British artist Cuttlesworth has gained popularity recently for her cute and funny comics about MCU character Nebula, who is known as a “brutal space pirate and mercenary.”

Wikipedia describes Nebula is an athletic woman, and an excellent armed and unarmed combatant. “She possesses a gifted intellect and is a brilliant battle strategist. Nebula uses blasters worn on her wrists that fire concussive blasts of unknown energy or heat blasts that can incinerate a human being almost instantly. She also apparently wears a device that enables her to disguise her appearance, either through illusion-casting or through actual molecular rearrangement of her body and clothing.”

Sounds pretty badass, doesn't she? This adopted daughter of Thanos is the last character you could expect learning about our trifling human emotions and being part of a wholesome family. The contrast between a cold, brutal assassin and family member with a heart of gold is exactly what makes Cuttlesworth's comics so special, and so very unexpected!

I confirm that Morgan and I had this lesson. Her father was not to pleased with me afterwards, but at least no one will dare mess with my Morgan.

Cuttleworth loves illustrating and creating, so much so that she plans to do what many us would love to do: turn her passion into her living. "Making stories and illustrating characters is my passion, and comics are a perfect mix of the two," she told Bored Panda. "So, at some point in my life I decided "You know what? I want to draw comics for a living." I haven't reached that point just yet, but it's my goal!"

Explaining how she came up with the idea for this series, Cuttleworth cited a very specific moment in the latest Avengers movie. "Nebula had really grown on me as a character in the MCU, but in those first 10 minutes of Avengers Endgame I fell in love, she explained. "The moment between her and Tony on the ship was so tender and sweet. She'd finally won something! Not only that, the loser (Tony) was completely respectful about it. It was a first experience for her, and it was done really subtly."

"Well, I'm anything but subtle, so I made the first comic to share what I saw in that moment, and it went on from there!"

    I wanted Morgan to at least have something in her childhood that I never had. Praise.

    When I found out that these titles were in fact reachable, a small tear managed to sneak out of my eye. Luckily, only the little Stark saw, and I made her swear not to tell anyone.

    "Nebula was a daughter of Thanos. Most of her body parts have been replaced, removed by her so called 'father' whenever she lost to one of her siblings," Cuttleworth continues, expanding on the character. "She's been torn apart and shunned. Because of this Nebula has developed a cold bitter personality, starting out as a villain. Despite everything though she has made an obvious effort to change, and that is what I love about her: she doesn't want to be what Thanos made her into. I think with the right environment she could really come into herself."

    In the comic books, Nebula had formed her own gang of space pirates who liked to make trouble. Perhaps in one of the movies, Nebula could cross paths on Earth again, recruit Morgan and mentor her into a gang of evil-fighting 'do-gooders'.

    I'm confused. It this miss Stark or is it the artist's daughter? **Edit: Oh. Yeah. In the later posts the girl is Tony's daughter. And that guy is Tony Stark..... sigh. We'll miss you Tony.

    If the Small Stark hadn't been claimed by Tony, I would have adopted and cared for her as one of my own.

    Pepper looks so confused and worried lol

    "I think everyone (myself included) has a soft spot for characters who seem mean, ruthless, or emotionless, but actually have a heart of gold. It's why I think villains are so popular! We see more of ourselves in imperfection."

    Cuttleworth says that she has plenty more Nebula comics in the pipeline, so for those of you enjoying them there are more to come! "I didn't expect my Nebula comics to take off as much as they have, and I'm really grateful for everyone's support!" she added. "Thank you to everyone who has enjoyed the comics so far."

    Indeed.😉 And the way Rocket sports the iconic 'heh' face of Anya Forger while wanting to tell her that hair does grow on human babies. It's legendary.

    Hair seems so bothersome. I do not envy those that have thread-like substances attached to their skulls.

    I would kill Rocket in a heartbeat if he ever had any intentions to harm my Small Stark.

    No one should be forced to be touched if they do not wish to be touched. It is disrespectful.

    Yeah you do have a point there about body integrity but poor ol' Rocket here doesn't have a choice because of his adorably handsome looks as a raccoon 😍 and the fearsome reputation and protective instincts of Nebula.😨🗡️
