### Qoute

"My father never did stress diplomacy."

**Gamora** is a Marvel Comics heroine who is a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy and is one of the main

protagonists of the 2014 film *Guardians of the Galaxy*. She is a former assassin who once served her adopted father Thanos before freeing herself and sought to stop him once and for all until he caught and (most unwillingly) killed her.

## Background

Gamora is widely known at the most dangerous woman in the universe and skilled in the use of every weapon. She is a survivor of Thanos' massacre on half the Zenwhoberi people. The strength she displayed as a child resisting Chitauri forces caught Thanos' eye that the warlord decided to take her in as one of his own once he killed her family.

### Personality

Gamora is very strong and deadly. While her upbringing by Thanos could have turned her into someone like Cull Obsidian or Nebula, Gamora is actually very friendly and naturally driven by the desire to do what is right, as opposed to what is easy. The latter trait puts her at odds with Star-Lord, who has tender feelings for her, which she eventually reciprocates.
