The Most Powerful Avengers In The MCU Ranked

Gamora went through the same childhood and a similar (though less painful) set of cybernetic enhancements as her "sister" Nebula. In the comics, she's referred to as "the deadliest woman in the galaxy," and in the MCU, she has an infamous history as one of Thanos' most lethal assassins. Of course, she hated Thanos all along and was quietly scheming against him, waiting for the right opportunity to betray him. 

Possessing enhanced strength, speed, quickness, and durability, Gamora is anyone's equal in one-on-one combat. Drax did manage to get the drop on her in prison and used his raw strength to nearly kill her, but Gamora was both exhausted and dispirited at that point. In a typical combat scenario, Gamora is a much more efficient and clever fighter than Drax. The Guardians' battle against the Abilisk is proof of this, as Gamora struck the killing blow against the monster.

In addition to being able to use any kind of weapon with great proficiency (though she usually prefers a blade), Gamora is an ace pilot and a master of unarmed combat. She's also a tremendous improviser, as she used her charm to disarm Peter Quill when they first met and she was trying to capture him. 

The current version of Gamora is a time-swept one from 2014, before she broke away from Thanos and joined up with the Guardians. As such, she's much more brutal than the version who died at Thanos' hands in 2018.
