A US Air Force pilot who joined up because her father refused to fund her way through college, instead supporting one of her brothers who had lower marks than her, she became the USAF's top pilot and left the service a Lieutenant-Colonel. She spent time in Air Force Intelligence, teaming up with Wolverine, and then joined NASA. Her first appearance had her become the sidekick of Captain Mar-Vell and she later got powers like his via the Kree Psyche-Magnitron [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve (basically a wishing machine)]].

She became first Ms. Marvel, [[IHaveManyNames then Binary and Warbird before going back to Ms. Marvel.]] Despite an intriguing past, compelling and popular enemies in Mystique and Rogue, a strong FlyingBrick power set that then took a step up into the CosmicEntity tier, and long term membership of the Avengers and association with the X-Men, she went through a TraumaCongaLine and spent a long time as a second stringer who even [[CListFodder Stilt-Man]] didn't recognise.

Only following ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'', which showed her her potential to be the greatest hero in the world, did she kick on in and out of universe (she even got a publicist InUniverse). She got her own solo comic before taking the mantle of Captain Marvel for her own as part of Marvel NOW, becoming Captain America's right hand woman and [[WolverinePublicity turning up absolutely everywhere]].

->'''AKA:''' Sharon Ventura
->'''Debut:''' Thing #27

A former wrestler who befriended and later dated Ben Grimm, and was accidentally turned into a Thing-like bruiser due to exposure to his latent cosmic radiation. She served in the ComicBook/FantasticFour when Mr. Fantastic and the Invisible Woman retired, but has long been plagued by various mental health issues, only some of which were related to her transformation.

->'''AKA:''' Karla Sofen
->'''Debut:''' ''Captain America'' Vol. 1, #192

* BigBadWannabe: Karla is very intelligent and has a wide range of powers, but she has a tendency to overestimate her abilities, often only winning because she is working with others against particular foes and forced to acknowledge that she isn't quite as manipulative as Baron Zemo or as skilled a fighter as Photon when they manage to outmanoeuvre her in direct confrontations.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Karla tends to plot against and betray anyone all the freaking time.
* CurbStompBattle: In issue 12 of the first Thunderbolts series, she's the one who goes after Baron Zemo when the the Thunderbolts try to free Earth's heroes from his control. In a rare case of RealityEnsues, her SuperStrength and his lack of a pre-established edge means that she effortlessly handles him; she crushes his hand so badly the bones are described as snapping like twigs, breaks his jaws, pulverizes three of his teeth, and crumples his ribcage.
* CutLexLuthorACheck: Whilst handing out her CurbStompBattle to Baron Zemo, she furiously berates him for his lack of imagination, declaring the Thunderbolts to have been a scam that could have profited them for ''years'', but which he wasted on one single doomed-to-fail scheme.
* EvilCounterpart: After already having been Ms. Marvel, Karla is put into Captain Marvel's costume, [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marveldatabase/images/7/75/Karla_Sofen_%28Earth-616%29_from_Dark_Avengers_Vol_1_185_001.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130116020840 making her baffled at how much people want her to be this to Carol Danvers.]]
* FatalFlaw: Sloth. Karla ''always'' takes the easiest option, even when it could come back down the road to bite her. After the redemption-seeking Thunderbolts turn on Zemo, she uses her position as leader to make several decisions that grant them the momentary victory, but which could clearly come back to bite them, such as her actions on Kosmos and against Graviton. This results in the rest of the Thunderbolts calling her out on this failing, and ends in issue 20 of the original run, where everyone agrees that this trait of hers makes her unsuited to be their leader.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: She started out as just a henchperson for Doctor Faustus. She's come a looong way since.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: At one point, she actually did try to go straight. It didn't last.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: On Occasion; for instance she WAS genuinely saddened when Jolt was murdered despite the fact that Jolt wasn't overly fond of her.
* LackOfEmpathy: She outright swore as a youth she'd always put herself first. She's generally held to that.
* LegacyCharacter: There was another Moonstone before Karla. Karla messed with his head, then took the moonstone for herself.
* MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Unsurprisingly, Karla generally used her degree in psychology to screw with people, causing several of her patients to kill themselves.
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: In a rare slip-up from her, Karla let slip that Norman Osborn was a villain, and his Dark Avengers team consisted entirely of villains, to Noh-Varr, turning the Kree against Norman.
* NotMeThisTime: During the Ellis run, Moonstone ran into Songbird's on-the-wagon mother just after she'd had an argument with Melissa. Very soon, Melissa's mother was found dead, from drunk driving. Later on, Norman Osborn asked if Karla was responsible for this.
-->'''Norman:''' Did you kill her?
-->'''Karla:''' Did ''you?''
-->''(awkward pause)''
-->'''Norman:''' ... Well, then.
* PsychoPsychologist: Sofen is practically the ur-example for the Marvel Universe. She used to enjoy convincing suicidal patients to kill themselves.
* PragmaticVillainy: She actively encouraged her teammates to reform and sided with them when they turned against Zemo, not because she was noble, but because, as explained above, she felt pretending to be heroes was more profitable and comfortable than Zemo's idiotic scheme to TakeOverTheWorld.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Her epic chewing out of Baron Zemo for blowing their cover as the Masters of Evil during her CurbStompBattle with him in issue 12 of the original run:
-->'''Meteorite:'''Let me '''explain''' something, Zemo. Let me tell you '''why''' I undermined your leadership at every turn. I've got a pretty '''simple''' philosophy of life. You want to '''hear''' it? It's this: '''[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Don't. Get.]] [[SuddenlyShouting CAUGHT!]]''' Oh, I was '''stupid''' at first - I thought my powers made me '''invincible'''... so I ended up getting a '''record''', getting '''caught'''. I was willing to ride it '''out''', serve my sentence and start '''anew''' -- but you press-ganged me into your '''scheme''', and there went '''that'''. Still, it was a '''good''' scheme -- posing as heroes -- and we made it '''work'''. We had it all -- public support, adulation; the perfect cover to pull any '''number''' of scams -- and you went and '''blew''' it over '''just one'''! '''Who CARES about ruling the world?! Who wants to do that much WORK?''' We could have run this con out for '''years''' before it got old! But no, you couldn't be '''smart''' -- not when you could play '''Hitler''' like your idiot '''father'''!
* TheStarscream: Karla's greatest ambition is to be the one in charge - as much as she likes messing with peoples' heads for fun, it's pursuit of power that drives her manipulations and treachery first and foremost.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: She ''hated'' having to play Ms. Marvel for Norman, muttering angrily about Carol's old, revealing outfit.

