Infinity Watch

Moondragon joined the Infinity Watch alongside other powerful heroes who were each designated an Infinity Gem to guard.
 
Other members of the Watch include: Drax the Destroyer, Pip the Troll, Gamora, Maxam, Thanos and Adam Warlock.

One of Moondragon’s first assignments after joining the Infinity Watch was guarding the Mind Gem. This powerful gem boosted her already formidable mental capabilities.

She went out to test those abilities after the group members went off in separate directions.
She soon encountered the Silver Surfer, and sought to help him find his home planet of Zenn-La. The planet had been taken by the entity known as the Great One.

The powerful being put Zenn-La and several other massive planets in his mind. Moondragon used her mental powers to persuade the Great One to release all of the planets he had captured.

The members of the Infinity Watch finally agreed to work together after the Man Beast tried to pit the team members against one another.

This cooperation was later broken up by the Goddess, who gathered heroes from around the universe via mind control in an attempt to join her cause during the Infinity Crusade.

The Goddess appointed Moondragon to High Priestess of the Holy Guard. Moondragon was later freed of the Goddess’ control and was upset at the concept of being manipulated and controlled by another being.
