The last surviving member of her species, Gamora is an orphan who was raised by the mysterious Thanos, and trained by Ronan the Accuser to become an unparalleled warrior through rigorous training and physiological augmentation. As Thanos’ personal assassin, Gamora has put her formidable fighting skills and master swordsmanship to good use, earning her the reputation of 'the most dangerous woman in the universe'. Gamora now seeks redemption for her past crimes as the sole female member of the Guardians, simultaneously awaiting the opportunity to being vengeance to those who have manipulated her.
Powers and abilities
While in the service of Thanos, Gamora had cybernetic appendages and implants installed in her ocular system and respiratory system, providing enhanced strength and vision. Thanos also helped her become a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, trained in the martial arts techniques from various planets, in the uses of the known weaponry of the Milky Way Galaxy, and stealth techniques. She is also a highly skilled gymnast and assassin, and formerly possessed a telepathic link to Thanos.
Gamora is one of the most skilled martial artists in the Marvel Universe. She is capable of defeating opponents who possess superhuman strength and durability that far surpass her own, and she has defeated a military platoon containing dozens of combat-trained men in only a few minutes. She has learned to paralyze or kill opponents using vital point strikes directed at certain nerve clusters. Although skilled in the use of most conventional weapons, she prefers to use knives and swords.