!!Meteorite / Moonstone

Dr. Karla Sofen is a founding member of the Thunderbolts and former member of the Masters of Evil. She has flirted with both sides of the law in Norman Osborn's Avengers as Ms. Marvel. She's a control freak with nearly limitless power granted her by moonstones, hence her codename.

* CurbStompBattle: In issue 12 of the first series, she's the one who goes after Baron Zemo when the the Thunderbolts try to free Earth's heroes from his control. In a rare case of RealityEnsues, her SuperStrength and his lack of a pre-established edge means that she effortlessly handles him; she crushes his hand so badly the bones are described as snapping like twigs, breaks his jaws, pulverizes three of his teeth, and crumples his ribcage.

[[folder: Ms. Marvel/Binary/Warbird/Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers)]]

A US Air Force pilot who joined up because her father refused to fund her way through college, instead supporting one of her brothers who had lower marks than her, she became the USAF's top pilot and left the service a Lieutenant-Colonel. She spent time in Air Force Intelligence, teaming up with Wolverine, and then joined NASA. Her first appearance had her become the sidekick of Captain Mar-Vell and she later got powers like his via the Kree Psyche-Magnitron [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve (basically a wishing machine)]].

She became first Ms. Marvel, [[IHaveManyNames then Binary and Warbird before going back to Ms. Marvel.]] Despite an intriguing past, compelling and popular enemies in Mystique and Rogue, a strong FlyingBrick power set that then took a step up into the CosmicEntity tier, and long term membership of the Avengers and association with the X-Men, she went through a TraumaCongaLine and spent a long time as a second stringer who even [[CListFodder Stilt-Man]] didn't recognise.

