What Happened To Everyone Who Joined The Guardians Of The Galaxy?

17. Charlie 27

Guardians of the Galaxy Thing
Marvel Comics

Before Drax or Groot, the muscle of the Guardians of the Galaxy was Charlie 27.

With the original idea of the Guardians being representatives from different planets teaming up to protect the galaxy from evil, it only makes sense that someone of Charlie 27's uh...stature would be the representative of Jupiter.

Ol' Chuck was literally genetically engineered to be able to withstand Jupiter's insane crushing gravity, which makes him very useful indeed when dealing with things that need a good punching.

Like the other Guardians, we last saw him in the comic Guardians 3000, but seeing as how that comic didn't sell amazingly well (it's Marvel cosmic, that's just an L you gotta take a lot of the time), that might be the last time we hear from the Guardians' original lovable bruiser for quite some time. But it was still nice to see what he was up to.
