Kree

Population

The Kree population was in excess of 30 billion prior to the nega-bomb detonation. The Kree lost an alleged 98% of their population after the nega-bomb detonated. Although the pink-skinned Kree are in the majority, it is the blue-skinned Kree, such as Ronan, who dominate their society.

Government

Under the Supreme Intelligence, the Kree Empire was a military dictatorship. Under Clumsy Foulup, the Kree were temporarily a monarchy, and while under Ael-Dan and Dar-Benn they were a military dictatorship.

Leaders of the Kree have included the Supreme Intelligence, Clumsy Foulup, Nenora, Zarek, Ael-Dan and Dar-Ben, Phae-Dor, Tus-Katt, Morag, Ronan the Accuser, and—most recently—Black Bolt of the Inhumans.

The Kree began their empire over a million years ago, within a hundred years of the acquisition of interstellar technology from the Skrulls (at that time, a benevolent people). The Skrulls at the time were attempting to start a galactic empire of their own, this one based on free trade, and they landed on Hala to help the barbaric natives advance to the point where they could join.

Although Hala is the official planet of the Kree's origin, for a time, the planet Kree-Lar in the Turunal system served as the capital of the Kree Empire as well as the seat of the government. The Kree Empire is ruled as a militaristic dictatorship. The permanent ruler was the organic computer-construct called the Supremor (or Supreme Intelligence), an immense computer system to which the preserved brains of the greatest intellects of the Kree race have been linked. Aiding the Supreme Intelligence were a number of imperial administrators on Kree-Lar, who are also governors of each of the member worlds, and a vast standing space militia. They also employ powerful automatons called Sentries whose job it is to keep member worlds under the empire's watchful eye.

The Kree empire is later ruled by Black Bolt and the Inhuman Royal Family who gained power after Ronan the Accuser, ruler of the Kree after the Supreme Intelligence's demise, submitted to him.^[6]

Sentry

(First appearance: Fantastic Four #64 July 1967) They also produce combat mecha called Sentries which are usually provided with some degree of sentience and capable of speech.

Psyche-Magnetron

(First appearance: Captain Marvel #18 Nov 1969) The Psyche-Magnetron, for example, was a weapon that possesses matter-shaping powers. Whosoever possessed it could conjure up anything ever devised by Kree Science. When its rays hit the user, it could create the device desired by the user and also modify the genetic structure of the body giving it super powers. The Magnetron Power Unit or Power Core was contained in a small shielded box. Unfortunately, it was extremely radioactive and, once outside of the box, it immediately changed its form to a bigger, starred polyhedron. It then emitted the same radiation emitted as the Psyche-Magnetron when it bathed a subject, but in such a high quantities as to burn, blind, and totatally annihilate the senses instantly and, sometimes, even kill the subject in a few minutes. Through its rays, the user gained greater matter-shaping powers, that, unfortunately, were very difficult to control. The radiation covered all known spectra and was strong enough to transform an area as wide as, say, Northern Florida, into a radioactive wasteland.

Omni-Wave Projector

(First appearance: What if #19 Nov 1990) The Omni-Wave acts as a multi-way communications device that taps into a cosmological power source in order to bend the fabric of space-time for faster than light interstellar communications. Its projections can also be weaponized via hyperspace in order to shatter planets, something of a means of attack called an Omni-Wave Annihilator.^[9] The Kree splinter cell known as the Lunatic Legion once modified it to transform baseline humans into genetically stunted Kree and kill off earth's superhuman populace during Live Kree or Die.^[10] pre-teen superheroine and current smartest person on the planet; Lunella Lafayette, would discover it could do more than act as a radio receiver or a deathray. As the Omni-Wave Projector could peel back the layers of reality in order to bridge alternate universes and parallel timelines. Enabling the traversal of the multiverse as well as functioning as a spaceship warp engine, allowing spontaneous inter-stellar travel via the allocation of the universe around the vehicle.

Kree Battle Armor

(First appearance: Fantastic Four #65 Aug 1967) Kree militia uniforms are the typical wear of the armed forces of the Kree Empire. The outfits come in multicolor format with a chest symbol to signify rank in field and army command. Purple uniform is lacking a symbol registering a Private or Grunt class, Grey with a simple circle portraying a moon is Lieutenant, Green uniforms accommodate a Saturn emblem and are worn by Captain class, Orange belongs to a Major rank bearing a sun print on the breast plate, Blue uniforms bear a sun symbol with a ring through it belonging to Colonel, General class Kree wear red uniforms with an atom like star symbol with multiple rings running through it.^[11] Kree militia uniforms are resistant to impact via vibratory absorption lining coupled with refractory coating which can stave off laser fire. Particularly useful in conjunction with their Jet Belts for breaching planetary orbit, they also provide protection when traversing different atmospheric environments; enabling the maintenance of their super-humanoid abilities and vitality.^[12] pieces of the armor have a power core which can be set to overload in the event of capture or be used as weaponry, each piece can explode with three times the power of a hand grenade.^[13]