Only following ''ComicBook/HouseOfM'', which showed her her potential to be the greatest hero in the world, did she kick on in and out of universe (she even got a publicist InUniverse). She got her own solo comic and starred in the second season of ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'', before taking the mantle of Captain Marvel for her own as part of Marvel NOW, becoming Captain America's right hand woman and [[WolverinePublicity turning up absolutely everywhere]] before Marvel announced that she was getting her own self-titled film as part of the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse.
----

* AcePilot: She used to be in the Air Force.
* ActionGirl: She's currently known as 'Earth's Mightiest Hero' for a very good reason.
* TheAlcoholic: For a time, during Avengers Vol 3. She was unceremoniously booted off the team for it, and it took some time for her to recover.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Though actually it's all of ''her own'' powers combined: as Captain Marvel she has both her original Ms. Marvel powers and her Binary powers.
* AmazonianBeauty: Her muscles, toned broad shoulders, toned stomach, muscular yet voluptuous body, and long muscular legs tend to stand out in those skintight outfits she wears.
* {{Ambadassador}}: She's currently "Ambassador Extraordinary" for Earth, acting as liaison to other civilizations. Often this consists of beating people up.
* ArchNemesis: Mystique used to be this, having made it her mission in life to ''destroy'' Carol. Then it passed to Rogue, then... nothing. Nowadays it appears that Moonstone has taken the role.
* BadassNormal: Even before becoming Ms. Marvel, Carol could still hold her own, being an experienced and highly decorated Air Force officer. Counts as an EmpoweredBadassNormal after gaining powers. Taken even further in ComicBook/UltimateMarvel, where Carol is ''still'' a military woman and never gained powers nor became Ms. Marvel (but as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. she gets to be S.H.I.E.L.D. Director for a while).
* BareYourMidriff: Her original Ms. Marvel outfit featured her toned stomach.
* BoisterousBruiser: In the 2014 Captain Marvel issue #1 her two favourite things are Film/StarWars and punching stuff.
* BoyishShortHair: Her current hairstyle as of 2015.
* BreakTheBadass: Again, and again, and again, and ''again''.
* BrokenPedestal: Her actions in ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' have destroyed [[ComicBook/MsMarvel2014 Kamala Khan's]] idolization of her.
* BuffySpeak: In some more recent versions, DependingOnTheWriter. Averted in her original characterization, when her diction was generally cultured and precise.
* DamselInDistress: Started off as this for Captain Mar-Vell. Only in the sense that she was taken captive, though. Carol Danvers didn't bother with the damsel-ness.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Danvers' early superhero career included rape, sudden pregnancy, kidnapping, and being depowered.
* DependingOnTheArtist: Her haircut as Captain Marvel. Is it power hair? A pixie cut? Long flowing locks? A sort of Mohawk-thing?
* {{Depower}}: Lost her Binary powers in the early 00s, which drove her to drink. They didn't come back until early 2007, during a fight the Collective, and since then have flicked on and off.
* DistaffCounterpart: What she started out as. She's long since gotten out from under Mar-Vell's shadow.
* DrinkingOnDuty: During ''Avengers'' vol 3, Carol starts drinking while superheroing. The only one who actually notices is Iron Man, who doesn't say anything because [[PoorCommunicationKills he feels it isn't his place]]. Eventually, Carol starts lashing out at everyone, and accidentally badly injures Lockjaw the dog at a serious moment, prompting the Avengers to suspend her from the team.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: For one of Marvel's longest serving heroines, she didn't get much respect from her fellow heroes. It's why she took up superheroing again after M-Day, to prove she could be one of the world's greats.
** As of Marvel NOW and her taking of the Captain Marvel name, as well as her establishing herself as Captain America's second in command, she's largely shaken this off.
* EmbarrassingNickname: "Cheeseburger"
* FlamingHair: As Binary.
* FlyingBrick: Danvers has flight, super-strength, resistance to injury, and the MostCommonSuperpower. Twist: She can absorb ambient and directed energy, and project energy blasts from her fists (though she also had a sort of "[[SpiderSense seventh sense]]"/[[BornLucky luck power]] for a while), but despite her impressive power level she has always been something of a second-stringer. This was played with in the House of M event, where in that Alternate Universe she was the greatest non-mutant superhero in the world. And since people kept their memories of the House of M reality, her knowledge that she could be that good has spurred her to new heights, her own monthly title, and leadership of The Avengers.
* HairTriggerTemper: Not that Carol is always mellow anyway, but she's a ''very'' bad-tempered drunk, responding to simple requests from Captain America with accusations that he doesn't think women can think for themselves.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Has a bit of Kree DNA in her, due to how she got her powers.In Life of Captain Marvel # 3 it's revaled that her mother was secretly Kree. So Carol's always been half-Kree it seems.
