The Aakons[2], also known as Aakonians, are an extraterrestrial race of hairless yellow-skinned humanoids that are spread throughout the galaxy. They are the inhabitants of the planet of the same name.
History[]
The Aakons developed on the planet Aakon and later spread across the galactic community. A vast number of Aakons also resides on Xandar, on the Nova Empire, and some of the members of their race are members of the Nova Corps. There are also Aakons on Knowhere and in the ranks of the space-pirates Ravagers.[3]
In 2014, during Ego's Expansion, one of the seeds planted by Ego on Aakon started to expand, causing massive destruction and havoc on the planet and the death of many Aakons citizens. The Expansion was later stopped by the Guardians of the Galaxy.[4]
Characteristic Traits[]
The Aakons share most of the characteristics of many prominent humanoid species in the galaxy. They have bright yellow skin and total absence of hair on their bodies, and some of them also feature skin scratches similar to scars. Yellow irises are also very common among the species. Some Aakons use extended makeup and wigs as a form of fashion.
