Human-looking aliens from the Large Magellanic Cloud (a dwarf galaxy just outside the Milky Way). In ancient times, they experimented on primitive man, leading to the Inhumans. Have been in a long-standing war with the Skrulls since they first met, which the Kree started, and are ruled by the Supreme Intelligence, a gestalt entity made up of the minds of thousands of Kree.

In General
In General
- Abusive Precursors: They are this to the Inhumans of Earth. And they're the lucky ones. The original Inhuman program was tested on hundreds of worlds. When the Supreme Intelligence figured the program was a bad idea, he had the Accusers murder the scientists, and burn every planet they'd experimented on. Earth only got spared thanks to the scientists not presenting all their data.
- Aliens Are Bastards: The Kree are smug and arrogant warmongers and racist towards their own kind (blue kree vs pink kree). They'll also do things like leave an old Sentry robot on your planet, completely forget about it, and when someone discovers it and it goes haywire and you're forced to put it down, the Kree will dispatch an Accuser to swing by and capture or kill you, because you touched their stuff. They were like this even from the start; the Kree-Skrull War started entirely because the Kree were jealous that the Skrulls (then a peaceful species out to uplift others) chose the Cotati's creation over theirs. The primitive Kree promptly slaughtered the Skrulls and the Cotati, and stole their technology. This ended up making the Skrulls bastards too, as after aeons of fighting the Kree, their war-like nature is now literally in their genes.
- Amazing Technicolor Population: Most of them have blue skin.
- Arch-Enemy: They are considered this by the Skrulls. The feeling is mutual. Following their unification under the Kree-Skrull hybrid Teddy Altman a.k.a. Hulkling a.k.a. Dorrek VIII, there's still a lot of suspicion and bad feeling.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: The Kree's alien value systems are best exemplified by Noh-Varr's reality where they apparently have a utopia based on a philosophical ideal best translated as "Zen-Fascism".
- Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: The color of the Kree military uniforms changes according to their rank: Purple for privates, grey for lieutenants, green for captains, blue for colonels and red for generals.
- Crazy-Prepared: As the Annihilation Wave learned, the Kree even weaponize their buildings. The last days of the war had them launching the damn things at Ravenous and his troops, just so they could attack.
- Defeating the Undefeatable: The first time humanity came to the Kree's attention was when the Fantastic Four got into a fight with a long dormant Kree Sentry and survived. Not won, survived. The Sentry was destroyed as a result of following its orders to stay put until the end. The Kree were a little surprised to get a call from an abandoned outpost and sent Ronan to find out just what happened.
- The Empire: The Kree Empire, natch.
- Earth-Shattering Kaboom: The Kree homeworld of Hala is destroyed by Mr. Knife/J'Son of Spartax during the Black Vortex storyline. Couldn't happen to nicer guys.
- Enemy Mine: The Kree tend to cooperate with other races and be on the side of the good guys when there's a universal threat like the Annhilation Wave from Annihilation or the Builders from Infinity.
- Equal-Opportunity Evil: Some of their high-ranking officers are women. Nenora, a Skrull spy who disguised herself as a Kree and became empress for a short time after the Silver Surfer caused the Supreme Intelligence to malfunction.
- Evilutionary Biologist: The Kree are very big on genetic engineering, as apparently their race has lost the ability to evolve naturally. Among other things, they created the Inhumans by experimenting on a bunch of prehistoric humans, and Operation: Galactic Storm was engineered by the Supreme Intelligence to wipe out most of the Kree and forcibly evolve the rest into the Ruul (it didn't last).
- Evil Versus Evil: The Kree-Skrull War. Both sides are anything but friendly towards planet Earth and its inhabitants - though they've become more Earth positive since Hulkling ended the war by taking the throne.
- Fantastic Nuke: They're plenty fond of those Nega-Bombs of theirs. One blew up a good chunk of their galaxy. Most since then have been downgraded to just making planets go up like a bonfire.
- Fantastic Racism: Aside for their more obvious hatred of the Skrull, the Kree hold a certain contempt for every other race in the Marvel Universe, as well as for their Pink minority. They also outlawed for Kree citizens to mate with individuals of other species (getting a Kree woman pregnant is an arrestable offense).
- The Fighting Narcissist: The entirety of Kree culture is based around xenophobia, military pride, Jingoism, imperialism, nationalist egocentricity, and self-engineering to the ideal of the "perfect" soldier.
- Forever War: The Kree-Skrull War, which lasted for many thousands of years until the heroes of Earth got involved.
- Galactic Super Power: One of the big three alien empires in the Marvel Universe along with the Skrulls and the Shi'ar.
- God-Emperor: The Supreme Intelligence, also called Supremor.
