The Collector Guardians of the Galaxy Character Poster

The Collector is a fictional character that appears in publications from Marvel Comics. He is portrayed by Benicio Del Toro in a mid-credits scene in the Marvel Studios film Thor: The Dark World and in the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy, part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe franchise.

The Collector possesses the ability to manipulate cosmic energy for a variety of effects, including projecting concussive force beams, and the increasing of his size and mass (and hence physical strength) at will. The Collector has a vast knowledge and comprehension of the advanced science and technology of numerous alien worlds, as well as a collection of devices and artifacts from those worlds. He formerly possessed the Infinity Gem that could control reality, but he did not understand its power.
