The Kree

In General

The Kree

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy | Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. | Captain Marvel | What If...? | Secret Invasion | The Marvels

A race of mostly blue-skinned aliens with a powerful interstellar empire. Long expansionist, the Kree have waged wars with other races and cultures in the galaxy, particularly the Nova Corps. They also have a history of conducting experiments on alien races to build armies of super-powered beings.

---

• Absolute Xenophobe: In the face of Kree expansion and imperialism, other races are given two choices: Submission or extermination.
• Adaptational Villainy: In the comics, the Kree are a paranoid and highly militaristic state who have legitimate grievances with the Skrulls, and have joined forces with the heroes against a common threat quite a few times. In the movies, the Kree are unapologetic imperialists who enslave and slaughter entire populations for their own gain and pursue the Skrulls simply because they won't submit to them.
• Always Chaotic Evil: With very few exceptions, all Kree (at least the military branch) are shamelessly imperialistic, warlike, and just downright brutal bastards.
• Amazing Technicolor Population: Most of the Kree seen are blue, which in the comics is the original base race, though there is a subset with a variety of human-like skin tones such as Yon-Rogg and Korath, which is what allows the Kree to convince the amnesiac human Carol Danvers that she is also a Kree. The blue-skinned Kree also change color to human tones when exposed to nitrogen, which can allow even the blue Kree to infiltrate human society.
• Ambiguous Situation: Guardians of the Galaxy makes a reference to a "Kree Emperor" who signed the Empire's peace treaty with the Nova Corps, while Captain Marvel, set over twenty years earlier, shows the Supreme Intelligence to be the Empire's head of state. Given the Supreme Intelligence's status as a non-corporeal A.I., the time gap between the two films, and Captain Marvel's vow to destroy the Supreme Intelligence, it's not clear if the Supreme Intelligence is the emperor in question, if the Kree underwent a regime change in the interim, or if something else entirely is going on. The Marvels (2023) eventually clarifies that Captain Marvel destroyed the Supreme Intelligence shortly after the events of Captain Marvel, kickstarting a civil war that eventually left Hala a dying world. The Kree Emperor that signed the treaty with the Nova Corps is likely the leader of one of its factions.
• Arch-Enemy: The thousand-year war they had with the Nova Empire that only just ended in 2014 has given both sides a hell of a grudge with the other, to say the least.
• Athens and Sparta: They are the Sparta to the Nova Empire's Athens.
• Badass Creed: Captain Marvel establishes they have one: "For the good of all Kree!"
• Believing Their Own Lies: The Kree truly believe their enemies, such as the Skrulls and Nova Empire to be the bad guys who want to destroy them, despite it being fabricated by the Supreme Intelligence and other high-ranking officials. Of course, Carol ended up discovering the truth.
• Beauty Is Bad: Tend to be easy on the eyes, regardless of the blue skin many of them possess. Doesn't change the fact that they're a genocidal and xenophobic race of conquerors.
• Bizarre Alien Biology: Kree physiology is much more complex than other sentient species, to where their blood can be used to revive other races with simpler physiology (such as with humans). But at the same time, they can't revive each other if their wound is lethal enough to kill them.
• Bystander Syndrome: In Guardians of the Galaxy, they refuse to aid in stopping Ronan when Nova Prime tries to ask for their help, with the Kree Ambassador pretty much stating it wasn't part of their treaty, so why should they care about what he does?
• Character Focus: While Guardians of the Galaxy and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have them as important parts of the plot/backstory, Captain Marvel is the first work in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to specifically focus on them and their culture.
• Dark Is Evil: They're an empire of imperialistic and genocidal maniacs, and have spaceships/weapons that look like they're carved from either obsidian or coal.
• Dishing Out Dirt: A thematic case, with most of their older spacecraft (such as The Dark Aster used by Ronan the Accuser) looking like they're more carved from coal rather than made in factories. Furthermore, Orbital Bombardment in the form of Colony Drops is one of their favored strategies on the battlefield.
• The Empire: They invade and conquer other planets and races to expand their own territories.
