It's Storm. And amped Black Vortex Gamora.

Storm is very skilled, though - remember her showings against Ursa Major, Cyclops, Crimson Commando, Forge's artificial "mutants" and Black Panther.


I give you she can fight, but, she shouldnt be able to touch Gamora's supposed skill level.

Managing to survive a few moments against Gamora is well within Bucky's abilities.

I'm asking WHO Bucky is, as Bucky Barnes is Winter Soldier, and in the new Thunderbolts.
Is it frikin' Rick Jones again?!? Thought he was A Bomb (unless that was retconned which i'd be ok with as i found that stupid.).

In all fairness, she was hanging with Wolverine until she got distracted. I'm unaware of her fight with Kurt.

Ronan has his ups and downs too, but I still think that's a pretty good feat for her. She's also done good against Dumb Drax and even took the Thing out with a nerve strike (pretty durable guy). Oh well, like I said, she's all over the place.

But also remember in fairness that Thing was only got hit because Sasquatch was holding him - Gamora actually stated she couldn't have got past his fists otherwise.

Anyway Gamora > Moondragon > Mantis.

Mantis actually gotten stalemated a number of times and was beaten by Champion and humiliated by Moondragon. I always thought classic Gamora was a bit above Moondragon.

Not if Storm is hanging with her. 🙄

Physically, not even close. Moondragon would have lasted 30 second if she was luck vs Ronan.

See what I mean about Gamora? She goes from throwing hands with the likes of Thanos and Ronan to losing to Bucky.

What book was it by the way?

Dude, it's the writers in the MCU era. They dumbed her down to make her more palatable and movie friendly.

You were right though, Bucky had both hands full and didn't want to fight her, but I still think she beats him if they did go full tilt. No big deal either way though.

I was more surprised that the nerve strike even worked on the Thing.

leonidas MWHAHAHAHA!

yeah, but to some, that translates to her 'losing' to bucky. 😂

Yeah, here's the scene. It was during the Infinity Crusade IRRC:

Oh yeah, but I meant just in terms of H2H I think Gamora is a bit ahead of Moondragon who is ahead of Mantis. Physically yes, Gamora was well above MD.

The other interesting thing here is that Moondragon once attempted similar nerve strikes on Thing but failed to do anything, and Thing claimed a guy with his skin doesn't have weak spots she can get to - leading to the infamous Thing puts Moondragon on his knee and spanks her scene.

Ah, a classic scene.