- Green-Skinned Space Babe: Both pink and blue Kree girls are often depicted as quite the lookers.
- Half-Breed Discrimination: They're big on cultural "purity". Not a lot of half-Kree babies out there. Doesn't apply to the Supreme Intelligence, who on several occasions tried to make Carol Danvers produce some Kree babies to give the genome a kick in the ass. More recently, once it was revealed that Carol was a 'natural' half-breed, they've developed a fair bit more respect for her.
- Heavy Worlder: The Kree homeworld of Hala has a higher gravity than Earth, which leads them to develop superhuman strength and agility once they enter our planet's atmosphere.
- High Turnover Rate: During the 90s they went through a few rulers. First a con artist, then two generals, then the Shi'ar staged a takeover... by the 00s, the Supreme Intelligence took power again, before it got deposed by House Fiyero. Then Ronan killed them, and reigned for two years before handing things over to the Inhumans.
- Hijacking Cthulhu: In the post-Inhumanity Invaders series it's revealed that they created a device called the "God Whisperer" that can be used to mind control Gods and God-like beings. Hela, the Eternals and Galactus have all been shown to be subject to its thrall.
- Human Aliens: The Pink Kree are basically White humans with silver hair.
- Humongous Mecha: The Sentries and the Destructoids. A Kree Sentry size can vary from model to model from 5 meters to 30 meters in height. The Destructoids (which appeared only in a couple of issues of Silver Surfer) are spaceships that can change into a semi-humanoid form.
- Interservice Rivalry: The Accusers and the military don't get along, especially since the Accusers can and will pull rank on them, and it's very hard to argue with someone over six feet tall and armed with a Universal Weapon.
- Irony:
- If it wasn't for the technology of the Skrulls, they would have probably still be a primitive civilisation.
- The Kree created the Inhumans as an experiment in jump-starting their own evolution. According to Royals, the Kree are the result of a similar set of experiments by the Progenitors, who gave up on the Kree when they ran into their evolutionary dead-end. So the thing that motivated the Kree for centuries turns out to have saved them from a gruesome fate.
- Judge, Jury, and Executioner: The Accuser Corps, with Ronan The Accuser being the most prominent member. They are basically the Judges or the inquisitors from Warhammer 40,000 with big hammers.
- Killer Robot: The Sentries mentioned above.
- Lady of War: As mentioned above, several Kree commanders are women.
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much:
- The Priests of Pama, a Group of Kree who rejected their empire's militaristic and xenophobic life style and embraced the pacifist religion of the Cotati. In Empyre, they joined the Cotati's Face–Heel Turn and became Category Traitors to all non-plant life, and ended up being Rewarded as a Traitor Deserves.
- The Utopian Kree, led by the Plex Worldmind, who take to being nice and helpful towards other races, and solving everyone's problems (without smugness or murder). They get into a fight with more traditional "imperial" Kree.
- Noble Demon: Despite their arrogance and cruelty, the Kree value honor and loyalty and respect it in their enemies. They also have no problem with teaming up with the heroes when there's a common threat.
- Oh, My Gods!: Some Kree swear by the Supreme Intelligence.
- Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions: Some Kree aren't big on religion. Proclaiming yourself a messiah is an arrestable offense for some of them. Kindly ignore the previous statement about how they treat the Supreme Intelligence like a god.
- Rubber-Forehead Aliens: The main blue ethnicity of the Kree are basically blue skinned humans with various hair colors and sometimes pointy ears.
- Proud Warrior Race: A variant of this trope. Instead of being a culture of viking-esque Boisterous Bruisers like many examples, the Kree embodies the more cold and rigid modern military disciplines.
- Puny Earthlings: Like many aliens in the Marvel Universe, they don't have a high opinion on humans. In more recent years, their attitude has generally changed - they still think they're better than humans, but they also know humans are fighters.
- Scary Dogmatic Aliens: They seem to be a combination of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan with a dash of Space Romans.
- Sore Loser: When the Skrulls chose the Cotati as better suited for a partnership with the Skrull empire, the primitive Kree killed the Cotati and Skrull Ambassadors and started a war with the Skrull empire that lasted for over 10,000 years (or a million, or a billion. It depends on the writer).
- Space Cold War: When they are not in a conflict, they are depicted as having uneasy truces with the other space empires.
- The Spartan Way: Fitting with their Proud Warrior Race shtick, the Kree favor tough discipline and pragmatism over kind emotions.
- State Sec: The Accuser Corps and the Pursuer Corps.
- Status Quo Is God: For a very brief while in the early 2000s, they'd apparently managed to evolve themselves into the Ruul. This was quickly forgotten and mostly ignored, though it's occasionally been mentioned in discussion of their evolutionary problems.
