Prepare for a new era of cosmic adventure, as Marvel has revealed a new Star-lord for 2099: Amandla Estrellas. She is a Wakandan Space Goddess and the ideal successor to Peter Quill's legacy. While we've seen glimpses of Amandla in previous previews, Annihilation 2099 #2 reveals her origin story, powers, and impressive costume.
Amandla Estrellas serves as Star-lord and Independent Stellar Security. She's a fervent warrior who fights to keep planets safe from destruction, motivated by the tragedy of her own world's destruction. Amandla was rescued by a Wakandan relief team and raised on Planet Wakanda, where she learned how to guard the stars.
Amandla's trusty sidekick is Ship (also known as Umbingeleli), a sentient spaceship that is even cooler than Peter Quill's old ride. Ship was built on Planet Wakanda and is powered by vibranium. It also has adamantine psychic shields and cavorite anti-gravity technology. Amandla's suit and powerful Starhammer (which resembles Thor's Mjolnir) are also vibranium-powered. She's a formidable opponent, armed with cutting-edge technology and quick thinking in battle.
The title "Star-Lord" has always been associated with Peter Quill, but it has never been passed down through generations in the same way that Captain America or Spider-Man are. Amandla Estrellas changes all of that. She embodies the Star-Lord spirit with pride and dedication, demonstrating that Peter's legacy is in capable hands.
Amandla's adoption of the Star-Lord name indicates that Peter Quill's influence on the galaxy was profound and inspiring. She's more than just a new hero; she exemplifies the enduring power of Peter's legacy. With Amandla at the helm, the Star-Lord name's future looks bright, and the year 2099 is in good hands.
