The first character to be named Quill in Marvel Comics, first appeared in Captain Britain v2, #7 and was created by Jamie Delano and Alan Davis. He was one of the Warpies, a group of superhumans created by the Jaspers' Warp. Quill and his fellow Warpies were taken in by the British government organisation, the Resources Control Executive (the R.C.X.). Quill and several of the Warpies were trained for combats and formed the Cherubim. Quill was their leader and they attacked Captain Britain, but were later taken in by him and his sister Elisabeth Braddock. (Captain Britain v2, #7-9)
The Warpies were later abducted by the new R.C.X. and again came into conflict with Captain Britain, who was now part of Excalibur. The Warpies were all slowly turning into humans, but the new R.C.X. had told them that they were dying. Excalibur uncovered the truth and told the Warpies. They also freed the original leaders of the R.C.X. and left the Warpies in their care. (Excalibur #61-65)
The Warpies were abducted shortly afterwards by Black Air, another government organisation. Black Air experimented upon the Warpies in an attempt to keep them superhuman. Their experiments succeeded, but the Warpies were saved by Mastermind who made them his soldiers. Quill was one of his most loyal soldiers. Under Mastermind's leadership, the Warpies attacked and destroyed most of the Captain Britain Corps. They were defeated by Captain Britain, who then used his new powers to turn the Warpies, including Quill, into regular humans. (Excalibur: Sword of Power #1-4)

[edit] Trivia
- During the school dance, Quill asked Surge for a dance.
- Quill was voted "Class Clown" in the New X-Men: Academy X Yearbook.
- In Gambit v4, #10, Quill got busted trying to steal test answers from the headmaster’s office. Kitty Pryde assigned him and his accomplices, George and Winston (who are presumably depowered and no longer reside at the school), to be mentored by Gambit, but instead of making them see the error of their way, he taught the boys some real thieving techniques.

[edit] Film
Quill appears as a member of The Omegas in the film X-Men: The Last Stand. Though this movie character, played by Ken Leung, is listed in the screen credits as "Kid Omega", the movie character is unrelated to the Marvel character Kid Omega. The script writer Zak Penn later revealed that this was a mistake, as the character was clearly meant to be Quill. [1] In The Last Stand, Quill was a cocky guy. He killed Dr. Kavita Rao (assistant of Warren Worthington II, the father of Angel), and he almost killed Dr. Worthington II. The latter was saved by his son. In the end he was destoyed by Phoenix along with Arclight and Psylocke.