• Enemy Civil War: The Kree ended up in one in the interim since the first film (thanks to Carol killing the Supreme Intelligence and throwing Hala's government into chaos).
• Establishing Character Moment: A species-wide version is given in Guardians of the Galaxy, the head of the Nova Corps, Irani Rael aka Nova Prime, tries to get the Kree to help them deal with Ronan's rampage against her people, practically pleading with them even. However, the Kree Ambassador dismiss their concerns, stating they only agreed to the treaty and what one of their own do is not their problem before cutting her off. Her line after that pretty much sums them up perfectly.
  Irani: Prick!
• Even Evil Has Standards: If Vin-Tak is to be believed, the Kree came to believe that they were wrong to create the Inhumans. However, this ultimately may have less to do with legitimate moral qualms and more to do with the fact that the experiment ultimately blew up in their face thanks to Hive (the first Inhuman the Kree created). In fact, Vin-Tak fears the rest of the Kree might continue their experiments once again should they find out about the existence of the Inhumans.
• Evil Counterpart: To the modern Asgardians, who use their military might benevolently to keep the peace in the Nine Realms and ward off invaders. By contrast, the Kree are only interested in cruel expansion. Though given the reveal of the Asgardians' bloody history of conquest in Thor: Ragnarok, they're Mirroring Factions.
  • With the Nova Empire. The Nova Empire uses the Nova Corps to preserve peace throughout space, and are associated with the color gold, while the Kree Empire is based on ruthless conquest, and associated with black.
• Evil Virtues: They seem to value loyalty, discipline and camaraderie towards their fellow Kree. Of course, they are still very ruthless and smug towards their enemies and non-Kree in general.
• Fantastic Racism: Virtually all Kree hold other races in contempt, particularly the Xandarians and Skrulls.
• Fantasy Counterpart Culture: On the surface, the Kree seem to just be the "Aliens as Nazis" variety of Scary Dogmatic Aliens, what with their Fantastic Racism, neo-fascist policies, and aggressive military expansionism. However, both Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Captain Marvel show them to ultimately be closer to Imperial Japan, what with their fanatical belief in a God-Emperor (here in the form of the Supreme Intelligence), practicing the brutal enslavement of "lesser races", and having long-lasting family dynasties that feel suicide attacks are the only proper penance for cowardice. Even the ancient Kree experiments that eventually resulted in the creation of the Inhumans have their roots in the infamous Unit 731 atrocities.
• Galactic Superpower: Like the comics, they're one of the top dogs in the greater universe, rivaled only by the Nova Empire and (formerly) the Asgardians. By The Marvels, they’re just a shadow of their former self.
• Greater-Scope Villain: Despite being a very prominent threat to the galaxy at large, the Kree Empire doesn't play that big a role in most of its appearances in the MCU, with Captain Marvel and The Marvels being the sole exceptions thus far.
  • In Guardians of the Galaxy, the Kree Empire does little to terrorize the Nova Corps or the aforementioned Guardians directly, with only Ronan being the main threat of the film. That being said, the Empire doesn't exactly dissuade Ronan from carrying out his savage brutality despite it being in their power to do so, even when Irani Rael demands they do something about him in an international call with the Kree Ambassador. The Empire also puts out a bounty for the titular Guardians sometime during the events of Vol. 2 for their involvement in Ronan's death, though it doesn't have any direct effect on the story.
  • In Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Kree Empire as a whole has never taken part in the show's events, but the aftermath of experiments a rogue group conducted on Earth, creating the Inhumans, has a massive impact on the series, and a few individual Kree act as major antagonists.
