"His father was somethin' called a Celestial. A real strong bein', old, took the form of a planet but had this little person form of himself to go out and do whatever. Includin' knockin' up Quill's ma. I say was because he did end up killin' 'im when he tried to use 'im. Had a good team of friends that beat 'im. We won.

"But I just bit it makin' sure he made it through."
