After they complete a deal with the Kree, the Guardians of the Galaxy are found and approached by a man claiming to be Quill's father, J'son of Spartax. His planet is on the brink of destruction, if they cannot find a worthy challenger for the Champion of the Universe, one of the elders of the universe on his eternal quest to find the strongest fighters. J'son has located the Black Vortex, a weapon capable of putting up a decent fight, and asks the Guardians to fetch it. However, the Kree find out about it and send their own people after it. And are J'son's intentions really as pure as he claims them to be?