  • HYDRA was created to worship an Inhuman directly created by the Kree, meaning that not only the Kree are Greater-Scope Villains for HYDRA and so the Captain America franchise and a good portion of the MCU in general, but since every villain of the first three seasons of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and many other villains of other seasons are either HYDRA's members or allies, Inhumans or Inhumans hater (Nadeer, the Watchdogs) meaning that most of the bad things that happen in the series are in some way consequence of the Kree's actions. Going even more in-depth, Ratcliffe and Aida wouldn't be so much a treat if they are not allied with the Watchdogs, and Radcliffe join Shield only after the events with Hive, meaning that he wouldn't create Aida in the first place if he had not existed, Talbot becomes Graviton only because of Hydra's and Kree's actions, Sarge gains a body thanks to the energy of the Monoliths that was released by the explosion of a Kree device, leading to Izel's decision to gain herself a body and start her plan, destroying in the process the Chromicon's planet and leading them on their villainous path; that leaves Eli Morrow and Lucy Bauer as the only major villains of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. that are not related with the Kree in the first place.
• Green-Skinned Space Babe: Subverted, as, despite their blue skin and most of them looking attractive on the surface, their neo-fascism just makes them come across as hideous to everyone else.
• Hated by All: Being a racist, imperialistic race of aliens that strive to conquer most of the galaxy, it's no wonder that the rest of the galaxy despises them. In particular, Xandarians, humans, Skrulls, and Asgardians alike have expressed fear and/or hatred towards the Kree Empire over the course of the MCU.
• Healing Factor: They have this advantage in comparison to ordinary humans.
• How the Mighty Have Fallen: As a result of a decades long civil war after the destruction of the Supreme Intelligence, by the mid-2020s their empire and civilization is in ruins, their homeworld is dying and even their sun is going out.
• Laser-Guided Karma: After ages of conquering and subjugating other races, the Kree destroyed their own world in a civil war that erupted after the Supreme Intelligence was destroyed.
• Last Stand: As the Kree consider retreat to be tantamount to dereliction of duty, a Kree warrior that is about to be overrun is expected to make a Last Stand and "die with honor". Some noble lines use a Psycho Serum known as "the Odium", a concoction that will drive the drinker into a berserk fury but will ultimately kill them either way.
• Loophole Abuse: In 2014, the Kree Empire signed a peace treaty with the Nova Corps, which dictated that the Kree shall not deploy any military forces to attack or harm Xandar. However, the Kree Ambassador refuses to do anything about Ronan the Accuser's rogue attacks on Xandarian civilians, as he notes that a lone Defector from Decadence like him doesn't represent the Kree as a whole, and so doesn't count as an attack from them.
• Mad Scientist: A rogue faction of the Kree once experimented on alien races to make an army of super-beings who could assist them in their wars. Most of these were failures, but the experiments on Earth were successful, leading to the Inhumans.
• Misplaced Retribution: The Kree place the whole of the blame for the collapse of their empire and Hala becoming a dying planet entirely on Carol for killing the Supreme Intelligence, conveniently ignoring the fact that all of the actual damage was caused by the Kree themselves when they fought each other in a decades long civil war.
• Moral Myopia: The Kree's overall credo ("Kreedo", if you will) is "For the good of all Kree". What they consider "the good of all Kree" tends to come at the expense of other races, such as the Skrulls.
• A Nazi by Any Other Name: They are a fascist empire that see themselves as the supreme species, commit genocide on those they deem lesser, and lie to their people through constant propaganda. Sound familiar? Hell, the center part of their empire's symbol has enough similarities to be noticeable to a swastika!
• Never My Fault: The Kree place the entire blame for the state of their homeworld and civilization squarely on Carol, even though, by their own telling of the events, all she did to them was kill the Supreme Intelligence. The notion that they might bear some of the responsibility for fighting each other for 30 years in a civil war and destroying their own world doesn’t appear to even cross their minds.
• Planet Looters: The Kree exhausted the resources of their homeworld during the civil war, leaving it with no oceans, minimal atmosphere, and a dying star. Dar-Benn intends to use her bangle to open wormholes and siphon replacements from other planets.
• Proud Warrior Race Guy: The Kree are a very militarized species. In Guardians of the Galaxy, signing a peace treaty with Xandar caused massive discontent within the Kree Empire. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. further establishes that the Kree consider retreat to be the same as abandoning their posts, with Kasius and Sinara exiled for fleeing a losing battle.
