"Apparently I didn't mess up with him... not as far as I know." He did, actually, in a big way. But otherwise had been supportive to T'challa for much of his life.

"I was an asshole to Quill. I hade to protect 'im from my own crew and his father. They hated him, and the more it looked like I favored 'im? They hated me. And his father woulda killed 'im. His father was real powerful, so I needed my crew to keep 'em at bay.

"So it was a case of not bein' too carin' towards Quill, makin' 'im strong enough to take care of himself, not lettin' 'im know his blood father was out lookin' for 'im 'cause if he went to 'im, he'd be dead. So to Quill I was just some asshole that kidnapped him and beat the shit out of him..."

Everything good that happened was after his death. What little he could find was that Peter called him a good man. An asshole, but a good man. It wasn't a lot, but it was about the best he could manage.

"So yeah, it's concerns about what I'll do here... Honestly I don't know why I picked up this kid instead of Quill. He ain't one of Ego's."
