Founding Members
Major Victory (Vance Astro)
The leader and founder of the Guardians of the Galaxy in the year 3007. He is the future version of Justice of New Warriors fame, and carries the legendary shield of Captain America. note
- Abusive Dad: His dad was an abusive dick, and unlike his Earth-616 counterpart, Vance never stood up to him.
- All for Nothing: Vance volunteered for an experimental mission to Alpha Centauri, knowing full well it would take a thousand years. Over those thousand years he was sufficiently traumatized by the loneliness for his mutant powers to activate. On arrival at Alpha Centauri, it turned out mankind had beaten him there by sixty-six years thanks to technological advancements. Oops. And then the Badoon rolled through and nearly wiped out mankind altogether.
- Amnesia Missed a Spot: In Vol. 2, while pretty much all of his personal memories are gone, his fighting skills are still there, and he remembers the Badoon and their handiwork all too well.
- Ascended Fanboy: Was a big fan of Captain America.
- Awesome McCoolname: C'mon, Vance Astro? (His birth name is Astrovik. 3000 explains he changed it a: because of his abusive dad, and b: because it sounds cooler.)
- Brutal Honesty: Vol 2. Major accidentally told Bug why most of the modern-day Guardians quit, which Rocket had been meaning to ease him into.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: The modern-day Major vanished after The Thanos Imperative, and hasn't been seen since.
- Clingy Costume: As an astronaut in an experimental sublight journey to Alpha Centauri, he was put inside a copper-lined uniform to survive a thousand-year space journey. If it is ever pierced in any way, he will suddenly age a thousand years (and then die). At one point in the nineties series, he actually manages to take it off. For a while, at least.
- Compressed Hair: As the 90s series shows, there's a lot of hair under that uniform of his. You'd never know.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Had this attitude about being stuck in his suit. He eventually moved beyond it.
- Expy: In Vol 2, his story — military man with a shield found frozen in a block of ice who has to adjust to being in a different time — greatly resembles that of Steve Rogers himself. Star–Lord and Rocket Raccoon even comment on the similarity.
- Fake Defector: When caught by Warlord Drang, he pretended he'd side with the Badoon just long enough to give Yondu his weapons back.
- Fish out of Temporal Water: By a thousand years. His vol 2 version takes this in an odd way, a man from a thousand years into the future sent back.
- Flat-Earth Atheist: Despite being from the age of superheroes, when people like Doctor Strange acted openly, Major Victory is very dismissive of the idea of magic and spiritualism.
- Flight: His suit contains integrated jet thrusters, letting him propel himself through the air.
- Future Badass: He's a badass space adventurer who hails from centuries in the past.
- Human Popsicle: On and off for a thousand years.
- Jerkass: Early days Vance could be, put bluntly, a dick, with a tendency towards insults towards everyone, or going into tantrums. Admittedly, finding you gave up your whole life and then seeing your entire species wiped out would make anyone bad-tempered, but it doesn't make the situation any better when he lashes out at his comrades.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: A version of him shows up in Vol 2, with a lot of his memories missing, and the feeling he came back to prevent something.
- Laughing Mad: Finding out that mankind had beaten him to Alpha Centauri caused Vance to have a manic breakdown.
- Legacy Character: Major Victory for Captain America, amongst others.
- Lightning Bruiser: Early on. Military training and psychokinetic powers aren't much good when you're in a foil suit, which aren't exactly known for durability. Fortunately, when the Guardians found a secret Mutant city, he was able to upgrade to more durable wear.
- Living Legend: Vance is quite surprised to find a party waiting for him when he reaches Alpha Centauri. Even in the thousand years he was gone, mankind managed to remember him. Even the Badoon were impressed by him.
- Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me: Eventually finds and uses Captain America’s shield.
- Military Superhero: Before his long space journey, Vance was an astronaut and served in the U.S. Air Force.
- Mind over Matter: He's primarily a telekinetic.
- Mood-Swinger: At times, Vance could go through some extreme manic phases brought on by the angst of being a thousand years out of time and stuck in his suit. And since the Guardians wander around space, There Are No Therapists.
- Mutant: Though his powers didn't activate 'till adult-hood.
Fridge Horror ensues, because most Mutant powers activate after extreme trauma, and Vance's childhood definitely counted as traumatic. - Never the Selves Shall Meet: Vance actually did meet his younger self, helping to make sure he'd develop his mutant powers early, and never go through the hellish experiences Vance did. But usually, when the Guardians went to the past, they'd take steps to make sure Vance stayed away, since their psychic powers don't react well to one another.
