It is comprised of Star-Lord ([[Steve Downes]]), Adam Warlock (Kirk Thornton), Groot ([[Troy Baker]]), Rocket Raccoon (Greg Ellis), and Quasar (Moira Quirk), which is based on the original version of the team except for the absence of [[Drax]] and [[Gamora]]. |

He fights classic villains such as [[Shocker]] ([[Jim Cummings]]), [[Kingpin]] ([[Roscoe Lee Browne]]), [[Vulture]] ([[Alan Johnson]] and [[Eddie Albert]]), and [[Doctor Octopus]] ([[Efrem Zimbalist Jr.]]) as well as then-recent characters such as [[Venom]] ([[Hank Azaria]]), [[Hobgoblin]] ([[Mark Hamill]]), and [[Carnage]] ([[Scott Cleverdon]]).

− | Star-Lord started the team to protect the galaxy from terrible threats. Whenever Adam Warlock senses an imbalance in the power of the universe, the team heads to that point to confront it. At some point they learned about Kree experimentations on a human abductee named Michael Korvac. The Kree unleashed some kind of energy within Korvac, possibly a hidden gene in humanity (borrowing from the [[Inhuman]]s). Korvac destroyed his captors and escaped. Later Korvac destroyed a space station and most of a planet laughing the entire time. Realizing his destructive powers, the Guardians tracked Korvac. Even though they could not physically defeat him they hoped to trap him in Warlock's Soul Gem. |

+ | The series came about when Marvel Comics was facing financial problems. [[Avi Arad]] started [[Marvel Films Animation]] to bring characters to animation and hired [[John Semper, Jr.]] to be story editor after a previous editor failed to work out. The two clashed on the direction of the show, but Semper won after arguing that a quality show would sell toys anyways. Semper had great freedom when it came to guest stars and included characters such as [[Punisher]] ([[John Beck]]), [[Blade]] ([[James Donald Hall]]), [[Doctor Strange]] ([[John Vernon]]), and [[Madame Web]] ([[Joan Lee]]). He used season long story arcs, against direct orders since that was something not being done in a children's show. Despite being top in the ratings, the show was eventually cancelled because of a disagreement between Arad and head of [[Fox Kids]] [[Margaret Loesch]]. |
||
− | The Guardians tracked Korvac to {{C|Earth|aemh}}, where he was trying to find his lost love Corrina. They went to New York City to a {{C|Avengers Mansion|aemh|mansion}} and found the {{C|Avengers|aemh}} protecting him, who didn't know what he did. Due to a misunderstanding and a language barrier, the Avengers attacked the Guardians. {{C|Black Panther|aemh}} fought Warlock, {{C|Hawkeye|aemh}} fought Star-Lord, {{C|Iron Man|aemh}} fought Quasar, and {{C|Hulk|aemh}} fought Rocket and Groot while {{C|Wasp|aemh}} lead Korvac and Corrina away. Eventually Star-Lord talked Hawkeye into helping them stop Korvac. |
||
+ | The show as a hit in the ratings. The episode {{eps|Day of the Chameleon}} won an Annie Award for Best Individual Achievement for Writing in the Field of Animation. The series won a NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Animated/Live Action/Dramatic Youth or Children's Series/Special. The show had a major impact on the comics and subsequent adaptations, most notably with the [[Venom Symbiote]]. Before, the symbiote just gave Spider-Man unlimited [[Web Fluid|webbing]]. Afterwards the comics, films, and other series included the aspect that the symbiote increased his aggressive side. In fact, the film ''Spider-Man 3'' included a recreated shot from {{eps|The Alien Costume, Part One}}. Other aspects include making [[Green Goblin]] an alternate personality to [[Norman Osborn]] who actually communicates with and demeans his other self. Additionally, the series finale featured a story of Spider-Man traveling to an alternate universe to team up with several other [[Spider-Men]] to stop an evil version of [[Spider-Carnage|himself]]. A similar story was used in the video game ''Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions'', the comic story ''Spider-Verse'', and Oscar-winning film {{smitsv}}. |
||
− | Hawkeye convinced the Avengers to stop fighting, but Korvac unleashed his powers. Warlock pulled them all into the Soul Gem to save their lives. Inside the gem, the Guardians explained to the Avengers about how dangerous Korvac is. The two teams united and headed to Central Park where Korvac was fighting {{C|Ms. Marvel|aemh}}, mistaking her for a Kree spy due to her powers. The two teams gave an impressive battle, but were still no match for Korvac. Eventually Corrina expressed her fear at what he became and he disappeared somewhere where Warlock couldn't sense him. Iron Man then wished to talk with Star-Lord about potential threats, but Star-Lord denied saying that some things in the galaxy are better left unknown. |
