History

In the 31st Century, Earth had colonized several planets in its solar system, including Pluto. T'Naga was born on Pluto, although it was later revealed his ancestors were from the continent of Africa on Earth.

He grew up to become a scientist. Like the other Pluvians, T'Naga's body was completely covered by facets that were crystalline in appearance, so that the Pluvians could withstand the extreme temperatures of their world. T'Naga could also emit heat and cold from his hands. When the Badoon attempted to exterminate all the Pluvians, T'Naga escaped the Badoon and teamed with Vance Astro, a human astronaut from the 20th century, Charlie-27, a Jovian, and Yondu, from Alpha Centauri, to fight the Badoon as the Guardians of the Galaxy. The Guardians were once assisted by the Thing, Captain America, and Agent 13. Eventually, the Guardians drove the Badoon from Earth, with T'Naga executing their leader (Koord), but they were unable to fit in with postwar life on Earth and departed on a mission to explore the galaxy. T'Naga later became the team's reluctant leader.

While looking for the shield of Captain America, the Guardians came into conflict with a team of superhumans known as Force. T'Naga was badly injured by a member of Force known as Brawl. Much of the crystals that covered T'Naga body were shattered, but T'Naga recovered with the help of fellow Guardian Starhawk. All of the exterior crystals on T'Naga fell away, leaving T'Naga with a new, less faceted, somewhat purple appearance.

Eventually, T'Naga left the team to form a larger version of the Guardians, called the Galactic Guardians. The Galactic Guardians were initially made up of Wonder Man, Firelord, the Vision, and Ghost Rider. T'Naga later returned to the Guardians of the Galaxy.