- Subspace Ansible: A recurring plot device is their invention known as the Omni-Wave Projector, which they generally use to communicate across galactic distances. Emphasis on the omni-wave part because like any good plot device it's highly versatile, being capable of amplifying and projecting whatever is fed into it.
- Vestigial Empire: The Kree are constantly involved in destructive intergalactic wars against other major powers like the Skrulls or the Shi'ar or against universal threats, which has a certain draining effect. The most prominent example of this is during the storyline Operation: Galactic Storm, where the Supreme Intelligence itself, in order to solve their evolutionary stagnancy, manipulated the events of the Kree-Shi'ar War leading to the death of a large portion of the Kree Empire's population, hoping that the survivors would start evolving. And, as showed in Annihilation, they have their own corrupt bureaucrats and politicians.
- Villainous Legacy: Manifested with the Inhumans and the Sentry robots the Kree left on various planets during ancient times.
Members
Supreme Intelligence
Supreme Intelligence
Notable Aliases: Supremor
First Appearance: Fantastic Four #65 (August 1967)
The Kree supreme Intelligence is the collective of the greatest Kree minds in history.
- All According to Plan:
- All of Operation: Galactic Storm, including the bit where the Avengers try to summarily execute it, was accounted for in its plan.
- It set up some of the events of the crossover "Live Kree or Die" so it could have some peace and quiet to study humans, without any pesky Kree fanatics making a mess of things.
- Bad Boss: On occasion. It's brainwashed Ronan into doing what it wants.
- Blue-and-Orange Morality: It has no problems killing 90% of the Kree if it removes the genetic gap that keeps them from evolving.
- Brain in a Jar: Or rather, multiple brains in jars as seen in the Avengers' storyline Operation Galactic Storm.
- Brain Uploading:
- How it became a mind-hive, though usually subjects have to be dead before it can absorb their intellects.
- Survived being executed by the Avengers by beaming its mind into a waiting starship.
- The Chessmaster: Can't exactly manage an interstellar empire without knowing how to play the long game. Operation: Galactic Storm has it perfectly calculate the actions of every faction involved, including the Kree, the Shi'ar, the Skrulls, and the Avengers.
- Death Is Cheap: He was executed by the Avengers at the end of Operation: Galactic Storm. That didn't stick. He was lobotomized by House Fiyero during Annihilation, apparently given a Mercy Kill by Ronan, saved by the Phalanx, and then killed by Wraith. That time stuck - the Supreme Intelligence these days is actually a copy made from back-up data.
- Evilutionary Biologist: He/it is determined to give Kree DNA a kick in the metaphorical ass by whatever means necessary, up to and including blowing up a huge chunk of their galaxy (which, ah, wouldn't exactly fix the problem, more exacerbate it, but hey).
- Extra Eyes: The version born of the Seed had four eyes instead of two.
- God-Emperor: He is the ruler of the Kree empire and he's also considered as a sort of deity by the Kree.
- Hive Mind: He was created by merging the minds of various Kree military officers, scientists and philosophers.
- Legacy Character: A throwaway panel in an issue of Royals suggests the Supreme Intelligence we're first introduced to isn't the first, but that the original Supremor was a Kree ancestor who was experimented on by the Progenitors. Maybe.
- Master Computer: He runs the Kree Empire
- Odd Friendship: Formed one with Libra during its time on Earth's moon, mainly because he was the only person who came and talked to the Intelligence during that time.
- Organic Technology
- Starfish Aliens: He appears as a giant green potato with tentacles for hair inside a tube.
- Villain Respect: While not always a villain, it's got a serious case of Blue-and-Orange Morality. It also has a very real respect for humanity, the Avengers, Captain America and Carol Danvers in particular. While this might seem odd as the Avengers once executed it, the Kree respect martial ability. This is seen in Infinity when it subtly smacks down J'son of Spartax after the latter tells Captain America to go 'until cannon fodder is required', observing that humans have a much higher success rate against the Kree in battle than the Spartax do. It also has a capacity for gratitude - during The Black Vortex, it also remarks that it gave Carol an audience because of its personal respect for her and the fact that the Avengers have been very generous to the Kree.
Plex
First Appearance:
A backup of the Supreme Intelligence brought to Earth-616 by Noh-Varr, activated in the aftermath of Hala's destruction, and leader of the Utopian Kree faction.
- Crazy-Prepared: Same as the Supremor, the Plex brought with Noh-Varr's ship was killed by the Warden of the Cube, but he had a copy ready and waiting to go. It just took Noh several years to get around to setting him up.
- Nice Guy: Noh-Varr describes him as "Mr. Rodgers made of snot". Not exactly flattering, but it gets the general gist.
- Redeeming Replacement: Intended to be one for the previous Supreme Intelligence. Time will tell if it succeeds.
