J'son is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. He is the father of Star-Lord.
J'son of Spartax first appeared in Marvel Preview #11 and was created by Chris Claremont and John Byrne.
In 2000, a character Prince Jason of Spartax is introduced in Inhumans Vol. 3 #2. He was originally meant to be the same Marvel Preview #11 Jason, but from earlier in time.
In 2004, when Peter Quill is introduced into the Earth-616 continuity, the events of Marvel Preview #11 and other appearances of "classic" Star-Lord are officially designated as occurring in Earth-791 due to continuity issues.
In 2013, J'son of Spartax is introduced in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. Due to continuity issues, it is assumed that Prince Jason of Spartax from Inhumans Vol. 3 exists in Earth-616, but is a different character from Emperor J'son of Spartax from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. There is no official explanation for these continuity issues.
When J'son's ship crash lands on Earth, he is taken in by Meredith Quill. The two form a relationship while J'son makes repairs to his ship. Eventually, J'son is forced to leave to return home and fight in a war. He leaves, not knowing Meredith is pregnant with Peter Quill.
Years later, J'son is revealed to be the King of the Spartax planetary system. J'son joined other members of the Galactic Council to declare the Earth off-limits to extraterrestrial interaction. Once his son defended Earth from a Badoon attack, J'son sent Spartoi soldiers to capture him and his team called the Guardians of the Galaxy. However, the Guardians managed to escape and flee.
In an attempt to finally get rid of the Guardians and make his son join him, all of the Guardians were separately dealt with by the Spartoi and its allies. However, they didn't count with the Guardians' ally Captain Marvel, who saved Peter Quill from J'son and the Spartoi Empire. As he was escaping, Quill discredited J'son to the whole empire revealing him as a heartless murderer. The entire Spartoi Empire rebelled against J'son, who was forced to flee.
With no longer an empire or fortune as seen in The Black Vortex storyline, J'son became the villain known as Mister Knife and started building a criminal empire. He put a bounty on his son, and also assembled the Slaughter Squad to recover the Black Vortex.
