She was the sixth member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, and is noted for her acrobatic and sharp-shooting skill. She first appeared in Marvel Presents #4, and was created by Steve Gerber (who did not call her Nicholette Gold).

Nikki traveled to the present with the other Guardians, and assisted the Avengers in battle against Korvac.[3] She traveled to the present again, and battled Hammer and Anvil alongside Spider-Man.[4]
Alongside the Guardians, Nikki later went on a quest to find the lost shield of Captain America, and battled Taserface.[5] She battled the Stark alongside the other Guardians.[6] She encountered Firelord.[7] She battled the super-humanoid team known as Force alongside the Guardians.[8]
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.
