History:
(Guardians of the Galaxy I#17 (fb) - BTS/Guardians of the Galaxy I#19 (fb) - BTS) <3015> - Shortly after the Guardians of the Galaxy left Earth a consortium (actually the Badoon Durgg and Durge) introduced Realitee-Vee, a virtual reality that brought viewers directly into the program. The technology secretly emitted a highly addictive narcotic gas, which kept people in front of their sets until they died of starvation or lack of sleep. Most of humanity died, but the young survivors took to the streets in endless gang wars. After over a year the Punishers (working for the Badoon Durgg and Durge) were victorious in Manhattan, New York City.

(Guardians of the Galaxy I#19) <3018> - A Badoon watched through cameras the arrival of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Commandeers and Talon at the Saltex Project in the Bronx, the refinery used to pump the narcotic gas to every major city on Earth. The Badoon told his underling (either the other Badoon or the Punisher General) not to underestimate the Guardians. Durgg and Durge soon confronted the Guardians and their allies to reveal that they were behind Realitee-Vee and the Punishers all along. The Guardians and Commandeers surrendered when Belle of the Commandeers threatened to kill Charlie 27 after revealing herself to be an undercover agent for the Punishers. Durgg ordered the Punishers to kill the Guardians of the Galaxy and Commandeers.

(Guardians of the Galaxy I#20) - Durgg was shocked when Major Victory (Vance Astro) arrived with Captain America's shield to aid the Guardians and Commandeers against the Punishers. Nikki turned on the two Badoon and shot Durgg in the head and then his "dog".

Comments: Created by Jim Valentino & Steve Montano.

It is impossible to tell which of the two Badoon observed the Guardians' arrival because only the hand of the Badoon was soon.

(Guardians of the Galaxy I#19) <3018> - A Badoon watched through cameras the arrival of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Commandeers and Talon at the Saltex Project in the Bronx, the refinery used to pump the narcotic gas to every major city on Earth. The Badoon told his underling (either the other Badoon or the Punisher General) not to underestimate the Guardians. Durgg and Durge soon confronted the Guardians and their allies to reveal that they were behind Realitee-Vee and the Punishers all along. The Guardians and Commandeers surrendered when Belle of the Commandeers threatened to kill Charlie 27 after revealing herself to be an undercover agent for the Punishers. Durgg ordered the Punishers to kill the Guardians of the Galaxy and Commandeers.

(Guardians of the Galaxy I#20) - Durge realized Nikki had turned her attention to him and Durgg and watched Durgg get shot in the head. Durge and the Punisher General fled the scene and took the Ultimate Punisher tank to escape, but Hollywood tossed the tank through the air before Krugarr caught it. Charlie 27 then asked Krugarr to teleport the tank and his allies to the heart of the refinery. Trapped inside the tank Durge tried to contact his Badoon brethren. The Punisher General shot Durge dead when the Guardians threatened to detonate a nuclear device outside the tank.
