these cosmic misfits always get the job
done although not always in the most
graceful way we get hit by a laser beam
more like dozens of laser beams welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
facts about the guardians of the galaxy
so what are we heroes or allies why
can’t we be both for this list we’ll be
focusing more on facts about the
Guardians surrounding both the comic
books and film franchises hey you know
what there’s another name you might know
me by star-lord who star-lord man
legendary outlaw number 10 it took 21
years for the Guardians to get their own
comic book
yeah the guardians weren’t exactly
overnight sensations they’d first pop up
in a 1969 issue of Marvel superheroes
this was a comic that was kind of a
tryout for new series if there was a big
reader response something that was tried
out here would get its own comic you’re
alive causing me I will find you I wanna
put a bounty on if they didn’t well they
ended up like the Guardians did drifting
around from one Marvel comic to another
until they found their niche or
disappeared
finally in 1990 the gang finally
received their own self-titled comic it
had a healthy 62 issue run before being
cancelled in 1995 after that though not
a lot of action for another decade or so
you kill me now
you are saying goodbye to the biggest
score you have ever seen number nine
they weren’t part of the main Marvel
Universe until 2008 ah by the spires of
a Scott the guardians of the galaxy so
like any good superhero publisher Marvel
has lots of different universes with
alternate pasts presents and future’s
earth-616 is one the house is the
official Marvel Universe
if something happens that later doesn’t
fit the continuity it’s said to have
happened in another one of the universes
pretty convenient ah that’s the case
with the guardians their adventures from
1969 up until their revival in 2008 were
determined to have happened in the
timeline belonging to earth 691 until of
course they were finally allowed to join
the main 616 universe era one from each
team I think we already did me and you
don’t get in my way
number eight none of the guardians in
the movie were in the original comic
book team Gamora surgically modified and
trained as a living weapon you adopt the
daughter of the mad Titan Thanos who the
ORS who fell in love with the wacky
Peter quill verbally challenged Groot
and the rest of the guardians crew are
in for a shock if they go back to the
original 1969 game none of the movies
guardians were part of the first story
or any of those guardians stories for
quite a few years based in the 31st
century the first team of guardians were
led by an earthling named major bats
Astro his partners were March next Naga
a being whose body was made of crystal
captain Charlie 27 of Jupiter and a blue
skinned dude who we’ll get to later on
none of them made it onto the big screen
but they’re still fun to hang out with
if you’re ever in the 31st century what
a bunch of a-holes transpose all four to
the kill number seven they were the
rebels of the 31st century the record I
advised against trustingly
they got my dick message prove me the
Marvel Universe is a pretty contentious
place even in the present with hostile
races like the Kree scrolls and all
sorts of aliens fighting across numerous
galaxies by the 31st century the
reptilians known as the but do nor
making major inroads into controlling
well just about everything when the
Guardians first get together it’s with
the intention of taking on the Badoon
making them kind of like the rebel
forces of Star Wars then man your ships
and may the force be with you and just
like those rebels the guardians may be
small in number ridiculously small
really but they could still kick evils
ass around the block a few times
especially when other Marvel heroes step
in to help of course
I hope our teams cross paths again no
doubt though I’m still not sure about
your tactics number six
yondu was one of the original guardians
ah so none of the original guardians
were a guardian in the movie but one of
the made an appearance in a different
function in the film Peter quill was
kidnapped as a young boy by yondu an
alien from Alpha Centauri
on screen yondu led a band of Ravagers a
gang of intergalactic pirates and he
more or less treated Peter as his
adopted son at least until Peter crossed
him of course but in the comics
yondu was one of the four original
guardians of the galaxy the rest of
yondu species were destroyed by the
power-hungry Badoon which gave you onto
a good reason to join with the original
guardians and bring them down number 5
rocket originally had a British accent
military technical genius needs military
scrilla you do the math Rocket Raccoon
has been popular both in comics and in
the movie but there are some big
differences between how he’s portrayed
in each medium for example in the comics
rocket was originally one of many
intelligent animals taking care of a
planet full of mental patients he was
their security officer of course that
makes sense but more importantly rocket
in the pages didn’t have the same
distinctive snarly voice pattern that
Bradley Cooper gave him in the movie
let’s make something clear
this one is our booty you want to get
there you go through up new rockets
dialog was originally British and even
cockney in some instances well you know
since he was named after a character in
a Beatles song it makes sense
sorta let’s go to half world and have
somebody experimental new for a change
number four Groot used to be a villain
the tree like Hiro Groot was the
breakout character of the 2014 movie
despite his somewhat limited dialogue
which Vin Diesel claims he recorded over
a thousand times but in the original
comic Groot originally had a much more
expansive vocabulary and new trouble
with expressing himself his origin
precedes any of the original Guardians
going all the way back to 1960 and in
that story Groot wasn’t a friendly
lunkhead he was an alien being who came
to earth to capture humans why well to
study them so he could figure out how to
conquer earth what else
we’re glad he had a change of heart
somewhere along the way though
get out of here number three the dog in
the astronaut suit in the movie was
technically a guardian when the
guardians were rebooted in 2008 it
introduced the heroes that would
comprise the team in the film version
later on the comic introduced a cosmic
telepathic dog named Cosmo who has a
sometimes contentious relationship with
rocket don’t ask wait what if I run it
for Bo Fido unless you want to get
housebroken
in the comics Cosmo tends to hang out on
nowhere with a K the giant disembodied
head that serves as the Guardian space
in the movie nowhere is the base for the
collectors operations again in the
comics Cosmo handles security for the
Guardians and he does a pretty good job
cuz he’s a good boy in the first movie
he makes a couple of cameo appearances
as the dog in the spacesuit who’s been
captured by the collector and why Howard
the Duck dislikes him is anyone’s guess
what do you let it linkie like that for
growth number two Drax was originally a
real estate agent with a saxophone you
wouldn’t know it by looking at him but
the mighty Drax the destroyer originally
was a humble little earthling named
Arthur Douglas a real estate agent with
a fondness for the saxophone Douglas had
the misfortune of being in the wrong
place at the wrong time
the evil Thanos snuck onto earth and
thinking Douglas had seen him kill him
but Thanos his father thinking his son
really needed to be taught a lesson
grabbed Arthur’s spirit and put it in a
new body he was renamed Drax the
destroyer and given the mission to hunt
down Thanos and totally well you know
destroy him
number one Peter quill may have been
conceived without sex
your daddy knew even though thank you
when star-lord burst onto the scene in
1976 his origin story drew a parallel
between his birth and that of Jesus
Christ in the first two pages writer
Steve Englehart proposed that the
planets of the solar system all lined up
in a special way on the day that Jesus
was born and guess what they lined up in
exactly the same way when Peter quill
was born now quills mother wasn’t
exactly a virgin but the story implies
that Peters conception was due to the
planets alignment not any human
involvement in later versions Peters
father turned out to be an alien but in
the beginning it was much more mystical
in nature hey Dad don’t get mad but I
think I might have started a teeny
little or so do you agree with our
choices what other cool facts about the
universe spanning guardians of the
galaxy should we have included a
technically cosmonaut talk communicated
telepathically form or in throttling top
