There are layers to what works about this quote . For starter , it ’s Star - Lord revealing how he views himself in the grand strategy of the coltsfoot . Call it bragging , call it submit the fact , but he ’s unquestionably highlighting how he perceives himself more than anything . It also highlights that despite how many time he ’s saved the world , he still has to justify his credentials to other masses . Considering that he ’s arrested immediately after the fact suggests that the justification is necessary , but also is n’t unfailing .
Maybe it ’s his repute as an outlaw that prevents him from being revered in the same vein as other Marvel heroes , like a Spider - Man for instance , someone who has saved the world multiple times and does n’t take to denote who he is . If one matter is for sure , it ’s that the Guardians of the Galaxy still are n’t as universally beloved in - universe as the Avengers or cristal - Men .

Guardians of the Galaxy(2008) #8 by Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning, Clint Langley, Brad Walker, Victor Olazaba, Will Quintana, and VC’s Joe Caramagna
Star - Lord is n’t someone that everyone in the Marvel Universe would call a good man . He ’s decidedly not a bad human being , because his intentions are often unspoilt , but like any criminal , he ’s not afraid to commit bad offenses to ensure good thing chance . Take , for example , the fact that operate into this series , the Guardians have broken up because it was revealed that the whole reason they ’re together is that Peter convinced Mantis to manipulate everyone ’s minds into wanting to form together .

As he ’s fight for his life history during this violent destruction sentence , he does n’t mind that he could pass at any moment . Star - Lord only minds that he does n’t have an audience giving him their full , exclusive attention .
