Forget Waiting For GOTG Sequel! We’ve Deduced Who Star Lord’s Father Is

By on Wednesday, August 20th, 2014

I know many fanboys believe Star-Lord’s father will be Adam Warlock, especially after James Gunn revealed Quill’s father will not be the same as the comic book. While they may not be using Peter Quill’s original father, J’Son, they most likely will not stray to far from the source material (even though they did with Yondu) and after doing some research on the character of Star-Lord, I believe I figured out who his father actually will be and where the sequel could be headed.

Star Lord’s real father will be Master of the Sun, Ragnar, who in the Peter Quill’s original Guardians’ storyline grants Peter Quill the mantle of Star-Lord.

Here are the facts from both the movies and comics:

Movie-
*On her death bed, Quill’s mother told him that his father was an angel, a being made of light.

*After defeating Ronan, Quill finally opens the gift his mother left him in her final moments, before that however, he read the letter that was taped to it, which revealed Quill’s mother nicknamed him her “little Star-Lord”

*As the movie ended, the Nova Corp looked into Quill’s DNA and discovered he was part of an ancient race that hasn’t been seen in a very long time.

*Also at the end of the movie, Yondu revealed he didn’t want to take Quill to meet with his father, which is what he was hired to do, because Quill’s father was a Jackass.

Comics-
*In the comics, Quill is encountered by an ancient being named Master of the Sun, Ragnar, who gives him the mantle of Star-Lord.

*The Master of the Sun also gives Quill a sentient vessel named “Ship.”

*Star-Lord’s father, from the comics, J’Son, is trying to escape a war and crash lands on Earth where he is found by Meredith Quill.

*After nursing J’Son back to health, Meredith and J’Son fall in love and later conceived Peter. J’Son, not wanting the war to follow him to Earth, reluctantly decided to leave Meredith behind, promising to return once the war has ended.

Now to weave everything together, Ragnar, the Master of the Sun, is shot down by hostiles (possibly serving Thanos, who has begun his search for the Infinity Stones) and crash lands on Earth, where he is found by Meredith. She nurses Ragnar back to health and the two fall in love. After she conceives Peter, Ragnar reluctantly decides he must leave Earth so that Thanos cannot discover his location. Ragnar is in Possession of the Soul Stone. Ragnar bids farewell to Meredith and promises to return one day. In the time Meredith falls ill, Ragnar has given the soul stone to a trusted friend (possibly another son, or some kind of relative) Adam Warlock.

Always keeping an eye on Earth for Meredith, Ragnar decides it’s time to get his son, especially since Meredith was dying, and hires Yondu to do so. Yondu fails to deliver Quill to his father, and many years later, Ragnar hears about how “Star-Lord” used an Infinity Stone to kill Kree Purist Ronan. Ragnar is now able to track down Star-Lord, and explain to his son who he is, why Thanos is looking for the stones, and what “Star-Lord” really means. Also Adam Warlock is awakened and Ragnar gives Quill “Ship.” Adam Warlock will probably play a dual role. He starts off as good, but later becomes the bad guy, or rather in the beginning is a villain, but later it is revealed he is actually a good guy. Whatever the case, the war Ragnar tried to escape could actually provide some weight to the rumored title Guardians of the Galaxy: War of Kings.

S#!T Talking Central

    So where does the Kree (?) alien from the end of the AoS season finale fit into this?

    • Carroll Lee

      Nothing really, the Kree have been separately monitoring and interfering in human development for years.

      • VirgilHawkins

        Considering the fact that the Kree had a relatively big presence in Guardians of the Galaxy, the possibility that is a Kree body in SHIELD custody, and AoS tagline has been “It’s All Connected” for the longest, I feel like there is some kind of connection to this alien and GoTG

        • CapeandCowlConspiracy

          He’s there to lay the plot foundations for the Inhumans (wouldn’t be surprised one bit to see Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver be some kind of Hydra Terrigen Mist type test subjects from his blood.), and Carol Danvers. Maybe he will be the Kree Sentry for the cinematic universe.

          • VirgilHawkins

            That has been in no way confirmed. I highly doubt they’ll set up the inhumans through a show a lot of Marvel fans don’t watch.

