History

Origins

Soldier of Thanos

This variant of Nebula is a temporal divergence of her Earth-199999 counterpart, sharing her history up until 2014, while she was still working closely with her father Thanos and her sister Gamora to hunt down the Infinity Stones to eliminate half of all life in the universe. Her relationship with her sister was strained and antagonistic, while her relationship with her father was fearful and hateful. She was cold, aggressive, and bitter, with no desire other than pleasing her father and staying alive.

Infiltrating the Avengers

In 2023 of the prime timeline, after Thanos achieved his goal of killing half of all life and erased the Infinity Stones from existence, Earth's primary superhero team, the Avengers, traveled through time via the Quantum Realm to divergent realities to retrieve the Stones and restore everyone to life. War Machine and the prime timeline's Nebula, who had reformed and joined the Avengers, traveled to Nebula's divergent reality to retrieve the Power Stone before the boisterous and oversensitive bounty hunter Peter Quill, also called "Star-Lord", could get it as in the prime timeline.

Confronting her future self

They acquired the Stone and War Machine was able to travel back to the present with it. However, Prime Nebula's implants began interfacing with the implants of the divergent Nebula, and she was trapped in 2014, glitching. The divergent Nebula began glitching as well, and so Thanos quickly intercepted and captured the Prime Nebula, learning of his future self's success and subsequent death, and quickly put together that the Avengers were trying to undo his victory. Desperate to prove herself to Thanos, Nebula, without hesitation, obeyed his commands to use the prime Nebula's time machine to travel to the prime timeline's future posing as her future counterpart.

The death of Nebula

After she arrived, Nebula posed as her prime counterpart for some time, and just as the Avengers discovered how to use the Stones to undo Thanos' genocide and return everyone to life, she used the Avengers' time machine to bring Thanos' entire army to the prime timeline. Thanos' ship then opened fire on the Avengers' compound and after Thanos congratulated Nebula for her success, he ordered her to bring him the Stones. Nebula found them in the hands of Hawkeye and prepared to kill him, but was interrupted by Gamora, who had freed the prime Nebula and arrived to stop her. Both Gamora and the older Nebula insisted that Nebula had the same capacity of redemption that of her future self, but Nebula was too scared of her father and tried to kill Gamora instead, prompting the other Nebula to shoot her younger self, instantly killing her.

Legacy

In killing her younger self, the prime timeline's Nebula truly embraced that she was now a different person, and was no longer a thoughtless, driven killer. Killing Nebula also allowed the Avengers to defeat the divergent Thanos, after a long battle where they reduced him to dust, keeping everyone alive and saving the universe from his tyranny.

Trivia

• In an earlier draft of Avengers: Endgame, 2014's Nebula would have intercepted Stark's Infinity Gauntlet during the final battle. She would have tried to use the glove herself in an attempt to prove herself to Thanos but would have died. This scene would also have doubled as a nod to Infinity Gauntlet #5, in which Nebula wields the Infinity Gauntlet.
