Drax is a physical brute hailed from a race of primitives. who are considered naive and hopelessly underdeveloped by the more advanced galactic groups. As a result, Drax is extremely unaware of basic concepts such as metaphors and customs. They are, however, a fierce and capable warrior race who follow a tribal-like culture. After Ronan the Accuser murdered his wife and daughter, Drax got driven into a path of vengeance and went on a bloody rampage across the galaxy in search of the murderous Kree. Following 22 counts of murder and six counts of grievous bodily harm, he was arrested by the Nova Corps and brought to the Kyln. After making a tentative alliance with the Guardians, the untamed Drax must learn to put the needs of the universe before his own.
Powers and abilities
Drax's powers included superhuman strength, stamina and resistance to physical injury as well the ability to project concussive blasts of cosmic energy from his hands. He can also travel at high speeds in outer space and hyperspace without air, food, or water. Drax also possessed the ability to sense the presence of Thanos across vast distances, and an ability to pass through Thanos' forcefield.
After his resurrection, his physical capabilities are greatly enhanced beyond their original levels but he suffered severe mental disability in his new incarnation. Instead of his ability to sense Thanos across vast distances, he now possessed the ability to sense when beings have been in recent contact with Thanos, and a precognitive ability to sense when beings will be in contact with Thanos in the near future.
