6. Quill Learns How His Mother Really Died - Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2
The entire Guardians of the Galaxy adventure kicks off with a heartbreaking sequence explaining how Peter Quill ended up in space in the first place.
After his mother had tragically died of brain cancer, a distraught eventual Star-Lord fled the hospital, only to be zapped up into space by the Ravagers.
So, with the orphan spending most of his life being raised by Yondu and his band of miscreants, it wasn't difficult to understand why the Guardian jumped at the chance to get to know his Celestial father Ego in Vol. 2.
But it was during that father-son bonding that an absolutely horrendous truth changed everything Quill thought he knew about his poor mother's demise back in 1988. It turns out that Ego actually planted the deadly tumour in Meredith's brain due to him fearing that she'd distract him from his precious Expansion mission. What an A-hole!
As expected, Peter didn't react all that well to this life-changing revelation. And it wasn't long before this mother-killing long-lost pops was finally taken down by the Guardians... but at the cost of Quill's real daddy's life.
