Peter Jason Quill was born in 1980 to Meredith Quill and Ego, making him a hybrid of human and Celestial. His conception was all part of a plot set up by his father to produce a second Celestial, whose power he could use to complete the Expansion, which involved assimilating millions of worlds into Ego's very being. Peter was only one in thousands of different children that Ego conceived over the course of millions of years, though all who came before him were killed and thrown aside, failing to meet Ego's expectations. Having taken off his helmet, Star-Lord started up his ship and flew away from Morag while Korath still shot at him from a large cannon, forcing Star-Lord to use his flying skills to dodge the blasts. Once he had gotten away from the Kree soldier, Star-Lord confidently began cheering until he accidentally flew into a blast of steam which almost caused him to crash-land until he was just able to regain control of his ship and then continued to make his hasty escape. Wait. so does that make you my sister? Mantis, that's the greatest Christmas gift I could ever get." ― Mantis and Peter Quill [src] Later, Bacon returned, saying that he wanted to celebrate Christmas with them. Bacon then sang with Bzermikitokolok and the Knowheremen as Quill excitedly listened to his hero play music. During the performance, Quill gave Groot a present, which was his very own GameBoy. Groot jumped up in excitement. Groot then gave Quill a present which was a carving of how Mantis and Drax kidnapped Kevin Bacon. At the end, Bacon and the Guardians hugged before Kraglin Obfonteri took him home. Bacon remarked how he would see them at Easter. [8] Family Revelations [ ]

In the comics, Peter Quill was originally a NASA astronaut whose mother was killed by aliens and who ended up assuming the mantle of the Star-Lord, an interplanetary policeman. This version of the character was later retconned in another reality. The mainstream version of Quill was taken into space at a young age, after having witnessed his mother being killed by a group of Badoons, and ended up imprisoned at the Kyln. He later formed a team called the Guardians of the Galaxy. He is the son of J'son of Spartax. Chris Pratt stated in an interview, that the shirt Star-Lord wears in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, is the name of a space candy called " Gear Shift." Hey, hey, HEY! That's mine! Hey, take those headphones off, right now! "Hooked on a Feeling," Blue Swede, 1973. That song belongs to me!" ―Star-Lord to Mean Guard [src] Sometime during the process of rebuilding Knowhere by 2026, Quill had fallen into deep alcoholism as he was still reeling from the loss of Gamora, which caused him to be normally carried out by the Guardians whenever he passed out.

On the way, Mantis revealed her ability to feel the feelings of others and demonstrated by touching Quill and revealing his feelings for Gamora to everyone in the room. When Drax burst into hysterics at the announcement, Quill became defensive arguing that it was not that funny, though he was clearly embarrassed. [7] Bonding with Ego [ ] Jan Petrina, Daniel Stevens, Ben Wright, Tony McFarr and Chris Romrell were stunt doubles for Chris Pratt in the role of Star-Lord.

Due to being raised as a child by aliens, having possibly not learned just how weak humans are compared to other beings, he never suspected that he was half alien himself and assumed his inhuman resilience to be normal for any kind of creature. Furthermore, he appears out of touch with modern earthlings, as he barely associated with Tony Stark and Spider-Man because of his out of date references. However, despite this, Quill was pleased to hear that Spider-Man understood his reference to Footloose, but was bummed to hear that it wasn't the greatest movie in history. Also, Quill seemed to enjoy being around with his fellow humans, as seen with Stark, Stephen Strange and Peter Parker. Quill then asked Gamora to give him her buyer's coordinates which she refused to do, leading to a conversation about who trusted the other more. They began discussing what the Orb really was, with Drax the Destroyer excitingly asking if it was a weapon that they could use to kill Ronan the Accuser, leading to an argument between him and Gamora which Quill was forced to break up as he insisted that nobody kill anyone on board his ship. Upon commenting on the large sum that was going to be paid to the group, Drax claimed to have no interest in money which Quill joked meant more money for the rest of them, including Groot who was listening on. Immortality: While battling his father Ego, Ego told him that as long as Ego's essence is still alive, Star-Lord himself will never die, unless killed by an exterior force. This was shown when he succumbed to the Snap.

Quill's group, now known as the Guardians of the Galaxy, had their criminal records expunged by the Nova Corps, who informed Quill that he was only half-human, as his father being part of an ancient species that could wield an Infinity Stone.
