Guardians Of The Galaxy: 12 Lingering Questions We Still Have
8. How Did Peter Quill End Up In Space?
Marvel StudiosStar-Lord is Peter Jason Quill a N.A.S.A astronaut whose single Mother was killed by an alien when he was eleven. But that's just in the comic books. Whilst on a mission to outer space, he was recruited by an alien entity called the Master of the Sun to take on the Star-Lord mantle and act as a sort of intergalactic police officer. In the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, he's definitely human, but it seems as though he is more of an outlaw than a police officer and that could mean his background is altered from the comics. Could he be a former S.H.I.E.L.D protégé? Natasha Romanoff started her training as a child and we know from the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series that there are academies for young recruits. Plus, the fact that his walkman indicates hes been off Earth for a while would indicate that he was only a child when he left. Could he be a childhood friend of one of the existing Marvel Cinematic Universe characters? Could he be related to any of them? Essentially, the possibilities are endless, but dont be surprised to find that Chris Pratts character has links to existing Earth-based characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe if it turns out to be the case - and don't be surprised to find that his origins are very different to the comic book version of the character.
