"That ain't right. I just gotta say this one time, Captain: no matter how many times Quill betrays you, you protect him like none of the rest of us much matter."
―Kraglin Obfonteri to Yondu Udonta[src]

Kraglin Obfonteri is a former Ravager who served as the first mate in the Yondu Ravager Clan. He remained loyal to Yondu Udonta during the hunt for Star-Lord and joined Udonta and the Guardians of the Galaxy fighting Ronan the Accuser in the Battle of Xandar.

However, when Udonta continued to protect Star-Lord, Obfonteri inadvertently started a mutiny led by Taserface. Regretting his actions and how his friends had been killed, Obfonteri helped both Udonta and Rocket escape before assisting in the battle against Ego and helping out the Guardians of the Galaxy in the wake of Udonta's death during the battle.

Nine years later, Obfonteri and his fellow Ravagers were transported to Earth by the Masters of the Mystic Arts in order to aid the Avengers defeat Thanos and his army during the Battle of Earth. Afterwards, Obfonteri became a member of the Guardians. Obfonteri would fight alongside the Guardians and Thor in several missions, including the Battle of Indigarr. However, when news reached them of the campaign of Gorr the God Butcher, the Guardians and Thor went their separate ways, setting out to aid those in need. Operating at Knowhere, Obfonteri continued to practice with his yaka arrow and celebrated Christmas with the Guardians with a visit from Kevin Bacon.

Months later, whilst living on Knowhere, Obfonteri was still struggling to control his yaka arrow, much to the mockery of his acquaintances. When the facility was attacked by Adam Warlock, the rest of the Guardians left Knowhere to save the life of a mortally wounded Rocket Raccoon, leaving Obfonteri and Cosmo in charge until their return. Once they succeeded, Obfonteri piloted Knowhere to the orbit of Counter-Earth to assist in the evacuation of the High Evolutionary's experiments. Knowhere was subsequently breached by an army of Hell Spawn, but were repelled when Obfonteri finally mastered his yaka arrow after being encouraged to use his heart by a vision of Yondu Udonta. Following the battle, many of the Guardians left the team, although Obfonteri stayed on, now serving under the leadership of Rocket Raccoon.

Loyalty to Yondu Udonta[]

Kraglin Obfonteri was born on the planet Xandar. He joined the Ravagers, and became the first mate of the Yondu Ravager Clan, remaining strongly loyal to Yondu Udonta, the leader of the Ravagers.[2]

Overseeing Peter Quill[]

"Pete didn't have much to love growing up, but one thing he did love was telling us all stories about you."
―Kraglin Obfonteri to Kevin Bacon[src]

Obfonteri took a liking to a Terran that Yondu Udonta kidnapped named Peter Quill. Quill often told stories of a hero on Terra named Kevin Bacon. This was one of the things that Quill loved growing up away from Earth.[3]

Christmas Presents[]

Kraglin argues with Yondu Udonta

In December of one year, Peter Quill was excited to show Obfonteri the holiday of Christmas. He set up a tree and presents. However, Yondu Udonta walked in and smashed everything, saying that Christmas turns people soft. Obfonteri took it as the day that Udonta ruined Christmas.[3]

Quest for the Orb[]

The Hunt for Peter Quill[]

"Put a bounty on him! Forty K. But I want him back alive."
"Yeah, Cap!"
Yondu Udonta and Kraglin Obfonteri[src]
Kraglin-YondusOrders-GotG

Obfonteri takes orders from Yondu Udonta

When Obfonteri and the rest of Yondu Ravager Clan arrived on the planet Morag in search of the Orb in order to sell it to the Broker, they discovered to their horror that Peter Quill had gotten there before them and had decided to betray the Ravagers and had stolen the Orb for himself. Once Yondu Udonta had confronted Quill over this and had failed to convince him to bring it back, Obfonteri took his orders from Udonta about finding him, being told to put a bounty on Quill's head.

Obfonteri laughs at Broker's misfortune

The Ravagers then traveled to Xandar in order to confront the Broker, thinking that Quill sold the Orb to him. Udonta initially got distracted by some of the toys Broker had for sale, with Obfonteri then confirming that Udonta was being serious about wanted to decorate with own M-Ship with all the toys when Broker questioned if he was joking or not. However, Udonta then demanded Broker tell them where they could find Quill.

