It should be noted that, according to the Marvel Handbook series, the original Star-Lord's adventures occur in a parallel universe, not the official "616" universe.

Annihilation and Annihilation Conquest are both INCREDIBLE. Thanks for bringing those up because they too often get overlooked. Not only were they great stories, but they did wonders in revitalizing a bunch of characters!

[@ATalkingSock]

Very interesting to see, in retrospect, James Gunn essentially merged J'son and Ragnar into one character and imposed it on Ego. Now I can't help but think it might be fun for a future movie to introduce Ship and maybe have her gift Quill his yet to be seen iconic elemental blasters and perhaps offer other temptations. Might make for compelling drama considering where he's been left in the wake of Gamora's death.

[@StrangeBrainParts]

I agree! Ship would be a great character for the movies. Although, I think her design was seen in one of the movies? I think.

[@marSLaZZ66]

Wow! Just noticed how the Space Ship in the beginning of GotG1movie (the scene when it kidnap the boy Quill) is inspired by the "Ship" on 3:00!! It's the same angle, the curved forward fuselage, the form of the wings, even the cockpit!

[@llewtree3013]

Awh man I love this version of star lord, ship and the master of the sun, I managed to get all these comics at a car boot sale when I was a kid and I’ve loved them all ever since

[@adrianmercado3092]

If I see Strange Brain Parts, I click.

[@therussiancomicbookgeek]

Very interesting Star-Lord trivia

[@vitodamico8688]

I really enjoy the videos where you talk about obscure marvel heroes. People forget. And btw I like the video effects. I hope your channel grows its a gem.

[@StrangeBrainParts]

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to say so.

[@ianfontanet4230]

Fun facts: Peter Quill's father was originally going to be J'son, the original Starlord, in Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2, but James Gunn disagrees with the idea, because the character would be too star wars-esque, that's why he instead have Ego, The Living Planet, to be his father. That was a real missed opportunity right there. If James Gunn allowed the original Starlord to be Peter Quill's father in Guardian Of The Galaxy Vol.2, then it would've been better than we have right now in the final cut of the movie, at least they put J'son in the animated Guardians Of the Galaxy show, which it's good.

[@dajokahbaby1506]

Which is funny because having the father of the main character be the villain sounds pretty Star Wars-esque to me

[@Lazrael32]

yeah but there was no world devouring, planet sized threat....... wait...

[@adriangonzalez3600]

I loved the Yandu stuff in Vol2 but never the Ego stuff... Vol2 is just Star Wars where Luke gets a hug from his father figure

[@debbieboring3422]

Thank you for answering some questions between my son and I. I had asked who Peter Quills father was if Ego was a Big Piggy planet that ate other planets and not his real dad. Sorry my take. Well he was trying to remember and keep saying he was trying to get the different stories to align. Now I understand why. Thanks for the help now we know. And still enjoy the movies any how even with the story discontinuity. Great job.

[@rzionrnrzfm5925]

Also the most recent guardians of the Galaxy series brought back the original origin story and Peter becomes the new master of the sun.

[@midnightmodding4658]

I loved the annihilation star lord. Dude's a bad ass. Nothing against the quippy one, but doesn't hold up. Now I want a ship comic.

[@scifiguy9000]

Cool! Love Star-Lord!

[@jayfolk]

Ship reminds me of Ship and their offspring Baby in DCs young justice.

[@jasonguinn6075]

What happened with Bug ??? I know Marvel no longer publishes Micronauts comics but, Bug makes appearances in the Annihilation series

[@esean1]

"a cosmic Punisher"? Y'mean like Nexus? Or Space Ghost?

[@Southernstereotype]

This character went from the most out of the picture, stillbirth hero of Marvel’s entire run to the character I most identify with in the entire Marvel universe. A goofy, unsure of himself jackass who manages to get things done in his own clumsy way. It’s funny how all he needed was a maroon leather jacket and a Walkman to win the hearts of mainstream marvel fans.

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Great. It's too bad marvel altered the character so much in the gaurdians movie.

[@azimovist]

Lobotomized into a sub moron.

[@qwellen7521]

You get that’s re-imagined to be a critique of Han Solo fanboys/male geekdom right?

[@helenbartlett6085]

You missed the Inhumans!

[@sandyhausler5290]

Is the Yondu of the Ravagers connected with the Yondu from the original Guardians of the Galaxy?

[@CouncilCape897]

Ravager Yondu was retroactively introduced in the main comics continuity as a distant ancestor of the original Yondu

[@sargonsblackgrandfather2072]

Wait but I remember reading guardians of the galaxy in the uk in the eighties, it was the second story in the transformers comic for a few years.

[@EppyGibbon]

I don't think it was 'Guardians of the Galaxy', but you might be thinking of the 'Rocket Racoon' series - that was a back-up in the UK Transformers comic for quite a while.

[@sxppy-9991]

Nova star and star lord is the same right??

[@vanxanax933]

not at all

[@rogeliovaldez9689]

why does his hair go from black to blond to brown and then lastly blond again

[@Nono-hk3is]

So do you think "Ship" is the same Ship from the early issues of the original X-Factor comic? Who AFAIK was last seen "posessing" Scott Summer's son who was infected by the technoorganic virus and whisked away by alternate future Rachel Summers to said alternate future, only to return as Cable? (With Ship possibly returning, for just a couple issues of X-Force, as "Professor", seemingly a resident AI in Cable's cybernetics, then never heard from again.)

[@99Michael]

Star-Lord more like Star Bored. Although I do like the character in the MCU.

[@TheMagnificentMongoSlade]

Quill is REALLY unlikable in the earlier series. He's brash, selfish, and violent. All he really cares about is revenge. The character gets better later on but he's a shitty person at the beginning.
