If you’ve been keeping up with Marvel’s latest comic event — Infinity Wars (not to be confused with Infinity War, the movie) — you’ll know that fan-favorite Guardian of the Galaxy Gamora recently had a major reveal, and a pretty dark one at that. So dark, in fact, she may have just solidified her future role as one of Marvel’s next big bads, just like her father. The question is: how did she end up here, and, more importantly, what does that actually mean?

Soul Searching
Unsurprisingly, Gamora’s descent into madness (?) begins well before all the Infinity Gem chaos really started to ramp up, all the way back in the mid ‘70s before the original Infinity Gauntlet event where Gamora’s consciousness was absorbed into the Soul Gem after her body was killed. In the ensuing years, Gamora’s soul was projected from the Soulworld housed within the gem and given new physical form, essentially resurrecting her and paving the way for the modern Gamora we know and love today.
