[[SpannerInTheWorks However, the relic has already been looted from its hiding place]] by Peter Quill (Creator/ChrisPratt), ''a.k.a.'' "ComicBook/StarLord", an outlaw and thief abducted from Earth as a child. This Earthling knows nothing of the relic's nature -- he's been raised by a band of [[SpacePirates Ravagers]] led by [[Characters/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyOriginal Yondu Udonta]] (Creator/MichaelRooker) and simply wants to sell the artifact off. He goes behind the Ravagers' back and takes the relic to Xandar, where he's set upon by the bounty hunters ComicBook/RocketRaccoon (Creator/BradleyCooper) and ComicBook/{{Groot}} (Creator/VinDiesel) and Thanos's pet assassin [[Characters/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyModern Gamora]] (Creator/ZoeSaldana), who is sister to Ronan's soldier [[Characters/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyModern Nebula]] (Creator/KarenGillan). After this RagtagBandOfMisfits ends up flung into a maximum security prison with [[Characters/GuardiansOfTheGalaxyModern Drax the Destroyer]] (Creator/DaveBautista]]), their mutual self-interest pits them against the Nova Corps, the Ravagers, and Ronan's relentless pursuit... and unexpectedly turns them into saviors.
