9 Marvel Comics women who deserve their own ABC TV show

Gamora
Gamora is billed as the most dangerous woman in the universe, and with good reason. There isn’t a being in the universe that scares her or that she can’t challenge. She’s been training for years and has turned her body into a superior fighting machine. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we’ve seen Gamora flat-out destroy people who have gotten in her way. In Avengers: Endgame, we got a quick glimpse of a mission she did for Thanos. It would be nice to see what she was like before she joined the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Origin stories can become a bit overdone with popular characters. We know what happened to Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker, and Kal-El, but Gamora’s origin remains a mystery. All we know is that her planet was invaded by Thanos, and his army killed half of the beings on her home planet. After that, he raised her as his daughter. But how did he train her? When did she meet Nebula? And what other missions did she go on? There are a ton of questions like this. Putting Gamora on this kind of platform allows the audience to see how she never let her time with the Mad Titan ruin her good nature.
