Peter himself would be rolling his eyes.
But like life, our decisions only take us so far then things are in the universe's hands. Raised by his human mother, abandoned by his birth father (who is also a space king, because comics), lost his mother while she was trying to protect him, raised in an orphanage, escaped to space in a stolen ship, and was raised by space pirates; Quill is no stranger to, well, the strange. He has saved the universe countless times (even for a comic book character, which is saying a lot) and never received anything in return but the smiles of his friends.
