Kidnapping of Peter Quill

The Kidnapping of Peter Quill was a successful attempt made by an extraterrestrial mercenary band known as the Ravagers sent by Peter Quill's Father to abduct Peter Quill from Earth.

Kidnapping
In 1986, an 8 year old Peter Quill awaits at a hospital until being taken in by his grandfather to see Meredith Quill's last moments. Meredith hands him a wrapped gift and letter before dying of terminal cancer. Saddened by this, Quill escapes the hospital but is abducted by an M-ship.

Aftermath
After abducting Quill, the Ravagers neglect Peter Quill's Father's orders and raise him as their own, despite some mercenaries in the band wanting to devour him. In 2014, now taking the mantle of Star-Lord steals an orb, which ultimately leads to a chase. After the Battle of Xandar, Peter opens Meredith's gift, which is a secondary cassette titled Awesome Mix Vol. 2 for his walkman.