• Rubber-Forehead Aliens: Most of them look virtually identical to humans, with the exception of primarily blue skin (though it can actually vary depending on the individual), purple eyes, and pointed ears.
• Scary Dogmatic Aliens: Of the Aliens As Nazis variety with some sprinkles of Imperial Japan. Their main symbol even resembles a swastika for extra points of subtlety.
• Slave Mooks: The Kree use "battle slaves" to supplement the ranks of their forces. Yondu was one such for 20 years.
• Slave Race: The Sakaarans are a client race of the Kree. The Inhumans would have been this, but they had other ideas. In the alternate Bad Future established by Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., it's indicated that the Kree enslaved humanity.
• The Spartan Way: They prefer not to let emotions get in the way of their military discipline.
• Star Killing: The Kree somehow drained their local star of its energy during their civil war, leaving it on the brink of its red giant phase. Dar-Benn intends to siphon off Earth's sun to refuel it. After that plan is foiled, Captain Marvel flies through their star and uses her energy to restore it.
• Strong as They Need to Be: In the films and the first three seasons of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., they have Asgardian levels of strength and durability. In later seasons of the show, however, they are about as vulnerable to conventional weapons as any ordinary human.
• Super-Strength: Enough for them to go toe-to-toe with Asgardians like Lady Sif.
• Super-Toughness: To the point where some can hold Infinity Stones for a limited period of time!
• Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: The Kree was a civilization that became dependent on an AI for over a millennium to make all of its political and military decisions. So when Carol destroyed the Supreme Intelligence shortly after the events of Captain Marvel (2019), Kree Empire descended into chaos and civil war in a short peroid of time.
• Villain Has a Point: For better or worse, Secret Invasion shows that the Kree's stereotype of the Skrulls being ruthless infiltrators who will try to conquer entire species using their shapeshifting abilities isn't entirely off the mark, as Gravik and his forces end up attempting to create a nuclear holocaust out of resentment for humanity.
• Villainous Legacy: The Kree's actions have left a major impact on the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Not only are they responsible for the creation of the Inhumans, but also the cult that would one day form HYDRA, as well as the war with the Nova Corps and the Skrulls, leaving them responsible for much of the conflicts in the Captain America films, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Guardians of the Galaxy, and Captain Marvel. Not even Thanos has had this much influence on the MCU's background, although their later actions were because of Thanos arriving, and they wanted to make the most of things before Thanos wiped half of them out.
• Villainous Valor: As mentioned in Last Stand above, they tend to choose to go down fighting even when outmatched.
• Won the War, Lost the Peace: While the Kree Empire signed a peace treaty ending their thousand-year war with the Nova Corps, it was massively unpopular among the Kree people, inciting protests and riots. It's implied that the Kree government's refusal to deal with Ronan is because they either don't want to further alienate their people, or they actually agree with him continuing the war on his own. The latter is more likely, as it's mentioned in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 that, after the events of the previous movie (Ronan's death at the hands of the Guardians), elements of the Kree Empire placed a bounty on the Guardians and Yondu. Then again, Captain Marvel shows a good number of regular Kree don't like him, even if they harbor lingering hostility towards the Nova Empire. Eventually The Marvels (2023) revealed that by the time Guardians of the Galaxy the Kree Empire had been in the midst of active civil war for decades as a result of the loss of the Supreme Intelligence, so the riots that resulted from the Kree-Nova Treaty probably escalated said civil war to the point that it collapsed the Empire.
• Written by the Winners: Popular belief amongst the Kree is that they are "noble warrior heroes" who fought against Skrull terrorists who threaten the galaxy with their shapeshifting abilities. The truth, however, is that they were the actual aggressors and committed genocide on the Skrull homeworld simply because they were stronger and better armed than them.
• You Can't Go Home Again: By the events of The Marvels, Hala became a dying world from the devastation unleashed by the Kree Civil War

