Biography
Yondu Udonta
They soon encountered two other fugitives of the Badoon invasion: Charlie-27 of the Jupiter colony, and Martinex of the Pluto colony. Banding together to battle Badoon oppression, the four founded the Guardians of the Galaxy. (Marvel Super-Heroes v1 #18) For the next few years, the four survivors attacked the Badoon's outposts in the solar system, being at one time assisted by the Thing, Captain America and Sharon Carter. (Marvel Two-In-One v1 #5) With aid from the time-travelling Defenders, they managed to repel all the Badoon from Earth's dominion. (Defenders v1 #26) Having secured the freedom of their people, the Guardians found themselves unable to fit in with postwar civilian life and left earth to explore space and safeguard the galaxy. (Marvel Presents v1 #3)
He and the Guardians team with the time-traveling Thor, and battle Korvac and his Minions of Menace. (Thor Annual v1 #6)
These Kikaahe ("cave dwellers") escaped death at the hands of the Badoon because the walls of the cavern where they lived contained the mineral trillite ("yaka") which blocks radio waves, thereby shielding them from sensors. Since his newfound people will not accept his bionic weapon-hand, Yondu allows the Guardians to use their advanced medical technology to restore his flesh-and-blood hand. During their farewells, Vance apologizes for what he had thought was unacceptable treatment of Yondu during their earlier adventurers. (Guardians of the Galaxy Annual v1 #2)
Yondu eventually left the Guardians and returned to Centauri-IV to repopulate the planet, where he was married with two children and became leader of a tribe. (Yondu v1 #4) Years later, when communing with Anthos, Yondu was ordered to travel to the past in order to prevent his ancestor from ruining the fate of the Centaurian race. Yondu's ancestor possessed the Herald's Urn, an artifact that held the devastating Power Cosmic, and recklessly planned to sell it. Yondu was sent back in time by Anthos and met his vile, infidel, and indecent ancestor, wondering how such a man could be the legendary Yondu Udonta, whom he was named after. (Yondu v1 #1)
