The Imperial Guard is a legion of superpowered champions who protect and defend the Shi'ar galactic empire. Edit
Origin
=======
The Imperial Guard was formed centuries ago when a man named Rook'Shir, who wielded the power of the phoenix in his blade, was ravaging the Shi'ar Empire. They ultimately defeated him and hunted down his descendants, as they are the only ones able to wield the blade.
Its members are drawn both from the Shi'ar and other alien races governed by the Shi'ar. The majority of the Imperial Guard's members are known as Borderers. They assist the governors of conquered planets in enforcing the Shi'ar imperial law.
The Imperial Guardsmen however belong to the elite corps that protects the ruler of the empire, known as the Majestor or Majestrix, and executes his or her orders. The praetor(leader) of this elite corps is Gladiator, the most powerful member of the entire Imperial Guard.
D'Ken
The duty of the Imperial Guard is to serve the monarch of the Shi'ar, no matter who it may be. The Guardsmen once aided the mad emperor D'Ken against his rebellious sister Lilandra, but when Lilandra succeeded D'Ken as ruler, the Guard switched their loyalty to her.
Guard Shattered
During a fight with Vulcan the Imperial Guard suffered many casualties. Those who died in the fight were: Smasher,Hobgoblin,Cosmos, Neutron,Titan, Impulse,. Oracle and Nightshade were severely injured but they may have survived the battle. Gladiator, Scintilla, Manta, Earthquake, Mentor, and Flashfire survived the battle but the status of the guard is unknown,
