Star-Lord's Helmet was an expanding partial helmet worn by Peter Quill.
History
When Star-Lord was on the planet Morag to obtain the Orb, he activated the helmet to escape from Korath the Pursuer.
The helmet was taken from Quill when he was imprisoned by the Nova Corps on the Kyln. During his escape, he retrieved it along with his other belongings. After retrieving his Walkman, he used the helmet to protect himself from the vacuum of space to get to the Milano.
When Gamora's pod was destroyed during the Skirmish on Knowhere, Quill put the helmet on Gamora to protect her from the vacuum of space until they were rescued by the Ravagers.
During the Battle of Xandar, Quill used the helmet during his fight with the Sakaarans.[1]
During the Battle on Sovereign, Quill used the helmet as protection while he attacked the Abilisk.
Quill again used the helmet to confront his father, with him using it to scan the ever-shifting terrain. The helmet was destroyed when Ego threw Peter backwards, cracking and breaking it in two in the midst of the battle.[2]
By 2018, Quill had repaired the helmet for reuse, and continued to use it in the battle against Thanos. However, when Thanos assembled the complete Infinity Gauntlet and wiped out half the universe, it was disintegrated along with Quill.[3]