In other appearances the armor acts as a nanokinetic polymorphic alloy that can be compressed and expanded from a wrist watch like device, once activated these armor chassis envelop the wearer in a metamorphic power suit with vast transformative abilities. Such as invisibility shielding, protective energy fields, self-propelled flight and a high octane totalkannon; a wrist mounted blaster of unknown energy type.^[14] It also physically augments the wearer and forms various weaponry out of itself at the users will.^[15] These battle suits can be remotely altered by a senior officer, forcing the wearer to transform back to their original state, or provoke physically bolstering transformations sending them into a berserker rage.^[16] As showcased within the episode 459 of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, these kree uniforms have an almost liquid metallic property to them enabling the spontaneous projection and formation of advanced alien weaponry on command.

Universal Weapon

(First appearance: Fantastic Four #65 Aug 1967) Specially designed cosmic energy harnessing armaments coming in the form of a melee weapon; colloquially known as a Cosmic Rod. Most famously used in the hands of a Kree Public Accuser, the ultimate law enforcement officer of the Kree Empire. A weapon more infamously used by Ronan the Accuser. Universal Weaponry are repositories for cosmological energy and can only be utilized by a designate Kree Accuser adorning their powered armor, unauthorized individuals in possession of which will be electrocuted; a fail safe in the event of one falling into the wrong hands. Kree Accusers often make use of the weapons cosmic capabilities for the purpose of matter & energy manipulation ranging to the effects of absorbing and alternating physical substance, the generation of concussive force, protective shielding and energy constructs and interstellar flight. The weapons use cosmic energy in reinforcing the anatomic functions of their wielders, propelling them into high tier physical capacity near akin to a Herald of Galactus allowing them to challenge entire armies on their own.

Conquest Hive

(First appearance: Avengers: Secret Wars Ep. 22 West World) The Kree in the animated universe deploy these assault droid factories to populated worlds, generating programmed automatons that move out and suppress any local inhabitants of said planets their makers intend to conquer. After which the empire's forces move in and sweep up the area of any stragglers in the way of their colonization. Specially made droid production units are called Hive Queen's, gigantic automated mobile fortresses which abet in the subjugation of worlds by dealing directly with a troublesome species while continuing the production of its drones. Both robots and the queen factory are equipped with laser cannon's while the lesser productions are transformable ball like sentries and the giant robot walks upon four booster enabled legs.

Universal Beam

(First appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes #12 Dec 1967) Standard issue Kree soldier side arms coming in the form of a formidable handheld pistol that can project and manipulate various energies, The Kree soldier and Galactic Superhero Mar-Vell eventually modified his "Uni-Beam" into a wrist-mounted blaster which would become the recurring model. One that could rearrange matter either destroying or reassembling it, project alternating forces ranging to darkness binding enemies and objects, control magnetism for various effects, emit blinding light glares or obfuscating fields of darkness, electrical discharge, etc.^[17]

The Destructoids

(First appearance: Silver Surfer III #6 December 1987) The Destructoids were gargantuan weapons of war, each one manned by hundreds of men. They had two forms: 1. A starship. It traveled through space until it arrived at its destination. 2. A giant roughly humanoid configuration. (Note: May have been only for travel inside a planet's atmosphere.) Whatever form they took, they had great destructive firepower, so great that it only took two of them to pacify a primitive defenseless planet. In the latter form, their propulsion came out of the equivalent of their legs, and their blasts came out of the equivalent of their arms. In the former form, their propulsion came from the stern while they shot their blasts from the bow of the ship. It is believed that they had the ability to shoot blasts out of other areas, by any normal standard, were a force to be reckoned with.

Jet Belt

(First appearance: Captain Marvel #2 May 1968) A rocket powered aviation unit designated to Kree Warriors, the device having twin rocket powered boosters at the side of a users waist which is activated via belt switch. The wearer backed by their specially enhanced battle uniform, enables them highspeed flight within a habitable atmosphere as well as E.V.A traversal for breaching planetary orbit.

