Drax the Destroyer, originally named Arthur Douglas, had once been a real estate agent in the United States. While he and his wife were driving through the Mojave Desert, an alien spaceship descended from the sky, and a single blast from its laser cannon sent them both to kingdom come.
Unexpectedly, however, Douglas did not die. Instead, his soul was reincarnated in an alien body, and he took the name Drax.
It was a clichéd story. Drax retained none of his memories as an Earthling. Ever since his rebirth, he had remembered only one thing: he had to kill Thanos.
And the melodramatic twist was that the spaceship that had killed his original body and his wife belonged to Thanos.
Of course, behind every melodramatic story, there had to be an even more melodramatic scriptwriter.
The ones truly pulling all the strings were Thanos's father, Mentor, and Thanos's grandfather, Kronos.
Mentor believed his son would become a threat to the universe, so he joined forces with his own father, Thanos's grandfather Kronos, to create the ultimate weapon for destroying Thanos.
Drax the Destroyer.
As Titan's early god of time, Kronos used science and divine power to forge the Destroyer's body, giving him explosive strength exceeding a hundred tons and a body that even electromagnetic cannons could not damage.
If Drax needed to, he could fly bodily through space at near-light speed. He could also release the cosmic energy stored in his body through his hands in the form of shock waves.
He could survive in space without water, food, or even oxygen. And when Drax began carrying out his mission to kill Thanos, he could sense Thanos's location across countless light-years, even at the other end of the universe.
Once Drax confronted Thanos, he could even briefly foresee the future
