!!The ''Marvel Presents'' Guardians of the Galaxy stories contain examples of the following tropes:
* LeaveNoSurvivors: The remaining Badoon surrender at the start of the first issue, but some of Earth's liberators intend to kill them all anyway. Starhawk intervenes to save the prisoners.
-->'''Resistance fighter:''' Lead 'em to the square. We'll ''kill'' 'em one by one...! ''Maim'' 'em, I say! An eye here, an arm there... like they did to ''us''!