Plex Intelligence

(First appearance: Marvel Boy II #1 Aug 2000) Hailing from the home universe of Marvel Boy, the We-Plex Supreme Intelligence System are standard installation designed by the Kree Empire's multiversal diplomatic envoy. Specifically one used by the 18th Diplomatic Kree gestalt called The Marvel, a trans-dimensional schooner Noh-Var and his family were aboard when they went down over the Prime Universe. The Plex Intelligence were designed in the fourth aeon of gene mastery where on Earth-200080, The Supreme Intelligence derived the device from itself upon numerous trans-reality vessels for the purpose of spreading the peaceful kree empire's way across existence. The Plex's main functions are the navigation, maintenance and consultation of both the ship and their crews, capable of cyberpathically linking with technology and biology on a telepathic level. Even while stationary the Plex units maintain neuropsychic link with the hosts aboard its ship and can spread its own psychic influence across a wide area, taking control of multiple minds over a varied radius provided their link to its ship provides power enough to do so; This feature is called The Omni-Wave. Moreover, their collective piezoplasm stores and withholds the collective wisdombase of their entire race, which was maintained through a system called the multiple personality complex interface. Its neruosynaptic ooze also serves as a medical facility with which to expedite healing if injured. Like the core Supremor, the Plex's create seeds containing their entire collective consciousness and memory storage within. In the event of its death the new Plex Intelligence can assimilate with the old in order to amalgamate both new with the old in order to recreate a whole new Supreme Intelligence.^[4]

Helicoptera

(First appearance: Marvel Boy II #5 Dec 2000) Onboard defenses adorning The Marvel, Noh-Var's personal dimensional exploratory vessel. Acting as both the surveillance and assault drones of the ship while inactive, they are operated by the We Plex Intelligence as a secondary attack mode. Their rotary wings are razor sharp and can easily tear through flesh and blood in a single stroke.

Metamorphic Bracelets

(First appearance: Marvel Boy #2 Sept 2000) Technology hailing from Earth-200080, Noh-Varr makes use of these potent munitions in nearly all of his exploits. They're an accessorized weapons deployment apparatus of incredible destructive power. Being able to raze buildings to the ground or harm high-level metahumans such as the sentry with relative ease.^[18] Their main function is to become most any kind of weapon Marvel Boy needs. Ordinarily they transform into guns with a plasma discharge effect but can be calibrated to emit other forms of energy, a larger munition of which being able to deploy cosmic energy if need be.^[19] They also transmorph into razor blades that double as protective shielding,^[20] having no dials or button activation codes its assumed that Noh-Varr accesses them via thought or intuition based commands.

The Nega Bands

(First appearance: Captain Marvel I #16 June 1969) The very pinnacle of Kree science and development. Designed and modeled after the Quantum Bands utilized by space-faring hero Quasar, their power source and functionality differ greatly from said devices. Instead of drawing power from the Quantum Zone like the item they were based on, these bands are linked to and draw on the extra-dimensional quintessence of the Negative Zone. There have been many users of the Nega Bands throughout various publishing, most famously utilized by members of the Vell family line: e.i. Captain Mar-Vell, his son and daughter Genis and Phyla-Vell, the Super Skrull impostor Khn'nr as well as few others outside the Captain Marvel name. The Nega Bands tap their connection to the anti-matter universe as well as the users own psychic energy to empower them with vast cosmological energies. Giving their wearer superhuman strength, speed, nigh-invulnerability, self-sustenance, teleportation, dimensional linking, portal creation and energy manipulation; albeit to a much weaker scale than those of the Quantum Bands. In some users, the bands gave them the ability of cosmic awareness that broadened their senses to the goings on's across the universe, in others they could siphon the negative substance of the Zone for the projection of Positronic force blasts or remote teleportation. Warping entire planets out of their orbit and into another part of space. One of the flaws of their programming was that the Nega Bands could dot distinguish the vacuum of space from a body of water of an ocean line, meaning wearers still ran the risk of drowning should they be submerged in it. An inadvertent discovery by later users of these golden bands showed they have the capacity to traverse dimensional boundaries and breach into other realities much like the Omni-Wave Projector, able to open portals either to and from the Negative Zone itself or potentially different dimensions/alternate timelines or even across interstellar distances for instantaneous travel.

Kree Composite Soul Bow

(First appearance: Young Avengers Vol 2 #4 June 2013) Technology hailing from Noh-Varr's home dimension gifted to Kate Bishop of the Young Avengers. Bearing similar designs to those of the Nega Bands of the Kree, it utilizes both Negative Zone forces coupled with the psi energy of its user to discharge concussive blasts of force potent enough to down enhanced Kree Soldiers like Marvel Boy's parents.

Nega Bomb

(First appearance: Wonder Man #8-9 1992) One of the most devastating weapons of mass destruction ever conceived, constructed by the Shi'ar using Mar-Vell's stolen Nega Bands yet in truth design's were propagated by the Supreme Intelligence.^[21] This horrendous device taps into the anti-material energies of the negative zone in order to detonate with several times the explosive force of incendiary or thermonuclear devices. Varying in size, the nega bomb can wipe out entire galaxies, killing trillions in an anti-thermal negative reaction. Whole worlds appeared to be engulfed in an all-consuming blaze.^[22]

