Biography

Beta Ray Bill

He was later captured by the Skrulls who stole his hammer Stormbreaker with Beta Ray Bill left plummeting towards Earth where he arrived in Asgard to warn Thor. (Secret Invasion: Thor v1 #1)

Beta Ray Bill afterwards came to learn that a Nova was responsible for aiding Captain Skaarn against the Korbinites. This saw Bill looking to track the offending Nova to Earth leading to his encounter with Sam Alexander. At first, the pair battled until Sam came to learn that Skaarn who he believed was innocent was actually a wanted criminal guilty of numerous crimes. The young Nova then accompanied Beta Ray Bill in space in order to track down Skaarn. (Nova v5 #13)

Bill then attended the reading at Sanctuary of the last will and testament of Thanos where the Mad Titan revealed that part of a contingency plan was to place a copy of his mind in the brain of someone else. At that point, the gathering of cosmic groups was attacked by the Black Order who claimed the body of their master before departing and ripping a hole in reality to dispose of their pursuers. Beta Ray Bill managed to survive by throwing his hammer attached to the chains of the Cosmic Ghost Rider to the other side where he pulled himself and several of his compatriots to safety. They then faced arrest by the Nova Corps but Star-Lord arrived where he recruited Bill along with the survivors into his newest incarnation of the Guardians of the Galaxy. (Guardians of the Galaxy v5 #1) Under Groot's leadership, the group travelled to Halfworld which was where Gamora was in hiding with her attacking them as she was unaware that the group were the Guardians of the Galaxy. They took her on their ship into space where they were attacked by the Dark Guardians who consisted of warriors brought together by Starfox that sought to eliminate Gamora under the belief that the mind of Thanos existed within her mind and would activate in the event of the Mad Titan's death. Beta Ray Bill along with the Guardians battled their counterparts where during the struggle Star-Lord was badly injured thus putting a halt to further fighting. (Guardians of the Galaxy v5 #4)