Ronan the Accuser
Ronan the Accuser
Notable Aliases: Ronan the Free, Ronan the Accused
First Appearance: Fantastic Four #65 (August 1967)
The Supreme Accuser of the Kree Empire, head of the Public Accuser Corps (the Empire's main law-enforcement body) and one of the highest ranking officials in the Empire, second only to the Supreme Intelligence and the Imperial Minister. The Fantastic Four first caught his attention when they defeated Kree Sentry #459. He is a veteran of many conflicts, including the Kree/Skrull and Kree/Shi'Ar Wars, and was a recurring foe of Captain Marvel due to the latter defecting from the Kree to fight for Earth. He would eventually marry Crystal of the Inhumans.
- Anti-Hero: Unscrupulous Hero when he's on the side of the heroes.
- Anti-Villain: Though usually portrayed as a supervillain, he is sometimes depicted as a more noble and honorable character.
- Arranged Marriage: In War of Kings when the Inhumans seek aid from the Kree against the Skrull's Secret Invasion, Ronan agrees on the condition that the Inhuman princess, Crystal, marries him. Gradually (through this and the Realm of Kings follow-up event) evolves into a Perfectly Arranged Marriage.
- Badass Normal: Of the Annihilators, Ronan comes the closest, since everyone else is a Flying Brick. He spends most of the miniseries grumbling about his lack of power compared to everyone else.
- Break the Badass: The destruction of the Kree homeworld shattered Ronan, leaving him walking across the remains of Hala naming all the dead. When Crystal calls him out on his attitude toward the Inhumans, he's driven to suicide, only being prevented by Crystal.
- Carry a Big Stick: Ronan's Universal Weapon, which can also restructure molecules. He usually just uses it to hit people really, really hard.
- Character Development: He became a more noble and heroic character since Annihilation.
- Clear My Name: Ronan's goal during the Annihilation war is to get back his job and life, first by finding the Rigellian Tana Nile and learning who bribed her into testifying against him. Then the Annihilation Wave kills her, forcing a change in plans.
- Curb-Stomp Battle:
- Ronan versus Ravenous in Annihilation, who only a few months before (in-universe) survived fights with the Silver Surfer. Ronan takes a good chunk of Ravenous's face off.
- Against Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy. Ronan's a towering Kree in power armor. Peter Quill is an ordinary human-Spartoi hybrid with no superpowers. He has no chance beyond getting Ronan to work up a mild sweat.
- Depending on the Writer: His motivations have changed with different writers. In his initial appearance, he was a Reasonable Authority Figure who was Just Following Orders when directed to sentence Earth, whereas the 1970s and 80s made him the Kree equivalent of a McCarthyite security hawk with Fantastic Racism, who even launched a Military Coup against the Kree government because of its liberal policies and tolerance for miscegenation. In later years he is more commonly depicted as an Obstructive Bureaucrat, with some versions even making him a rebellious Anti-Hero.
- Early-Installment Weirdness: His first appearance has him with pink skin, since the concept of blue Kree hadn't yet been established.
- Enemy Mine: Ronan and Super-Skrull are usually villains but help Nova and the others defeat the Annihilation Wave. In fact, Ronan and Super-Skrull being on the same side counts as well; Kree and Skrulls hate each other.
- Evil Has a Bad Sense of Humor: In The Kree-Skrull War, where Ronan is a Jerkass, he is one of the first characters to notice the Scarlet Witch and Vision have a crush on one another, and finds this absolutely hilarious.
- Green and Mean: Ronan's signature green cloak, and he's never particularly nice. Not openly at least.
- Hidden Depths: Ronan secretly has a romantic, soft-hearted streak. He even tried bringing Crystal flowers during their engagement.
- Implacable Man: At his best. Highlight during Annihilation, he just walked straight through the Wave to get at House Fiyero, not letting them stop him at all.
- Judge, Jury, and Executioner: As he puts it, "Accusation is punishment!". Note that, although Ronan is the most known one, the Kree have a whole army of Accusers.
- Knight Templar: During the prologue to Annihilation, he was on an alien planet and killed a village leader who'd executed his own daughter. When it was pointed out to him what the daughter had done (fallen in love with a member of an enemy tribe), and that the leader was perfectly within his rights under their laws to execute her, he replied that what she had done was not against Kree law. He was pretty intense during this scene, as the whole incident really pissed him off.Ronan: I am Ronan the Accuser. Wherever I set my foot, there Kree law holds sway.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: When the seriously angry Inhumans came to Hala after Secret Invasion, Ronan surrendered the minute they came near, rather than bothering to fight.
- Large Ham: GUILTY!