- '90s Hair: Once he's out of his costume, he has a truly impressive mullet.
- Older and Wiser: Than his mainstream counterpart Vance Astrovik (Justice of the New Warriors).
- Politically Incorrect Hero: As written by Steve Gerber, he throws a lot of casually racist remarks toward Yondu.
- Riddle for the Ages: It's not clear how the Major in vol. 2 wound up in the modern day. Or how a chunk of Avenger's Mansion got thrown through time and space, before being frozen in Limbo Ice. It's discussed in the very last issue, and the future Guardians decide it doesn't matter any which way.
- Set Right What Once Went Wrong: One of the few things the vol.2 version of the Major recalls is that he came back in time to prevent a great disaster happening. By all evidence, he messed up bad on that front.
- Sleeves Are for Wimps: His second outfit in Vol. 1 is based on Captain America's outfit, but without the sleeves.
- Timey-Wimey Ball: Because the Guardians of the Galaxy are honorary Avengers, Vance is the only member of the Avengers to be on the roster twice as the same person. And again in Vol 2.
- Took a Level in Dumbass: Vance in Guardians 3000 is much less intelligent and far more temperamental than before.
Charlie- 27
Co-Founder of the Guardians of the Galaxy, he is the last survivor of a race genetically engineered to live on Jupiter.
- Ace Pilot: Because he's a member of a space-age military force, Charlie's actually a very talented pilot.
- Big Brother Instinct: The minute Nikki shows up, Charlie becomes very protective of her.
- The Big Guy: Charlie's the physically largest and strongest member of the team.
- Brawn Hilda: The final issue of Vol 2 gives a glimpse of a gender-bent Charlie, who still has the same build as regular Charlie.
- Deadpan Snarker: Gets very snarky when Starhawk goes on his "one-who-knows" shtick.
- Decoy Protagonist: The first ever Guardians story begins with Charlie, and he's the main POV character, but after that most stories tend to focus on Major Victory as the "main" character.
- Early Instalment Character Design Difference: In Super-Heroes #16, Charlie has more exaggerated features. From his second appearance onward, he's still large, but with more normal proportions.
- Heavyworlder: Due to being a genetically engineered Jovian who lived on floating gas-mining city on Jupiter. Unlike many examples, he's not at all short, though at a listed height of 6'0" he's only a little taller than the average adult human male.
- Last of His Kind: Charlie is one of the few humans left after the Badoon invasion.
- Late to the Tragedy: He missed the Badoon invasion by a whole two months.
- Mighty Glacier: Averted, actually. Despite his large size, Charlie's surprisingly fast.
- Military Superhero: Much like Vance, Charlie was in the military. It's why the Badoon didn't find and kill him, because he was off-world at the time.
- Sleeves Are for Wimps: Most of the time, Charlie's outfits tend to eschew sleeves of any kind. Sometimes he goes all the way up to Walking Shirtless Scene.
- Super-Strength: It's basically the standard powerset for any character in comics who hails from a high-gravity world.
- Super-Toughness: As with any comic book Heavyworlder, he's much, much tougher than a normal human. This is often demonstrated by people trying to stab him, and the blade effortlessly breaking on his skin.
- Take This Job and Shove It: After the Badoon were got rid of, Charlie took a construction worker's job. The foreman continually harassed him out of Fantastic Racism, so Charlie eventually wrapped him up in girders and walked off (and judging by the looks on all the other workers's faces, no-one was in any hurry to help the foreman).
- Transhuman: Like Martinex, he's a member of a human off-shoot species that genetically modified itself to survive the hostile conditions of another planet.
- Would Hit a Girl: If she's trying to kill him, yeah.
- You Are Number 6: Jovian tradition is to have a name, then number. His dad was Charlie-26.
- You Killed My Father: Admittedly, the Badoon killed everyone he knew, loved and worked with, but they also enslaved Charlie's dad and put him to work in mines so lethal they'd kill in months. While Marvel Super-Heroes #18 has Charlie vowing to save him before it's too late, later stories show he never managed it.
Martinex T'Naga
Martinex T'Naga
Sole survivor of his race, Martinex is genetically capable of withstanding extreme conditions due to the environment of his home planet Pluto and can shoot heat rays from his right hand and ice beams from his left. Meeting other survivors who also had their homes destroyed by the evil alien race of Badoon, Martinex helped form the Guardians of the Galaxy in the 31st century to defeat them and continued on to create a larger group known as the Galactic Guardians.
