Notes:

In his reality, Vance Astrovik never manifested his mutant abilities before departing for the stars. With his body specially preserved in a containment suit to travel to another galaxy, Vance Astro's mental powers slowly emerged over the journey. When he traveled into the past, Vance Astro encountered his younger self in Marvel Two-In-One #69, triggering the teenaged Astrovik's powers much earlier than the Guardian's. This created an alternate timeline where young Vance became the Avenger and New Warrior known as Justice.

Strictly speaking, Major Victory and the Guardians of Earth-691 haven't appeared since 1996. A version of Vance Astro joined the present-day Guardians after Annihilation: Conquest and another visited the present in Guardians 3000, but they seemed to have different histories and may have been divergent incarnations of the original Guardians.