Pocket Battlefield

(First appearance: Marvel Boy #2 Sept 2000) Another high grade arsenal piece collected from The Marvel's personal weapons cache. A pink multidimensional cube that could create 4-D simulachrons of real space environment with interchangeable physics. It could expand its size and draw in large objects or crowds of people within its confines and change the nature of universal constants according to the wielders commands; making up become down, left become right, invert gravity or give a crashing space ship the properties of a super ball.^[23] The battlefield has 9 different settings each having its own unique form of physics. Noh-Varr explains that with it, he can control all ten of its axis'. Within these battle field spaces users can create a pocket of editable sub-dimensions which users can bend to their own will, as ronan did with his Black Vortex augmented powers. Creating in Noh-Varr's words, accusatory micro realities powered by the guilt of others trapped in them.^[24]

Antiquity

Eons ago, beings of massive power known as Progenitors arrived on Hala, and employed on its primitive population a substance known as Prima Materia, which served as a catalyst to evolve the population of Hala from their primitive form. ^[25] The planet would eventually be visited by another race of beings of massive power who would also experimented on its population.^[26]

A million years ago, a race of humanoid reptiles called the Skrulls came upon prehistoric Hala.^[26] At that time, the Skrulls were a largely peaceful space-faring race, and they set about educating the natives to the point where they could join their trading empire. However, Hala was home to two equally intelligent races, the Kree and the Cotati.^[27]

The Skrulls proposed a test to determine the worthier race. This test involved taking 17 members of each race to distant planetoids in different solar systems in another galaxy, providing them with complete supplies to last one year, and then returning at the end of that period to judge the worth of what each group had managed to create.^[28] The Skrull starship took the Cotati to a barren moon in one solar system and then brought the Kree to Earth's moon where they created an arena, the Blue Area, and left them there. While the Cotati used their abilities to create a beautiful garden on their formerly-barren moon, the Kree used the rudimentary technology provided by the Skrulls to construct a magnificent city.

A year later, the Skrulls returned to judge the accomplishments of the two groups and return them all to Hala. Once back on their homeworld, the Kree leader Morag learned that, although the Skrulls who had retrieved his group had been extremely impressed by the giant city, the other Skrulls were more impressed by the Cotati's success. Enraged, the Kree first wiped out the Cotati and then, when the Skrull delegation protested, killed them as well and seized the Skrulls' starship. They then set about deciphering the technology of the starship.^[29]

Kree–Skrull War

Within a hundred years of acquiring interstellar technology from the Skrulls, the Kree empire began to spread throughout the Greater Magellanic Cloud. The Kree launched an attack upon the Skrull empire and the peaceful Skrulls were again forced to become war-like to defend themselves. The Kree–Skrull War would continue for hundreds of thousands of years.

At the same time, the Cotati on Hala were almost driven to extinction by the Kree. However, a small handful of Kree, the pacifist priests of Pama, hid and kept safe a group of Cotati. Eventually, these Kree began worshipping the Cotati that they had kept sheltered. To further hide and keep them safe, the priests relocated the surviving Cotati throughout the universe.

About 250 years later, the Kree Science Council, aware that the Skrulls had once created an incredibly powerful weapon called the Cosmic Cube, designed a cybernetic/organic supercomputer called the Supreme Intelligence (sometimes referred to by the honorific "Supremor") to help them in creating a Cube. When the computer became functional, it determined that a Cosmic Cube would be too dangerous to construct and refused the Science Council's request. The computer was then used simply in an advisory capacity.

At the beginning of the Kree–Skrull War, millions of years ago in Earth time, the Kree established a station on the planet Uranus, a strategic position between the Kree and Skrull empires. Through their work at this station, they discovered that sentient life on nearby Earth had had genetic potential invested in it by the alien Celestials. Intrigued, the Kree began to experiment on Earth's then-primitive homo sapiens.

Their goal was twofold — to investigate possible ways of circumventing their own evolutionary stagnation, and to create a powerful mutant race of soldiers for use against the Skrulls. However, although their experiments were successful in creating a strain of humanity with extraordinary and diverse abilities, the Kree abandoned their experiments because the Supreme Intelligence foresaw the experiments leading to the destruction of the Kree. In order to disprove that prophecy, the Intelligence ordered Accuser Huran to murder science officer Von-Warr and weaponized biologist Ry-Noor, the scientists responsible for the experiments and summon the Accuser Corps to cleanse the experiments on every world they seeded. In its haste, however, the Supreme Intelligence failed to download the full data packet from the scientists, and five worlds that were seeded escaped the slaughter: Badoon, Centaurians, Dire Wraiths, Kymellians and early humans. The secret of the Inhumans and the prophecy was kept only with the Supreme Intelligence.^[30]

Their humans test subjects, eventually dubbed the Inhumans, went on to form a society of their own, which thrived in seclusion from the rest of humanity. Their city Attilan has frequently been relocated. Later a giant surveillance robot, Sentry 459, that was stationed on a small South Pacific island was eventually awake by the Fantastic Four^[31] and alerted the Kree to Earth's advanced state of evolution. The Sentry's destruction brought the Kree official Ronan the Accuser to Earth with the intent of passing judgment on those who "murdered" the outpost guard. He intended to punish the Fantastic Four, but they defeated him.^[32] Ronan's own defeat increased Kree scrutiny of Earth, setting off a chain of events that continues to reverberate.