* FourStarBadass: Holds the rank of Colonel in the US Air Force, so going by "Captain" Marvel is a downgrade. In one issue, she uses this fact as an excuse to order around ComicBook/CaptainAmerica since he is "just a Captain." Problem is, the writer of the issue was apparently unaware that Captain America is a retired ''Brigadier General'', and thus would '''''still''''' outrank her. He's taking an even bigger downgrade than she is.
* GeniusDitz: Downplayed. Carol is very smart, but she comes up short compared to the likes of Franchise/IronMan and [[Franchise/FantasticFour Mr. Fantastic]].
* HollywoodAtheist: Averted. Carol is the rare atheist protagonist who isn't a nihilist.
* IHaveManyNames: Danvers' codenames have included Ms. Marvel, Warbird, Binary, and Captain Marvel.
* InformedDeformity: Brian Reed's run on her title had characters repeatedly calling her fat apropos of nothing.
* ItsPersonal: First, with Rogue. When Carol met her again after their first encounter, she punched Rogue through the X-Mansion roof. They eventually came to an understanding, of sorts. And with Mystique, who made it her mission in life to get at Carol by any means necessary, including brutally murdering her loved ones. Then, with Kang / Immortus / Whatever-He's-Calling-Himself-This-Week, after the events of ''Avengers'' #200.
* JekyllAndHyde: The early ''Ms Marvel'' days had Carol blacking out whenever she became Ms. Marvel, which caused some problems with her career. She eventually managed to solve the problem.
* KickTheDog: Usually ends up handing these out in crisis crossovers. One example would involve arresting [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Julia Carpenter]] for being a Pro-Registration defector and working as a spy for Franchise/CaptainAmerica during ''ComicBook/CivilWar'', ''in front of her own daughter'' - though she did have a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment afterwards.
** Not to mention her actions in ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' wherein she arrested and imprisoned a woman who was guilty of doing nothing -- absolutely nothing -- without any sort of due process being applied. Some felt she had fallen into VillainProtagonist territory at that point (despite other, more famous characters, e.g. Tony Stark, having pulled far worse in the past).
* LegacyCharacter: For Captain Mar-Vell.
* LeotardOfPower: Her signature black Warbird costume is this.
* MindRape: What happened when Rogue took her memories. It took all the emotion behind them as well, and nearly killed Carol.
* MilitarySuperhero: At times.
* MostCommonSuperpower: Carol is very buxom, even by comic book standards.
* MsFanservice: She tends to wear outfits that highlight her large breasts, muscular yet voluptuous body, strong toned muscles, toned broad shoulders, sizeable backside and long muscular legs. In the era of the black-and-gold leotard costume she was usually subject to the MaleGaze.
* NighInvulnerable: As a side-effect of being part Kree.
* OddFriendship: With Jessica Jones.
* OneWomanArmy: She defeated an army of Super-Skrulls during ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion''.
* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: According to ''New Avengers'', she's never seen ''Ghostbusters'', and doesn't even recognise the phrase "who ya gonna call", when Peter Parker and Ben Grimm quote it, much to their distress.
* PrimaryColorChampion: Her Captain Marvel uniform.
* ShesGotLegs: She tends to have her muscular legs are usually highlighted through her original costumes that she wore during the times that she was Ms. Marvel (which were pant-less and {{Stripperiffic}}) and the tights of the current form-fitting outfit that she wears as Captain Marvel.
* ShipTease: With ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' after she agreed to go on a date with him. When she was possessed by the symbiote, Venom suggests to Spidey she has feelings for him. Despite mild flirting on both sides, they've become PlatonicLifePartners, though it's implied Peter wishes they got a RelationshipUpgrade.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: While he gets under her skin, Carol developed an interest in Peter due to his good nature. When puts down he feels he doesn't belong with in the clouds with her and rest of the Avengers, she brings up she likes having him in the clouds.
* SleevesAreForWimps: Her signature black costume.
* StatuesqueStunner: She's almost six feet tall, muscular, and beautiful.
* StayInTheKitchen: Old Man Danvers was an utter dick to his first-born child, telling Carol she shouldn't have bothered with that education nonsense, married some guy and produced lot of kids. It's why she joined the military in the first place, to prove him wrong about everything.
* SuperStrength: Enough to, on one memorable occasion, drop kick Iron Man straight through a passenger plane and, during ''Avengers vs X-Men'' catch the top half of the Empire State Building.
* TheTeetotaler: Danvers used to have a serious alcohol problem. She later got sober.
* TraumaButton: Kang's face. Seeing his son Marcus looking like him during ''Kang War'' sent Carol ballistic.
* WithUsOrAgainstUs: Starts slipping into this during ''Civil War II''. She even tries saying the phrase to the Ultimates, only to get interrupted by America Chavez [[ChairmanOfTheBrawl expressing her opinion on the matter]].
* WolverinePublicity: Following ''ComicBook/SecretWars2015'', Carol has been announced as a member of ComicBook/AForce ''and'' the new [[ComicBook/TheUltimates Ultimates]] team, along with her own solo comic.
** She's also getting her own film in the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse and appearing in season 3 of ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble''.

