If you don't mind I'd like to ask a couple of simpler questions for practice. I noticed that the Black Order clearly has both an extremely powerful armada and skilled tacticians, since the only two known planets to drive them off, with drastically different technological and military capabilities mark you, were successful because of unexpected variables, those being a titan sized Cybertronian and a suprise superhero team combined with Erik Selvig subconsciously sabotaging the portal and a whole lotta luck. As awesome as the avengers are there are definitely alien militarys capable of greater planetary defence, but the point is that earth was considered a backwater with the greatest challenge being a potential Thor being sent by an Asgard sans functioning Bifrost. That'sy new headcanon why they attacked through a sky portal, so they could just drop an army on Thor's head and overwhelm him before continuing the Decimation. With that being said, are there any planets that could possibly defend against a full attack from the black order (sans Thanos to be fair) if given a bit of time to prepare? I'm thinking Homeworld, maybe Asgard, and whilst I'm sure a lot of people consider/hope Xandar and Hala are on that list I'm not so sure.

Question 2, do any of the Nine Realms have sorcerer supremes, and who (without spoilers if that's possible) could be considered a possibile future sorcerer supreme? I've thought about Douxie and Claire, Gwen Tennyson, Jentry Chau (though she probably wouldn't want the position), Steven Universe, Sadie or Carter Kane, and Mabel, because as we all know the strongest magic of all is Mabel.

Yeah, I gathered as much, just wanted to talk about it for everyone's benefit since I haven't mentioned it in recent times!

To your first question, there's a few fortress worlds out there that could potentially fend off an attack from the Black Order, but not many. For the most part, you're talking homeworlds of the more prominent and well off species in the Nova Empire, as well as the most strategically valuable bastions for the Kree. I would also add that even when it comes to those worlds, their ability to fend off Thanos's forces would be contingent on speedy reinforcements - even Xandar and Hala themselves aren't well defended enough to just shrug off the Sanctuary worldship's assault without some serious back-up (and a lot of expected casualties, regardless).

Asgard is immune to attack from the Black Order because it does not exist in the material world. It exists in a higher plane of existence (not exactly like the Fourth World mythos of DC, but similar enough). The only way Thanos could assault it is by acquiring both the Space and Reality stones.

Homeworld is also immune to attack because it exists in another galaxy altogether. The Galvan Transportation Network (or warp network, coloquially) that the Milky Way denizens rely on for FTL travel does not extend past the galactic rim. Its colonies in the Milky Way also don't get attacked because there's...no point. By the time the Gems are done with a planet, there are literally no resources left for the Decimation to be "effective". I would assume Thanos would use the Stones to eliminate the Gems altogether (or at least banish them from the Milky Way).

To your second question, officially speaking there is only one Sorcerer Supreme per universe (Strange being the current one here, of course). The office, such as it is, is held by a single individual, who tends to act as a magnet and beacon for supernatural troubles - for example, Dormammu is drawn to Earth because the Sorcerer Supreme is on Earth. In practice, though, most worlds with any significant magical presence usually develop local analogues. I doubt we'll meet many, but I'll try to introduce a couple at least down the line.

Dragon ball fans: NoooOoOO, what's the point of including dragon ball if you don't include the extremely op and somehow both over and under explained power system!1!!111!!

Goku: haha universe full of opponents and challenges go brrr.

Before anyone gets angry it's me, I'm dragon ball fans, reading that the average Saiyan warrior is city level inflicted minor psychic pain, but I've commented on other fics that a good story (which you've made) is more important than accurate power scaling, and I can only be so hypocritical.

I haven't played the GotG game, but I do own it, and I watched a let's play of it up to a point. What I saw seemed pretty great, I just got distracted watching something else. It's in my backlog, haha.

The Ravagers are the biggest pirate association in the galaxy; they keep mostly to Wild Space (the ungoverned "north" of the galaxy) but routinely make incursions into both Nova and Kree space. Unlike real life Earth pirates, they're kinda like the idealized Pirates of the Caribbean version, where for the most part they have a code they stick to and generally don't engage in the killing of innocents or robbing the less fortunate. Basically, if you aren't rich or space-important, you don't have much to fear from them.

The Collector does what he does. He collects things. He lives in Knowhere (and some say he personally slew the Celestial whose head makes up the space station, though that's definitely unconfirmed and might just be propaganda), he runs the Tivan Mining Corporation, and he pays exorbitant sums for unique items to display in his non-Euclidian space museum. His procurement network also doubles as a spy network, for which he serves as an information broker. (he is also unaware of his TOH counterpart, since the Boiling Isles exist in a different dimension altogether).

The High Evolutionary...discussing him involves a lot of spoilers. But you can trust he's still making his amoral experiments. My plans for him predate GotG3, so don't expect the same circumstances, but they do exist on a similar level of awful (and include crossover elements).

I'll keep it brief with the (main) members of the GotG:

-Peter Quill / Star-Lord: close to MCU canon. Independent outlaw with a very inconsistent but still notorious record. Former Ravager (not by choice). His ancestry is...different in the Kverse.

-Gamora: still a "daughter" of Thanos (also not by choice). Desperately trying to figure out how to kill him (while still killing in droves in his name to keep up appearances). Nebula's on a similar kick, but she wants to kill Thanos because he personally wronged her, not for the greater good. She doesn't really care about the people the Black Order kills atp.

-Rocket & Groot: part of the Bounty Hunter's Guild (much to everyone's chagrin). Shockingly effective (and destructive, he gets penalized often). Groot joined him recently (and still takes a cut of the earnings, despite not having anything to spend on, to Rocket's annoyance).

-Drax: in Nova jail for life (yeah, right) 'cause he rammed his personal starship into the bridge of a Nova battlecruiser and killed most of the crew in a blind rage when its captain ordered a retreat from a Nova world lost to the Black Order. Used to fly around chasing and killing Black Order scouts all over the galaxy. Had a Chitauri-killing partner from Earth...

It doesn't work like a battery, haha. As long as their rage and despair remains, they will provide infinite regeneration - effectively, the conditions of the curse are to remain tethered to Vilgax's form until their wrath subsides, which would only happen if he succeeds in killing Thanos (or if there's hope for the Chimera to return, but that wasn't a possibility in their mind at the time).

Mostly from what I remember battlebeast is cursed to be fueled by the combined rage of his species

Species is not necessarily tied with post-life existence! When that happens it’s usually because they have a worldwide theocratic form of government, but DNA has no effect on your fate.
