Biography
This unidentified woman was a member of the Zen-Whoberi race. She was the mother of a girl named Gamora. The Mad Titan known as Thanos believed that the only way true balance in the universe could be achieved was by culling half of the galaxy's population, thereby freeing up many of its resources. To this end, he journeyed to the planet Zen-Whoberi and committed mass genocide, slaughtering large numbers of his people. Gamora's mother was one such casualty. Thanos saw something impressive in the young Gamora however, and decided to adopt her. He took her with him to his base on Sanctuary II and raised her to be one of the deadliest assassins in the universe.