- Lousy Lovers Are Losers: In Captain Marvel Vol 4 #24, while dealing with the Kree, Noh-Varr witnesses Ronan argue with his ex Una-Rogg, with her accusing him of being an unsatisfactory lover and mocking that the size of his Universal Weapon was to "make up" for "size deficiencies elsewhere". Even Ronan's guards start making fun of him once they hear it.
- Love Cannot Overcome: Despite it originally being arranged, he and Crystal ended up legitimately in love with one another, but after their separation in Hickman's Fantastic Four run, and the destruction of Hala by J'son of Spartax, Ronan is too broken to try and restart their marriage.
- Mercy Kill: Ends up captured by Kree fanatics and systematically gets his limbs removed and replaced with robotics. He begs Black Bolt to put him out of his misery. Black Bolts grants his wish.
- My Country, Right or Wrong: He is loyal to the Kree people and state to a fault, though not always to its present rulers if they are evil or corrupt.
- My Nayme Is: Its Ro-nan, not Ro-nin.
- Meaningful Name: However, the phonetics are appropriate, especially during Annihilation.
- Never My Fault: During Royals, he blames Crystal for their marriage falling apart. She points out the marriage fell apart thanks to Ronan reviving the Supreme Intelligence. He doesn't take it well.
- Powered Armor: Ronan's armor provides protection, scanners, cloaking, and enhances his strength. It is adaptable.
- Proud Warrior Race Guy: Of the "Proud Soldier Race" type, as the Kree are more of a species of fascist/Communist totalitarians than Klingon-like Vikings or samurai.
- Punch-Clock Villain: On the days when he's loyal to the Supremor, but not invested beyond doing what he's told.
- Rouge Angles of Satin: Drinking game, we dare you to type his name on Google and drink every time his name is spelled Ronin on forums and YouTube comments. Your liver will probably be destroyed and you will die for the Kree empire.
- Rogues' Gallery Transplant: Started as a Fantastic Four villain and then he became the Arch-Enemy of the first Captain Marvel (Mar-Vell), until Thanos came along.
- Shoot the Dog: During Annihilation: Conquest, he was fully prepared to raze Hala to the ground, killing every man and woman there, rather than let them live under Phalanx rule.
- Swiss-Army Weapon: Ronan uses the most powerful of the Universal Weapon or Cosmi-Rod wielded by the Accusers. He can use it for energy blasts, force-fields, matter manipulation and flight. The weapon has a built-in fail-safe: only Accusers in their armor can safely wield it.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: With Super-Skrull, during Annihilation. They'd quite gladly kill one another given half the chance, but have to settle for insulting each other instead.
- Took a Level in Badass: During Annihilation.
- You Kill It, You Bought It: Briefly led the Kree after euthanizing the lobotomized Supreme Intelligence, until the Inhumans came a'calling.
Korath the Pursuer
Korath the Pursuer
Alter Ego: Korath-Thak
Notable Aliases: The Pursuer
First Appearance: Quasar #32 (March, 1992)
Korath the Pursuer was a Kree cyber-geneticist, former member of the Kree Starforce and the first Phalanx Select.
- First Of Its Kind: He was the first, and for a time, only Pursuer. There were budgetary issues (yes, an alien empire with an entire galaxy still has problems with cutbacks...)
- Implacable Man: As his title indicates, it's his job to "pursue" enemies of the Kree Empire.
- Red/Green Contrast: His red armor contrasts well with Ronan's green cloak.
- Reforged into a Minion: He's converted into a slave of the Phalanx by Ultron.
- You Have Failed Me: Ultron kills him for failing to capture Adam Warlock.
Captain Atlas
Captain Atlas
Alter Ego: Att-Lass
Notable Aliases: Mr. Atlas, At-Lass, Titanium Man
First Appearance: Quasar #9 (April, 1990)
Captain Atlas is a warrior and decorated captain of the Kree military who worked with Doctor Minerva during Operation: Galactic Storm.- Amazon Chaser: Towards Doctor Minn-Erva. Seeing her fighting makes him even more passionate about her.
- Broken Pedestal: He didn't take finding out that the Supreme Intelligence caused the events of Operation: Galatic Storm well.
- Driven to Suicide: Decided to kill himself rather than live with the shame and guilt of having served the Supreme Intelligence's plan. It didn't take.
- Legacy Character: Third person to become the Titanium Man.
- Punny Name: Yet another Kree whose name forms a human word.
Captain Marvel
Captain Mar-Vell
Alter Ego: Mar-Vell
First Appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes #12
See Captain Mar-Vell for more info.
Doctor Eve
Doctor Eve
First Appearance: Mighty Captain Marvel Vol. 1, #0 (February, 2017)
Dr. Eve served as a medical officer in the Imperial Kree Army. In hopes to help retore Hala to its former glory, Dr. Eve devised a method of genetic splicing to bring fallen Kree soldiers back to life.