- An Ice Person: Shoots ice from his left hand.
- Crystalline Creature: He's a humanoid being entirely made out of crystal.
- Exposed Extraterrestrials: He's a crystalline transhuman from the planet Pluto. His body is composed entirely of crystal, and he never wears clothes.
- Genius Bruiser: He possesses enhanced strength, speed, and stamina as well as having earned doctorates in physics and engineering.
- Last of His Kind: Same as Charlie, Marty's the last of his people. Possibly in a crueller way, since Super-Heroes #16 stated Martinex had managed to help get some survivors to safety, but by his next appearance Martinex is the last Plutonian anywhere.
- Playing with Fire: He can shoot fire from his right hand.
- Power Incontinence: Guardians 3000 Marty has some trouble controlling his powers. Never ask him to hold a cup of coffee for you.
- Silicon-Based Life: His body is basically entirely composed of silicon, as with all other Pluvians.
- The Smart Guy: He's basically the science expert of the original Guardians.
- The Spock: Especially early on in the Guardians adventures, Marty is very Literal-Minded, constantly being confused by the pop-culture references and quips Vance keeps dropping, and getting confused when people call him "Marty" because it's not his name. He did gradually grow out of this.
- Straw Vulcan: Sometimes, as written by Steve Gerber, such as in one instance he claims his mind is "too logical" to appreciate beauty.
- Suddenly Ethnicity: With the revelation that his ancestors were black Africans.
- Super-Toughness: Being made of diamond-like crystal means he can take a serious beating.
- Transhuman: He's a descendant of humans who deliberately engineered themselves into crystal-based creatures in order to survive the conditions on Pluto.
Yondu Udonta
A hunter from the first planet ever colonized outside of the Solar System who was a founding member of the Guardians of the Galaxy from the 31st century.
- Artificial Limbs: Had a robotic right hand after Interface from Force uses his power to transmute matter to turn Yondu's hand to gas. The Guardians do restore his regular hand however.
- Character Witness: During a team-up with Thor, Charlie and Martinex are initially dubious about this guy they've found who claims to be a god, even when Vance is trying to tell them he's bonafide. It takes Yondu bowing down in reverential awe (because he can sense Thor's a god) to convince them he's on the level.
- The Empath: Has a limited mystical perception that allows him to have relationships with living things.
- Heroic Sacrifice: Throws himself in front of a gun to save the life of his ancestor, Yondu the Ravager, knowing that Yondu-616 has to live for him to ever be born. His dying words do inspire his ancestor to be a better person and stop running from himself.
- Last of His Kind: He thought he was, for a long time.
- Nature Hero: His empathic powers works on any world with wildlife.
- Noble Savage: His original characterization, though aspects of "Yondu-as-savage" remained to some extent in his 70s appearances and beyond.
- Only You Can Repopulate My Race: Eventually, Yondu finds another Alpha Centaurian who survived the Badoon attacks, and declares this means they must do what they can to restore their people. Said Alpha Centaurian is not remotely taken with this, especially since she despised her people.
- Other Me Annoys Me: In the 2019 Yondu miniseries, he travels back in time to the 21st century and encounters his ancestor of the same name; unfortunately, he is left aghast by 616-Yondu's greed, selfishness, and disdain for Centaurian traditions and spirituality, while 616-Yondu is annoyed by his descendant's naive idealism and spiritual mumbo-jumbo.
- Ship Tease: During a team-up between the old and new Guardians in vol. 2, he quickly develops a crush on Mantis, which she reciprocates. Dying soon after puts the kibosh on anything happening.
- Space Jews: His people, especially his particular tribe, are Space Native Americans.
- Red Is Heroic: Commonly wears red.
- The Straight and Arrow Path: Despite being an alien who runs around in a setting full of missile launchers, laser blasters and other, more exotic guns, he uses a teched-up arrow to help emphasize his status as a good guy.
- Take Up My Sword: When he leaves to travel to the past (the Earth-616 present), Yondu tells his son that their tribe is now his responsibility. And after his death, his ancestor takes up his yaka arrow in an attempt to honor his legacy.
- Trick Arrow: His sound-sensitive arrows that he can control by whistling.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: A lot of his outfits tend to eschew covering some or all of his chest. His earliest outfit was literally nothing more than a pair of underpants.
- You No Take Candle: He originally spoke like this, but it stopped from his second appearance.
