Korg
Korg is a Kronan, a being made of rock, introduced in the W-Series What-If episode "What If... a Guardian Fell from the Sky?".
Background
Korg comes aboard the Benatar with Thor during the search for Rocket, out of the same encounter with the Asgardian refugee ship. He describes himself as being made of rocks, as anyone can see.
Personality
Korg is unfailingly friendly and entirely unbothered. He greets a stranger who has just been recovered from another universe as though they have met at a party, and when he gives offense he withdraws it instantly and without any evidence of having understood what the offense was.
Series History
W-Series
What If
The What-If episodes are alternate timelines and do not affect the main continuity.
In "What If... a Guardian Fell from the Sky?", Korg is in the corner of the Benatar when Rocket comes back aboard, and what Rocket registers first is rubble in roughly the shape of a person, waving at him. Korg introduces himself, notes his composition, and identifies Rocket as the little raccoon everyone has been so worried about. Rocket objects to little. Korg concedes the point without argument and without conviction.
He is still there when the Benatar clears the rift, one of two new voices added to a crew that never planned on being one.
Key Relationships
Thor
Korg arrives with Thor and stays with him. Between them they are what this universe gives the Guardians in place of the distress signal that never came.
