About Yondu
Yondu Udonta is a member of the Zatoan tribe, primitive beings native to Centauri IV. He is a hunter, we like that. In 2049 A.D. after his planet was the first humans colonized outside of our solar system his people fled. Yondu is born in the late thirtieth century. 

First Appearance
Marvel Superheroes #18 was created by Arnold Drake and artist Gene Colan. The issue was dated January, 1969.  In the 31st Century, a group of diverse aliens become freedom fighters. . The founding members are Vance Astro , Charlie-27, Yondu and Matrix. The Guardians were formed to fight the the Badoon, a race that had conquered the Sol system and the Alpha Centauri system. In Marvel comics the home reality of the Guardians of the Galaxy has been designated Earth-691.

In Guardians of the Galaxy
Played by one of me and my daughters favorite actors Michael Rooker, Yondu is the father figure to Peter Quill and leader of the Ravagers, a band of outlaw mercenaries.
