Everybody ’s A-one - excited about Marvel ’s Guardians of the Galaxy , and justifiably so , but there ’s one trouble : if you ’re only watching the moving picture , you ’re not get the verity . The Guardians — the grouping and the member — have a far weirder history than the movie will receipt , and here ’s the substantiation .
1 ) None of the Guardians in the motion-picture show were on the original squad .
Sorry , but neither Star - Lord , Rocket Raccoon , Groot , Gamora nor Drax the Destroyer had anything to do with the squad when the Guardians made their first appearance back in Marvel Super Heroes # 18 in 1969 . The original line - up consisted of a 20th hundred spaceman fortuitously named Vance Astro , a crystalline extraterrestrial named Martinex , a human aliveness on Jupiter identify Charlie-27 , and a blue alien named Yondu from Alpha Centauri . Yondu will be in the GotG movie , play by Michael Rooker as a form of mentor to Peter Quill , a.k.a . Star - Lord .
2 ) They were the Rebels of the 31st one C .
The Guardians were really formed to fight an alien race predict the Badoon , which had taken over most of the galaxy in 3007 A.D. , and had destroyed a significant dowry of the humans throughout the galaxy . They ’d occasionally call heroes like Captain America to the hereafter to lend them a hired hand , or even travel back to the twentieth 100 to get information about an earlier fail Badoon invasion and whole plenty with the clip - origin ( for instance , twentieth century astronaut Vance Astro encounter his younger self , awakening his world power betimes , and basically leading to him becoming an totally different superhero ) .
3 ) It film them 21 years to get their own comic .
Despite first express up in 1969 , the first official Guardians of the Galaxy comic was n’t release until 1990 . It ran for 62 issues before being cancel ; the second GotG comic serial publication , with a line - up much closer to that of the movie and operate in the 21st century instead of the far future , debut in 2008 . The Guardians were n’t even part of the official Marvel universe until this 2nd series ; the earlier embodiment of the GotG live in a potential time to come titled Earth-691 , as pit to the primary Marvel universe , numbered 616 .
4 ) Star - Lord was primitively immaculately conceived .
Peter Quill ’s female parent Meredith was impregnated when the planet of the solar system align in a particularly aphrodisiacal way . Now , Meredith was married , but this guy flush it to see his resemblance in the quad baby and adopt his wife had cheated on him . He did not take this well , and attempt to kill sister Peter , failing only because he had a heart flak at the last minute . Marvel retconned this before too long , because it ’s somewhat messed - up . rather , Meredith got knocked up by a humanoid foreigner named J’son from Spartoi , who leaves because his people are in a war with another foreign race , and because it ’s too life-threatening to take his raw family . Thus he becomes an intergalactic defaulter pa , leaving nothing behind for his Logos but his element gun .
5 ) Rocket Raccoon was animate by the Beatles song “ Rocky Raccoon . ”
And I do n’t stand for a trivial bit . I mean he was created by Bill Mantlo and Keit Giffen in 1976 for a random story in Marvel Preview , but he made his official Marvel amusing existence debut in 1982 , in an issue of The Incredible Hulk ( # 271 ) written by Mantlo . This comedian was titled “ ” Now Somewhere In the Black Holes of Sirius Major There Lived a Young Boy Named Rocket Raccoon ” where Hulk and Rocket ( and Rocket ’s pal Wal Russ ) prove to block a baddie from slip “ Gideon ’s Bible . ” If you know the lyrics to the Beatles Song dynasty , you know this is idiotic .
6 ) Rocket ’s first line was in an insane asylum .
Without spoiling Rocket ’s origin in the film , we can safely say it ’s not the same as his comic beginning , in which he was one of several animal who were caretaker of a astronomical insane asylum . See , aliens set up an entire earth to domiciliate the insane for study , but eventually it lost funding and the noncitizen who set it up bequeath robots to take charge of everybody . The robots feel the patient needed skilful fellow traveler , and genetically modified the utterly normal Earth animals the aliens had also leave behind ( I have no idea how they got them ) . Then things got weird : the golem start out making toys , an evil mole named Jakes had scientists make Killer Clowns , Rocket ’s otter lady friend Lylla was snatch , and the aforementioned nonsense with Gideon ’s Bible went down . Eventually the insane patients were cured and Rocket have the perdition of the planet to explore the universe .
