An alternate timeline version of the Guardians of the Galaxy appears in the Ultimate Universe imprint. This version of the group originates from the 61st century, an utopian future in which about 250,000 Guardians protect millions of worlds, integrating the Shi'ar Imperial Guard to their ranks. The Guardians consist of Captain Marvel, Star-Lord, Ultimate Nullifier, and Cosmo Starstalker as well as Starhawk, Yondu, Charlie-27, Aleta Ogord, Martinex, an unidentified Captain Universe, Star Brand, Gladiator, Fang, Hobgoblin, Magique, Manta, and Starbolt. America Chavez was previously a member of the Guardians until she was displaced in time and rendered amnesiac. Following a battle with Kang the Conqueror's forces, many of the Guardians members are lost across time, with the remaining Guardians traveling throughout time to find them.[1][2]
During the events of "Ultimate Endgame", the Guardians of the Galaxy assist in fighting the Maker's forces, transporting them to another dimension.[3]