          • Musikonica

            You could be over-thinking things, here. The Kree alien body on AoS could just signify that the Krees have been on our planet before. Yondu’s ship seemed to track Peter Quill right down to where he was running to with very little navigational problems. Maybe they know the area from a previous visit? Maybe they’ve been watching the area for a long time because of Quill? Maybe the Kree alien body was from a later visit to Earth, and they were there actually looking for Quill without knowing Yondu already picked him up?

            Also, they’re not setting up Inhumans or Carol Danvers, and that’s not what CapeandCowl said. If the Kree body is instead setting up the plot foundations, as said, that could mean that the show is showing the Agents have been experimenting and using the Kree blood on humans. Which, if you noticed, they have been doing… So that makes some sense.

          • VirgilHawkins

            I honestly see the Carol Danvers set up more plausible than the Inhumans one, because last time I checked, Inhumans weren’t created by earthlings, but of course MCU is not one known to adhere strictly to the comics, so anything is possible.

            Since it has already been said that GoTG will have some sort of link to AoS, and there is that Kree body, it seems like too much of a coincidence for those two not to be linked in some way. Of course I guess seeing the obvious is overthinking.

          • Musikonica

            Well yea, I’d agree the Carol Danvers idea is more probable.

            Well, the Kree body on AoS and Ronan being a Kree alien is a connection. It’s not the greatest link, however it did introduce us to these blue aliens, and seeing Ronan gave us a better idea of what these so called Kree are. Subtle, but they’re connected by blood if nothing else.

  • demoncat_4

    or odds are marvel will really pull a fast one and since james gun stated peters father is not json. they will reveal that his father is adam warlock for he was in disquise when merdith gets pregnant with peter saying he will return for them after he has made sure the infinty stones are safe from thanos. or thanos in a real marvel twist will be star lords father.

  • Voltaire Pastrana

    great theory but i will go to the Olympians route

  • Comicbookkid

    [Possible Spoiler Alert] War of Kings was actually a story line that came out a few years ago. It was about uniting the Kree with the Inhumans and other species by the marriage of Ronan and the princess of the Inhumans but during the ceremony, protesters crashed the wedding and started the War of Kings. For more information go buy the books.

    His father, and the governance of that cultures logo, is the Marvel Comic hero NOVA. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_(Richard_Rider)

  • Sejanus

    Your theory would have more credibility if you could spell Infinity Stone instead of referring to it as an “Infinite” Stone.
    The answer the Peter Quills father is in Agents of Shield.

    Nuff’ Said.

  • Craig Bryan

    “duel role” Really? Go look up the difference between duel and dual okay?

  • Chance LeBoeuf

    It would great if the second one went super meta and cast Kevin Bacon as his father.

  • Dave Kaye

    Erm…. no. We already know who his father is. I’m really shocked none of you people bother to do a simple Google search. Seriously… His dad is Jason of Spartoi, or the slightly retconned version of the same character, J’Son of Spartax, who was a king, meaning Peter Quill is a prince, heir to the throne of Spartoi. THAT is why he is called “Star Lord”. Themes such as “the outlaw who happens to find out he’s royalty” and “the prince not being pure-blooded and therefore is not a rightful successor) will probably be among those in the sequels, as well as the Nova Corps getting decimated, leading to Rhomann Dey to crash-land on Earth to pass the Nova mantle onto Richard Ryder. Whether Nova will get his own movie or co-star in a future GotG movie is the real question here.

      Erm, no. “especially after James Gunn revealed Quill’s father will not be the same as the comic book.” i’m shocked you didn’t read the article. I’ll go way into left field and say it’s Fandral from Thor. Sneaking down to Earth for a little romance, not being able to sneak back and having to get Yondu to bring Peter back. Crazy, but fun.

      • Dave Kaye

        I read the article, and I’ve read the sourceless Empire Online article it’s parroted from. It means nothing. Remember when Marion Cotillard fervently denied being Talia in TDKR? Or that time a Green Lantern sequel was supposedly confirmed? Yeah… again, means nothing until there’s official word from the studios and the films are confirmed to have entered production with definitive casting. Use your head, don’t be a sheep and take something written on the internet as gospel. It will probably be some incarnation of J’Son, or at the very least an adaptation of the aforementioned themes I brought up in my first post.

  • Nick Sheridan

    “He start off good but later end up the bad guy, or come off, in the
    beginning, as a villain but later it is revealed he is actually a good
    guy.”

    Sentences like this are why I give no credibility to this guesswork article. Are you eight?
