BLOOD BROTHERS
Having picked the wrong side during the Galactic War, twin Rocklite brothers Garek and Rosson Blood served the genocidal conqueror Thanos until his demise. As Thanos' empire crumbled, the pair were imprisoned for their crimes, but only spent a brief portion of 44 life sentences in the Kyln facility. They escaped by detaching the entire security wing of the prison, severing its life support systems, and hurdling it into space.

Now muscle for hire and operating out of Knowhere, the Blood Brothers are keen to break bones and relieve their pent-up aggression. Together, they are nearly unstoppable, sharing a unique physiological bond that greatly enhances their strength and resilience the closer they are to one another.

While Nova Corps is still eager to arrest the mass murderers, the Worldmind's jurisdiction does not extend to Knowhere.