Over time, and as the war with the Skrull dragged on, the Supreme Intelligence gradually accrued more and more political power and responsibility until finally it was elected as absolute ruler of the Kree. Eventually, the Supreme Intelligence came to be worshipped and an organized religion built up around it.

Further Kree–Skrull Wars

At several points in the years after the end of the first Kree–Skrull war, hostilities were said to have broken out again between the two empires. It is unclear how serious these conflicts were though they were often referred to as "wars".

The most significant of these instances came when the Skrulls lost their ability to shapeshift,^[35] and a Skrull Warlord provoked new hostilities. During this war, the Supreme Intelligence was incapacitated by the Silver Surfer.^[36] Afterwards, Nenora, a Skrull spy in the guise of a high ranking Kree official, took command of the Kree empire. The war ended with Nenora's death at the hands of S'ybill, the Skrull Empress. Rulership of the Kree was assumed by an alien named Clumsy Foulup,^[37] who was soon assassinated by Kree military officers.^[38]

The machinations of Thanos led to the sudden elimination of half the universe's life-forms. Unaware of Thanos' role in the disappearance, the Kree and the Skrull blamed each other and temporarily renewed fighting.^[39]

Kree-Shi'ar War

Not long after the conflicts with the Skrull ended, the Kree again found themselves embroiled in a war, this time with the Shi'ar Empire. This war was much shorter, and was engineered by the Skrulls and the Supreme Intelligence.

The Avengers of Earth became involved in the conflict when the Shi'ar opened a wormhole in Earth's solar system to gain rapid access to Kree territory, unconcerned about the damage that would be caused to Earth's Sun as a result. Their involvement inadvertently set off a chain of events which led to a Nega-Bomb being detonated in Kree space.^[40][41] The bomb explosion, in which negative energy was released into space causing an extremely powerful explosive and radioactive reaction, devastated the Kree empire, and led to its surrender to the Sh'iar. It was eventually revealed that the Supreme Intelligence was ultimately responsible for the bomb's detonation, as the whole thing was a bid to kick-start the Kree race's genetic development.

Kree territory was then annexed by the Sh'iar, with Majestrix Lilandra naming her sister Deathbird as the territories' administrator. Deathbird has since abandoned this post.

Ruul and retcon

The remaining Kree were evolved into the Ruul through the machinations of the Supreme Intelligence and the Forever Crystal, a very powerful mystical artifact. As the Ruul, the race orchestrated the events of "Maximum Security" that temporarily turned Earth into a prison. When their Kree origin and behind-the-scenes manipulations were revealed, the Kree managed to free themselves from Shi'ar rule.^[42] The Kree race was later restored to its original form.^[43]

Kree soldiers also appeared during Avengers Disassembled, when they attacked the Earth and were driven off by the Avengers.^[44]

Annihilation

In Annilation #2, it is revealed that the Kree forces, commanded by the merchant House of Fiyero, make up 90% of the United Front. In #5, after mercy killing the Supreme Intelligence and wiping out the House of Fiyero, Ronan the Accuser assumes control of the Kree Empire.

Annihilation Conquest

During Annihilation: Conquest, the Kree Empire is assimilated by the Phalanx. The Phalanx and Ultron isolate Kree space from the rest of the universe, but are stopped by the Guardians of the Galaxy from the year 3000, Nova, Warlock, and Warlock's son.^[45]

Secret Invasion

The Kree have an agent on Earth that learns about the Skrull Secret Invasion but he is supposedly killed before he can summon help.

Noh-Varr, a Kree from a parallel Earth, proclaims the planet under Kree protection and takes part in the final battle. He is deemed a hero by the planet's population and by the Kree that learn of his bravery during the attack. He takes the mantle of Captain Marvel and serves on Osborn's Avengers until he learns of their true nature. While on the run, he manages to communicate with the Supreme Intelligence who grants him the title and position of Protector of Earth and bestows a pair of custom Negabands to him.

Ronan the Accuser, the acting ruler of the Kree Empire, forges an alliance with the Inhuman Royal Family to locate and save Black Bolt from the Skrulls. Ronan only agrees to help the Inhumans in exchange for Crystal's hand in marriage, to which Medusa agrees.^[46]

War of Kings

Shortly after the Invasion of Earth occurs, the Inhumans begin their personal assault on the Skrull Empire. After destroying a Skrull warship that has fled into Shi'ar Space, as well as three Shi'ar Warbirds, the Inhumans next travel to Kree-lar and claim dominion over the Kree Empire.^[47]

Emperor Vulcan, leader of the Shi'ar, declares war against the Kree and launches a surprise attack during the wedding of Ronan and Crystal. The Kree retaliate and through the actions of the various royal family members they endear themselves to the Kree.