Obfonteri and Yondu Udonta question Broker

Udonta demanded to know who else would be looking to buy the Orb and how much it was worth. When Broker tried to refuse to answer, Udonta mocked and threatened the terrified Broker, causing Obfonteri to laugh at his misfortune. Eventually, under the threat of Udonta's Yaka Arrow being aimed at his head, Broker finally gave them the name and location of the person to whom Broker planned to sell the Orb, the Collector who had a Museum on Knowhere where Quill was likely heading now to meet with the Collector.[2]

Deal with Star-Lord[]

RavagersWelcomePeter

Obfonteri welcomes back Peter Quill

"Welcome home, Peter."
―Kraglin Obfonteri to Peter Quill[src]

When the Yondu Ravager Clan arrived at Knowhere, they soon found Star-Lord, who was attempting to escape. This led to the Skirmish on Knowhere in which the Ravagers lost track of Star-Lord as he battled against Nebula and Sakaarans. However, the Ravagers later captured Quill and Gamora when Quill surrendered to save their lives from suffocating in deep space. With Star-Lord on the Eclector, Obfonteri was first on the scene to welcome Quill back at gunpoint.

KraglinYondu-StarLordsBeating

Obfonteri watches Star-Lord's questioning

Quill was interrogated by Yondu Udonta who threatened to execute Quill for his betrayal, which Obfonteri still supported. During the interrogation, however, a deal was made so that the Ravagers would assist Quill in attacking Ronan the Accuser, who had stolen the Orb and planned to destroy Xandar. Although Obfonteri recommended that Udonta stick with his plan of killing Quill with the Yaka Arrow, it was decided that they should help Quill.

Kraglin-HittingDrax

Obfonteri jokes with Drax the Destroyer

In exchange, the Ravagers would be allowed to keep the Orb after the Battle of Xandar. As the plan was being discussed, Obfonteri noted that there would be hundreds of Sakaarans on board the Dark Aster waiting for them, only for Drax the Destroyer to claim that he viewed the Sakaarans as nothing more than paper people. When Obfonteri hit Drax on the shoulder as a sign that he approved of this, Drax threatened him for even daring to touch him.[2]

Battle of Xandar[]

Guardians Of The Galaxy FBA0649 comp v162

Obfonteri piloting an M-Ship during the battle

"Won't there be hundreds of Sakaaran soldiers inside?"
"I think of Sakaaran as paper people."
―Kraglin Obfonteri and Drax the Destroyer[src]

Obfonteri joined Star-Lord and all the rest of the Guardians of the Galaxy in the battle against Ronan the Accuser and his own soldiers. Obfonteri piloted his M-Ship and helped shoot a hole in the side of Ronan's ship, the Dark Aster, allowing Quill and Yondu Udonta to enter the ship and fight Ronan's soldiers. Once the Star-Lord got inside, with Udonta being shot out of the sky during the skirmish, Obfonteri fought the Sakaarans alongside the Nova Corps who had come to assist them.

Kraglin-ShootingAliens

Obfonteri shoots at the crashing Necrocraft

As the battle raged on, Ronan ordered his ships to dive-bomb the city in order to kill all the Xandarians. In a desperate move to save them, Obfonteri joined Rocket and the other Ravagers to shoot down the Necrocrafts before they hit the ground. With Vorker by his side, Obfonteri moved his M-Ship into position and fired upon the Necrocraft. During the fight, Horuz lost his own life when one of the Necrocraft smashed into his ship right beside Obfonteri.

KraglinYondu-DiscussEgo

Obfonteri and Yondu Udonta discuss Ego

After Ronan was defeated and killed, Obfonteri rejoined Udonta and took possession of the Orb. As they left Xandar, Obfonteri and Udonta discussed whether or not they should have delivered Quill to Ego, like they were hired to do. Obfonteri noted that Quill had grown up to be a good Ravager, so he claimed it was probably a good thing that they did not deliver him to Ego, who Udonta referred to as a jackass as they made their escape.

