DESIGN NOTES
This version of Star-Lord is pretty straightforward copy of the canonical Star-Lord datafile, with the following exceptions. Chadwick Boseman's Star-Lord is very chill. That is his real super-power as far as I'm concerned. I pretty much based his Distinctions on Black Panther, updated to his new cosmic background. As for his specialties, I put them more in line with the canonical Star-Lord, because that's pretty much T'Challa's background in the current continuum. The major, major change I made was to make him a PSYCH Grandmaster, to reflect how much this Star-Lord leans on his emotional intelligence over his superpowers and fighting ability. And that it really, really works! 'Nuff Said!
