When James Gunn, the director of "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" movie, decided that Star-Lord's father was Ego the Living Planet, he didn't know that problems lay ahead. First off, Ego the Living Planet was the property of 20th Century Fox. Second, he didn't have a backup plan.
Good for him, 20th Century Fox went to Marvel and wanted to trade properties. 20th Century Fox was keen on producing "Deadpool" and needed some other properties to complete the cast. Yahoo! reports that in the swap that took place between 20th Century Fox and Marvel, Negasonic Teenage Warhead went to 20th Century Fox, while Marvel got Ego, of course.
That was the point when the "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" movie storyline got completed. 20th Century Fox chose Negasonic mainly for the name.
In the comics, Negasonic Teenage Warhead is a mutant with psychic powers. However, in "Deadpool," 20th Century Fox studio changed her power to explosive blasts. For this, they had to have the permission of Marvel. It was at then that they approached Marvel about swapping powers and trading characters.
