History Characters / MCUPeterQuill

* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: Zigzagged. Because he was never abducted by the Ravagers, he wound up living a normal life on Earth, presumably raised by his grandfather who was definitely a much better father than Yondu. However, his father Ego decides to recruit him ealier, and doesn't waste much time before turning him into a living battery [[spoiler:before T'Challa and his Ravagers rescue him and he's implied to join the team afterwards]].

* FutureLoser: In this reality, Peter Quill was never kidnapped by Yondu when he was a kid in 1988. In this reality, Peter Quill lived a normal life on Earth, he never became Star-Lord, instead in this alternate reality, He ended up working as a lowly janitor at Dairy Queen fast-food joint, he may not have a good wage in his lowly job, but he still has fun at work listening to music on his Walkman. [[spoiler:Though it's implied by the final episode of Season 1 that he might've joined T'Challa's Ravagers after being saved by him from Ego, which could reverse this status.]]

!!!'''Species:''' Human

* CommonalityConnection: Peter bonds with Hope over both having recently lost their mothers, who had similar tastes in music.

[[folder:Celestial Peter Quill]]

* OnlySaneMan: In his viewpoint, at least, as he feels that threatening to kill people that he's only just met is counterproductive. He also considers Groot this, believing that he has the same thinking as him.

** Even though Quill is a massive fan of Creator/KevinBacon and his movies (particularly Footloose), he's utterly horrified when Mantis and Drax kidnap him from Earth in an attempt to make him a Christmas gift for him. After admonishing both of them for their actions, Quill immediately tells Kraglin to get Kevin Bacon back home immediately.

* CelebrityParadox: ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' was referenced a few times in ''Series/MsMarvel2022''. Creator/ChrisPratt voiced Mario himself in ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie''.

* PrecisionFStrike: Peter has the honor of dropping the MCU's first uncensored F-bomb in ''Vol. 3'', out of frustration when Nebula is having trouble opening an old car door.

* CelebrityParadox: ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' was referenced a few times in ''Series/MsMarvel''. Creator/ChrisPratt voiced Mario himself in ''WesternAnimation/TheSuperMarioBrosMovie''.

* DidNotGetTheGirl: Thanks to events of ''Infinity War'' and the time travel shenanigans of ''End Games'', [[spoiler:Gamora gets rebooted and Quill loses his relationship with her]].

* MrFanservice: Chris Pine, previously kinda chunky... he went full beefcake for this, and they take his clothes off when they don't put him in tight clothes.
* MrFanservice: Previously kinda chunky, Chris Pratt went full beefcake for the ''Guardians'' films. He gets shirtless scenes in both of them when they don't put him in tight clothes. The shirtless scene in ''Vol. 2'' in particular was clearly only there for the audience to look at his great physique.

* MrFanservice: In the ''Guardians'' films. He gets shirtless scenes in both of them and the one in the ''Vol. 2'' in particular was clearly only there for the audience to look at his great physique.

* TheTeamNormal: He doesn't have any powers to speak of, relying instead on technology. Gamora and Nebula were both... ''enhanced'' by Thanos, Drax is absurdly tough, Groot is a walking nightmare factory, and Rocket is a cyborg raccoon, but Quill is just a kid from Earth.

* BadassAbnormal: For a brief time in Vol. 2, he has the abilities granted to him by the light in Ego's core, which he uses to fight Ego to a standstill while Rocket and Groot set him up the bomb.

* AMFMCharacterization: In his first scene, he's on a dead world and enters a ruin that wouldn't seem out of place for an AdventurerArchaeologist... and then he turns on an old Walkman and starts dancing through the place to "Come and Get Your Love" without a care in the world, even kicking away some of the local vermin. Peter's Walkman and mixtape of classic pop songs are reminders of Earth, and specifically his mother, who had died from cancer the night he was abducted.

* IdiotHero: When War Machine comments to Nebula in ''Endgame'' that he's an idiot it's clearly a statement rather than a question. PlayedForDrama previously in ''Infinity War'', when his impulsive actions became a catalyst in Thanos achieving his goal with himself as one of his casualties.

* InstantExpert: Played with, as it may be the very nature of Celestials. Once his father tells him how to call forth his celestial heritage, Peter ''immediately'' generates energy from his hands, using it to [[ItMakesSenseInContext form a baseball to play catch with]]. However, he doesn't attempt anything grander than that due to the relatively short time frame he's on Ego coupled with his own father telling him that it took eons for him to learn how to manipulate matter. However, when Yondu gives him a DontThinkFeel speech on how he controls his arrow, Peter is able to shift control of Ego's light and equal him in combat.
