Respect Drax the Destroyer!

Welcome to the Drax Respect Thread. Please do not spam or troll this thread, but if you have scans, feel free to contribute, as my collection here is far from complete. We can start with Drax's origin, when he was originally the human Arthur Douglas of Earth, killed by Thanos in order to keep his secrets. The Titan god of time, Kronos, resurrected him as Drax the Destroyer, with the purpose of killing Thanos. Also in this sequence Drax easily destroys a large asteroid:

Power/Strength

Fights Thanos on an abandoned planet and destroys it and its moon as a side effect of the fight. Is only KO'd but otherwise okay afterwards:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxthanosplanetbust1.jpg

Destroys a planet:

Destroys another planet and a star:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxstarbusting.jpg

Maxam's strength is measured as being "near Drax's non - adrenalined peak" and this puts him in a class with the Hulk. This means that Hulk < Non - adrenalined Drax < Adrenalined Drax:

Skips a large boulder across the water:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxskipsaboulder.jpg

Physically holds back the Silver Surfer as he is bloodlusted and attempting to attack Thanos:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxrestrainssurfer.jpg

After Surfer has absorbed a vast amount of power from the sun and become a missile heading toward the Goddess's Paradise Omega, Drax deflects his course on track with a punch:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxpunchespoweredupsurfer.jpg

Breaks out of a deep underground cave easily:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/ccthanoscaptureserosmentor.jpg

Chokes the Silver Surfer:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxchokessurfer.jpg

Holds Surfer's board in place. Mentor comments that Drax's power is seemingly limitless:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxpowersurfer.jpg

Chokes the Hulk:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxchokeshulk.jpg

Chokes Firelord:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxattacksfirelord.jpg

Drax threatens to destroy Soul World (an entire dimension). Warlock and Gamora seem to think he has the power to do it:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxworldbreak.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxworldbreak1.jpg

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxdestroysoulworld1.jpg

Thanos (while in posession of the Cosmic Cube) implies that Drax has the power to destroy the entire universe:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/ccthanosembodiestheuniverse.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxdestroyuniverse.jpg

With the help of the Hulk, Drax punches Thanos (with the IG) and sends him flying:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxhulkpunchthanos.jpg

Drax, Hulk, and Thor attack Nebula with the IG, their power is stated able to easily rend asunder a small planet:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxhulkthorrendplanet.jpg

Durability

Takes a hit from Thing without even flinching. Thing can be seen flying in the next panel, obviously at the hands of Drax:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/thanoschairdraxgamora.jpg

Takes a punch and blast from Surfer and it only annoys him:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/surfervsdrax.jpg

Gets blasted by Odin and is up and fine a few pages later:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/odinblastsdrax.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxgetsupfromodinblast.jpg

Takes simultaneous attacks from Human Torch, Nova, and someone I don't recognize (maybe Speedball?) without any harm whatsoever:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxdurability1.jpg

Gets up after a blast from Thanos' Cosmic Cube that leveled a good section of the interior of Titan:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxdurability.jpg

Takes a sundip with Surfer:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/surferevadingdraxsundipping1.jpg

Speed/Reaction Times

Keeps up with Firelord in space:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxfirelordflight.jpg

Intercepts Gamora's ship in space:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxspaceattack.jpg

Stops no more than a few meters after Surfer stops in the middle of spaceflight:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxreaction.jpg

Drax pursues Surfer and hangs onto his board, Surfer with all of his speed can't shake him and has to resort to tricking him to escape:

Keeps up with Surfer flying through space. Considering he's obviously in a hurry to warn people about Thanos, this is a very good speed feat:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxspeed1.jpg

Quickly reacts to rescue some people that Thanos threw off a cliff:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxspeed.jpg

Energy Blasts

Blasts Thanos with the IG, from his expression he seems to feel it:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxblastsigthanos.jpg

Blasts Death. Does nothing, but shows the capability for a very wide - angle blast:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxblastsdeath.jpg

Blasts Surfer into a wall:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxblastssurfer.jpg

One of his blasts shakes the entire moon of Titan:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxblastshakestitan.jpg

Blasts a Thanos robot:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxblast.jpg

Blasts Thanos:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxattacks.jpg

Here he actually uses his own blasts to intercept and block a blast from Thanos with the power of the Cosmic Cube (after he had merged with the universe itself). This is an incredibly impressive feat:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxblocksccthanosblast.jpg

Blasts Thanos merged with the universe via the Cosmic Cube:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxvsccthanos.jpg

Mental Powers

Resists Thanos' "Time - Mind - Sync - Warp" attack impressively, although he falls in the end:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/syncwarp.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/syncwarp1.jpg

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/syncwarp3.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/syncwarp4.jpg

Moondragon states that Drax's power gem renders him immune to her psychic attacks, even with the Mind gem:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/powergempsychicprotection.jpg

The new Drax easily shakes off a mental attack from Moondragon:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxmental.jpg