The ruler of the Kree Empire, an artificial intelligence constructed from the minds of the greatest Kree.

---

• Adaptational Attractiveness: In the mainstream comics, the Supreme Intelligence is a gigantic, floating, obese green potato head with countless tentacles coming out the top. In Captain Marvel, the Supreme Intelligence takes the form of whomever the individual they're speaking to respects and admires the most. To Carol, they're an older seemingly human woman (whom she later learns to be Mar-Vell), whereas Yon-Rogg sees the Supreme Intelligence as himself. Though their true appearance is not shown, the tentacle-like appendages they use to communicate with others may be a nod to their original design. A brief flashback in The Marvels does show them in their comics form, but it is very brief.
• A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The Supreme Intelligence is imperialist, genocidal, and malevolent, in their quest for the merciless expansion of the Kree Empire.
• Alien Arts Are Appreciated: Despite the Kree Empire's xenophobia and racism, the Supreme Intelligence takes a liking to the Nirvana song "Come As You Are", which they find in Carol's subconscious, even dancing to it for a moment.
• Bad Boss: In a deleted scene, they abuse, threaten, belittle, and mock Yon-Rogg for his failures. In the film proper, they try to psychologically torture Carol with memories of her past failures so she would pass the Despair Event Horizon and return to assisting the Kree.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Before The Reveal, they present themselves as a wise leader who encourages Carol to serve the Kree Empire with honor and dilligence. Eventually, the façade falls away and they're shown to be a ruthless and genocidal maniac.
• Brain Uploading: As noted above, they're created from the minds of the greatest Kree in history.
• Climax Boss: Given how utterly overpowered Carol is, overcoming the Intelligence's control serves as her greatest obstacle before the climax (consisting of her easily Curb-Stomping both Starforce and Ronan's Accusers) can properly begin.
• Dark Is Evil: Frequently associated with darker colors and tones, and has their headquarters on Hala located in what looks like a massive obsidian chapel, though their physical appearance (ironically) tends to have bright green eyes and white hair no matter who sees them, contrasting the darkness.
• Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: While interfacing with Carol, the Supreme Intelligence assumes the appearance of Mar-Vell, a kindly and benevolent figure whose gentle demeanor is retained by the imperialist and genocidal Supreme Intelligence. This is in contrast with their appearance as Yon-Rogg, where they come off looking more sinister than benevolent.
• Fantastic Racism: Shows nothing but utter contempt for the Skrulls, and their war against them has the ultimate goal of them being completely exterminated down to the very last child. They also don't have a high opinion on humanity either, dismissively stating that Carol was "nothing" before the Kree augmented her with their blood, and they were perfectly fine with having Ronan subject the Earth to an Orbital Bombardment in order to wipe out a comparative handful of Skrulls in the bargain. It's implied they also held the same contempt towards Xandarians as well.
• Faux Affably Evil: They're very civil with Carol, and are even downright jovial when describing their planned implementation of a Final Solution against the Skrulls. In dealing with Yon-Rogg, it's much more direct, cruelly mocking and berating him.
• Foil: To Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers herself. First and foremost, their personalities are very contrasting — Carol has a rather brusque demeanor belying a softer & selfless side, while the Supreme Intelligence has a more outwardly matronly and friendly personality that hides the mind(s) of a genocidal lunatic. Furthermore, Carol treats her colleagues with respect and friendship while the Supreme Intelligence is a Bad Boss that utilized Gaslighting to keep Carol in line. Carol also eventually learns to look past her initial prejudices and performs a Heel–Face Turn to save the innocent Skrulls while the Supreme Intelligence is an imperialistic maniac that never lets go of their Fantastic Racism towards the shapeshifters. Additionally, Carol started out within the Kree just as an ordinary soldier while the Supreme Intelligence is the Kree Empire's God-Emperor. Even their powers are appropriately different — Carol has powerful Light 'em Up abilities that make her a beast on the battlefield, while the Supreme Intelligence is a Physical God powers only within the bleak and dark Mental World it inhabits.
• A Form You Are Comfortable With: No one has ever seen the true appearance of the Supreme Intelligence. Instead, it takes a form similar to a person that the person trying to connect with it admires most. When "Vers" sees an image of Mar-Vell — who the Supreme Intelligence is assuming the form of — when the Skrulls explore her memories, this ends up driving her to find out the truth of her past life as Carol Danvers.
• Gaslighting: How they've been successfully manipulating Carol Danvers for roughly six years in the war against the Skrulls.
• God-Emperor: The Supreme Intelligence is the Kree Empire's ruler, and interfacing with it is considered a deeply personal, almost religious experience for the Kree. Its non-corporeal form and subjective appearance emphasize the near-divine status the A.I. holds among its subjects, as does the fact that its headquarters on Hala seems designed to resemble a chapel.
