Top Ten Best Guardians of the Galaxy Characters
This acts as both a list for the best characters in the 2014 film (and any future installments) as well as characters from the comics or any other media form.
Rocket Raccoon is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Bill Mantlo and artist Keith Giffen, the character first appeared in Marvel Preview #7. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is voiced by Bradley Cooper and appears as a key member... read more This is the obvious choice out of all the characters in this movie. Not only is he funny and adorable, but he's also very cool, skilled in technology and fighting, and has so much potential for character development! When he talked about being taken apart and put together again while drunk and attacking Gamora, I knew he had a traumatizing past. This opened up an opportunity for great character development. Good job, Rocket!
I just love his character design in every way. Physically and personality-wise, he's really interesting and relatable. He is undeniably a brilliant character altogether. He is arguably more individual than most human characters in today's media, but he also provides plenty of comedy through his lines and delivery. Not to mention he's a total badass. Rocket is awesome.
Groot is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Larry Lieber, and Dick Ayers, the character first appeared in Tales to Astonish #13. An extraterrestrial, sentient tree-like creature, Groot was initially introduced as an invader... read more He only says one or two words, but actions speak louder. A wonderful character.
I love Groot. He is awesome, and he should be first.
It really says a lot about a character when they only say five words and still become a fan favorite.
Star-Lord is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character, created by Steve Englehart and Steve Gan, first appeared in Marvel Preview #4... read more Hey, everyone, I am Star-Lord. I am not going to fight you, but I will dance-fight you!
Gamora, will you marry me? I think you're cute and sexy.
Team, I am totally not trying to kiss Gamora, and she's not letting me do it.
Now, let's have a lot of fun and listen to some really cool 1980s music. Bye, family!
P.S.: Do you think Thor is lying about being good?
If he didn't dance, there wouldn't be any planets left in the universe by now.
Drax the Destroyer is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in The Invincible Iron Man #55 in 1973. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is portrayed by Dave Bautista.
Gamora is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Jim Starlin, the character first appeared in Strange Tales #180. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she is portrayed by Zoe Saldaña in multiple films, including Guardians of the Galaxy (2014), Guardians... read more How is Gamora in 5th place? She is obviously the best Guardian of the Galaxy because she's so cool, original, and interesting. How is Rocket Raccoon first? He's the weakest Guardian, to be honest. Nebula beat him in Vol. 2, and Gamora beat Nebula, so she's more powerful. Gamora forever.
Why is she so low, though? The only female who's a Guardian, and she's so cool. This list confuses me. Why is Rocket Raccoon so high? This is my top 5:
5. Star-Lord
4. Nebula
3. Drax
2. Groot
1. Gamora
Um, no. Gamora should be #1. How could Rocket Raccoon beat her? She can beat anyone in a fight, and she's very powerful.
Nebula is a fictional character appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. She is depicted as a space pirate and assassin, often associated with the villain Thanos. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, she is portrayed by Karen Gillan and undergoes significant character development across the... read more
Thanos is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by Jim Starlin and Mike Friedrich. The character first appeared in Iron Man #55 and has been portrayed by actors Damion Poitier and Josh Brolin in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. A dude who sits on his butt all day, but is still feared like the fires of hell.
He's the strongest of all! He can single-handedly battle the whole Marvel universe. He has the Infinity Gauntlet with the stones, so powerful!
Yondu Udonta, or simply Yondu, is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is portrayed by Michael Rooker. Yondu is a blue-skinned alien and leader of a group of space pirates known as the Ravagers. While there were hardly any boring characters in GOTG 1 and 2, Yondu was, without a doubt, the funniest and most charismatic individual. He would crack me up or pull emotions out of me at the most unexpected moments.
Yondu Udonta:
"He may have been your father, boy, but he wasn't your daddy."
In the second movie, he is so sweet with the others, and he died to save Peter.
Ha! They put Merle from The Walking Dead in there! He was amazing!
Ronan the Accuser is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby and made his first appearance in Fantastic Four #65 in August 1967. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he is portrayed by Lee Pace, appearing... read more I place all of Thanos' crew above the heroes personally, and Ronan is no exception. I also favored Proxima Midnight, Cull Obsidian, Corvus Glaive, and Ebony Maw in Avengers 3. They are all the types of characters I love most, appearing onscreen only when necessary without eating up airtime or needing development. Instead, they kick major tail and get beaten beautifully and climactically, making me love them even more. All of Thanos' crew for the win.
