Who is Marvel's Nebula?
12. She was Thanos's adopted daughter
Nebula was adopted by Thanos, who raised her alongside Gamora, who he openly preferred, which caused Nebula to develop hatred towards her sister. It was then discovered by by Starfox (a brother of Thanos) that Nebula was Thanos's granddaughter, and therefore his grand-neice. However, she hails from the planet Luphom, not Titan, so her claim to being her adopted dad's granddaughter is tenuous.
11. Thanos torched her body
After being reborn, Thanos torched Nebula's body to the brink of death and left her to roam around his space palace barely conscious, a shell of a living being. She unfortunately endured 'The Mad Titan's' wrath for hijacking his ship, The Sanctuary. He then kept her as some kind of undead pet. Before this, she used to have a full head of hair and looked very different to her latest form.
10. She has wielded the Infinity Gauntlet
Thanos made the grave mistake of leaving his body to become omnipotent, which is when the vacant, barely alive being, Nebula, took the gauntlet and restored herself back to life and full health.
9. She was imprisoned on Titan
After conceding the gauntlet to Adam Warlock, she was placed in the custody of Firelord and Starfox on Titan, Thanos's home planet.
8. Nebula has joined forces with Thanos's son
Thane, son of Thanos, enlisted Nebula in a plan to kill his father. As part of his scheme, Thane deceived Nebula, Starfox and Champion into stealing a Phoenix Egg, which possesses the Phoenix Force. Upon discovering this, Nebula killed Thane, but the egg hatched and the Phoenix Force turned him into its new host. In order to stop Thane, they had to enlist the help of none other than the person they were trying to destroy - Thanos!
7. She once kidnapped Thor and Kid Loki
Nebula was able to subdue and kidnap Thor , as well as Kid Loki. It was during an attempt to invade Earth with the Naglfar Beacon, a powerful weapon, that Loki came to Thor's rescue along with the Asgardians of the Galaxy to defeat Nebula and take the Beacon from her.
6. She is a Luphomoid
Nebula is blue-skinned so looks a bit like the Kree race, but she is a Luphomid from the planet Luphom. She is one of very few survivors of her species as she was fortunately off-world when her planet was consumed by world devourer Galactus. Her aforementioned claim to being Thanos's granddaughter was more of plea for mercy when she knew she would endure his wrath for stealing his ship.
5. She was constantly upgraded
Thanos abducted the space pirate Nebula at a young age to be his adopted daughter and soldier, but due to her inability to defeat her adopted sister, Gamora, she was continuously upgraded with parts in an attempt to make her stronger, until she practically became a complete cyborg.
4. Captain Marvel was one of the first heroes she encountered
Nebula planned to conquer the Skrull Empire with her crew aboard the Sanctuary II. Little did she know that Captain Marvel had sneaked aboard after being sent to investigate unusual activity. Carol Danvers duped Nebula into believing she would assist her but instead helped the Skrulls to escape.
3. She is a highly skilled war general
Nebula is highly skilled in military strategy and space warfare. A natural leader, she is intelligent, a master of using advanced technology and also very adept at hand to hand combat.
2. She has barley met the Guardians of the Galaxy
The only interaction Nebula has had with the Guardians is when they collaborated together to fight against Thanos. Even then, it was Gamora and Drax she encountered and not Star-Lord or Rocket Raccoon. However, she was a member of the Graces, a group led by Gamora.
1. She was the saviour of the universe
It was Nebula who undid the snap from Thanos that wiped out half the universe. After Thanos destroyed half of all beings in the universe in a bid to impress his true love, Mistress Death; he left his body to become a cosmic entity to defeat various celestials such as Entity. However, leaving his vacant body sitting on his throne gave the skeletal, almost empty vessel that used to be Nebula a chance to take the glove from his arm and restore herself and the rest of the universe back to life again.
Bonus Fact: Nebula was declared 'Universal threat level' by the space police known as the Nova Corps. This wan't enough for her, who desperately wanted to be known as the 'Deadliest Woman in the Galaxy', which was a title Gamora held.
