## History

### The Gurdians of the Galaxy

Ronan is first seen speaking his motto and having his minions dressing him up as well as upset to hear that that the Kree Empire and Nova Empire have signed a peace treaty and when a prisoner said to Ronan that he will never rule Xandar, Ronan said that he will destroy Xandar and kill the prisoner which releases blood from the latter going on the ground. After that, Nebula told Ronan about Korath's return from Morag in which he found about Peter/Star-Lord stealing the Orb and plans to sell it to the Broker. Knowing the deal with Thanos of retrieving the Orb for him as also having Thanos destroyed Xandar with the Orb, Ronan sent Nebula and Gamora to Xandar in order to get the Orb without knowing that the latter plans to betray him and Thanos as well as selling the Orb to Taneleer Tian/The Collector.

Later, Ronan is called by the Other because Thanos wants to talk with him as well as also revealing to him that Gamora is betray him the whole time. During the meeting, Ronan talks with Thanos about Gamora and blaming him for Gamora's betrayal towards him. The Other then yells at Ronan for rasing his voice at Thanos. Tired of the Other's taunts toward him, Ronan kills him with his Universal weapon. Ronan then tells Thanos to take the problem seriously in which prompts the latter to turn around, mocking and threatening him. After that, Thanos then insisted that he would still honor their agreement to destroy Xandar with the Orb, but he will him if he fails to bring the Orb to him. Nebula then thanks Thanos for his statements towards Ronan as well as telling Ronan he won't win a war against Thanos as well as also telling him to head to the Kyln in which Ronan did later.

At the Kyln, Ronan, and his minions are seen looking for the Orb although by time they arrived, the heroes have already escaped and continued their quest to sell the Orb to the Collector. Also, during that, Nebula tortured one of the prison guards in which he reveals that he doesn't know where the heroes went. Furious that the heroes got away with the Orb, Ronan orders Nebula to send the Necroraft to every corner of the quadrant in order to find the Orb as well as also ordering her to cleanse the prison in order to sure that Nova can't find out about what's he after.

Ronan finally tracks the heroes thanks to a message from Drax. When Nebula told Ronan that Gamora is escaping with the Orb, Ronan goes back in his Necrocraft but is stopped by Drax due to wanting to have revenge on him for killing his family. Ronan easily defeats Drax, after that, Ronan throws Drax into a vat of spinal fluid in order to drown him. Nebula then informs him that the Orb has been recovered. Ronan then goes back his in Necrocraft now that he has the Orb.

After having the Orb, Thanos contracts him that he hands over the Orb to him, but Ronan decides to keep the Orb due to discovering that it has a Infinity Stone and informs him that after destroying Xandar, he will kill Thanos. Just then, Nebula tells Ronan that if he kills Thanos, he will help him destroy a thousand planets (revealing that Nebula also plans to betray Thanos and Ronan is planning to destroy a thousand planets after destroying Xandar and killing Thanos).

Ronan arrives at Xandar in his Dark Aster, when he is about to destroy Xandar, the Guardians of the Galaxy and the Ravagers confronted the Dark Aster as well as also the Nova Corp forming a blockade around the Dark Aster to stop its movement but however despite that, Ronan sent his minions on the Necrocraft in order to battle the heroes.

While continuing to watch the battle unfold, Ronan found himself confronted by the Guardians of the Galaxy after they defeated Nebula and Korath the Purser during the time they arrived inside the Dark Aster and when Peter/Star-Lord try to kill Ronan with the Hardon Enforcer, it reveals that Ronan is unaffected by the attack and attacked the heroes with his Universal weapon. Drax then started trying to attack Ronan, but Ronan strangles him saying that he does remember killing his family but before he can say more about Drax's deceased family, Rocket crashed his ship into the Dark Aster, knocking down Ronan, heavily damaging the ship and sending it plummeting to the ground.

When the Dark Aster crashed to the surface of Xandar just after Groot sacrificed his life to save his teammates from the explosion, Ronan walks calmly out of his ship's wreckage, revealing that he survived the crash from Rocket's ship. Rocket furiously attempted to attack Ronan in revenge for being indirectly responsible for Groot's death, but Ronan uses his Universal weapon to shoot him away. Ronan then mocked the Guardians of the Galaxy as well as announcing to the people of Xandar that he will kill them with his Universal weapon which has the Stone's power but before Ronan can do it, Peter/Star-Lord started a dance duel in which Ronan got confused. Peter/Star-Lord then reveals that is just a distraction. The distraction that Peter/Star-Lord made had Rocket have enough time to repair the Hardon Enforcer in which led Drax fire at Ronan's Universal Weapon.

Peter/Star-Lord then immediately grabs the Orb that almost killed him, but his teammates hold his hands to help him against Ronan, who didn't understand how simple mortals could withstand the power of an Infinity Stone and demanded how they could do that; with Quill proclaiming that they are the "Gurdians of the Galaxy". Enraged by this, Ronan tries to attack again with his hammer, only for Peter/Star-Lord and his teammates use the power of the Orb to disintegrate Ronan. Ronan then screams in pain as he started to get disintegrated. With Ronan gone, Xandar has been saved and the Orb is handled over to the Nova Corps for safekeeping.