- Human Aliens: Being a pink-skinned Kree, she looks like a caucasian woman.
Doctor Minerva
Doctor Minerva
Alter Ego: Doctor Minn-Erva
First Appearance: Captain Marvel Vol. 1, #50
The blue skinned Kree genetic scientist and spy to the home-world of Kree-Lar found Captain Mar-Vell's genetic attributes as a viable mate. Gaining similar powers to Ms. Marvel, she joined the Kree Starforce and later would be a major player in the end of the aging Kree Empire.
- Ace Pilot: She can operate sophisticated Kree technology and spaceships.
- Costume Copycat: She went around in an imitation of Carol's starting Ms. Marvel outfit, just without the exposed midriff, back and legs.
- Domino Mask: Wore a black one to imitate Carol Danvers. Her new Starforce uniform is green instead.
- Evilutionary Biologist: She was in on the Supreme Intelligence's plan to blow up most of the Kree Empire, figuring it'd be a good thing.
- Flying Brick: Her powers allow her to fly and is much stronger than the average Kree.
- Hoist by His Own Petard: Gave Ripley Ryan the powers siphoned from Carol Danvers, and when she found out Minerva was engineering disasters in order to recruit Carol, Star beat her to near death and wrote with her blood "You're not as smart as you think."
- Morally Ambiguous Doctorate: The woman has little morals when it comes to experimenting with genetics of others.
- The Social Darwinist: One of the reasons she went along with the plan in Operation: Galactic Storm, believing any Kree left over would be naturally stronger.
Una-Rogg
Una-Rogg
Alter Ego: Una-Rogg
Notable Aliases:
First Appearance: Captain Marvel Vol 4 #12
Una is a member of the Kree and is the daughter of the warrior Yon-Rogg. Una is a very unique Kree, as all female Kree are born with the ability to use their minds to make any man fall in love with them. Along with that ability Una was one of the very few women who could also drain the life out of somebody by kissing them.
- Compensating for Something: Una-Rogg and Ronan used to sleep together before he was elevated to the position of Accuser, and she accused him of being an unsatisfactory lover and claimed that the size of his Universal Weapon was to make up for size deficiencies elsewhere. She also revealed that her life-draining ability first manifested while they were having sex.
- Green-Skinned Space Babe: She's pretty attractive, even by Kree standards.
- New Powers as the Plot Demands: "Kree women have the ability to control the minds of men"... yeah, forty-plus stories of Kree women not doing that at any point might disagree with ya there.
- One-Steve Limit: Not the same Una as the Una Mar-Vell and her dad fought over, but it does add an extra layer of creepiness to the whole thing.
- Stripperiffic: The outfit she wears leaves plenty of skin exposed.
- Yellow Eyes of Sneakiness: Her golden eyes indicate she's sneakier and more clever than her father.
Yon-Rogg
Yon-Rogg
Alter Ego: Colonel Yon-Rogg
Notable Aliases: Magnitron
First Appearance: Marvel Super-Heroes Vol. 1, #12
Kree Commander Yon-Rogg, enemy of Captain Mar-Vell and Ms. Marvel. Were it not for him, Carol Danvers would never have gained superpowers.
- Aliens Are Bastards: He's a Kree and a complete bastard.
- Arch-Enemy: Started as Mar-Vell's most dangerous enemy, up until his death in Captain Marvel issue 12. He sort of completely got supplanted by Thanos, who took the role of Mar's biggest enemy until his death.
- Back from the Dead: As Magnitron. Took over forty years, an impressive record of dead by comic book standards.
- Came Back Strong: As the psychic and fragmental supervillain Magnitron.
- Chest Burster: Of a sort. His most recent form of existence is based on a fragment of the Psyche-Magnitron in Carol's head and as she got weaker, he got stronger.
- Enemy Within: His status as a fragment in Carol's mind.
- Evil Is Petty: Aside from the trope below, at least some of his sheer maniacal hatred for Mar-Vell was just because.
- Green-Eyed Monster: He's partly driven by his jealousy of Una and Mar-Vell's relationship.
- Human Aliens: He is part of the Pink Kree who are identical to White humans. He tends to be depicted as a blue Kree in other continuities and adaptations though.
- Insane Admiral
- It Runs in the Family: His son and daughter are just as loony as he is. Evidently the Kree don't have social services (and it raises questions about Mrs. Yogg).
- The Neidermeyer: He was a cowardly and self-centered high ranking officer of the Kree empire who tried to jeopardize his platoon's mission on Earth by killing or framing Mar-Vell just so he could get his girlfriend Una.
- Reality Warper: To a limited extent, as Magnitron.
