The Annihilators are a fictional team appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. They are a group of powerful space-based characters from various alien races. They act as a deterrence to galactic war.
The team first assembled in The Thanos Imperative: Devastation one-shot (Jan 2011). They starred in a four-issue eponymous limited series, along with a Groot/Rocket Raccoon co-feature that was previously announced as a separate limited series.
A second 4-issue limited series, Annihilators: Earthfall, began in September 2011 and concluded in December 2011.
After a string of galactic-level threats (the Annihilation Wave, the Phalanx's Conquest of the Kree, the War of Kings, and the Cancerverse invasion), Cosmo tries to fulfill the dream of his deceased friend and former Guardian of the Galaxy, Star-Lord, by assembling a proactive team to stop threats before the universe is in danger. He recruits the most powerful individuals he knows: the human Quasar, the Kree Ronan the Accuser, the Shi'ar Gladiator, the Korbinite Beta Ray Bill, and Herald of Galactus Silver Surfer. Each of them is initially resistant to the idea, but agree to join after they work together to defend Kree territory from Blastaar.
