Iason Marvel is a fictional character in the comic book universe of Marvel Comics Corporation. He is not a very well-known hero, as he rarely appears on the pages of comic book issues, and even more so on television.

Iason Marvel. Who is this?

If we talk about what people Jason belongs to, then it is worth noting right away that he is not a person. He is a representative of the alien people of Sparta, who are almost identical in appearance to the human race.

Not only is he a foreign alien, but he is also considered the prince of the Great Spartan Galactic Empire. Such a high post and status obliges Jason Marvel to take some action. It is the obligations of the prince of the Empire that will force him to leave the Earth he so loved.

Iason Marvel and Star-Lord

An important fact is that in the comics he is the father of the notorious Marvel hero Peter Quill, who would later become Star-Lord.

Iason Marvel and Peter did not know about each other's existence for a long time and, of course, did not meet. Although once they did get to know each other.

How did it happen that an alien became the father of a man? Everything is very simple. Once upon a time, a misfortune happened to Jason - his cosmicthe ship crashed, and he was forced to make an emergency landing somewhere in the US state of Colorado.

Here in the mountains he was found by a simple American named Meredith Quill. She took him out, healed his wounds and even helped fix the ship.

During his time with Meredith, Jason truly fell in love with her, however, as mentioned above, the duty of the prince of the Galactic Empire has its obligations. One of them is the need to participate in the war.

For this reason, Jason Marvel left his beloved. To save her from suffering, he had to erase her memory.

Lord Jason Marvel's son

Meridith, completely forgetting about her recent lover because of the erased memory, got married, and after only a few months she became a mother prematurely. The girl's husband was shocked that the baby was completely different from him, so he even made an attempt to kill the child, but unexpectedly died of a heart attack.

It is interesting that at the moment the baby was born, all the planets lined up in one row.

Meridith gave the child the name Peter and her last name, because she did not remember her son's father, and she did not want to give her dead husband's last name because of his attempt to deal with her son.

Interesting facts from the biography

Iason Marvel after he left the Earth, unaware that he has a son, became the king of the planet Spartax. Together with other planets, Jason declares the Earth not subject to interaction.

He learns aboutthat he has a son who managed to protect his planet from the attack of extraterrestrial invaders belonging to the Badun race.

Iason, later nicknamed Mr. Knife and becoming a supervillain, orders the capture of Peter and his entire team, called the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Despite all Iason's attempts to destroy Peter's friends one by one and win over his son to his side, he fails, because he did not take into account that among Peter's friends there is Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers), who eventually helped the Guardians get out of a difficult situation.

Because of this defeat, Iason Marvel had to leave his native Spartax. He lost everything: power, we alth and status. Embittered by fate, he begins to build a criminal empire, taking on the alias Mr. Knife.

A new supervillain founds the Massacre Squad to recreate an ancient artifact known as the Black Vortex. In addition, he announces a reward for the capture of his son.

Star-Lord (Peter) is forced to attack Mr. Knife's criminal organization with his team. Then Quill did not even suspect that he was fighting with his own father. When they are face to face Jason reveal the truth to him.

As a result, Jason ended up in an amber prison created by the mighty villain Thanos.

Conclusion

Iason Marvel is the natural father of Peter Quill, known as Star-Lord and the leader of the protective organization known as the Guardians of the Galaxy, only in the comics. In the 2017 film Guardians of the Galaxy2 Peter Quill's father was another character in the universe, which bears the name of the planet Ego.

It often happens when the same story is interpreted differently in movies and comics, even when both are created by the same company.

Iason Marvel is a fairly significant character in Marvel comics, so in certain circles of print superhero comics fans, he is quite well known. However, most people do not know about the existence of such a fictional comic book character, as they are mainly guided by the company's cinematic universe, in which far from all characters are present.

Be that as it may, Iason has a significant influence on the development of the Guardians of the Galaxy comic series, so it is worth remembering him.
