The Nebula costume comes from the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise. She is portrayed by the actress Karen Gillan.
Nebula is the daughter of the sinister villain Thanos. Her sister is Gamora. Throughout her life, Nebula has believed that Gamora is her favorite sister.
When they were small, the two were pitted against one another in combat. Every time Nebula lost to Gamora, Thanos would replace a part of her body with a metallic piece.
This gives Nebula quite the chip on her shoulder and leaves her motivated by revenge in almost everything she does. Even when she joins the good guys, she is still doing so to get access to her father, Thanos, so she can exact revenge.
Nebula is very cynical and bitter. She does not show much emotion outside of her anger. Nebula is a loner who does not get along well with others.
