Ravager T'Challa

The "Ravager T'Challa" Universe is an alternate reality where T'Challa was kidnapped as a child and joined the Ravagers, becoming a force of good across the galaxy.
==History==
===Kidnapping of T'Challa===
In order to complete his expansion, Ego hired Yondu to kidnap Ego's son, Peter Quill, to use him as a power source. Udonta outsourced this assignment to his subordinates. In Wakanda, young T'Challa expressed a desire to explore the world outside his homeland, but his father T'Chaka told him he'd only find evil and destruction.
At night, while T'Challa was practicing throwing his spear at the outskirts of Wakanda, he was abducted by Kraglin Obfonteri and Taserface. When Udonta berated the two for abducting the wrong kid, Obfonteri defended himself by saying anything of extraterrestrial origin would've been in Wakanda due to the cosmic emmisions their sensors picked up. Udonta, noticing that T'Challa did not seem freaked out, offered him a chance to explore the galaxy.What If...?: 1.02: What If... T'Challa Became a Star-Lord?
===Adventures with Star-Lord===
====Swaying Thanos====
With T'Challa on the Ravagers' side, they were transformed into a team for good peace. While on their adventures, Yondu Udonta lied to T'Challa, telling him Wakanda was destroyed. Eventually, T'Challa encountered Thanos, a Titan hellbent on acheiving universal prosperity by eradicating half of all life. Instead of fighting Thanos, T'Challa not only told him of other ways to distribute the universe's resources, he convinced him to abandon his quest and join the Ravagers.
====Robbing a Bank====
Star-Lord and the Ravagers traveled to Tarnax IV and robbed the Central Bank, hurting Skrulls in the process. The Ravagers earned enough money from the job to purchase new teeth for Kraglin Obfonteri.
====Providing for Ankarans====
The Ravagers donated weaponry to the Ankarans in an Ankaran resistance group. However, the mission proved to be extremely dangerous even by the Ravagers' standards, and the team barely made it out of Ankara alive.
====Attack on Drax's Species====
Due to his dislike for a certain species, Ronan the Accuser traveled to their planet and attempted to massacre the the race living there. The Ravagers intervened and six days into Ronan's attack, the planet was taken back, saving many of them such as Ovette and Kamaria.
====Stealing the Orb====
Star-Lord traveled to Morag in order to steal the Orb from a vault. He was successful, although he was confronted by Korath the Pursuer and a group of Sakaarans soldiers. However, Korath recognized Star-Lord as a legendary outlaw and bowed before him. He asked if he could join Star-Lord, but his offer was declined. The two fought, and it ended when Star-Lord tricked Korath into knocking himself out. Under fire from the Sakaarans, Star-Lord slung Korath over his shoulder and ran out of the vault, where he was confronted by even more Sakaarans.
Unfazed, Star-Lord called out that "a Ravager never flies solo", signaling to a hiding Yondu Udonta to massacre the soldiers with his Yaka Arrow. When Star-Lord gave Udonta the Orb, the latter suggested they sell it to the highest bidder like the old days, but Star-Lord replied that they should use it to revive the Krylorians dying star and save their solar system from extinction. The two then left the planet with Korath in tow while The Watcher looked on.
====Planning a Heist====
T'Challa and Yondu Udonta arrived at Contraxia, where they talked with Thanos and Drax took several pictures with T'Challa. T'Challa went over to Nebula, who inspected the Orb, and encouraged her to speak to her father, but she refused. She asked T'Challa if he ever wanted to return to Wakanda, but he explained to her that Udonta told him Wakanda was destroye. Nebula then informed T'Challa that she had a job for him.
Nebula gathered the Ravagers for a briefing on the Embers of Genesis, ancient cosmic dust with the power to completely terraform and rejuvenate ecosystems. She told them the Embers were on Knowhere, where the Collector had taken Thanos' spot as the evil warlord of the galaxy. Hearing that the Collector was involved, Udonta backed out, but was followed out of the briefing room and convinced to take the job by T'Challa. The two returned to the briefing room while Thanos discussed the Black Order, the Collector's security. Nebula suggested that T'Challa go right through the front door by hiding in a container while Korath and Thanos cause a distraction. T'Challa then added that the Ravagers will fight the Black Order, giving him enough time to find and retrieve the Embers.
====Theft of the Embers of Genesis====
=====Stage One=====
The Ravagers flew to Knowhere, and Nebula and Yondu Udonta hid T'Challa in a container. Nebula and Udonta were then greeted by Carina, who presented them to Taneleer Tivan, the Collector. Thanos and Korath got into a fight to distract the Black Order, causing Ebony Maw to order security to report to their positions. Tivan greeted Nebula and Udonta, while Udonta asked to do business with him and Nebula told him they brought what they asked for. 
