Marvel Confirms Polyamory Bisexual Star-Lord Character
JAKARTA - Marvel comics confirms that Peter Quill, aka Star-Lord, is a polyamorous bisexual.
As graphic novel fans know, Star-Lord's future is uncertain after he faces a heroic death in Guardians of Galaxy # 2.
The good news is that the space cowboys are back and better than ever in the latest series from Al Ewing. Launching Screenrant, Tuesday, December 15, the sexuality of Star-Lord characters is even explored in a much deeper way.
In Guardians of the Galaxy # 9, I Shall Make You a Star-Lord it is revealed that this human / Spartoi hybrid did not actually die in an explosion but penetrated a parallel universe, where he was trapped on the planet Morinus for 140 years.
The story shows him traveling through the Twelve Houses of Morinus in the company of two of his friends, Aradia and Mors. It was with this pair of blue-skinned humanoids that Star-Lord began a polyamorous relationship.
When they first offered to Star-Lord for a relationship, the cowboy was initially against the idea, because he still had hope of returning to his true love, Gamora.
Fast forward 12 years and Star-Lord has finally opened up to the couple. Their love triangle is confirmed with a frame showing the three of them bathing together in a ceremonial shrine, an intimate scene immersed in bisexual lighting.
“You are my home,” Star-Lord told them as the three of them embraced. That relationship lasted for more than 100 years.
Star-Lord has always been presented as a male female figure, both in the Marvel Cinematic Universe - where he is played by Chris Pratt - and in his comics. However, what is shown is only the surface.
The character has undergone many changes since it was created in the 1970s. And Al Ewing's tenure on the series has brought him back even further.
Graphic novels generally tend to make bolder moves than media, so it's unclear whether Star-Lord's bisexuality will be explored further in the upcoming Marvel Cinematic Universe project.
Meanwhile, the comic edition of Guardians Of The Galaxy # 10, will be released in early January next year.
