Take another look at the alien character 'Drax The Destroyer', played by martial arts expert Dave Bautista, in the currently shooting Marvel Studios feature, "Guardians Of The Galaxy".
The character 'Drax the Destroyer' was created by writer Mike Friedrich and writer/illustrator Jim Starlin, debuting in Marvel Comics' Iron Man #55 (February 1973).
'Arthur Douglas' was a human whose family was attacked and killed by the supervillain 'Thanos'.
Needing a champion to combat Thanos, the being known as 'Kronos' took Arthur's spirit and placed it in a powerful new 'Drax' body.
Drax's powers included enhanced strength and resilience, flight, and the ability to project energy blasts from his hands.