- Smug Snake
- Uriah Gambit: He sent Mar to Earth in the hopes he'd get killed. Didn't work.
Captain Glory
Captain Glory
Alter Ego: Glah-Ree
Notable Aliases: Gla-Ree (misspelling)
First Appearance: Avengers #676 (March, 2018)
Glah-Ree was a Captain in the Kree Armada and a member or the Lethal Legion.
- Alternate Self: He's possibly the Prime Universe version of Noh-Varr's father.
- Boxed Crook: After Empyre, for his role in R'Klll's coup against Hulkling and his refusal to atone by becoming a peace envoy, he's sent to a prison camp until the Emperor feels he's needed. This is voluntary on his part, as he indicates that he is literally incapable of being anything but a warrior, noting the difference between him and Kl'rt is that the latter's a Skrull and can change, and he has no problems with it - he just sees himself as a weapon ready to be used. A flash forward shows it wasn't enough.
- Co-Dragons: He and Kl'rt the Super-Skrull act in this manner for Dorrek VIII/Hulkling during Empyre.
- Expy:
- Described as a "Kree Captain America", and he does have similarities. He just lacks a lot of Steve's noble qualities.
- He also has a certain similarity to Ronan the Accuser, who was dead when Glah-Ree first appeared.
- Good Thing You Can Heal: Had a run in with the Devil Hulk which starts with his spine getting shattered, followed by the Hulk doing... something unpleasant to him. Next time he shows up, he's just peachy. Gotta love that advanced Kree tech.
- Human Aliens: He is a pink-skinned Kree, meaning he looks like a caucasian human.
- I Am Not a Gun: Subverted. In his opinion, that's all he is (thanks to his gene-mods), and he's both fine with it and realistic about how useless he is in peacetime, instead opting to be a Boxed Crook.
- Odd Friendship: With Kl'rt the Super Skrull, of all people. He even refers to the latter as 'my friend'.
- Super-Soldier: He's a Flying Brick, and further genetically modified to be unable to feel guilt (which allows him to No-Sell the Penance Stare - though it's indicated that he can feel regret) and unable to function in peacetime.
Shatterax
Shatterax
Alter Ego: Roco-Bai
First Appearance: Marvel Graphic Novel #1
Shatterax was a Kree techno-warrior, first of a new breed of cyborg soldiers. He battled Iron Man of the Avengers during the Kree-Shi'ar War. He was later added to the Kree Starforce.

Chan-Dar
Chan-Dar
First Appearance: Annihilation: Conquest - Star-Lord #1
Captain Chan-Dar of the Kree Military helped form Star-Lord's Covert Ops team "The Dirty Half-Dozen."
- Deadpan Snarker: In fairness, everyone in the miniseries she appears in is snarky. Chan's just following the curve.
- Green-Skinned Space Babe: She's a very pretty Kree lady.
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Not entirely wild about some of her people's arrogant attitudes. That said, she sees it as entirely valid to arrest Bug for getting a Kree woman pregnant. Genetic purity and all that...
- Sci-Fi Bob Haircut: Has her hair in a bob-cut and is a woman from an alien species.
- Sleeves Are for Wimps: Her uniform doesn't have any sleeves.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: She has never reappeared since Annihilation Conquest.
Av-Rom
Captain Av-Rom
First Appearance: Young Avengers #10
Av-Rom was a Captain in the Imperial Kree Army and headed the squad sent to Earth to retrieve Hulkling and inform him of his heritage. A fight broke out between the Kree, Skrulls, Super Skrull, Young Avengers and New Avengers but was eventually stopped.- Back for the Dead: Returns from a 14-year long absence in Web of Venom: Empyre's End to be the first of his crew possessed by Knull's Symbiotes.
- Cool Helmet: Always seen with his Kree military helmet.
- Mercy Kill: Begs Talos to kill him once he finds himself completely possessed by Knull's Symbiotes. Talos obliges, but his body is still possessed.
- Pet the Dog: When infested by Symbiotes, he orders M'lanz to escape and leave him behind. Considering mere months ago Kree and Skrulls were still enemies, this shows many are indeed willing to put aside their differences for the common good.
- Still Wearing the Old Colors: Continues to wear his Kree military uniform despite joining the Alliance with the Skrulls under Hulkling/Dorrekk VIII.
Keeyah
Keeyah
First Appearance: Starjammers #1

Tanlath
First Appearance: All-New Invaders #1 (as Tanlath)
Another member of the Accuser Corps, who fought with the Invaders briefly.
- Carry a Big Stick: Like all Accusers, she wields a Universal Weapon. After the destruction of Hala, she briefly tries wielding Ronan's, but can't because of the genetic lock. Also, because she's actually a Skrull.
