An Unforgettable Name
Long before Peter Quill adopted the name Star-Lord and became a notorious intergalactic outlaw, people couldn’t even get his name right. There’s a pretty hilarious scene in GOTG when Korath (Djimon Hounsou) catches Peter fiddling with the Orb. After giving his birth name, Peter says Korath might know him by another name: Star-Lord. This is met with a confused expression followed by “Who?” Disappointment level 9000.
To poke fun at Star-Lord’s forgettable name, the Nova Corps gets his name wrong during the lineup scene. In his description, his alias name reads “Space-Lord.” No wonder he was flipping the camera the bird.