Additional Members
Starhawk (Stakar Ogord and Aleta Ogord)/ Aleta Ogord
Stakar Ogord
Aleta Ogord
The one who knows, and the son of Wendell Vaughn. And his adopted sister, with whom he frequently switches places. Aleta Ogord was an Arcturan alien raised by her father, Ogord.
- Abusive Dad: Daddy Ogord, who tried to raise Aleta to be a brutal warrior. He's also directly responsible for the deaths of his grandchildren.
- Action Mom: Aleta had three children with Starhawk. Emphasis on "had". She's never forgiven Stakar for their deaths.
- Aloof Ally: Even when he's on the team, Starhawk has a tendency to be vague, suddenly make demands of the team, or depart without any explanation.
- Berserk Button: Stakar prides himself on being "The One Who Knows", and during Gerber's run got pretty tetchy if people questioned that. As in, "threatens to kill Vance" tetchy.
- Catchphrase: Starhawk is in fact the one who knows.
- Characterization Marches On: Aleta's first appearances paint her as even more enigmatic than Starhawk, and utterly silent. Once she appears to the team in the flesh, this starts to change.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Aleta is almost entirely absent from 3000, aside from Nikki briefly mistaking a gender-bent Stakar for her, and a one-panel appearance in the final issue.
- Combat Stilettos: Aleta's second outfit.
- Didn't See That Coming: On occasion, things will happen that Stakar didn't know about or remember happening.
- Flying Brick: Stakar, but only when he was fused with Aleta, since he had to borrow her powers to fight. Otherwise he was Fragile Speedster.
- The Friend No One Likes: Stakar might be the most powerful member of the team, and the One Who Knows, but most of the others are pretty clear they don't like him very much, due to his enigmatic behaviour.
- Fusion Dance: One day when they were kids, Stakar went wandering in the ruined city of Arcturus. Aleta went after him, and found him tinkering with some ancient tech. Annoyed, she threw it on the ground, which accidentally activated it, dissolving her body into particles of light and depositing it in a nearby statue of the Arcturan Hawk-God. The sheer power drove Aleta slightly mad, and she went on a rampage. Trying to stop her, Stakar wound up fusing with her.
- Gender Bender: When Starhawk appeared in the modern Guardians, he was a she. This was because time was falling apart at the seams. And again in Guardians 3000. She's perturbed by it.
- Gendered Outfit: Aleta's original costume was basically a swim-suit version of Stakar's.
- Half-Human Hybrid: Starhawk is the son of Quasar and Her, making him half human, half orange-skinned Artificial Being.
- Human Aliens: Aleta is an Arcturian, who look exactly like humans. The only difference is they age much slower.
- I Am the Noun: "The One Who Knows", as well as "The Light and the Bringer of the Light."
- I Just Knew: Advised the Guardians on what course of action to take. This wasn’t a superpower, it was Stakar stuck in a time loop where he always relives his life from infancy, knowing what to do from experience.
- Light 'em Up: Both of them, albeit in different ways. Stakar can use his powers to, on occasion, heal people.
- Most Common Superpower: Aleta is generously endowed.
- Mr. Exposition: Being the one who knows, Starhawk usually explains things to everyone. Becomes Mrs. Exposition in Volume 2, during the aforementioned Gender Bender.
- Ms. Fanservice: Aleta's first outfit was a swimsuit. After the 90s, she switches to a skintight number that shows off her cleavage.
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Aleta is one of the few members of her species not on-board with the idea of going around murdering everyone they meet, thanks to growing up alongside Stakar.
- Navel-Deep Neckline: Aleta's second outfit has a plunging neckline that goes past her navel.
- Not Blood Siblings: Stakar and Aleta are adopted sibings.
- Not So Omniscient After All: As Stakar explains to Marty, while he does have memories of what has happened, it's not infallible, due to variables in the timeline which he can't predict. Also, his memory can be erased, which can also throw him for a loop.
- Not So Stoic: Stakar actually starts crying when he and Aeleta argue about their children.
- Older Than They Look: They're both about a thousand years old.
- Poor Communication Kills: For being "the one who knows", Stakar doesn't really make any effort to explain herself in Vol 2, just attacking the Guardians rather than perhaps telling them what the problem is. By the time anyone starts listening, it's too late.
- Primary-Color Champion: Stakar's costume is blue and yellow, while Aleta's third costume is mostly red.
- Secret Public Identity: After Aleta separated from Starhawk, she goes by her own name.
