Peter Quill, also known as Star-Lord, is a human who was abducted from Earth as a child and grew up among space pirates known as the Ravagers.
Gamora is an adopted daughter of the powerful villain Thanos, raised as an assassin. She seeks redemption for her past actions.
Drax the Destroyer is a warrior seeking vengeance for the murder of his family by Ronan the Accuser.
Rocket Raccoon is a genetically modified raccoon with a knack for engineering and weapons, while Groot is a sentient tree-like being who can only say "I am Groot."
