Drax

Drax the Destroyer, often just called Drax, is a character from American comic books published by Marvel Comics and also appears in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) media franchise. In the original comics, Drax was once a human named Arthur Douglas. His family was killed by the supervillain Thanos. To combat Thanos, the entity known as Kronos took Arthur’s spirit and placed it in a powerful new body, thus creating Drax the Destroyer. In the MCU, Drax is played by Dave Bautista. He is portrayed as a formidable but not particularly bright warrior who seeks revenge against Ronan the Accuser, the individual responsible for his family’s death. Drax was a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy and is known for his superhuman strength, stamina, speed, reflexes, and his proficiency in swordsmanship and hand-to-hand combat. He also shares a close bond with Mantis, another member of the Guardians. Drax’s journey of revenge and redemption makes him a fascinating character in the Marvel universe.