Drax's soul is incredibly powerful, allowing him to retain his powers in Soul World while Surfer cannot:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxsmackssurfer.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxsoul.jpg

Senses a dimensional portal opening before Surfer, Eros, or Mentor could:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxsenses.jpg

Drax's connection with Thanos allows him to determine that Thanos mind - probed Surfer and that he had the Infinity Gauntlet:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxsenses1.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxsenses2.jpg

The original Drax could track Thanos mentally wherever he was:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxpursuit.jpg

Mentally contacts Iron Man:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxtp.jpg

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxtp4.jpg

Communicates mentally from Earth to Titan:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxtp5.jpg

The first resurrection of Drax has dulled his sense so that he can't automatically tell the location of Thanos, but he is still linked to him:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxthanossense.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxthanossense1.jpg

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxsurfer.jpg

Drax and Hulk attack Thor, but Hulk's space suit is destroyed so only Drax carries on the fight:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxattacksthor.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxupstageshulk.jpg

Easily defeats a bunch of monsters on Monster Island:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxownsmonsters1.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxsuperiortomonsters.jpg

Drax easily defeats a powered - up Champion in one blow, who had previously smashed a planet to pieces and was giving Surfer trouble. Admittedly, he uses the Power Gem for this, but it's still impressive:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxownschampion.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxownschampion1.jpg

Drax owns the Thing in one blow. It takes him 10 pages to get back up and he's still feeling it:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxkosthing.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxkosthing1.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxkosthing2.jpg

New Drax kills one of Annihilus's Queens, Eradica:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxkillseradica.jpg

Fights Thanos and loses, but shows some good moves:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxvsthanosf21.jpg

New Drax finally achieves his purpose in life and kills Thanos:

Misc. Feats, Info, and Scans

Thanos refers to Drax as "Power personified, with a temper and a short fuse." He also says that even Moondragon with the Mind Gem wouldn't last long against him:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/thanosreflexesanddraxpower.jpg

New Drax tears the hull of Annihilus's ship open and kills some more bugs:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxtearsship.jpg

New Drax closes the distance to a robot before it can fire its weapons and destroys it:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxprofile1.jpg

A cool scene that captures Drax's character well:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxconfrontsthanos.jpg

Drax's body is actually made of non - living matter:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxnonliving.jpg

Drax gets resurrected by Kronos again:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxresurrected.jpg

Drax is Thanos' Silver Bullet, the Kryptonite that takes him down, and the only thing that can kill him:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxthanosdestiny.jpg
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxthanosdestiny1.jpg

Thanos with the IG confirms that the second resurrection of Drax "Dumb Drax" is weaker than the original:

http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t173/EndlessMike9/drax/draxweaker.jpg

Well that's all that I have, if you have anything else please post it, I've barely scratched the surface here.

Great Respect Thread. But just one thing to add...

Drax, Hulk, and Thor attack Nebula with the IG, their power is stated able to easily rend asunder a small planet:
http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/...rrendplanet.jpg

...Firelord's blasting Nebula there too. Note the fire on her side.

Endless Mike Sqirrel Girl fanboy

You're right, I missed that.

Also here's another scan I forgot: The Super - Skrull is terrified of Drax, and states that no one except for Thanos has defeated him:

Jebus reborn Dead

Drax and Pip teleport in front of Surfer, and Drax stops him, and steals his board.

Drax grabs Surfer, and holds him back.

Drax breaks free from one of Mephisto's traps, and Moondragon has to protect everyone so that it doesn't kill the others when he does it. Notable feat, since Surfer was also there...

New Drax swiftly cuts off Lunatik's head (although it be a cheap shot), and then squashes his head.

New Drax fights both of the Blood Brothers, and ends up stabbing his knives into one of their heads, killing them.

Thanos_THOTU The Ghost Who Walks

First I thought of him as one shit among the infinity watch, after reading most of the scans here he's now among the coolest characters out there.

CosmicSurfer Senior Member

Who is this new Drax? And why does he look so different? What's with the daggers?

I can't believe Thanos got impaled by a fist nonetheless.

CosmicSurfer Senior Member

I'm totally shocked by this. Thanos is one of the most invulnerable characters there is. As you can tell, I don't read much things about Thanos at all. So please, spare me with the flaming.

Because Drax was specifically created to kill him

How was he created to kill Thanos? Does he possess some sort of power/energy that Thanos is specifically vulnerable to? I appreciate it if you can be more specific.

It was one of the abstracts (maybe Kronos?) that imbued him with the ability to kill Thanos. It's never really explained in detailed, but we do know he was specifically engineered to be able to kill Thanos. Otherwise he's nowhere near the Titan's power level.

I'm pretty sure that was explained in one of the Surfer comics in which Thanos had just come back from Death.

I know it was in that graphic novel, I was just trying to recall which specific comic book it was in.

Something like Silver Surfer v2 #33 (ish?)
