Personality[]
Nebula's backstory is mostly a mystery, even to this day. When she was the alleged daughter of a warlord who was the alleged son of Thanos, Nebula was dedicated to claiming that she was the Feared Titan's granddaughter. She can also be envious and vindictive of those around her, even her adoptive sister Gamora. When she wields the Infinity Gauntlet, intending to use it for selfish (and vindictive) reasons. She used to be cold, calculating and unforgiving, even being morally dubious when she got her cybernetic enhancements. However, after her brain was repaired, she shows gratitude by saving a man most responsible while using the rest of her crew as a diversion and then leaving them to die.
Her deepest desire is even to be feared rather than loved. She occasionally gives loyalty towards some people on occasion such as her cewman Geater for not only saving her life but restoring her ability to think and make her own choices. However, Nebual still uses people, such as Gorth, Captain Marvel, Silver Surfer and the Jack of Hearts.
In other portrayls of Nebula, she is mostly portrayed as a tragic villain who was abused by Thanos and at times, Gamora, as seen in the Guardians of the Galaxy: The Telltale Series and the Disney XD adaptation of Guardians of the Galaxy. In the comic book universe Nebula became slightly less evil after going bald,
