Gunn is more awesome than any one character has any business being :)
But seriously? He really is just an amazing character, especially for being one that got ignored largely by both the fanbase and the writers. Like, he went from being kind of this nihilistic and self-destructive hardass protector (SO MUCH with the death wish) to being a guy who was willing to compromise a lot of personal integrity to do the largest amount of good to being a guy who was willing to take his punishment because it was just to fighting and not dying nope nope nope not dying to fight the big bad one last time. And through it all he was funny and hot and smarter than anyone gave him credit for, innovative and clever and honorable and well-meaning, and he liked movies and thought Denzel Washington was robbed of an Oscar for Malcolm X and is awesome at Risk.
And and and he never ever lost sight of the mission or of what his role in that mission was. Never *once*. His cause was doing good and protecting people the best he could and he did it and never forgot that's what he was supposed to be doing.

And *that* is why Gunn is awesome.
