Super Hero Squad Online: Star-Lord, Legendary Outlaw, Finally Arrives
By Nick Tylwalk
Okay, so we learned in Guardians of the Galaxy that Star-Lord’s legendary status might be a slight embellishment on his part. Does that make Peter Quill any less cool?

I say no. And that’s why Super Hero Squad Online players have been waiting for him to show up, and why they’re probably pretty psyched that he’s finally here. Jr. S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents can play with Star-Lord now, helping to keep the galaxy safe with his Outlaw Charge, Electric Bola and Awesome Leadership abilities. And if you save up all your stars, he can unleash one explosive attack, suitable for taking down bosses.
Fittingly, since the gang is all here now, it’s also a Guardians of the Galaxy Bonus XP Weekend. Play as Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot or Star-Lord (sorry Drax, your day will come!) and receive extra XP in missions through September 29 at 12:01 am Pacific time. And if you missed out on Gamora for some reason, you can watch Eric “Eat Snacks” put her through her paces on a new episode of Squad Time, which we’ve conveniently embedded below.
Oh, and one more thing: enter the code “STRLRDXP” and you’ll get a free XP potion delivered by Star-Lord himself. Actually, we probably made that last part up, but you’ll never know if you don’t snap to it and Hero Up.
