Ronan is one of many who are seeking the Orb.

Guardians of the Galaxy
On the Dark Aster, Ronan was awoken from his bloodbath to receive news from Korath that Star-Lord had retrieved the Orb, prompting Ronan to send his apprentice Nebula to pursue him, only for Gamora to instead volunteer. After Gamora is imprisoned in the Kyln, Ronan is called into Sanctuary, where he arrives with Nebula. Ronan kills The Other and declares Gamora a traitor, leading Thanos into ordering her subjugation.

Ronan arrives at Knowhere after responding to Drax's call, challenging him to a fight. As Rocket, Gamora, and Quill escape in mining ships as Nebula pursues them, Ronan severely beats Drax, stating that he doesn't recall killing his family, nor will he remember killing Drax, and throws him into a vat of preserve fluids. Nebula receives the Orb and leaves Gamora for dead in space, leading into her and Quill being abducted by the Ravagers.

Aboard the Dark Aster, Ronan absorbs the energy of the Orb, transferring it to his warhammer. He then contacts Thanos, informing the warlord that he is no longer part of the deal, promising to destroy Xandar himself before coming for Thanos personally. Once his ship reaches Xandar only to be met by an enormous smokescreen courtesy of the Ravagers, Ronan soon orders his fighters to kamikaze the city, all the while hiding within his control chamber.

The Guardians finally confront Ronan, who is found to be nigh-invincible due to the power of the Orb, although he is quickly pummeled by the Milano. As the ship goes down Groot sacrifices himself to protect the group, who all survive only to oncemore be met by Ronan.

As Ronan begins to monologue, he is humurously distracted by a dancing Quill long enough to be shot by Rocket's cannon by Drax, destroying his warhammer and he is finally defeated when the Guardians channel the energy of the Orb into Ronan, disintegrating and killing him.
