All I really know about her is her brawls with Maxim, which were pretty awesome, and all the hype from Ronan, and a supposedly uber new healing factor.
And aside, how durable is diamond form anyways? Emma ever been harmed in it? Does it also give her super strength?

Flash-KO, maybe. As Emma is seen again at the end of the scene, although reverted to human form.
This also confirms Gamora's high level strength... something that Gamora tards always wanted to deny, so every major showing could be attributed to her skill alone. Heh.
She has powers, but of course they want to promote her skill without it. Who do they think Gamora is, Iron Fist?

Usually by exploiting a flaw in her form. Organic diamond is near indestructible, but yeah she's been harmed --- by Sleeping Celestial's drones for example:

Also, Cyclops managed to KO her with an optic blast to the head, even though she was amped at the time by the same cosmic rays that gave F4 their powers...
Some of this actually does sound impressive, but he also clearly doesn't know modern Danny as well as he does Gamora. That orbital fall, for example. Bet he doesn't know Prince of Orphans blasting him out of K'un L'un with a Kamehameha, and he walks it off.
Or that he KO'd a guy who manhandled Thor (Bres.). Not to mention putting a hurting on Ragnarok (Although that was a team effort.)
I don't think I'll bother, though..

Gamora got ruined in the handoff to Bendis. She used to actually use skill, but I can't recall any real time when she was outfighting her opponent since then. Maybe I need to pay attention more but it all seems like casual swordfighting when I remember it.
You actually posted scans that were showing Gamora in a positive light. She KO'd Emma in her diamond form with a headbutt. Also Bucky did nothing except run from her and block a sword slash with a decapitated head. (please log in to view the image) I dont think anybody was trying to deny she has enhanced strength. Thats all the more reason why she would beat Logan.

Imho, Bucky appeared to land a hit with LMD's head... but it's hard to tell with this art. There's no sound effect, so I guess you could argue she dodged it. That's how you interpret it?
Anyway, it doesn't show her in much of a positive light... Winter Soldier with both hands occupied with non-weapons and not looking for a fight actually managing to hold his own against "the deadliest woman in the galaxy"...
But ok, let's move to the next one!
Gamora amped w/ Black Vortex vs. Storm... in a sword fight

Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
neither one sweeps this. depends on which showings you use for both tbh. logan has demonstrated some crazy levels of skill in the past. he's also fought like uneducated bruiser much of his career. she also has displayed great skill and some solid strength feats. it's really close if she has her sword and both are seen at their best. i think it fluctuates between a near split to near sweeps depending on which showing you use against the others' showing.
Meh, Gamora still looked better than WS and Storm in both those showings. It's also clear that she dodged that strike with the LMD head, or her head would be turned the other way.
Still, Marvel needs to figure out how superhuman Gamora is supposed to be right now. It's unclear even in the movies, though some of the stuff she pulled off in GoTG2 was impressive, iirc.
Gender: Male Location: Planning to take over the WORLD!
yeah, even in the comics she is a little bit confusing tbh. she has never really consistently lived up to her hype and doesn't have many (any?) convincing wins against well-known and established characters. makes her tough to gauge imo in these types of battles. i'd THINK that if both were at their best she would take a majority, but it's a tough stance to defend given her inconsistent history. she's performed well against characters like rage and ben and even more than held her own against danvers and even ronan. this type of fight though is still hard to gauge.

She clearly dodged it. The swing went over her as she bent backwards.
Holding his own? He was running from her. Lol. Credit to Bucky for using the head to block the sword strike, but other than that, he did nothing and then it was all over. Your making way to much out of nothing.
Again with you making something out of nothing. It was barely a fight and Storm was the only person that got struck. What was your point in posting all of that again?
So she picked up a sword. What an absolutely amazing feat. Not bringing up the fact that Storms lightning had no effect what so ever though are you?
Gamora was actually going to be one of my honorable mentions in the "Most Overrated Marvel Characters" thread, but Vulcan exists.
Honestly, I think Gamora should be written much more powerful than she is. I would prefer her to be a low herald with martial arts skills enabling her to fight mid/high herald, but she's rarely depicted that way. Instead, Carol Danvers bent Gamora over a rail when they fought, and was barely trying.
Also, Wolverine still wins. 40 years of publication and Gamora finally got a reflex feat to match X-23 and Deadpool. I guess that's something.