- Sharing a Body: Physically transformed by the Hawk God into one being with great power. The two had to share physical space, swapping at will, until the 90s series, where an attack by the Stark separates them.
- Sixth Ranger: Starhawk tends to be considered a founding member of the group, and frequently appears with the rest whenever they've reappeared. Aleta... not so much.
- The Stoic: Stakar isn't good with emotions, to say the least.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: Aleta vowed never to take a life, and was horrified when she killed a Stark while defending herself.
- Why Couldn't You Be Different?: Their father adopted Stakar in the hopes of raising him to be an Acturan raider, but was extremely disappointed by his turning out quiet and introspective instead.
- You Can't Fight Fate: If Stakar tries to change the loop in any significant way, he'll just create an alternate timeline, while his life goes on the same as it always has.
Nicolette "Nikki" Gold
Nikki was born on Mercury and joined the Guardians of the Galaxy after her planet was attacked by the Badoon.
- The Baby of the Bunch: The youngest member of the team, being somewhere in her late teens when she first appears. Accordingly, Charlie tends to act like a protective big brother towards her.
- Break the Cutie: The Badoon rolled through, and killer her family, friends and pretty much all her species when she was seven.
- Demoted to Extra: In Vol 2. When the original Guardians appear, Nikki's a no-show at first.
- Fantastic Racism: Despises lizards, of all kinds.
- Fiery Redhead: Literally and figuratively. Averted in her appearance from Guardians 3000 onward, where it's replaced with what appears to be braids.
- Flaming Hair: Except it's not hair exactly, but heat venting from her head.
- Friendly Sniper: Unless you're a filthy lizard, in which case she will try to kill you.
- The Gunslinger: She contributes to the Guardians mostly through her adeptness with guns.
- Last of His Kind: Because all the other Mercurians are dead.
- Leeroy Jenkins: When she reappears in 3000, her initial solution is to come in shooting. Just as the team had managed to talk down the A-Sentience. This gets them shooting all over again.
- Navel-Deep Neckline: Her 90s outfit was a leotard with a plunging neckline.
- The Nicknamer: Quickly takes up calling Charlie "Chunky".
- Playing with Fire: She can also do this.
- Pointy Ears: Her ears are pointy for some reason.
- Put on a Bus: Nowhere to be seen when Guardians 3000 begins, though she re-appears a few issues in. Though thanks to time falling apart at the seems, nobody remembers her.
- Run or Die: What she did when the Badoon invaded. Unable to fight them, and not exactly wanting to die fighting them, she grabbed a ship and ran for it into deep space.
- Sixth Ranger: The last of the "classic" Guardians to join up, early in their run in Marvel Presents, and the only addition to the team until the 90s.
- Transhuman: She's a Mercurian, a human being modified to live on Mercury without dying horribly.
- The Vamp: Not actually, but Charlie does jokingly accuse her of being one when she glomps onto Thor during a team-up.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She hates lizards. Anything even remotely reptilian, due to the Badoon attacking her homeworld when she was seven.
Firelord (Pyreus Kril)
The Firelord started life as Pyreus Kril on the planet Xandar home to the legendary Nova Corps. He was once one of the Heralds of Galactus.
- Boom Stick: Firelord's staff can shoot cosmic flames out of both ends.
- The Chosen Many: A former member of the Nova Corp, as well as the [[Characters/Galactus Heralds of Galactus]].
- Doomed Hometown: Xandar.
- Flaming Hair: He has a rippling mane of flames in place of hair.
- Flying Brick: Pretty much a requisite of any Herald of Galactus.
- Flying Firepower: His preferred method of combat is to fly around and hurl fiery blasts at his enemies.
- Older and Wiser: Than his modern-day incarnation, who's known for being Hot-Blooded. A thousand years has mellowed him out a little. Only a little mind.
- Playing with Fire: As his name suggests, he has the ability to project and manipulate cosmic energy in the form of metaphysical flames.
Replica
A young Skrull from the Earth-691 universe and member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
- Animorphism: As a Skrull, she can easily assume the form of any animal she desires.
- Demoted to Extra: Only appears once in Vol 2, during the meeting of the Guardians of All Galaxies.
- Green-Skinned Space Babe: She's a Skrull, a species of green-skinned, pointy-eared humanoid aliens.
- Partial Transformation: Replica will readily change only parts of her body to give herself specific edges without giving up others granted by her whole body.
- Pointy Ears: Like all Skrulls.