7 ) Groot could originally address .
And what he originally spoke was threats against the human raceway , because he was one of those crazy aliens that would arrest by Earth in the ’ 60s to muss with it . Groot first arrived on Earth in Tales to Astonish # 13 , yelling that he was the monarch of Planet X , and that he was pass to take a small Ithiel Town back to his domicile major planet to study ( like you do ) . He turned a nearby forest into his personal army with a plan of somehow using them to revoke the town into space , but a human scientist name Dr. Leslie Evans purloin up behind Groot , miss a plenty of peculiarly cover termites on him , and that was all she wrote . Well , until Groot was rebooted in 2006 into the “ I am Groot”-exclaiming alien we all know and love .
- Gamora and Iron Man totally did it .
Like , recently . Last yr , in fact , when Iron Man was one of the Guardians for a bit . Just throwing that out there .
9 ) Thanos dedicate Gamora Christmas present .
Despite being the biggest , baddest villain in the entire Marvel existence , a guy who occasionally dates the personification of death , and has killed one-half of the entire universe on more than one function , it turns out Thanos was quite the family world . Sure , he stole Gamora at an other eld and raise her to be his personal assassin , but while she was growing up , they celebrated Christmas . Although they were both extraterrestrial being who presumably never heard of Jesus . Also Thanos somehow manage to get a Christmas tree diagram . This is as absurd as if Darth Vader cede Christmas presents to little Luke and Leia on a spaceship - sled .
10 ) Drax the Destroyer was primitively a real estate of the realm agent .
In fact , his original name was Arthur Douglas , the Saxophone - Playing Real Estate Agent , who had the ill luck of circumstantially spotting Thanos while he was on a recon delegation on Earth . see he ’d been discover , Thanos destroyed the car , kill Douglas . But Thanos ’ father Mentor , feeling this hit and run was efficaciously the last straw for his malign progeny , imbued the heart of Douglas in a clay body with the sole commission : Kill Thanos . Drax has died , many , many times in his comics life history , and yet has only manage to kill Thanos once , and obviously it did n’t take . Whether or not the film Drax still has a mission to defeat Thanos , I promise you he ’s 100 % an alien now , and no real estate will be sold or saxophones play .
11 ) Ronan the Accuser is n’t that evil .
Although Ronan will be the independent scoundrel in the Guardians of the Galaxy movie , and he ’s been a scoundrel for most of his clock time in the Marvel universe , he ’s not entirely a regretful guy wire . In the comic , he ’s the Supreme Accuser of the foreign Kree Empire , which stool him third - in - command of the entire raceway , and since the Kree rather enjoy war and conquest , he does a act of invading , but he ’s not just outright evilness like , say , Thanos . In fact , as lately as 2007 , Ronan had hired Star - Lord as his military adviser , and Star - Lord accepted . Of course , Star - Lord accidentally have the Borg - like Phalanx take over the entire Kree Empire through a techno - computer virus , but hey , they were friendly for a footling while .
12 ) Thanos ’ buddy is a sexuality offender .
While Thanos ’ daughter Nebula has a major role in the moving picture , there ’s no way Thanos ’ brother ( and Nebula ’s uncle ) Starfox is going to be making an appearance because his very existence makes Thanos look ridiculous , because he ’s kind of a skunk — all the while Thanos is trying to destroy the universe , Starfox is dicking around count for dates . It makes Thanos look far less telling knowing that he ’s pal with a cat who shares a name with a Nintendo character . But the bigger trouble is that Starfox ’s super - power is a pheromone which shit people sense pleasure and attracted to him , which is the violation - one super - power in the account of comedian . Hell , even Marvel recognise how mess up Starfox was when he was sued for that very crime in Dan Slott ’s She - Hulk . So yeah , do n’t expect Starfox to make his cinematic universe launching anytime presently .
