I like to look at a lot of different fictional universes and compare them do Destiny. I know Guardians definitely aren't the strongest characters in fiction, not by a long shot, but if you were to pit, say a Sentinel Titan up against Captain America, who do you think would win? There are a lot of other comparisons I could make as well.

Please note: all of the proceeding star wars is based on pre-Disney canon not post-Disney canon(this immediately invalidates any argument that this post may start which has a basis in post-Disney canon) (I hate having to add such things as that in the prior parinthetical buble) Give me a mandalorian with a past as a Jedi and sith with a full suit of beskargam (mandalorian iron for those not as steeped in the star wars universe as I) and the guardians, master chief, and captain America each would have one heck of a fight.
