History: (Captain Marvel X#128 (fb) - BTS) - Gamora is the adopted daughter of Thanos the Just, a wise and noble peacekeeper from the moon of Titan. Unlike her adopted sister Nebula, who became the captain of the Titan's Peace Force, Gamora rejected Thanos' ways and became a space pirate, joining Lord Starkill's Ravagers gang alongside Draxx, Rockette and Root. Gamora's adoptive father never lost hope for her, believing that she would one day come back home.

(Captain Marvel X#127) - Returning to the Ravagers' asteroid base after he had successfully obtained the Reality Stone on the planet Gaia, Lord Starkill noticed that he was being followed and alerted the rest of the Ravagers. Soon after, they were attacked by the rival Zeta Flight gang led by Starkill's nemesis Corporal Carol Danvers (secretly Captain Marvel of reality-616 posing as her Reality-25271 counterpart). As soon as Zeta Flight got through the airlock, the Ravagers faced and attacked them with Gamora engaging with Widower. The Zetas were soon captured and escorted to a cell. When Danvers noted how absurd it was for a screw-up like Peter Quill to be her nemesis, Gamora countered that it was the Zetas who looked like screw-ups.

(Captain Marvel X#128) - In front of the Ravagers, Starkill announced his plan of selling his nemesis to Thanos for a fee. However, the rest of his crew, Gamora in particular, found this plan extremely foolhardy and dangerous. The Zetas had grown tired of their leader acting weirdly of late as well and so the two gangs soon sided together in a shared mutiny against their captains, which Gamora supported. The Ravagers then decided to deliver both former captains to Thanos for a reward. Upon landing on Titan, Gamora was welcomed by her sister Nebula in peace only to start a brawl with her in turn. They were stopped by the arrival of their father, who offered his forgiveness to Gamora and took the captives to the Gauntlet, Seat of Galactic Justice. There, Thanos found the lives of two criminals incapable of redemption worth nothing in exchange until Rockette revealed the Reality Stone she had taken from Quill. Seeing what he did not truly believe existed until that point, Thanos ordered every pirate seized and announced his intention to use the Stone to rid of the galaxy of all who pirate and pillage. Upon hearing that, all pirates present opened fire at Thanos and Nebula while Gamora knocked the Reality Stone from her father's hand. Nebula was enraged at her sister for harming Thanos but he held no ill will towards his daughter and ordered Nebula to let her sister and her friends go, saying that justice would find them regardless. While escaping, the pirates managed to loot the treasury and Rockette noted that they were essentially becoming one super-sized group.

Comments: Created by Margaret Stohl and Michele Bandini.

   Reality-25271 features several significant differences from Reality-616, such as Groot being a giant carrot and Rocket Raccoon being a humanoid girl while Gamora herself looks unlike any of her known multiversal counterparts. As such, nothing about her can be presumed to match that of reality-7528's Gamora including her full name and species of origin.

   The relationship between Nebula and Gamora being adoptive sisters raised together by Thanos is clearly based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of those characters.

   After Carol Danvers-616 returned to her home reality, the further escapades of the Ravagers and the Zetas remain unrevealed.

   The Ravagers appear in Captain Marvel X#129 but we don't see Gamora specifically so it's unclear if she is with them during that appearance. It seems likely that she was present but since we don't know for sure, we did not include the appearance above but here is the synopsis just in case:
"(Captain Marvel X#129 (fb) - BTS) - Upon the return to the Ravagers' ship, Danvers was kidnapped by Doctor Eve from her own reality-616, who took her to Hala in a small craft. Lord Starkill ordered all pirates to pursue them in their vessel."
