Star-Lord

"Sometimes, the thing you're searching for your whole life is right there by your side all along."

- Peter Quill to the Guardians

Peter Jason Quill is a character in Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers. As an adult, Peter took the name Star-Lord, in honor of his late mother. Quill is portrayed by Chris Pratt with his younger self portrayed by Wyatt Oleff.

Background
Peter Jason Quill was born in late 1980 to Meredith Quill and Ego the Living Planet. He longed for a father, since he grew up without one and jealously watched kids playing catch with their dad. He told other kids that David Hasselhoff was his dad, just on tour with his band in Europe or filming for the show, Knight Rider.

As a child, his mother was inflicted with Cancer by Ego. Peter ran out of the hallway when it happened in tears. After he ran out, he was abducted by Yondu Udonnta, who adopted Quill into his Ravager clan. However, Quill and Udonta rarely saw eye to eye, as Quill hated when he joked about feeding him to the crew and taking him from his family.

Guardians of the Galaxy
Star-Lord stole the Power Stone, which was inside a container unit called the Orb from Morag, where Star-Lord was confronted by Korath the Pursuer and several Sakaaran soldiers. Luckily, he made his escape to Xandar, where he tried selling the Orb to Broker. However, the alien immediately refused and threw Quill out of his shop, where he was attacked by the Zehoberei, Gamora and Rocket Raccoon and Groot. However, all four were arrested and sent to the Kyln and form an unlikely partnership to split the 4 million units when selling the orb to the Collector on Knowhere while acquiring Drax the Destroyer as a companion.
