Inspired by Guardians of the Galaxy Non Biological Dad T-ShirtIn the Guardians of the Galaxy storyline, Star Lord was raised by Yondu Udonta. Yondu essentially adopted Star Lord, but told him that he would eat him and that the only reason he kept him around is that his small size made him useful for "thieving". When Star Lord was a child, he would tell his classmates that his father was David Hasselhoff, who was never around because he was busy filming episodes of Knight Rider or putting on concerts in Germany.