In the museum, T'Challa found Howard the Duck in captivity, who is freed by T'Challa to act as his tour guide. As the Ravagers continued fighting, Proxima Midnight realized the fight was a distraction and sounded the alarms. T'Challa saw gates closing as a result of the alarm, leading him to abandon Howard and roll under a gate just in time. Suddenly, his necklace began reacting to the presence of a Royal Talon Fighter. Entering a hangar, T'Challa found mannequins of Dora Milaje and a message from his father, pleading for his son T'Challa to come home, causing T'Challa to realize Udonta lied to him about the destruction of Wakanda. As part of the plan, Nebula barged in on T'Challa and threw him and Udonta in a cell with other Ravgers.
=====Stage Two=====
In the cell, T'Challa furiously confronted Udonta about his deception concerning the status of Wakanda. Udonta attempted to defend himself by saying that Earth was no place for someone like T'Challa, but T'Challa retorted that he and the Ravagers were never family. Tivan summmoned T'Challa and relegated him to a display case, before getting bored and ordering Maw to dissect his prisoner. Nebula walked back to the Ravagers' cell, where Korath yelled at her, thinking she had truly betrayed him, before she shot Corvus Glaive, revealing her triple cross to her allies. 
Nebula and the Ravagers made their way through the Collector's museum and Nebula revealed she had successfully stolen the Embers of Genesis while T'Challa broke out of his container. Before he could do anything, Maw restrained him with telekinesis, but was killed by Carina, who decided to join the Ravagers' cause. Midnight alerted the facility to the Ravagers' escape Tivan and T'Challa dueled. The Ravagers attempted to retreat back to their ship, but were attacked by Black Dwarf and Midnight, leading Thanos to stay behind and fight the two. However, Thanos began to get overpowered by the combined might of Dwarf and Midnight, causing Nebula to return and force Dwarf to ingest some of the Embers. Thanos and Nebula used the stalks sprouting from Dwarf's body to return to their ship.
Udonta and T'Challa, still with the Collector, teamed up to battle him, but they were both defeated by the warlord. Tivan picked up Udonta and brutally attacked him, but Udonta managed to steal his bracelet. When Tivan went to use his bracelet, Udonta revealed he'd stolen it before passing it to Carina, who used it to free every creature and specimen from their cages, leaving Tivan at his former captives' mercy. As plants and vegetation spread over the planet, T'Challa and Udonta escaped in a Royal Talon Fighter with Cosmo in tow. On board the ship, T'Challa agreed to rendevouz with Nebula and the rest of the Ravagers before forgiving Udonta for his deception. Udonta then encouraged T'Challa to return to Wakanda and reunite with his family.
===Return to Wakanda===
The Ravagers arrived back on Earth in Wakanda to meet T'Challa's biological family. They entered the Citadel, where they were greeted by T'Chaka, Ramonda, Shuri, and the Dora Milaje. A party was held to celebrate the lost prince's return, at which Thanos told Okoye about his plan to wipe out half of all life, and she informed him it sounded like genocide. T'Chaka asked Yondu Udonta how T'Challa ended up on Udonta's ship, causing Udonta to become flustered, but T'Challa explained to his father that Udonta found him when he was lost.
===Ego's Expansion===
====Finding Peter Quill====
As the Ravagers failed to deliver his son Peter Quill to him, Ego traveled to Earth himself and approached his offspring at a in Missouri. Quill, who was cleaning up the restaurant, informed Ego that they were closed, but Ego asked him if he had time for his dad.
He then began painfully draining Quill's Celestial energy to power his expansion, terraforming multiple planets and spreading his essence where he had planted his seedlings. This alerted Star-Lord and the Ravagers, who arrived to stop Ego and save Quill. Star-Lord broke through a window of the Dairy Queen and planted an explosive on Ego before grabbing Quill. As the explosive detonated and Star-Lord set Quill on the ground, the former noticed The Watcher lurking in the sky. The Watcher took Star-Lord to join a team of heroes plucked from across the Multiverse, assembled by the Watcher to stop the rogue AI Ultron from eradicating all life in the Multiverse. The Guardians succeeded in their mission and Star-Lord was returned to his universe at the exact moment he left. He then taught Quill had to use a Quad Blaster to fight Ego.What If...?: 1.09: What If... The Watcher Broke His Oath?
