Drax fulfilled his cosmic purpose in the MCU.
The MCU and Marvel Comics depictions of Drax the Destroyer are two wildly different characters with only a few key similarities, with the most obvious being their shared desire to kill Thanos at all costs. However, there is another similarity between them that not many MCU fans caught, as the live-action version of Drax actually fulfilled the cosmic purpose assigned to his comic book counterpart .
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Drax the Destroyer was a being created from the vengeful soul of a father who’d lost his family because of Thanos, as his spirit was inserted into an indestructible body crafted by Kronos himself, turning him into a living weapon designed to do one thing: kill Thanos.
Drax Is the Avatar of Life In the six-part miniseries The Thanos Imperative by Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, and Miguel Sepulveda, the idea of the Avatars of Life and Death have never been more significant. The series shows the beings of the Cancerverse breaching through a cosmic rift into Earth-616, and Thanos is the only one who can stop them.
Drax Is Thanos' Cosmic Opposite Drax nearly destroyed two universes by attacking Thanos, and his position as the Avatar of Life was to blame. While something similar happened in MCU’s Avengers: Infinity War, when Drax couldn’t help but attack Thanos on Knowhere, the more significant parallels between Drax’s very prominent position as the Avatar of Life as shown in the Thanos Imperative and his untitled role as such in the MCU is far more positive.
The idea of the Avatar of Life was never officially introduced in the MCU, and it was certainly never bestowed upon Drax. However, Drax still became a champion of life before and after Thanos was defeated, and he did so just by being himself. Therefore, even if he didn’t know it, Drax the Destroyer fulfilled his cosmic purpose as the Avatar of Life in the MCU.