* ForgottenFallenFriend: Number of times Carol has mentioned him in the last couple of decades; nil.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: During a brief cameo in an issue of ''Uncanny X-Men'' (not coincidentally, when Chris Claremont was still the writer of ''Ms. Marvel''), he meets with Stephen Lang, the very unstable head of Project: Armageddon and tells him his ideas are completely nuts, and vows to stop him.

* EnemyWithin: His current status as a fragment in Carol's mind.
* GreenEyedMonster: He's partly driven by his jealousy of Una and Mar-Vell's relationship.
* HumanAliens: 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.

* BigBad: Arguably the most prominent for Carol in the modern times.
* IceQueen
* LegacyCharacter: Karla Sofen became Moonstone by manipulating the previous Moonstone (who happened to be one of her patients) into handing over their power source.
* PsychoPsychologist: Sofen is practically the ur-example for the Marvel Universe. She used to enjoy convincing suicidal patients to kill themselves.

!! Supreme Intelligence
* BrainInAJar: Or rather, multiple brains in jars as seen in the Avengers' storyline Operation Galactic Storm.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: it has no problems [[ComicBook/OperationGalacticStorm killing 90% of the Kree if it removes the genetic gap that keeps them from evolving]].
* DeathIsCheap: He was lobotomized by [[TheQuisling House Fiyero]] during ''Annihilation'', 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.
* GodEmperor: He is the ruler of the Kree empire and he's also considered as a sort of deity by the Kree.
* HiveMind: He was created by merging the minds of various Kree military officers, scientists and philosophers.
* MasterComputer: He runs the Kree Empire
* OrganicTechnology
* StarfishAliens: He appears as a giant green potato with tentacles for hair inside a tube.
* VillainRespect: While not always a villain, it's got a serious case of BlueAndOrangeMorality. It also has a very real respect for humanity, the Avengers and Carol in particular, as seen in ''ComicBook/{{Infinity}}'' when it subtly smacks down J'son of Spartax when he 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. During ''ComicBook/TheBlackVortex'', 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.

!! Warren Traveler
* AlternateUniverse: He's Judas Traveler from the "Clone Saga" from the ComicBook/HouseOfM universe.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: Was originally a Spider-Man villain.

* HalfHumanHybrid: Has a bit of Kree DNA in her, due to how she got her powers.

* best friend: She was one of Carol's closest friends, but hasn't been seen or mentioned for years.

!! Sallia Petrie

* best friend: She was one of Carol closest friends, but hasn't been seen or mentioned for years.

* GeniusDitz: Downplayed. Carol is very smart, but she comes up short compared to the likes of Franchise/IronMan and [[Franchise/FantasticFour Mr. Fantastic]].

!! Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew)

!! Captain Marvel/Photon/Pulsar/Spectrum (Monica Rambeau)

!! Ms. Marvel (Kamala Khan)

See [[Comicbook/MsMarvel2014 her own page]].

* AmazonianBeauty: Her muscles, toned broad shoulders, and muscular yet voluptuous figure tend to stand out in those skintight outfits she wears.

* MostCommonSuperpower: Carol is stacked, even by comic book standards.
* MsFanservice: Her outfits (prior to taking the Captain Marvel name) highlighted her large breasts, muscular yet voluptuous body, strong toned muscles, toned broad shoulders, sizeable backside and long muscular legs. In the era of the black-and-gold leotard costume she was usually subject to the MaleGaze.

* StatuesqueStunner: She's almost six feet tall and built to kill.