After the assassination of former Empress Lilandra, the Kree launch a T-Bomb intended to end the war swiftly and decisively. The bomb is powered by Black Bolt's voice, who resides in the bomb. Black Bolt is attacked by Vulcan and the two are presumed dead when the bomb explodes in Shi'ar territory. The Kree claim victory and control of the Shi'ar empire.^[48]

Realm of Kings

Medusa briefly struggles as sole ruler of the Kree Empire^[49] until Black Bolt returned to Attilan shortly after his supposed death.^[50] He led the Kree and Inhumans into battle during the War of Four Cities.^[51]

AvX: Avengers vs X-Men

In the wake of the Phoenix Force's advent, making its way towards earth in search for its latest host. Noh-Varr is contacted by the Supreme Intelligence of the prime universe as the Avengers make ready to intercept the Phoenix before it makes earthfall, demanding that he capture its power for the Kree Empire no matter the cost.^[52] Once after initial failure, earth's mightiest are eventually successful in the acquisition of its essence within Thor's enchanted hammer; in wake of said accomplishment, however, Protector betrays the team and hands it to the Supremor as per his mission directive.^[53]

But when realizing the Kree had no intention of saving Earth from the Phoenix, Noh quickly turns on them and returns the Phoenix essence to the enraged Avengers who leave him behind a marked man on Hala as they return to earth. Noh on the other hand is hunted mercilessly for his betrayal, his Nega Bands stripped from him by his accuser pursuers as his former comrades return home to earth. Before they manage to find him, however, he plants a bomb that eviscerates his assailants along with the Supremor's main housing.^[54]

A secret group working around the Kree hierarchy through Plex like mind control would later use the power of the cosmic force in conjunction with the M'Kraan Crystal to revitalize their fallen champion; the original Captain Mar-Vell.^[55] With a now resurrected Kree hero at their command, the Kree designate heroes Carol Danvers and Noh-Varr would soon fall under command of Mar-Vell and the gene-based manipulatory broadcast used to manipulate the Kree into their service. Causing them to turn on the Secret Avengers and order a public execution for some of them as the Phoenix arrives.^[56]

As it was later revealed, disgraced decedents of Mar-Vell would act to draw the Phoenix away from Earth and towards Hala in a suicidal attempt to kick-start the races transcendence. This plan failed as the Vision emitted a counter broadcast to said grand nephew's unique psychosematric abilities controlling everyone on Hala, as the father committed suicide before killing his own son, The Kree homeworld was spared when Captain Marvel sacrificed his own life and the Phoenix energies sustaining him as the entity came to take it back.^[57]

Infinity

During the Infinity storyline, Ronan the Accuser and the Supreme Intelligence appear as members of the Galactic Council where they represent the Kree Empire.^[58] In the aftermath of the fight with the Builders and the fight against Thanos, the Supreme Intelligence was able to pardon Ronan the Accuser and the Kree Army.^[59]

The Black Vortex

During The Black Vortex storyline, Ronan the Accuser steals The Black Vortex from the cosmically-powered X-Men, who then rampage on Hala. They eventually leave, but Mister Knife uses the opportunity to steal The Black Vortex and then destroys Hala and the Supreme Intelligence out of petty revenge.^[60] Ronan and the Imperial Fleet survive and the last remaining seed of the Supreme Intelligence was stolen from Collector by Star-Lord's half-sister Captain Victoria.^[61]

Royals

As the Inhuman royal family, aided by Noh-Varr, make their way to the ruins of Hala in search of the Primagen. They are encountered by the still cosmically empowered Ronan the Accuser, who traps them all in a psychologically devised prison tailored to torment each of its detainees.^[62]

Marvel Boy discerns that said illusions are similar to his Pocket Battlefield effects, he works around it with his own battlefield device. Moving to free Medusa, Crystal, Gorgon, Flint and Swain with the help of Maximus while soothing the grieving accuser with his We-Plex Intelligence device to give him simulations of a thriving Kree Emperium.^[4]

Having helped sow the seeds to reestablish the reformation of the fallen Kree, The Royals depart. Leaving the last accuser to pick up the pieces and hopefully mend itself with the help of the steadily regrowing Plex Intelligence, with Crystal coming along shortly after a heartbreaking parting with her former love.^[63]

