Originally from the world Sanyassa, the Marauders are a species of barbaric, two-meter-plus tall humanoids that prey upon the more peaceful inhabitants of Endor's forest moon.

According to the Marauders section, "Where there is killing, where there is chaos, where there is mayhem, there is always something else: Marauders." Further, it tells us, "They embody the deadly combination of sycophant and killer," and that, "In the absence of goodness and mercy there are Marauders." This smacks of bad fan-fiction, frankly.

Just like the marauders from the steppes of Asia had iron weapons before the more "civilized" nations (Egypt, Babylon, and the like), so the Bronze Age of comics began with the pulp magazines of the war years, but only displace the Stone Age in the 1920s, when the pulps really took off.
This was a huge leap forward for comics, showing that they were not afraid of censorship and were willing to tackle the difficult issues and had the power to do so.
When you consider that 75% of comics are crap, according to Christopher Butcher's April 7 entry, well, 75% of the stuff in the 1940s and 1960s was crap too.

 Faith in superheroes
Their disdain of evil may be the same as that of other superpowered beings, but the heroes of the Guardian Line are just as likely to quote the Bible as they are to put a righteous "kablooey" on the bad guys.
At Samurai Comics in Phoenix, readers would be hard-pressed to notice Guardian's Christian judgments by the comics' covers.
