**Gamora** Quill, formerly known as Gamora Zen-Whoberi Ben Titan, also known as the Most Dangerous Woman in the Galaxy, is a character in *Once Upon a Time*. She has no Storybrooke counterpart.

## History

Before First Curse

Gamora is born on a planet filled with species known as the Zehoberei to a political Zehoberei and his wife.

As a young child, Gamora's homeworld is invaded by the Mad-Titan Thanos, who kills every last one of the Zehoberei and kills Gamora's parents in front of her. Instead of exterminating the entire race Thanos steals Gamora from her planet and raises her as his own daughter, along with several other kidnapped children and begins to turn them all into weapons. Over the course, Gamora is given several implants in order to become the assassin her father intends for her to be. *(Guardians of the Galaxy)*

During First Curse

Growing up, Gamora always was Thanos' favourite daughter.

As girls, Gamora and Nebula were forced to fight in mortal combat in front of Thanos; however, Gamora keeps on winning the fights again and again, never refraining her attacks on her sister. . Every time Gamora prevails, a part of Nebula was replaced with machinery for Nebula to become Gamora's "equal". Gamora fights to stay alive without even considering what Thanos has been doing to her siblings. *(Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2)*.

After First Curse

Throughout her past crimes, Gamora becomes known as the "Dangerous Woman in the Galaxy" while killing others for Ronan and Thanos. However, after learning Thanos intends to destroy Xandar with a mysterious orb, Gamora plans to betray her family and former friends and allies and steal the Orb for herself to spare others from the pain she went through losing her family and plans to sell it to a man known as "the Collector". *(Guardians of the Galaxy*

Eventually meeting Peter Quill, he helps turn her life around and they marry sometime later. Eventually, Gamora gives birth to a daughter, named Lotus.