Kraglin-Celebrates

Obfonteri celebrates the Ravagers' victory

As they traveled through space away from Xandar, Obfonteri joined the his clan in the celebration of their victory by dancing and drinking over the defeat of Ronan and their success at reclaiming the Orb, which they planned to soon sell for billions of units. However, while Obfonteri celebrated with Vorker and all the others, Udonta discovered that Quill had given them a fake Orb and given the real one to the Nova Corps for safekeeping.[2]

Planning a Mutiny[]

Frustration with Yondu[]

Kraglin on Contraxia

Obfonteri on Contraxia

"Seems he's goin' soft."
"If he's so soft, why are you whispering for?"
"You know I'm right, Kraglin."
Taserface and Kraglin Obfonteri[src]

A few months after the Battle of Xandar, the Yondu Ravager Clan went to the Iron Lotus to relax. There, Obfonteri along with his other Ravagers partied with a bunch of Love Bots outside. As Yondu Udonta talked to Stakar Ogord, Taserface shared his thoughts on Udonta going soft and his suggestion that he be their new captain. Obfonteri, though agreeing with Taserface as he believed that Udonta didn't care about the Ravagers anymore, questioned why Taserface was whispering out of Udonta's earshot. Moments later, the Ravagers were approached by Ayesha who hired them to track down the Guardians of the Galaxy, who had stolen Anulax Batteries from them.[4]

Siding with Taserface[]

Obfonteri turns against Yondu Udonta

"I'm the one what sticks up for you!"
"Take it easy, Kraglin."
"Damn straight, lad. He's gone soft."
―Kraglin Obfonteri, Tullk, and Taserface[src]

Yondu Ravager Clan tracked the Guardians of the Galaxy on Berhert, where a few Ravagers fell victim to traps set up by Rocket. The Ravagers eventually stopped Rocket, but when Udonta announced that they were not going to turn over the Guardians and instead sell the Anulax Batteries for a smaller profit, Taserface and some of the Ravagers turned on him. Obfonteri spoke up, saying that Udonta had always had a soft spot for Quill and acted as though the rest of the Ravagers didn't matter. After a tense standoff, Udonta was knocked out by Nebula, and the Ravagers returned to the Eclector.

Due to speaking out against Udonta, Obfonteri arrived to the Eclector where Ravagers who agreed with Udonta were being executed. Being forced to see Tullk, Oblo, and the rest of the Ravagers, Obfonteri was saddened to watch his friends die, as they had already been cast out into space. Taserface then announced himself as captain, and after beating and humiliating Udonta, Rocket made fun of his name and his look.

KraglinGotG2

Obfonteri listens to Nebula's plans

When Nebula announced that she would be leaving, she demanded a cut of the bounty that Ayesha had placed on the Guardians of the Galaxy as well as other equipment. Obfonteri escorted Nebula to an M-Ship after given her a new robotic arm and asked what she was going to do with her cut from the bounty. After Nebula informed Obfonteri of her plan to kill Gamora and Thanos due to the traumatic past she suffered, the unnerved Obfonteri bade her an awkward farewell.[4]

Escape from the Eclector[]

Kraglin gets Yondu's fin

Obfonteri chooses to help Yondu Udonta

"I didn't mean to do a mutiny. They killed all my friends."
―Kraglin Obfonteri to Yondu Udonta[src]

When Groot attempted to free Yondu Udonta and Rocket by retrieving Yaka Arrow Controller but failed, Obfonteri caught him but instead took Groot and the controller to Udonta and Rocket's cell. Giving Udonta the fin, Obfonteri apologized for his unintentional role in the mutiny of Udonta's loyalists being killed by Taserface's loyalists, and, forgiven by Udonta, Obfonteri was ordered to get the third Quadrant ready for departure. Obfonteri, at Rocket's request, played some of Peter Quill's music to draw the Ravagers into a trap by Udonta and Rocket.

Obfonteri being temporarily disfigured

As Udonta, Rocket, and Groot killed the entire clan of Taserface's loyalists, Obfonteri waited for them in the front of the Eclector. When he was joined by the three, Obfonteri disconnected the Quadrant from the rest of the ship and they escaped while the rest of the Eclector blew up, including Taserface, who had informed the Sovereign of their location. Rocket then set course for Ego's which caused their bodies to disfigure temporarily due to the amount of jumping the ship did between planets.[4]

Battle on Ego's Planet[]

"Hey, remember that Ayesha chick?"
Yondu Udonta and Kraglin Obfonteri[src]

When they arrived at Ego's Planet, Obfonteri stayed in the Quadrant while the rest went to rescue the Guardians of the Galaxy. While Obfonteri was eating some soup and listening to some music on the Zune, a fleet of the Omnicrafts approached the planet. He attempted to radio the Guardians and warn them of the second threat, but the transmission was garbled at first due to them digging into Ego's core. By the time he managed to get through, the Omnicrafts had just arrived and started a fight.

