Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2/Nathan Quill

Star-Lord (Nathan Quill) is a fictional character and superhero serving as a supporting hero in Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2.

Biography
Once an ordinary Midtown High student and aspiring astronaut, Nathan Quill ended up infused with the energies of an alien gemstone which granted him a symbiotic link with a special star-shaped emblem of alien technology. The emblem provides him with an special space suit, granting him interstellar abilities (flight, elemental manipulation (Earth, Wind, Fire and Water) and sword and shield astral construct projection) and allows him to summon a highly advanced star-ship. Impressed with the emblem's capabilities, and inspired by the actions of superheroes (including his friend Peter Parker / Spider-Man), Nathan begun operating as the new superhero Star-Lord, while also travelling the galaxy as an astronaut. During his first adventure, he also developed a telepathic link with cosmic-powered bulldog Drax the Destroyer, who soon became his loyal pet dog.

He also came to discover his childhood friend Zoe Gillan's true nature as an alien Chameliel, and her true identity of Gamora. Nathan vowed to keep her secret and encouraged her to use her true form as her superhero alter-ego. The two soon became crime-fighting partners, and eventually became a romantic couple.

Differences Between Nathan Quill and Peter Quill
While being a version of Star-Lord, Nathan Quill is also somewhat diferrent to Peter Quill in certain details:
 * Peter is known for being a human/alien hybrid, while Nathan is a pure-blood human.
 * Peter has been Star-Lord for a long lifetime after being abducted by aliens. Nathan on the other hand, is on a more balanced double life as a human civilian teenager and as a space traveller.

Appearances in Other Media

 * The Nathan Quill version of Star-Lord is a main character in Marvel: All New, All Different Chronicles, voiced by Scott Menville. While his origins and details are the same as in Ultimate Marvel: Earth-2, this version earned the alien gemstone responsible for his connection to the Star Emblem after it was given to him by his father Clayton (voiced by Alan Tudyk). Also, unlike in the comics, he is not a student in Midtown High School, and is instead a student enrolled at Baxter Institute. He is also a member of the New Champions and, like the Peter Quill version of Star-Lord, is the initial leader of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
