Who Is Bug The Micronaut from Guardians of the Galaxy?

Bug the Micronaut wasn’t a key member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, but he was fun to have on the team.

He was added to the team after a minor team shakeup during writer Dan Abnett’s run. Rocket brought in new members, including Bug, when other Guardians went their separate ways.

Even though he doesn’t bring a lot to the table, Bug has been known to lighten the mood.
His comedic humor could be just what the third Guardians movie needs, after the second movie ended with Groot returning to his normal size and Rocket experiencing a bit of a setback.

Bug And The Microverse

Bug first appeared in 1979’s debut issue of the Micronauts. He was from the planet of Kalikak in the Microverse. Known as both a thief and comedian, he was always a professional in action.
He formed a lasting friendship with his teammate Acroyear, despite their vastly different personalities.

In fact, Acroyear’s friendship with Bug may have been one of the main reasons why he started to question the cold, calculating warrior ethic that dominated his people.

In the first issue we find Acroyear and Bug in the Yard of the Gladiators along with other political prisoners. They were gathered there by the evil Baron Karza’s soldiers to practice for gladatorial games.

The duo then met Arcturus Rann when they were assembled in the gladiator colosseum. There they encountered a pulse-firing death tank.

While Acroyear attacked the tank’s wheels, Bug courageously vaulted up on top of the death tank and lobbed a packet bomb into its eye slits.

Bug, Acroyear and Rann escaped in a getaway vehicle piloted by Marionette, another political prisoner. The quartet joined forces with robots Microtron and Biotron as they escape Homeworld in a starship. Biotron piloted their craft around the edges of the Microverse.

Their ship, the HMS Endeavor, made its way to Earth. There, they found themselves in the backyard of an average American home.

They soon learned how much larger things are on Earth. Shortly after they left their ship, they met a puppy that Microtron attacked. They also encountered a manual lawn mower that runs over Acroyear and Bug.
