Peter Quill, or as we like to call him, Star-Lord, is the unlikely leader and hero of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Whether you know him from the Marvel comics or are the type to be more acquainted with his character in the Guardians films in the Marvel Cin👍ematic Universe, you more than likely are a fan of him and his heroic efforts.

There is a long history surrounding Star-Lord, though, and more specifically, in regards to his abilities, there is a🎉 lot about him that is not widely known. His body's capabilities and superhuman powers are not always talked about among fans, but that's where we come in.

From his👍 background and familial roots to his evolving powers and abilities that he puts to use in battle witಞh his latest enemy, there is more than meets the eye about Peter Quill and his body. Throughout his history in the Marvel universe, he has gone through quite a lot as does his body due to injuries with long-term effects. With all of these changes through different points in his life, there's a lot to earn about our beloved Star-Lord.

Let's sit back ൲and learn more about our favorite guardian with 25 Ridiculous Things About Star-Lord's Body.

25 𝓀 The MCU Version Of Star-Lord Was Almost Entiꩲrely Different

A lot of times when𝓰 casting is occurring for a major role, there are many in consideration for it. So when casting was underway for the role of Star-Lord, Chris Pratt was probably the one we all least expected to get it.

In fact, we almost had another dark-haired, white man that would blend in with the likes of Tony Stark and Doctor Strange or even Bruce Banner. The thing is, Star-Lord has always been blond, so while we could see Glenn Howerton of It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia fame in the role of Star-Lord, it just wouldn’t fi⛦t our image of the♈ classic comic book character.

24 He’s Adept At Lang꧅uages

Star-Lord has a true talent for understanding different alien cultures a﷽nd that includes their languages, too which was hard to translate from comic books to the big screen. But regardless, it is pretty astounding that the man who grew up on Earth and speaks English is able to interpret the many different alien languages he comes across.

Of course, he does have a universal translator in h🐠is helmet so that must be helpful for his day job as a guardian. There's no denying it's impressive, thou𝐆gh.

23 Peter Heals 🀅Quickly

While Peter Quill may use his blind heroism to ignore the fact he has several abilities he’s not putting to use, there’𒊎s no getting around that they 🦂are there.

His ability to heal remarkably fas𒅌t may help him more often than not, but most of the time he doesn’t seem like he even realizes it. Nevertheless, he may heal quickly but he does tend to suffer more than the average hero due to his inability to not recklessly attempt to save the day each and every time.

22 He Managed To Survive An Interrogati🃏on From Ultr🃏on

When Peter Quill was taken by Ultron during The Phalanx attacks on himself and the other Guardians, he underwent severe questioning from Ultron himself. Which, to be honest, sounds completely frightening.  A🔯nd while he was being aggressively questioned, he was in extremely awful conditions, as you'd expect.

Yet, he somehow made it through before he was s⛦aved by Adam Warlock and Quasar when they took down U꧙ltron. That in itself is quite the feat. But this is just another example of Star-Lord's abilities being put to work.

21 Star-Lord Recently Became Ha🎃lf-Celestial

The Peter Quill we know from the MCU was depicted as a half-celestial who is the son of Ego. Ego, as we kno𒅌w, is an actual living planet, but in the comics, his character has a totally different backstory.

All Peter knows about his father for a long time is that he is an extraterrestrial from the planet Spartax and his name is J’Son. His parents may have met under very similar circumstances when compared to the movie v💝🌃ersion, but there were also plenty of differences from the comics as opposed to what was shown.

20 P🔯eter Quill Is Not T♚he Only Star-Lord

It is true that Peter Quill is the main person to come to mind when thinking of Star-Lord since he is by far the most famous to hold the title. But in 1996, there was a comic series by the name of Starlord that told the story of Sinjin Quarrel.

This youn෴g telepath eventually came across Peter’s ship and b💯onded with the spacecraft and even went on a mission to find Peter Quill, who had been missing for 12 years. And in the meantime, he took on the role of Star-Lord.

It’s an ✨interesting departure from the original character, though 🔯it wasn’t really touched on again after that.

19 Peter🍷’s Royal Blood 🥀

Peter’s father from the co🌌mics, J’Son was a rebel of sorts and was even exiled from his own planet in the midst of a war. He eventually became a villain known as Mister Knife.

But before he was exiled, he was a prince when he first met Peter’s mother. The war had begun, though, on his planet as a rebellion from his pe♒ople against his♉ own leadership. But by the time Star-Lord had reached adulthood, the war was still in full force and J’Son was now an Emperor.

This means Peter also has royalty in his blood, whe♒ther he likes it or not.

18 He Ages Ver🗹y Slowly 🌜

Thanks to Peter Quill's Spartax bloodline, he is, unsurprisingly, not like the average human male. In fact, he is able to live three times as l🌺ong as Earthlings which made plenty of fansꩲ happy to have that knowledge.

They actually brought some of that to life in the MCU with Ego being his father. This meant that he would live for milli🦄ons of years, but unfortꦆunately that all went away when Peter defeated his father. It was a bit bittersweet, to say the least.

17 🐼 🌄Super Strength And Agility

Anyone who has seen Star-Lord in action knows that he has abilities that far ജsurpass those of the average human being. But once again, thanks t💮o his Spartax genealogy, his incredible strength and his astounding reaction time is far and above better than any Earthling could ever hope for.

This has been depicted in both the comics and in the Marvel Ciꦯnematic Universe and seeing his strength and agility in action never gets old. It's certainly a helpful aspect of Peter's capabilities.

16 🎉 His Time As Swingin’ Stevie Rogers

We all are aware that Peter has a love of music, specifically late-'70s pop music. Both the comics and the films have heavily showcased his passion for music, in fact. But in the comics, during the Secret Wars event, they took that love to a whole new level.

See,♛ he was thrust into a parallel universe called Battleworld and decided to use an alias while he was th😼ere. He became a lounge singer that went by the ever-so-clever name of “Swingin’ Stevie Rogers.” To be a fly on the wall of that New York City bar.