Kraglin leaves Ego

Obfonteri departs from Ego

Obfonteri flew down to the planet to retrieve the Guardians. As he went to open the door for Drax who was carrying an unconscious Mantis, Ego attacked the ship causing it to tip over and nearly crush Drax and Mantis. Obfonteri managed to turn on the ship's thrusters and stabilized the ship so the two could get on the ship. As the planet was about to explode, Gamora and Nebula joined Obfonteri on the ship followed by Rocket and Groot. Not being able to stay near the planet, Obfonteri flew the ship away while Quill and Udonta were still on the surface.[4]

Yondu Udonta's Death[]

"Thanks, Captain."
Star-Lord and Kraglin Obfonteri[src]

After they retrieved Yondu Udonta's body from space, Obfonteri and the Guardians of the Galaxy held a funeral for him. After the funeral, Obfonteri gave Peter Quill a Zune, which Udonta found, telling him that it had over three hundred songs on it. Quill then gave Obfonteri the Yaka Arrow as he believed Udonta would want him to have it, to which Obfonteri thanked and acknowledged Quill as his new captain.[4] Obfonteri then told Quill how to use the Zune, as well as give some recommendations of songs he liked.[5]

Suddenly, all the other Ravager factions appeared to give Udonta a farewell, causing Obfonteri to burst out into tears.[4] Later, Obfonteri practiced using the Yaka Arrow along with a controller, but ended up stabbing Drax in the chest, causing him to wisely retreat.[6] Sometime later, Obfonteri left the Guardians to lead the Ravagers.[4]

Battle of Earth[]

In 2023, Obfonteri, now using a new silver Yaka Arrow Controller, was transported to Earth along with a handful of Ravagers and their ships through an Inter-Dimensional Portal conjured by the Masters of the Mystic Arts. Obfonteri led the Ravagers into the battle against an alternate Thanos and his army. After the battle had ended, Obfonteri and the Ravagers returned to space.[7]

"What did we tell you about jumpin' into new relationships?"
"That I shouldn't be doing that."
"Yeah, you can't get married on every single planet we land on."
Star-Lord and Kraglin Obfonteri[src]

By 2025, Obfonteri left the Ravagers and joined the Guardians of the Galaxy, integrating himself into their team. Obfonteri went on various missions with them, protecting various planets. Using his original Yaka Arrow Controller, Obfonteri failed while trying to use the Yaka Arrow. On each planet, he would frequently get married to a new person. While he and the Guardians were fighting creatures in a swamp, Thor sat by and watched them.[8]

Battle of Indigarr[]

―Kraglin Obfonteri and Star-Lord[src]

That spring, Obfonteri and the Guardians of the Galaxy went to Indigarr, after Thor told them it would be a relaxing holiday, and they were also accompanied by Korg, Thor's friend. However, the Guardians took the initiative to fight off the invading forces of Habooska the Horrible and protect the Indigarrians. While this happened, Obfonteri kept watch over the Benatar and met an Indigarrian named Glenda, whom he married.

After Thor fought off the invading army, Obfonteri surprised the Guardians by introducing Glenda as his wife, which made Groot amused by Glenda's face. For marrying, Obfonteri was reprimanded by Peter Quill for having found another romantic relationship. They then received a numerous distress calls of different planet's gods being murdered by someone named the God Butcher. Quill suggested they split up, but Thor wanted to go help his friend and thought he should go separately from them.[8]

Answering Distress Calls[]

Thor and Korg decided to depart from the Guardians of the Galaxy as they planned to help the rest of the distress calls. Before leaving, Obfonteri said goodbye to Glenda, and went to start the Benatar as Peter Quill spoke with Thor. They then left Indigarr and traveled through a Jump Point to attend to the other distress calls.[8]

Operating from Knowhere[]

Buying Knowhere[]

"I just saw on the Multi-calendar that right now on Earth, it's almost Christmastime. So, yeah, it kind of brings back some memories."
―Kraglin Obfonteri[src]

The Guardians of the Galaxy bought Knowhere from the Collector to rebuild it after it was destroyed by Thanos. They were also joined by a superpowered dog named Cosmo and they acquired a new ship as their main source of transportation. In December 2025, Obfonteri told the story of how Yondu Udonta ruined the Christmas of Peter Quill to Mantis, Drax the Destroyer and Nebula, after looking at the Multi-calendar remembering that on Earth it was almost the Christmastime. Afterwards, Obfonteri and Nebula returned to their work in repairing Knowhere.[3]

Christmas Celebration[]

"You saved a town through dancing. And once, Pete saved the whole galaxy with dancing. For real. You taught him how to be a hero, and now he might just be the greatest hero alive. Mant and these dopes, they was just hoping you'd bring the joy of Christmas back into his heart, is all."
―Kraglin Obfonteri to Kevin Bacon[src]

Obfonteri was then told by Mantis that she wanted to throw a Christmas party to cheer Peter Quill up. They decorated Knowhere which pleased an amazed Quill. However, his demeanor changed when he saw that Mantis kidnapped Kevin Bacon.

