Each of them possesses unique abilities and a past that makes them both unpredictable and powerful. Determined to give them a second chance, Quill believes they may be the only ones capable of stopping a conflict that could devastate entire galaxies. Forming an uneasy alliance with the Nova Corps, he brings together a diverse group that includes Gamora, Drax, Moondragon, Cosmo, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Martyr, Mantis, and Adam Warlock.

notable missions

• On a coordinated strike across the universe, Gamora and Drax the Destroyer pursued the Blood Brothers, whose assaults had disrupted multiple outposts. The mission quickly became personal, forcing both to confront their shared past under thanos.

• On a classified operation near Counter-Earth, Rocket Raccoon pursued vengeance against his creator, the High Evolutionary. However, the mission took a turn when he was intercepted by Blackjack O'Hare, deployed specifically to prevent an assassination. 

• In the psychic dead zones orbiting Knowhere, Mantis confronted Xemnu, whose obscure yet overwhelming psionic broadcasts had begun enslaving distant populations through hypnotic influence.

• Obirting deep space relay routes, Cosmo the Spacedog uncovered a covert network led by Korvac remnants, dismantling their psionic communication grid before it could evolve into a new cosmic threat.

• During a refugee escort mission, Martyr protected Kree and Skrull survivors from a strike led by followers of Deathurge, holding the line until reinforcements arrived. Keeping both groups safe while trying to prevent them from clashing over their ideologies was the real challenge.

• In a decaying biosphere, Groot restored life to a corrupted world infected by remnants of Furnax forces, sacrificing parts of himself to cleanse the infestation. But with Moondragon and Mantis's help, they manage to reconnect with the dormant local flora so that they can regain control of their world.

• The Guardians of the Galaxy are sent to Sakaar in search of the criminal Nebula, one of the most wanted fugitives since the First Galactic War. Gamora leads the team because she knew her sister’s passion for gambling; Nebula was also a fan of gladiatorial combat, which was so popular on that planet. Moreover, there was no way she could miss the debut of the new gladiator who promised to restore the balance of power in the competition—a green, radioactive giant who shone in the eyes of the Red King, his owner.

• Upon locating Nebula, the Guardians discovered she was not alone, now accompanied by the Graces, the former group of female bandits led by Gamora. They escape with ease thanks to the power of the renegade Shiar princess, Deathbird, and the deceptive skills of the pixie Skreet.

• At the Edge of a Fractured reality, Adam Warlock endured a psychic assault that gave rise to Magus, his dark counterpart, forcing him into a battle across shifting realities to contain the entity within himself. But Adam has no idea that this is exactly what the Universal Church of Truth wanted him to do; now that they have their own corrupt version of the man they once considered their savior and martyr, everything is going to be different from now on.
