Bug did not make any further appearances until 2007. At this point he appeared alone, without any of the other Microns, as a prisoner of the alien race the [[Kree]]. He was then recruited into a hastily assembled covert team led by [[Star-Lord]]. His activities at this point were depicted in the [[Limited series (comics)|limited series]], ''Annihilation: Conquest - Star-Lord'' and in the subsequent limited series ''Annihilation: Conquest''. He was then a recurring character in the second volume of ''[[Guardians of the Galaxy (2008 team)|Guardians of the Galaxy]]'', which spun out of the events portrayed in ''Annihilation: Conquest''. | Bug did not make any further appearances until 2007.

Although Bug was not a founding member of the "modern" Guardians team, [[Rocket Raccoon]] asked him to join when the original group disbanded after some internal misunderstandings. Bug agreed, and fought alongside the Guardians as they attempted to stop the [[Shi'ar]]-[[Kree]] interstellar conflict known as the [[War of Kings]]. Although they failed, Bug stayed with the Guardians as they dealt with the war's aftermath in the [[Realm of Kings]] storyline through the series' end with issue #25 in 2010. Bug appeared as a member of the Guardians in ''[[Avengers Assemble (comics)|Avengers Assemble]]'' issues #4-8 in 2012. Bug appeared in flashback to talk to [[Moondragon]] in a bar in ''Guardians of the Galaxy'' (2020) issue #5. | Although Bug was not a founding member of the "modern" Guardians team, [[Rocket Raccoon]] asked him to join when the original group disbanded after some internal misunderstandings.