• Greater-Scope Villain: While more prominent than the likes of Thanos in The Avengers, the Intelligence only appears in about two scenes in Captain Marvel and remains relatively uninvolved with the hunt for the Skrulls, only briefly intervening near the end to try to rein Carol back under Kree control. As such, most of the legwork is done by Yon-Rogg and Ronan, the former of whom Carol gains far greater enmity for due to his role in kidnapping her.
• Hate Sink: Their Fantastic Racism towards the Skrulls upon learning that the Skrulls are just innocent War Refugees along with how it gaslights Carol into perpetuating genocide makes them utterly loathsome.
• Hive Mind/Mind Hive: A weird amalgamation of the two. Despite being the amalgamation of countless different Kree minds, the Supreme Intelligence only seems to have one overall personality.
• Mechanical Abomination: A super-intelligent A.I. made from the brightest Kree minds there have ever been, and assumes the appearance of someone whom a certain person holds in great esteem. Among the Kree, meeting the Supreme Intelligence is a quasi-religious experience, and they have god-like control over the Mental World accessed whenever anyone needs to communicate with them. The mechanical tentacles used to communicate with them (and which also lets them brutally Mind Rape anyone who tries to disobey the Empire) also gives them a distinctly eldritch flavor.
• Mind Rape: What they attempt to do to Carol after The Reveal by showing her memories of her past failures and telling her that without the Kree, she is "only human". This backfires spectacularly as it only reminds Carol that she has always been a Determinator, and she proceeds to overload the Restraining Bolt they put on her.
• Mythology Gag: The metallic tentacles they utilize to communicate with their subjects are likely an allusion to the Supreme Intelligence's Combat Tentacles that were part of their true form in the original comics.
• Non-Action Big Bad: The Supreme Intelligence is an A.I. construct, not a warrior. While it can do some harm to those whose minds it interfaces with, in a physical sense, it's all but useless. The Marvels shows that when Carol came to destroy it, the Supreme Intelligence could do nothing to even try and stop her.
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: They try to excuse their Final Solution against the Skrulls to Carol by framing them as "terrorists" in the Kree Empire's border territories, but it falls flat when Carol reminds them that the Skrulls have been reduced to desperate refugees by the Kree's heartless expansion efforts and are just trying to survive.
• Oh, Crap!: They start to visibly panic when Carol uses her Heroic Willpower to break free of their torture methods. In particular, their jaw practically hits the floor when a smirking Carol literally snaps off the Restraining Bolt placed on her neck after powering up.
• Playing the Victim Card: The Supreme Intelligence justifies the Kree's continued aggression against the Skrulls by claiming that they are insidious infiltrators who seize control of planets and are an existential threat to Kree society. The reality is that the Kree won their war with the Skrulls, and the Supreme Intelligence only makes such claims to excuse what has become an attempted genocide against a diaspora of desperate refugees.
• Posthumous Character: By the time of The Marvels, the Supreme Intelligence is long dead at Carol's hands, though it's absence has a major impact on the story; the sudden loss of their ruler quickly drove the Kree to a civil war that broke their empire and ravaged Hala to the point of no return, leading to Dar-Benn's plans in the movie's present day.
• Uncertain Doom: Its fate after the events of Captain Marvel remained a mystery for years, as that film was set in 1995, but by the time of the events of Guardians of the Galaxy, set in 2014 the Kree are led by an Emperor. Eventually The Marvels (2023) revealed that shortly after the events of Captain Marvel, Carol made good on her promise and destroyed the Supreme Intelliegence, plunging the Kree Empire into civil war.
• The Un-Reveal: The true form of the Supreme Intelligence has not been revealed yet, but here◊ in a deleted scene's concept art, Carol Danvers was going to face them. Their true form was going to be very faithful to the comics, portraying them as a huge, floating green head with multiple eyes and tentacles emerging from their top.
• White Hair, Black Heart: Their avatars as Mar-Vell and Yon-Rogg both have silver hair, and it's a genocidal Kree A.I..
• Would Be Rude to Say "Genocide": Dismisses the Skrulls as simply insidious shapeshifters that cannot be allowed to live lest they threaten the Kree Empire. In actuality, the only reason they're still pursuing the Skrulls is that they won't submit to them, something the Supreme Intelligence is fully aware of.
• You Cannot Grasp the True Form: Everyone who sees the Supreme Intelligence sees them as the person they admire most. Carol sees them as an older woman (who later turns out to be a silver-haired version of Mar-Vell, who was both her mentor in the United States Air Force and the person who wanted to protect the Skrulls from the Kree Empire). Yon-Rogg, however, sees the Supreme Intelligence as himself.

