Gamora

**Gamora** is a former intergalactic assassin and member of the *Guardians of the Galaxy*, a team of interstellar anti-heroes.

## History

### Background

Gamora is the last-survivor of the Zehoberei species, a people who were massacred by the mad titan, Thanos. Thanos adopted Gamora to be his assassin daughter that he abusively raised to aid in his goal to slaughter half of life in existence with the Infinity Stones. Gamora's surrogate sister was Nebula, a cyborg woman adopted by Thanos and torturously raised to likewise be an assassin for his cause.

Around 2014, Gamora defected from Thanos and was a founding member of the *Guardians of the Galaxy* who received pardons from the *Nova Corps* thanks to saving their planet Xandar from Ronan the Accuser. After this, the Guardians received pardons and would go on to travel the universe as anti-heroes in Star Lord's ship *The Milano*. Gamora appeared for interviews on the broadcast *Good Morning Xandar* alongside fellow Guardian, Star-Lord.

### Cosmic Rewind

The Guardians of the Galaxy were contacted again by the Nova Corps when one of their ships in Earth's orbit was attacked by the Celestial, *Eson the Searcher* who stole their *Cosmic Generator*. As the ship had no power, Rocket suggested that they use Terrans being transported from EPCOT to follow Eson the Searcher in Starjumpers while the Guardians assisted from The Milano.

The Guardians and the Terrans followed Eson the Searcher through a portal leading to the Big Bang and pursued throughout events of cosmic history. Ultimately, Eson was trapped in an energy net created by various Star Blaster ships of the Nova Corps. After this, the Terrans returned to EPCOT and the Guardians sent them hologram messages, thanking them and naming them (honorary) members of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

### Adventures

The Guardians of the Galaxy acted as intergalactic anti-heroes within their ship the Milano, and became familiar with the *Avengers* of Earth, namely Hope van Dyne AKA The Wasp.

### Mission: BREAKOUT!

Along with the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Gamora was captured by Taneleer Tivan when Tivan lead Star-Lord into a trap with promise of a free tour. The Guardians of the Galaxy were subsequently put on display in the Collector's teleporting Fortress which travelled to the *Avengers Campus California* of Earth. While imprisoned, Gamora was labelled as the, "Daughter of Thanos" spurning her anger and causing her to be electrocuted by her suspended tank.

During her incarceration, Gamora attempted texting the Wasp for assistance in escaping. The guardians escaped when Rocket Raccoon shut down the power generators with the help of Tivan's guests, letting the guardians escape in the *Milano* piloted by Mantis.

### Awesome Dance-Off

Star-Lord returned to the Fortress again with Gamora in search of his boom-box, still in the Collector's Possession. While in the campus, he and Gamora learned the Collector was tracking them from anywhere on Earth using thermo-sensors. To scramble the sensors, Star-Lord got a group of the Terrans at Avengers Campus to start dancing around him and Gamora while playing music. When this didn't work, Rocket advised them to overload the sensors instead, with Star-Lord did by inciting a Dance-Off. After overloading the sensors, Star-Lord and Gamora left though an adult Groot chose to stay behind with the Terrans for a while.

### Avengers Campus Paris

The Guardians of the Galaxy travelled to Avengers Campus Paris to look for new recruits. Here, they were detected and welcomed by the campus' artificial-intelligence F.R.I.D.A.Y.. Star-Lord rejected Gamora's idea to look for new recruits via a fight to the death, instead choosing to challenge them to a dance-off. When F.R.I.D.A.Y. played Tony Stark's inspirational playlist for music, Star-Lord had Rocket Racoon hack the system, causing a campus-wide alert to play Quill's soundtrack instead.

When FRIDAY eventually regained control, she sternly informed the Guardians that Stark wants to meet with them at headquarters, leading to the guardians instead choosing to flee. After this, Rocket hacks FRIDAY again to download their playlist and state, "Star-Lord is Awesome", playing one last song as the Guardians make their get-away.
