History

Nicholette "Nikki" Gold was born on the planet Mercury in the 31st Century. When she was a child, the Badoon invaded the solar system and her home planet, killing her parents before her eyes. She managed to flee and was eventually found by the Guardians of the Galaxy in an abandoned spacecraft. She joined the Guardians, seeking excitement and adventure after years of solitude.[1] She joined with Vance Astro in a metaphysical union in a successful attempt to use the force of human love to destroy the Topographical Man.[2]

Nikki travelled to the present with the other Guardians and assisted the Avengers in battle against Korvac, where she died fighting him, before being revived by Korvac.[3] She travelled to the present again and battled Hammer and Anvil alongside Spider-Man.[citation needed]

Alongside the Guardians, Nikki later went on a quest to find the lost shield of Captain America, and battled Taserface. She battled the Stark alongside the other Guardians. She encountered Firelord. She battled the super-humanoid team known as Force alongside the Guardians.[citation needed]

During her time on the team, Nikki had a romantic relationship with Charlie-27, though they later amicably separated. She became attracted to newcomer Talon, though he simply wished to remain friends.[citation needed]
