WHAT IF...? Promo Art Finally Reveals A Detailed Look At The Almost Unrecognizable "Heist" Nebula

Promo art for an upcoming Marvel Legends action figure reveals our best look yet at "Heist Nebula," a version of the character who is completely unlike the Nebula we've come to know in the MCU itself...

Filed Under: What If

What If...? is a show that promises to turn everything we thought we knew about the Marvel Cinematic Universe on its head, and that includes introducing a few very different takes on some familiar faces.

However, Nebula's face is one we barely recognise on this packaging for an upcoming Marvel Legends action figure. While we're sure she might be concealing something beneath her hair, "Heist Nebula" clearly hasn't been through the same brutal experiments at the hands of the Mad Titan as her MCU counterpart.

An official description for this Nebula states, "Tech savvy and brave, Nebula is an intergalactic opportunist who is ready for adventure..."

That obviously doesn't reveal much, but it sounds like she might have at least a few traits in common with the Nebula we've come to know. As of right now, we can't be sure whether any of these What If...? characters will appear in live-action, though it would be a blast to see Karen Gillan play this vastly different version of the reluctant hero in a future project.

It's hard not to look at this Nebula and be reminded of what happened in the Infinity Gauntlet storyline when she used the Gems to restore her original appearance, but will that be the case in this reality?

Check out this promo art below and keep coming back here for more on What If...?

campblood - 8/2/2021, 7:31 AM

@braunermegda - This meme sprung to mind. Lol

@braunermegda - You can't appreciate art?

@braunermegda - If people didn't get aroused at pictures, hentai wouldn't exist. Don't kink shame (especially when it's so tame).

@braunermegda - Have you seen some of those Vampirella and Lady Death covers by Chew,Artgerm, Parrillo,Oliver and Cohen. They drawn/painted they are beautiful and sexy.

Also you would Jessica Rabbit.

"The Almost Unrecognizable "Heist" Nebula"

Glad you out almost in there....cause the blue skin is kind of a dead giveaway

Feralwookiee - 8/2/2021, 7:47 AM

@Mrcool210 - Are you saying all blue-skinned alien cyborg women all look the same?!?

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Kinda wish they went with something closer to the Endgame concept art Nebula

But either way, I'm very intrigued what What If scenario this Nebula is part of. My guess is probably the same one with Gamora in Thanos-armor.

DiegoMD - 8/2/2021, 9:13 AM

@bkmeijer - Beautiful

ElvenKingSlayer - 8/2/2021, 10:26 AM

@bkmeijer - I still hope they will give her an artificial eye. Maybe Goose returns in Love and Thunder or Gotg 3..

MarvelousMarty - 8/2/2021, 6:31 AM

So looking forward to this.

I liked Nebula as a space pirate in the comics, so this should be fun.

ElvenKingSlayer - 8/2/2021, 10:19 AM

Like I mentioned in an earlier article. Over 50 Original MCU Cast Members Will Return For The Series: and the artist hashtags the four who won't! That's highly impressive if not done on purpose!
