Yondu

This is another strange one, because it was revealed in the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie that Yondu (Michael Rooker) had taken Peter Quill from Earth on behalf of his father, but could it have been the case that Yondu actually was his father?

Could Yondu have been lying to his fellow Ravagers when he said he was collecting Peter Quill for someone else? When you think about the fact that Yondu didn’t actually deliver Quill to his father after apparently being paid to do so – and when you remember that he prevented some of his acquaintances from eating the young “Terran“ – it does actually make you think that perhaps he is Quill’s father.

Being the tough rogue that he is, perhaps Yondu just didn’t want to admit that he wanted his son in his life, so he invented a story about kidnapping him on behalf of someone else.

Yondu has been a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy in the comic books and the reveal of him as Quill’s father could lead to him joining the team in the movies (after all, James Gunn has said the team will get a new member in the sequel).