Death of the Inhumans

It is revealed that at some point the Supreme Intelligence had sent a Kree contingency away to explore and chart the outer reaches of the Universe in order to find purchase and grow the name of Hala throughout the stars. The mission took generations and currently those among the contingency had never seen or set foot on their home planet, only able to dream of its golden skies and sang its name as a sanctuary in their prayers. Eventually they finally returned to Hala, only to find it in ruins. With the once glorious and proud empire now reduced to ash, they eliminated Ronan, exiled those loyal to him and decided to use the Inhumans as part of their plans to rebuild Hala and bring a new dawn to the Kree Empire.^[64] To that effect, they designed a new kind of Inhuman to have all the powers of an Inhuman but none of the humanity, initiating in the process a campaign of terror that killed thousands of Inhumans.^[65] It was later revealed that the Kree soldiers behind Vox had actually captured Ronan the Accuser and those loyal to him where they were experimented on. After breaking free and killing some Kree soldiers, Black Bolt finds where Ronan is held. Now merely a cyborg, Ronan begged Black Bolt to end his misery as he apologized for all the pain he caused to the Inhumans to which he complies by whispering "You are forgiven."^[66]

They breathe an earthlike atmosphere, and their throats are unable to speak English without surgical modification. Ultimate Kree have referred to a Supreme Intelligence, but it has not yet been shown. Some of them worship, or follow the teachings of, a being called Hala, a historic figure comparable to Buddha who preached on the preservation of life while claiming not to be a god.^[151]

The Ultimate Captain Marvel (Mahr Vehl) is a Kree spy on Earth, surgically altered to appear human, as well as having an arsenal of defensive cybernetically implanted weapons, and belongs to a family said to have descended from Hala.^[152]

Yahn Rgg also appears in this reality where he is the Ultimate Universe version of Yon-Rogg.^[152]

Earth-200080

The reality from which The 18th Diplomatic Gestalt Envoy that crashed on the prime Marvel Universe hailed from. The Reality which Noh-Varr, the dimensional lost hero and rogue of said universe hails from. In his own words and the We Plex unit's historical account, it is a utopian parallel helmed by an intergalactic as well as inter-dimensional spanning Kree Empire. Where travel and interaction with parallel worlds across the quasiverse is par the course for the Kree Diplomatic Gestalt Naval fleet of their continuum.^[153]