Obfonteri took Bacon onto the Bowie and apologized, saying that Quill had always told stories of Bacon when he grew up, even when he did not love very many things. Bacon asked what the thing was on Obfonteri's head. Obfonteri explained it, but admitted that he was not very good at the arrow part. Bacon then got a call from his wife. Confused on how he had service, Obfonteri explained that they had satellites that reached up to 400 million lightyears away.

Bacon then decided to stay to teach people about Christmas, realizing how much it meant to Quill. Bacon sang with Bzermikitokolok and the Knowheremen as they celebrated Christmas, where Cosmo joyously gave a dead creature to Kraglin as present, to which Kraglin gently patted her on the head. Groot gave everyone presents as Obfonteri put a bow on his Yaka Arrow Controller. He then opened up the present, happy to see it was a wood sculpture of him opening up that exact present. When it was all over, they hugged Bacon before Obfonteri took him back to Earth.[3]

Attack on Rocket[]

"Telekinesis is cheating! That's a stupid little pebble. I can do that with my dang finger. You're a bad dog."
"Do not say that to me."
―Kraglin Obfonteri and Cosmo[src]

By 2026, Obfonteri was still living on Knowhere alongside his fellow Guardians of the Galaxy. He frequently struggled to control his Yaka Arrow, causing him to be mocked by other Knowhere residents. On one incident, Obfonteri failed to master the Yaka Arrow and instead non-fatally stabbed Nebula in the chest, annoying the latter. While Cosmo showcased her telekinesis and controlled a pebble to hit all the targets, Obfonteri was upset and said that using telekinesis was cheating, calling Cosmo a bag dog, which insulted her.

Kraglin V3

Obfonteri hides from Adam Warlock

Suddenly, Adam Warlock attacked Knowhere to retrieve Rocket for High Evolutionary. During the attack, Obfonteri once again tried using his Yaka Arrow to surprise Warlock and although he managed to successfully hit him, the arrow did no damage. Obfonteri's confidence was broken when Warlock insulted the attacker. Once the other Guardians eventually repelled Warlock, they were met with a new challenge; the injuries to Rocket. They left Knowhere to find a way to save Rocket's life, leaving Obfonteri and Cosmo in charge of Knowhere until their return. During the absence of the other Guardians, Obfonteri, Cosmo, Bzermikitokolok, the Broker, Howard the Duck, Steemie Blueliver and Gridlemop were playing cards, during which Cosmo complained that even the Soviets who put her into space did not call her a bad dog, and repeatedly asked for Obfonteri to take back the insult, to which he refused, annoying all of his friends who begged him to take it back.[1]

Attack on Arête Laboratories[]

"Spaceport wide open, Cap'n, but that old missile's all we had."
―Kraglin Obfonteri to Star-Lord[src]

Obfonteri finally heard back from the Guardians of the Galaxy, who had saved Rocket's life. The Guardians requested for Obfonteri to pilot Knowhere to the orbit of Counter-Earth for assistance. Once they arrived, Obfonteri and Steemie Blueliver fired at Arête Laboratories and caused great damage to the ship. Later, Obfonteri, Cosmo, Blueliver, and the residents of Knowhere assisted in the evacuation of the High Evolutionary's experiments from Arête Laboratories. Seeing this, the High Evolutionary sent his army of Hell Spawn to attack Knowhere. The Hell Spawn began breaching the surface of the head and attacking the residents.

