Summary

As the Titan god Kronos' creation, Drax the Destroyer has spent most of his existence either trying to kill Thanos or dealing with the fact that others have already done it. Drax survived the Annihilation Wave and made some important allies. As part of the Guardians of the Galaxy, he joined Star-Lord, Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, and others whose unique abilities and strong bonds make them resilient to whatever the cosmos throws at them. But underneath all that, did you know that Drax the Destroyer is secretly Drax the Sax Man? Let’s dive deep into his comic book history before Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 hits theaters!