Television

• The Kree appear in a flashback in the Fantastic Four episode "Inhumans Saga: Beware the Hidden Land". Just like the comics, the Kree were behind the creation of the Inhumans.
• The Kree appear in the 1992 X-Men animated series. They appeared during the Dark Phoenix's last episode when Lilandra consults with two other empires the Kree (who have the Supreme Intelligence representing them) and the Skrull (who have the unnamed Skull Queen representing them) on Jean Grey's final outcome.
• The Kree appear in the Silver Surfer TV series. In the episode "The Planet of Dr. Moreaux", the Kree enslaved the Silver Surfer and had him work alongside Pip the Troll's kind until they revolted and escaped. In the episode "The Forever War", Adam Warlock is seen fighting the Kree in a space anomaly when the Supreme Intelligence sends the Silver Surfer to get him. If there would have been a second season, an episode called "Rebirth" would have the Silver Surfer trying to stop the Kree-Skrull War.
• The Kree, most notably Ronan the Accuser and the Supreme Intelligence, appear in the Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes episode "Trial by Fire". According to Ronan, the Kree sent robotic sentries which were attacked by Johnny Storm without provocation. It is then originally implied that they were simply trying to make contact and took offense, with Ronan explaining that they take an attack on their sentries as an attack on the empire. Later, however, Ronan also states that, "The Kree do not make contact. The Kree conquer!" after Johnny is sentenced to death. Still, Johnny later protects a Kree child that is threatened by a robotic lion meant to carry out the sentence. The Kree audience then disagrees with the ruling and the Supreme Intelligence agrees to spare Johnny for the moment, saying that the Fantastic Four may be useful against the Skrulls.
• The Kree appear in The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. The featured Kree are Mar-Vell, Yon-Rogg, Ronan the Accuser, Kalum Lo, and the Supreme Intelligence. In the episode "459", they send one of their sentries to defang Earth as it is useful as a strategic outpost in their war with the Skrulls. Thanks to the attack on it by Ant-Man, Wasp, and Carol Danvers however, the Sentry starts to activate a Kree nega-bomb and wipe out humanity. This is prevented by Iron Man, Thor, and Mar-Vell, a captain in the Kree Navy's science division who want to protect humanity (Carol in particular). Afterward Mar-Vell soon leaves to plead Earth's case to the Supreme Intelligence. In the episode "Michael Korvac", it is revealed that the Kree had abducted and experimented on Michael Korvac which ended with Michael Korvac destroying the Kree ship he was aboard. In the episode "Welcome to the Kree Empire", Ronan the Accuser led Yon-Rogg, Mar-Vell, and Kalum Lo to Earth in order to make Earth join the Kree Empire. While Kalum Lo and his soldiers take over Kang the Conqueror's ship Damocles (which has been converted into a S.W.O.R.D. base), Ronan tasks Yon-Rogg and Mar-Vell to Earth to judge the humans to see if Earth is worthy to join the Kree Empire. Kalum Lo had the Kree's alien slave Sydren enter various codes into Damocles' computer in order to get control of the entire ship. Abigail Brand defeats the Kree and frees Sydren from the Kree's control. While the Avengers and Carol Danvers, now Ms. Marvel, have defeated Ronan the Accuser, S.W.O.R.D. takes control of the Kree ship. Ronan and the Kree soldiers involved are remanded to Prison 42. In the episode "Operation Galactic Storm", the Kree attack the S.W.O.R.D. ship Falchion during their plot to open a wormhole near Earth's sun. At the same time, a Kree black-ops team is sent to spring Ronan the Accuser from the Hydro-Base. Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Wasp, Ms. Marvel, Hawkeye, Vision, Captain Mar-Vell, and Peter Corbeau were able to stop the wormhole device, but ended up sucked towards Kree space. In the episode "Live Kree and Die", the Avengers are separated upon the crash-landing on Hala. Captain America, Wasp, Ms. Marvel, Captain Mar-Vell, and Peter Corbeau are apprehended by the Kree soldiers and brought before the Supreme Intelligence. The Supreme Intelligence then has the humans experimented upon to see what the humans are capable of. When Captain Mar-Vell tries to plead to the Supreme Intelligence to spare them from the experiments, the Supreme Intelligence states that "traitors to the Kree Empire have no say". Thor deals with the Kree soldiers and their Sentries while Iron Man, Black Panther, Hawkeye, and Vision free their captive teammates. After the Avengers and Mar-Vell managed to shut down the Supreme Intelligence for a while, Mar-Vell plans to lead the Kree into a new era of peace.
• The Kree are informally introduced into the Marvel Cinematic Universe through the TV series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. In the episode "T.A.H.I.T.I.", S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Phil Coulson discovers a blue-skinned corpse in a secret, underground facility called the Guest House while searching for the source of the regenerative GH-325 serum. Executive producer Jeffrey Bell later confirmed that this was the body of a Kree.^[154] In the episode "Yes Men", Coulson asks Sif if she has encountered any blue-colored alien species. The Kree are among the species she lists by name, though she insists they have never visited Earth.^[155] In season 2 episodes "...Ye Who Enter Here", "What They Become", and "Who You Really Are", it is revealed that a rogue Kree faction visited Earth as part of their experiments to create genetically altered soldiers. According to Raina, in contrast to others believing they were acting to conquer or destroy humanity, the Kree created the Diviners for the purpose of engineering Inhumans while wiping out those the relics deem unworthy of the process. The episode "Who You Really Are" revealed that these Kree, whose experiments failed on other planets, have been eliminated by the Kree Empire. Having been alerted by a signal, a Kree warrior named Vin-Tak (played by Eddie McClintock) came to Earth to find the remaining Diviners that the rogue Kree faction hid on Earth to ensure the experiments would not resume in the event that the remnants of the rogue Kree faction came to Earth. Running afoul of Coulson's team and Sif, whose memory he temporarily robbed with his truncheon, Vin-Tak learned that Skye was an Inhuman and attempts to kill her. Luckily, Bobbi Morse uses Vin-Tak's truncheon to have himself forget why he came to Earth as Sif escorts him back to Hala. In the episode "Scars", it is shown that Robert Gonzales' faction of S.H.I.E.L.D. has obtained a monolith-like material that the Kree planned to use to destroy the Inhumans. This rock sends anyone who is sucked into it to another planet where an Inhuman being known as Hive was banished to. In the episode "Failed Experiments," it was revealed that the Kree warriors known as Kree Reapers were the ones responsible for abducting the humans for the Inhuman experiments just like they did with the Mayan warrior that became Hive. When the device that was used to make Inhumans was activated by Hive, it attracted the attention of the Kree Reapers where one of them killed Alisha Whitley. Both of them were killed by Hive and Daisy Johnson where the blood of one of them was used in Hive's Inhuman-making projects. Season Five introduced the Kree Kasius (portrayed by Dominic Rains), Sinara (portrayed by Florence Faivre), Hek-Sel (portrayed by Luke Massy), and Kasius' brother Faulnak (portrayed by Samuel Roukin) who exist in the year 2091. The episode "The One Who Will Save Us All" introduces the Kree Taryan (portrayed by Craig Parker) who is the father of Kasius and Faulnak and the Kree's representative on the Confederacy.

They ran afoul of Captain Marvel, Captain America, Falcon, and Thor even when they are tricked onto his disguised ship. After fighting their way past the Kree Sentries, Galen-Kor and the Kree soldiers with him fought the Avengers until they left the ship upon filling it with a dangerous gas that the Kree aren't affected by. When the dangerous gas was filtered out of the ship, Galen-Kor attacked his fighter jet with the other Kree soldiers and the Kree Sentries while having a missile that will launch the dangerous gas the Earth. With help from the other Avengers, Captain Marvel, Captain America, Falcon, and Thor deactivate the missiles, defeat Galen-Kor and his soldiers, and transfer their Inhuman captives to Attilan.
