Talk:Drax the Destroyer

message: he always wears a purple skullcap; it has been suggested that the skullcap is non-removable
i could be mistaken, but it appears that in the recently released 1st issue of the new Drax mini-series, the big man is sans skullcap, sporting simply a bald green head.12.47.223.8 21:15, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pictures 

message: There is a paragraph in the "Powers and Abilities" section whereby the poster claims that Drax can rip apart planets.
I don't EVER remember Drax having that kind of power in any of his incarnations. Did these events ever actually happen with Drax...and more importantly, did he perform these feats with the aid of the Power Gem??
In Iron Man #55 which was his first appearance he and Thanos destroyed a planet by fighting on it. No power gem involved.
Please respond, as I wish to alter the entry in the near future to both correct the error, if it is indeed one, and to update the entry.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Drax.PNG

message: Having just read the entry on Drax's history, it says in one section that his mind was restored at Moondragon's request 1996, then in another that it happened when his body was remade in 2006.  Which is it?  Or did the 2006 author just not know about the previous story?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Loomborn (talk • contribs) 14:52, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's both. The 1996 story had poor sales, so relatively few people knew his mind restored. The writer of the 2006 story (and the book's editor) may have been unaware of the event, or they may have decided to ignore it since it wasn't done very well anyway. It's also possible Drax was re-damaged in some untold event. Argento Surfer (talk) 21:41, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction... 

message: I've been reading the original Jim Starlin issues of Iron Man and Captain Marvel that introduced this character:
his original costume looked very familiar, and I realised it is almost identical to the Golden Age Destroyer ... compare the covers of Mystic 6 with Captain Marvel 58, in these pages ... 
also the other characters hardly ever call him Drax, just "The Destroyer"
I don't know about Starlin, but Roy Thomas was the editor for all these issues, and he of course created the (Silver Age) Vision, inspired by the Golden Age Vision, and was generally obsessed with reviving Golden Age characters... 
have either Thomas or Starlin ever commented on any intention to make Drax a modern update of the Golden Age character?

replies: text: Roy's introduction to the Captain Marvel masterworks discusses the origins of Thanos in detail, but I don't recall any mention of Drax. This indicates Starlin was designing the character prior to working for Marvel. I always thought he looked similar to Phantom. Argento Surfer (talk) 18:14, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
