Spirit also known as Xira is a Luphomoid adventurer. At some point the cosmic being Galactus feasted on the Luphomoid home planet Luphom. Xira is one of the few survivors of her people. She is the sister Kraa and Zorr. Nebula is her alleged niece. Her relation to Thanos, if any, is uncertain, giving Nebula’s uncertain blood relationship with the mad titan. Spirit seeks her own death in battle but only wants to be killed by a worthy foe, such as an Avatar of Death. She worshipped an Avatar who happened to resemble Death Metal in appearance. She followed Death Metal in hopes of facing him in battle and meet her death. However they ended up allying in a different battle. Spirit emerged as one of Gamora’s Graces alongside Cerise, Nebula, Stellaris and Tana Nile. She seems to have met her end fighting the Swarm in the Annihilation Wave.
