In 1988, Yondu went to Earth on a delivery mission to take Peter Quill to his father, but instead of doing that, he kept the boy and trained him to be a Ravager.

On Morag, he discovered Quill had taken the Orb for himself after Yondu had set up an arrangement for its sale with the Broker, so he issued a bounty for Quill's capture.

When Quill gave his location away to save Gamora, Yondu quickly abducted the two on his ship. They later decided to work together to get the Orb from Ronan the Accuser, on the condition that Yondu would get the Orb once they had succeeded. During the Battle of Xandar, Yondu's M-ship was quickly shot down but he killed several Sakaarans single-handed using his arrow and later witnessed Ronan's death. Yondu left Xandar with a fake Orb given to him by Quill but decided not to go back. He was amused to discover that Quill had replaced the Infinity Stone with a Troll doll.
