Star-Lord in Marvel Comics
The character known as Peter Quill was conceived by Earth woman Meredith Quill and the alien male J’son. J’son was the Spartoi Emperor at the time. His ship crash landed on Earth, where he met Meredith.The two formed a romantic relationship soon after. J’son returned to space to resume fighting in an intergalactic battle. He left Meredith back on Earth, not knowing she was pregnant.
Ten years later, Peter returns home after being bruised in his attempt to fend off a bully. As he is washing up for supper, his mother is distracted by a bright light outside. The light was from a pair of Badoon soldiers.
The aliens arrived on Earth to kill Peter and Meredith to bring the “Spartoi bloodline” to a halt. Meredith was assassinated by the Badoon, but Peter was able to escape.
Young Peter Quill later wound up in an orphanage. He had a tough time adjusting to his new life and finding a foster family.
Peter never gave up on his dream of becoming an astronaut. He wanted to travel into space to find the aliens who murdered his mother and avenge her death.
Quill got one step closer to his dream as an adult when he landed a job at NASA. Realising his opportunity, Peter stole a space ship left belonging to the Kree. He managed to elude the station’s security and successfully flew into space.
Unfortunately, the stolen space ship soon started malfunctioning. Unfamiliar with the alien technology, Peter became stranded in space.
He was drifting all alone in the cosmos for three days, until a group of space pirates known as the Ravagers came across his ship.
The pirates’ leader Yondu tried to steal the spacecraft after saving Quill. Peter put up a brave fight, but was later imprisoned.
Afterwards, Quill asked the alien space captain if he could join his crew. Yondu was skeptical at first, but agreed to bring the young Earthman on as his cleaning boy.
Peter stayed on and paid close attention to the pirate crew, attempting to learn as much as he could from them.

A couple years after Peter stole the Kree ship, he met Ma Savage. The alien woman became a kind of second mother to Quill, and he started funding her orphanage.Quill also wound up meeting his birth father J’son of Spartax, who was the second son of the Galactic Emperor who had previously served as Star-Lord.
During this encounter, Peter learned more about his family history and heritage. He was also told about his birthright to become the Star-Lord.
J’son wanted Peter to live and rule alongside him as prince of Spartax. Peter rejected the invitation, because he disagreed with the idea of someone owning the galaxy. He wanted the universe to be free to live and create in peace.
The two parted on bad terms. Peter later found a sentient vessel named “Ship” that he traveled the galaxy with for several years.
