5	[[folder:Jack Flagg, a savior?]]
6	* During the arc where the Fault threatens to destroy all the potential futures of our universe, one of the 31st century Starhawks names Jack Flagg as TheChosenOne, and this is seemingly confirmed by the fact that the weird temporal effects affecting the other Guardians does nothing to Jack. However, neither Starhawk's comment nor Jack's resistance to the time displacement effect is ever explained, so what was that all about?

9	[[folder:Starhawk identifying the threat to our universe]]
10	* Towards the end of volume 2, one of the Starhawks who have gathered in the 31st century says that the return of Thanos in the 21st century is the thing that leads to the BadFuture the Starhawks have been trying to change. However, in ''ComicBook/TheThanosImperative'' we learn that the threat to our universe had nothing to do with Thanos, and Thanos is the one who actually stops the BadFuture from happening. So why did Starhawk put the blame on Thanos?
11	** They must not have known about the Cancerverse so they assumed it was Thanos, the dude known for regularly destroying universes for kicks.

14	[[folder:Is Star-Lord super-tough?]]
15	* Star-Lord is supposed to be just a regular human with no superpowers, right? Yet he continuously takes beatings from massively superpowered beings, including Thanos, without any serious injuries. How is that possible?
16	** He's not a regular human though; he's actually half human, half Spartax, which gives him above-human stats. Star-Lord is a LOT tougher than you give him credit for. He has all sorts of suits, shields, and gadgets to help him fight off high powered threats. Remember, while he was still 'Cosmic policeman Star-Lord' he was able to beat the Fallen One, a former Herald of Galactus who outclasses the Silver Surfer in power level. And IIRC the only time him and Thanos actually fought each other (as opposed to, say, Thanos and Nova or Drax) was when they were both in the Cancerverse and Quill had a Cosmic Cube to give him a boost.
17	** Nope, that's not the only time. When Thanos wakes up from his cocoon before the events of ''The Thanos Imperative'', he straight up punches Star-Lord without Star-Lord suffering any serious damage, even though Quill wasn't using any shields or gadgets, nor did he have the Cosmic Cube then. Thanos is constantly shown to be able to kill super-powered beings, and in that particular instance he certainly wasn't pulling back his punches, so it seems weird Quill got out of it unscathed.
18	** Well its certainly not the first time superheros take hits they shouldn't survive and walk away unscathed. I'm looking at you, {{ComicBook/Batman}}
19	** Star-Lord does tend to carry around objects of power that boosts his endurance.
20	** Yes, but in the example mentioned above he doesn't have any such objects, and yet he survives Thanos' attack.

23	[[folder:Why is Gamora called the most dangerous woman in the universe?]]
24	* Why did she get that title? I'm pretty sure there are women out there far more vicious and powerful than her. This is Marvel, the universe where evil mutants, witches, demons, and aliens run amok.
25	** Meta explanation: when Jim Starlin created her in the mid-70s, ruthless female heroes who were just as capable as male ones were still pretty rare in Marvel comics, so maybe Starlin wanted to emphasize what a Badass she was? In-universe, Thanos raised Gamora as a living weapon, so maybe he also came up with the "most dangerous woman" legend and helped to spread it, so that people would fear Gamora even more?
