Peter Quill

Star-Lord is a half-human and half-Spartoi cosmic adventurer. He was created by Steve Englehart and Steve Gan and first appeared in Marvel Preview #4 in January, 1976. He was one of the main characters featured in Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2 and Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3.

Overview
Born on Earth, his mother was killed by aliens, prompting Quill to seek revenge. He joined NASA and impersonated a man who had been chosen by the Master of the Sun to take on the role of a cosmic policeman under the title Star-Lord. Star-Lord revised his costume, weaponry and attitude some years later and became involved in the Annihilation Conquest incident, which subsequently gave birth to the modern-era iteration of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
