History
Jason was the only son of the previous Spartoi Emperor Eson, and therefore was the Prince and sole heir to the throne. Rejecting his idealism, the ruling Council of Ministers prevented J'son from taking the throne. The future emperor would be educated, as per Spartax tradition, by being brought up on dozens of the Empire's planets working many professions, including servant, miner, poet, soldier and pilot - excelling in the latter two.[4]
When Ronan the Accuser of the Kree Empire forced the Inhuman Royal Family to attempt to assassinate the Empress Lilandra, ruler of the neighboring Shi'ar Empire[1] during a wedding ceremony that would symbolically unite the Shi'ar and Spartoi, Jason (who had been seen with the Inhumans) was accused of being part of the plot. For this, he was banished and deemed unworthy of the throne.[5]Paraphernalia

Notes
- Prince Jason of Spartax who only appeared in the 2000 Inhumans miniseries was originally intended to be the younger version of Emperor Jason of Sparta, who in the future would become the father of Star-Lord who appeared in Marvel Preview #11.
- However, later appearances by adult Star-Lord beginning in Thanos #8 made it impossible for that to be the case, as both stories were taking place in the modern age only a few years apart from one another.
- New backstory for Peter Quill of Earth-616 given in Guardians of the Galaxy (Vol. 3) #0.1 also introduced a different version of his father; King J'son of Spartax. Incompatible with this new backstory, the stories involving classic Star-Lord and his father Jason were determined to take place in the reality of Earth-791. This left Prince Jason from 2000 as character separate from both the classic Jason who appeared in 1977-1980 and the modern J'son who appeared from 2013 onwards.