- Dead All Along: Empyre reveals the actual Tanlath has been dead for years. The Tanlath we've seen is actually R'klll, Empress of the Skrulls.
- Fiery Redhead: She's got red hair.
- Walking Spoiler: What with the revelations about her identity in Empyre.
Ra-Venn
Ra-Venn
First Appearance: Annihilation: Conquest - Wraith #1
A Kree woman who becomes allies with the man known as Wraith during the Phalanx Conquest.
- Body Horror: Ra-Venn serves as an apt demonstration of what the Fault does to Kree, and it's not pretty. She turns into a writhing, cancerous blob... thing that you'd never be able to tell was humanoid, much less Kree. The Inhumans don't, until she's killed.
- Mauve Shirt: She's a not-quite important character through Conquest, disappears thereafter, and reappears during Realm of Kings.

First Appearance: Guardians of Knowhere #3 (August, 2015)

- Druid: Though an alien being with the name of Demon Druid, he actually has some druidic knowledge of magic.
- I Have Many Names: He is known as Demon Druid or Ultimus.
- Lastof His Kind: His title “Ultimus” refers to this as the final Kree Eternal and (as he temporarily believed) the final Kree.
Kree Sentries
Kree Sentries
First Appearance: Fantastic Four #64 (July, 1967)
The ultimate weapons of The Kree Army. Kree Sentries are gigantic super powered androids only created and trained to destroy any who would oppose the ever-lasting Kree or those who guard its far-flung galactic empire.
- Alas, Poor Villain: The first Sentry is treated sympathetically, even tragically, dying in the course of obeying orders to remain at its post, without even knowing whether the people who created it still exist.
- Do Androids Dream?: The earliest appearing Sentries clearly have thoughts and feelings of their own, even working up to outrage when called "robots".
- The Voiceless: Sentries in more modern stories tend to be totally quiet.
Starforce
Starforce
The Kree Starforce are a battalion of specially powered being united by the Kree military as the best of their empire's meta-beings. Utilized on several missions to defend the aging home-world of Kree-Lar, and than after its destruction the new Empire.
Vox
Super-Inhumans
A Standard Vox
Seemingly an unstoppable assassin, the Kree agent known as Vox is actually just one of a new breed of "Super-Inhumans". These are made from imprisoned Inhumans who are brainwashed, enhanced, armed, and then dressed in a gross parody of King Blackbolt. After the events of Death of the Inhumans and the Kree Imperium/Skrull Empire merger, the Vox initiative went into remission, but the threat they posed would live on in the form of the "Vox Supreme" who would come into conflict with Carol Danvers.- Evil Knockoff: They not only dress like Blackbolt, but each Vox is given a special helmet that allows them to fire highly concentrated energy blasts from their mouths with deadly precision.
Soh-Lar
First Appearance: New Avengers vol. 3 #4 (2016)
A Kree "Ultra-Warrior" from the days of the first Kree-Skrull War. Sent out to kill the Skrull Queen, things went differently when the two met on the battlefield.
- Cool Sword: Wielded a (possibly) magic sword which his son merges with his mom's sword to make an even cooler magic sword.
- Good Scars, Evil Scars: A rather rugged looking scar on his face.
- Love at First Punch: Meeting the Skrull Queen on the battlefield, Soh and she quickly fell in love, and eloped since they knew neither of their species would tolerate their fraternizing.
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: A Kree from a time when they were stuck in Absolute Xenophobe mode, and yet he fell in love with the head of state of their sworn enemy.
- Posthumous Character: Dead for however long it's been since the first Kree-Skrull War.
Morag
First Appearance: Avengers vol. 1 #133
The leader of the primitive Kree first met by Dorrek I, Emperor of the Skrulls, and the one who helped cause the birth of the Kree Empire.
- Ambiguous Situation: Makes an appearance in a flashback at the beginning of Empyre, but given it later turns out this was part of the Cotati manipulating Iron Man, how much of it is a reliable depiction is unclear, though it certainly matches what was seen of the guy before.
- Bald of Evil: Hairless, and utterly ruthless.
- Depending on the Artist: Pink or blue? His first appearances had him pink, but this was supposedly an art error, and most subsequent depictions have him blue... but sometimes, he's back to being pink.
- Disproportionate Retribution: Lose a contest with the Cotati? Kill the Skrulls who started it, then go find their homeworld and kill the rest!
- Dude, Where's My Reward?: Feeling slighted over a year's worth of hard work building a city on some dead moon of a pointless little blue-green planet was grounds in Morag's eyes to go fully genocidal on the Skrulls.
- Pelts of the Barbarian: Morag and the rest of the early Kree dressed in caveman chic.
- Rock Beats Laser: Somehow Morag and his tribe of Kree cavemen were able to storm and overpower a ship full of Skrulls.
