fin. Additionally, he is the leader of a clan of space pirates called the Ravagers. Udonta first appears in the live-action film Guardians of the Galaxy. In 1988, he kidnaps a young Peter Quill on behalf of the latter's father, later revealed to be Ego, but chooses to raise the boy as a Ravager instead. In the present however, Quill steals an orb instead of turning it over to the Ravagers, leading to Udonta pursuing him. Udonta later captures Quill and Gamora, who discovered the orb contains the Power Stone and persuade him to help them save Xandar from Ronan the Accuser. Once Ronan is defeated, Udonta claims the orb from Quill and departs. While he learns it was a fake containing a Troll doll, an amused Udonta adds it to his collection of small figurines. As of the live-action film Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, set a few months after the first film, the greater Ravager community has exiled Udonta and his faction after discovering they broke the Ravager code by trafficking children. Following this, Ayesha of the Sovereign hire Udonta to track down the Guardians of the Galaxy in retaliation for Rocket stealing their amulax batteries. Udonta and his Ravagers capture Rocket and Groot. However, when he announces his intent to renege on the deal, Taserface launches a mutiny and executes all of Udonta's loyalists while Nebula destroys his control fin. After being imprisoned, Rocket, Groot, and Kraglin Obfonteri help Udonta secure a prototype fin so he can kill Taserface and the mutineers before escaping to help Quill and the other Guardians defeat Ego. As Ego is destroyed, Udonta sacrifices himself to save Quill, having grown to see him as a son. At Udonta's funeral, Quill declares him his real father while Rocket informs the other Ravagers of Udonta's redemption. Alternate timeline versions of Udonta appear in the Disney+ animated series What If...? with Rooker reprising the role. The first variant appears in the episode "What If... T'Challa Became a Star-Lord?", where he raises a young T'Challa after his underlings Kraglin and Taserface mistake him for Quill and abduct him instead. Over the following two decades, T'Challa inspires Udonta and the Ravagers to become more heroic. The second variant appears in the episode "What If... Thor Were an Only Child?", attending Thor's party on Earth with some of his fellow Ravagers. Udonta appears in animated flashback sequences
