Orb Staff. If a second series is made, it is presumed Von Nebula will return from the staff he was sucked into.
Notes
- This is the only villain and 'Titans' set that does not wield a Meteor Blaster.
- Interestingly, the legs have the pistons at the front, instead of the back, making the other part the centre it bends around from.
- This is one of the two sets in the Hero Factory theme that use a preexisting mask/helmet' the other being the 7160 Drop Ship.
- In the cartoon, his rookie form is black with orange arms, similar to 7170 Jimi Stringer, but with the same spikes on arms.
- His helmet is also the same, except for the tusks.