Obfonteri finally masters the Yaka Arrow

Seeing the danger, Obfonteri decided to use his Yaka Arrow one more time. Although he still struggled, he saw an illusion of Yondu Udonta in the distance, telling him to use his heart. This inspired Obfonteri to finally master the Yaka Arrow, which he used to cut down dozens of Hell Spawn and successfully repel the attack. After killing all other Hell Spawn, Obfonteri was then confronted by Behemoth, but accidentally embedded the Yaka Arrow into a wall and was unable to pull it out in time. He was then saved by Cosmo and her telekinesis, who killed Behemoth. This made Obfonteri admit she was a good dog after all, much to Cosmo's joy.[1]

Recruiting Adam Warlock[]

This section needs a rewrite

After the defeat of High Evolutionary, Star-Lord and Mantis left the Guardians, and Gamora rejoined her Ravager family. On Knowhere, Rocket Raccoon, Groot, Drax, Nebula, Obfonteri and Cosmo danced in celebration with the rescued Star Children, with Obfonteri shouting to the sky in joy.[1] After the celebration, while the Knowhere residents were cleaning the battlefield and offering refuge and food to the rescued test subjects and children, Obfonteri poured water for the children, and walked over to Adam Warlock, who was sitting on a corner with a blanket on him. Giving him a cup of water, Obfonteri asked him his name, and he replied 'Adam'. Unhappy with his name as it was not a hero name, Obfonteri proposed Adam to get himself a cool name, suggesting Adam to think about it, and left.[9]

The New Guardians[]

Battle of Krylor[]

Kraglin talks about Earth music

Obfonteri gives his opinion on music

"Well... I can handle this by my lonesome if you all wanna chill."
―Kraglin Obfonteri[src]

Now serving under the leadership of Rocket Raccoon, Obfonteri remained as a member of the new Guardians of the Galaxy, also consisting of Groot, Cosmo, Adam Warlock, Phyla and Blurp. The new Guardians found themselves on Krylor, defending a settlement from a stampede of creatures. Prior to the battle, the Guardians discussed their favorite artists and bands on Rocket's Zune. Soon enough, they found themselves charging at the incoming stampede, with Obfonteri utilizing his newly-mastered Yaka Arrow in the process.[1]

Personality[]

This section needs a rewrite

Kraglin is a devoutly loyal Ravager, placing great faith in his captain Yondu Udonta. Being his first mate, he followed every order given to him, although he felt jealous at the treatment Peter Quill received. His loyalty never wavered, even when Taserface usurped control of their faction; Kraglin bid his time until he could free Yondu and avenge the members of their clan that Taserface murdered. When he received Yondu's Yaka Arrow, he took it with pride, crying that Quill felt Yondu thought so highly of him. When Yondu sacrificed himself to save Peter Quill and was given a proper Ravager funeral, regaining the honor and respect from other Ravagers, Kraglin became very emotional, showing his loyalty to Yondu and how glad Kraglin was when seeing Yondu finally being accepted again. Kraglin's loyalty is demonstrated further by accepting Peter Quill as his new captain once the latter joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. He would then be a part of the new Guardians, now led by Rocket Raccoon and once again followed his leadership without question, even waiting for Rocket's orders before making a move during a battle.

Kraglin is also a heroic person. He joined the fight against Thanos in the Battle of Earth. After the Battle of Earth, Kraglin joined the Guardians of the Galaxy and became acquainted with them. Throughout their adventures across the galaxy, Kraglin developed a close bonding with all other team members, as shown when they exchanged presents in a heartwarming Christmas celebration held in Knowhere with the actor Kevin Bacon. He is also kind to his fellow members, as seen when he gently patted Cosmo when the latter gave him a dead creature as a present which he apparently didn’t like. He also had a strong bonding with Peter Quill, not just because he had known Quill since Quill was a child, but also the fact that they had been through many battles together. Of all the relationships, Kraglin maintained the closest friendship with Cosmo. Although Kraglin was jealous that Cosmo could use telekinesis better than he could manipulate the Yaka Arrow and called her a bad dog, Kraglin later conceded and finally admitted that she was good when they fought side by side against the Hell Spawn. The two later also joined the new roster of the Guardians.

After inheriting Yondu's Yaka Arrow after Yondu's death, Kraglin was always unable to master the arrow and use it to its fullest, sometimes hurting his teammates and unable to deal enough damage to enemies such as Adam Warlock. This was because he did not put enough faith in himself to carry on his captain's legacy, reflecting that Kraglin was not confident enough. Kraglin always struggled to follow Yondu's footsteps and become as powerful as his captain was, as Kraglin would doubt whether he could become who Yondu once was. After being encouraged by a vision of Yondu to use his heart to control the arrow, Kraglin was finally able to believe in himself, and not just following Yondu's footsteps but truly finding himself. Thus, he could gain mastery over the power that the arrow bestowed.