- Winged Humanoid: When she needs to get around quickly, she grows wings to grant herself flight without otherwise altering her body.
Talon
Talon was an Inhuman born on Earths' Moon and was originally a disciple of the 31st Century's' Sorcerer Supreme, Krugarr. Later became a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
- Kung-Fu Wizard: Initially a better fighter than wizard, eventually given a Amulet of Concentrated Awesome by his master.
- The Nicknamer: Prone to this. Charlie even asks him if he's capable of calling anyone by their name.
Yellowjacket (Rita DeMara)
Geena Drake
A human with temporal awareness rescued by the Guardians of the Galaxy from the Badoon.
- Badass Normal: Doesn't have any actual powers, yet can survive a fight just as well as the rest of the team.
- Chuck Cunningham Syndrome: Hasn't been seen since Secret Wars.
- The Constant: She's a unique singularity in the multiverse, utterly immune to any and all disruptions to time. Korvac's plan was to use her as the foundation for his re-write of reality.
- Hand Cannon: Acquires one of these from a Badoon. And then Yondu gives her another shortly thereafter, one that's far more powerful and designed to not knock her off her feet whenever she fires it.
- MacGuffin Super-Person: The reason the Guardians rescued her, she can sense disruption to time. Unfortunately, this means other, less benevolent beings want her as well.
- Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory: No matter how much reality changes around her, Geena's memories remain the same.
Hollywood
In an alternate future, Wonder Man - now with snow white hair and using the alias "Hollywood" - reluctantly aids the Guardians of the Galaxy. He also aids several other heroes, sometimes operating out of the still-standing Avengers Mansion. Hollywood eventually joins the Guardians, and later the "breakaway" team, the Galactic Guardians.
- Energy Being: It's easily forgotten because of his ability to project a semblance of humanoid form, but he's actually comprised of ionic energy, not flesh and blood.
- Flying Brick: He's Nigh-Invulnerable and has the power of Flight, a classic Flying Brick.
- My Greatest Failure: He blamed himself for the deaths of many of his fellow heroes during the early 21st Century Martian invasion of Earth.
- Really 700 Years Old: Around a thousand years old, give or take.
- Reluctant Warrior: Simon really doesn't like fighting, but he'll still go into battle if necessary.
Mainframe
The Earth-691 version of Mainframe is a future counterpart of Vision. Mainframe is the chief operating system of an entire planet, and the guardian of the shield of hero Captain America. He soon joins the Guardians of the Galaxy spinoff, the Galactic Guardians.
- Master Computer: A good version, he is the chief operating system of an entire planet of Klaatu and the guardian of the shield of Captain America.
- Mission Control: Since he no longer can move, this is his main role.
- Really 700 Years Old: Like Hollywood, he's somewhere around a thousand years old.
- That Man Is Dead: He's not the Vision anymore, and would very kindly like it if no-one called him by his old name.
The Spirit of Vengeance (Wileaydus Autolycus)
In the 31st Century, Wileaydus Autolycus continues the legacy of Ghost Rider. Travelling the Cosmos alongside the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Spirit of Vengeance shows no mercy to the Universal Church of Truth.
- Badass Biker: He's a Ghost Rider; a demon-possessed vengeance-seeking mounted warrior who rides around on a flaming magitek motorcycle. It comes with the territory.
- Breath Weapon: One of his preferred ways of using his hellfire is to spew gouts of it from his mouth.
- Flaming Skulls: As a Ghost Rider, his head is a bare skull that's on fire.
- Hellfire: He's a demon; the fire he wields is magical flame taken directly from hell.
- Legacy Character: The 31st century version of Ghost Rider.
- Playing with Fire: Like all Ghost Riders, his primary power set is based on projecting and manipulating flames.
- Post-Modern Magik: He's a demon-host who runs around in a spaceship battling evil aliens.
Phoenix IX (Giraud of Haven)
In the 30th century, Giraud is the 9th version of the Phoenix since Jean Grey.
- Flight: He can levitate himself using psychokinesis.
- Legacy Character: The 9th version of the Phoenix since Jean Grey.
- Playing with Fire: His Phoenix powers give his cosmic pyrokinesis, essentially magic fire.
- Mind over Matter: His primary power set is psychokinesis, which is the ability to physically manipulate the world around him with his thoughts.
- Psychic Powers: All of his powers stem from his super alien brain.
- Telepathy: Like most Marvel psychics, he's able to communicate with others on a direct mental level.