!! [[ComicBook/MonicaRambeau Captain Marvel/Photon/Pulsar/Spectrum]] (Monica Rambeau)

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: Monica is a black woman. {{Lampshaded}} when she first met Carol.
-->'''Carol Danvers''': Did Mar-Vell decide to retire [[WholesomeCrossdresser or is this some hitherto unsuspected side to his character?]]
* AfroAsskicker: Back when she first appeared, though now she usually favors dreadlocks.
* BadassLongCoat: Started wearing one as part of ''Comicbook/{{Nextwave}}''. It's since become one of her signature looks.
* BerserkButton: People stealing her old names without asking. Happened with Genis-Vell when he decided to call himself Photon, and then Carol when she decided to become the new Captain Marvel.
* CareerEndingInjury: Her tenure as the leader of the Avengers ended when a disastrous battle with the Leviathan dissipated most of her mass, leaving her in a weakened, emaciated state. She eventually got better, though.
* EnergyBeings
* IHaveManyNames: Captain Marvel, Photon, Pulsar, and Spectrum.
* MayDecemberRomance: With Blue Marvel, who is significantly OlderThanHeLooks.
* StoryBreakerPower: Her abilities (particularly her light speed travel) arguably make her one of the most powerful Avengers, which is usually why she's one of the first people to be taken out during a battle.
* TookALevelInBadass: She's now got her own variant on the Flash's Infinite Mass Punch. She can use it ''[[EarthShatteringKaboom to destroy planets.]]''
* VitriolicBestBuds: with Carol.

* AbusivePrecursors: 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.
* AliensAreBastards: 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.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Most of them have blue skin.
* ArchEnemy: They are considered this by the Skrulls. The feeling is mutual.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: 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.
* CrazyPrepared: 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.
* TheEmpire: The Kree Empire, natch.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: 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.
* EnemyMine: The Kree tend to cooperate with orher races and be on the side of the good guys when theres an universal threat like the Annhilation Wave from ''Annihilation'' or the Builders from ''Infinity''.
* EqualOpportunityEvil: Some of their high-ranking officers are women. Nenora, a Skrull spy who disguised herself into a Kree, became empress for a short time after the Silver Surfer caused the Supreme Intelligence to malfunction.
* EvilutionaryBiologist: The Kree are very big on genetic engineering, as apparently their race has lost the ability to evolve naturally. They have created the Inhumans by experimenting on a bunch of prehistoric humans.
* EvilVsEvil: The Kree-Skrull War. Both sides are anything but friendly towards planet Earth and its inhabitants.
* FantasticNuke: 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.
* FantasticRacism: 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).
* TheFightingNarcissist: 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.
* ForeverWar: The Kree-Skrull War, which lasted for many thousands of years until the heroes of Earth got involved.
* GalacticSuperPower: One of the big three alien empires in the Marvel Universe along with the Skrulls and the Shi'ar.
* HeavyWorlder: The Kree homeworld of Hala has an higher gravity than Earth, which leads them to develop superhuman strenght and agility once they enter our planet's atmosphere.
* HumanAliens: The Pink Kree are basically White humans with silver hair.
* HumongousMecha: 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.
* {{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. [[spoiler:According to ''ComicBook/{{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.]]
* JudgeJuryAndExecutioner: The Accuser Corps, with Ronan The Accuser being the most prominent member. They are basically the [[JudgeDredd Judges]] or the inquisitors from ''Warhammer 40,000'' with big hammers.
* KillerRobot: The Sentries mentioned above.
* LadyOfWar: As mentioned above, several Kree commanders are women.
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: 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.
* NobleDemon: Despite their arrogance and cruelty, the Kree value honor and loyalty and they have no problem with teaming up with the heroes when there's a common threat,
* RubberForeheadAliens: The main blue ethnicity of the Kree are basically blue skinned humans with various hair colors and sometimes pointy ears.
* ProudWarriorRace: A variant of this trope. Instead of being a culture of viking-esque [[BoisterousBruiser Boisterous Bruisers]] like many examples, the Kree embodies the more cold and rigid modern military disciplines.
* PunyEarthlings: Like many aliens in the Marvel Universe, they don't have a high opinion on humans.
* ScaryDogmaticAliens: They seem to be a combination of UsefulNotes/NaziGermany and ImperialJapan with a dash of SpaceRomans.
* SoreLoser: When the Skrulls chose the [[PlantAliens 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.
* SpaceColdWar: When they are not in a conflict, they are depicted as having uneasy truces with the other space empires.
* TheSpartanWay: Fitting with their ProudWarriorRace shtick, the Kree favor tough discipline and pragmatism over kind emotions.
* StateSec: The Accuser Corps and the Pursuer Corps.
* VestigialEmpire: 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.
* VillainousLegacy: Manifested with the Inhumans and the Sentry robots the Kree left on various planets during ancient times.
