When Zenn-La was threatened by the world-devouring entity known as Galactus, Norrin Radd stood up for his home planet and offered to work for Galactus, finding him new planets to eat, in exchange for saving his own. Years later, the Surfer has protected Earth and many other planets, becoming one of the greatest heroes in the universe.
Refusing to miss his opportunity, Peter Jason Quill stole a scoutship from Cape Canaveral, returned to Eve, and shot his way to the appointed spot, where his old rival Harrelson, NASA's choice to be Star-Lord, was awaiting selection, where Quill was transported away in his stead, and transformed into Star-Lord.
