Biography
Martinex T'Naga was a male Pluvian and was an inhabitant of the planet Pluto in the 30th century. (Marvel Super-Heroes v1 #18) It was said that his ancestors were from the continent of Africa on Earth. (Guardians of the Galaxy v1 #18)
Around two months ago, his people received word that the Badoon planned an invasion of the solar system and they came to evacuate Pluto as a result. Martinex stayed behind to sabotage some of the facilities on the planet where he was supposed to rendezvous with the rest of his people but became stranded on the world. Whilst there, he encountered a Jovian named Charlie-27 who had fled the Badoon and arrived through the tele-port depot. The two then began to work together where they escaped a number of Badoon patrols sent to capture any survivors. The pair later used the tele-port system where they ended up on Earth where they ended up battling another captive named Major Vance Astro. However, the three humans began to work together against their common foe where they escaped and formed the Guardians of the Galaxy as they planned to liberate the solar system from the alien invaders. (Marvel Super-Heroes v1 #18)
Eventually, the Guardians drove the Badoon from Earth, with Martinex executing their leader Koord, but they were unable to fit in with post-war life on Earth and departed on a mission to explore the galaxy. (Marvel Presents v1 #3)
Eventually, Martinex left the team to begin forming franchise versions of the Guardians, called the Galactic Guardians. (Guardians of the Galaxy v1 #18)
