During the Infinity Crusade Gamora becomes brainwashed by
the powerful Goddess. Gamora joins the Goddess as one of her Holy Guard
who are committed to defend Paradise Omega while the Godess plots an
end to all life in the Universe.
The events of the Infinity Crusade occur after The Infinity Gauntlet and The Infinity War.
The Cosmic Egg is created by The Goddess from 30 Cosmic Containment Units which she has gathered from myriad dimensions.
The
Cosmic Egg is a powerful artifact which allows The Goddess to make real
her every wish. After forging the Cosmic egg the Goddess emerges as The
Redemptress.
While defending Paradise Omega, Gamora fought many of Earths
super heroes who she was able to defeat. Gamora was easily able to
overpower the Thing, Night Thrasher and Rage during the conflict.
During the battle, Wolverine managed to pierce Gamora in the stomach
with his claws. However, Gamora was able to recover due to her
accelerated healing abilities.
The Living Tribunal is a powerful being as old as the
Universe itself. It acts as a protector of the multiverse, preventing
the imbalance of power to be controlled by one universe over the others.
In order to protect the cosmic balance the Living
Tribunal will act to prevent overwhelming imbalances of power between
universes or of an imbalance of good and evil within a universe.
When
Adam Warlock gains control of the Infinity Gems, he becomes near
omnipotent and is driven mad with power that he now possesses. This was
too much power for one being to wield according to the cosmic laws.
Thanks
to the Living Tribunal, Warlock was not permitted to use the infinity
gems so he creates the Infinity Watch to guard these powerful stones.
Warlock chooses from the most trusted people in the galaxy to help keep
the Infinity Gems from the wrong hands.
Warlock divided the gems between five allies he thought he could trust:
Moondragon (Mind Gem)
Drax the Destroyer (Power Gem)
Gamora (Time Gem)
Pip (Space Gem)
Adam Warlock (Soul Gem)
Thanos (Reality Gem)
The Infinity Watch were tasked with safeguarding the individual gems.
Gamora
was charged with protecting the Time Gem although she did not agree
with his choices. She grudgingly agreed assuming he had a cosmic
intelligence.
The individual members of the Infinity Watch all got
captured by Man-Beast. This led to Warlock deciding that the individual
members needed to remain together to work as a team.
Following
their rescue by Warlock, The Infinity Watch were assembles and created a
base on Monster Island, the territory of Mole Man.
Due to the actions of Thanos that happen outside of the published story, Gamora and Pip are mortally injured.
As
Gamora lay dying, she reports to Warlock of the true intentions of
Thanos that she uncovered. Warlock used his Soul Gem to send their souls
to live within the Soul World.
When Adam Warlock is killed by his younger self, he joins Gamora and Pip in Soul world where they live in peace.
Years
later, the Soul World was visited by Drax the Destroyer and Silver
Surfer. They seek assistance from Warlock to help them defeat Thanos
after he returned from the dead.
Warlock helps guide Gamora and Pip out of the Soulworld to prevent Thanos from continuing to increase in power.
In
order to exist in the real world, the souls of Gamora, Pip and Warlock
needed bodies to inhabit. They found three car-accident fatalities that
offered them the bodies that they required.
Gamora is returned to life in Infinity Gauntlet #1 as the revived corpse of a woman named Bambi Long.
These events led up to the epic The Infinity Gauntlet story arc.
The relationship between Gamora and Thanos is a
complicated affair. So how did the Mad Tyrant become father to The
Deadliest Woman in the Galaxy?
In
the Marvel comic book story, Thanos selected Gamora purely as a
potential weapon to be trained up to become an assassin of the Magus.
Gamora was born into the alien humanoid race called the
Zen Whoberis. When her home planet was destroyed, Thanos took the young
Gamora into his care.
In her original timeline
(7528) Gamora’s race was wiped out by a zealous religious order called
the Universal Church of Truth which worshiped the Magus.

Millions of people became familiar with the Guardians of the

However fans of Marvel comics have been aware of Star Lord and his
companions for many years.
In
the MCU movies, we see the Guardians of the Galaxy team together with
the Avengers to defeat Thanos in his quest to end half the life in the
Universe.
Starlord, Groot, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, Rocket
Racoon and Mantis have a rich and varied history within the Marvel comic
books which is well worth reading into.
Drax the Destroyer
Drax
the Destroyer is committed to revenge against Ronan the Accuser after
his wife and daughter was murdered by the Kree warlord.
In
the movies, Drax is played by Dave Bautista. He is an alien species
that is unable to understand metaphors as they can only speak literally.
Gamora
Gamora is played by Zoe Saldana in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies.
She was the adopted daughter of Thanos who spared her while annihilating her home planet and race of Zehoberei.
She
is raised by Thanos as an assassin along with her adopted sister
Nebula. As a result Gamora became known as The Deadliest Woman in the
Galaxy.
Rocket Raccoon
Rocket Raccoon is a weapons fanatic, pilot and technical expert in the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.
The character is played by Sean Gunn via motion capture and voiced by Bradley Cooper.
Rocket
was created as a result of experiments by alien scientists on the
Halfworld planet where he was genetically and cybernetically enhanced so
that he was given sentient levels of intelligence.
Star-Lord / Peter Jason Quill
Star-Lord is played by Chris Pratt in the MCU. The movie begins with Peter Quill as a young Earth born child in 1988.
When Peter Quill is captured by Yondu, he is taken in by the Ravagers and gives himself the criminal name of Star-Lord.

Groot is partnered with Rocket Racoon as bounty hunters, collecting rewards for capturing wanted felons.
Baby Groot
Sacrificing himself to save the team, Groot dies in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
A sample of him is recovered by Rocket which is grown into a new Groot offspring.
During
Vol.2 Groot is a child-like version of the original Groot. Baby Groot
became one of the most popular Guardians of the Galaxy characters. In
Infinity War and Endgame, Groot has grown to resemble a teenager.
Mantis
Mantis is played by Pom Klementieff as an empathic alien working for Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Mantis
has abilities to help read and effect peoples emotions. During Vol.2
Mantis uses her abilities to encourage the living planet Ego to sleep as
the team try to destroy it.
Then in Avengers: Infinity War she was able to briefly disable Thanos.
Yondu
Yondu Udonta is a Centaurian leader of a team of Ravegers.
When Ego instructed him to kidnap Peter Quill from Earth, Yondu decided to keep Quill as his adopted son.
During
the conclusion of GOTG vol.2 Yondu sacrificed himself to save Star
Lord. Yondu is played by Michael Rooker in the MCU movies.
Nebula
Karen Gillan plays Nebula, the adopted daughter of Thanos.
Nebula was a Luphomoid spared by Thanos after he killed her family. Thanos raised Nebula as his personal assassin.
Nebula
would train with Gamora but as she could never defeat Gamora, Thanos
would continually upgrade her body to try and improve her abilities.
