The Guardians of the Galaxy are a team of superheroes appearing in Marvel Comics and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The team was originally created by writer Arnold Drake and artist Gene Colan in 1969, and its lineup has changed over the years.
In the comics, the Guardians of the Galaxy were initially a group of heroes from different planets who banded together to protect the universe from various threats.