From the left: Korath, At-Lass, Carol Danvers, Bron-Char, and Minn-Erva. Not Pictured: Yon-Rogg, their commander.

Appearances: Captain Marvel

A Kree military squadron, and Carol's colleagues.

---

• Adaptational Wimp: In the comics, Starforce is a group of super-powered individuals across the Kree Empire who serve as the Supreme Intelligence's Praetorian Guard. In the movies, with the exception of Carol, all of them are simply Badass Normals. This means that once she unlocks her Super Mode, Carol quickly wipes the floor with all of them.
• Space Marine: A team of space soldiers from an intergalactic empire.
• Villainous Friendship: They're generally pretty chummy with one another, trading jokes before a mission. Bron-Char even calls Korath handsome.
• Villainous Valor: Even though they're clearly outmatched, Starforce continues to fight against a fully-powered Carol to the best of their ability.

Yon-Rogg

Species: Kree

Portrayed By: Jude Law

Voiced By: Luis Daniel Ramírez (Latín American Spanish dub), Toshiyuki Morikawa (Japanese dub), Jean-Pierre Michaël (European French dub), Martin Watier (Canadian French dub)

Appearances: Captain Marvel

A Kree commander and leader of the Starforce.

---

• Adaptational Dye-Job: He has auburn hair and blue eyes in the comics but instead has brown hair and yellow eyes in here.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: The Yon-Rogg of the original Captain Marvel comics was a particularly persistent, even obsessive foe of both Mar-Vell and Carol Danvers who started out as Mar-Vell's commanding officer and was later thrilled at any chance to cause him, or Carol, any harm. Here, we see him as a pleasant, tough-but-patient mentor who wants Carol to "be the best version of herself". And then it turns out, while not quite as evil as the original, he really is her ultimate antagonist, as the one who caused Mar-Vell's death, Carol's amnesia, her abduction, and manipulation by the Kree, so he was less a mentor and more of a kidnapper and handler.
• Affably Evil: While he is an agent of the imperialist, fascistic, and genocidal Kree Empire, Yon-Rogg is not without a certain military courtesy, and he even tells Carol that he's proud of her following her victory over Ronan's attack force. His Manipulative Bastard tendencies and Lima Syndrome towards Carol blurs the line between this trope and Faux Affably Evil where she's concerned, however.
• Big Bad: While he serves the Supreme Intelligence, he is the main threat throughout the film and the one who started the conflict by killing Mar-Vell.
• Big Bad Friend: While initially presented as Carol’s mentor, Yon-Rogg is revealed to have killed her actual mentor Mar-Vell, kidnapped her to use as a weapon for the Kree, and serves as The Heavy to the Supreme Intelligence.
• Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Appears as The Mentor for Carol, but is really an Evil Mentor.
• Broken Pedestal: While the Kree as a whole are this to Carol once she finds out their true colors, as her mentor, Yon-Rogg becomes the biggest one to her. It doesn't help that he was responsible for killing her actual mentor and friend, Mar-Vell.
• Co-Dragons: Is effectively the second-in-command to the Supreme Intelligence as far as Carol Danvers is concerned, and a lot more active than it — though Ronan, as the leader of the Accusers, is also in a high position of power.
• Commanding Coolness: He holds the rank of Starforce Commander and is the most skilled fighter among them.
• Composite Character: With Nitro, given he's Mar-Vell's killer.
  • His personality is more in line with the original comics Ronan the Accuser as a officer doing his job as opposed to the Card-Carrying Villain of the source material.
• The Corrupter: A deleted scene shows him educating Kree children with anti-Skrull propaganda.
• Cruel Mercy: Carol spared him to deliver a message from her to his people and to send him back in disgrace.
• Curb-Stomp Battle: Rogg thinks he can challenge Carol to a final battle with just hand-to-hand combat, taunting her and goading her to lower herself down to his level to "prove" herself. Carol just blasts him away and then drags him off to a ship. Prior to her awakening her full power, however, he was delivering these to her, though only in physical combat. He was always outmatched when she used her photon blasts.
• Decoy Protagonist: At first he seems to be set up as a Tritagonist to Carol's The Protagonist and Nick's Deuteragonist, but he's really the Big Bad, while Talos is the true Tritagonist.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Downplayed:
  • Carol mentions Yon-Rogg's brother and father while asking who he sees when he interfaces with the Supreme Intelligence, but neither of them show up in the movie, nor are they mentioned by Yon-Rogg himself.
  • Yon-Rogg clearly feels something for "Vers", but the affection he shows her is undermined by his endless gaslighting and the fact that he stole her from her home and family.
• Expy: Not him, but his weapon; it can lift and drop objects from afar using cosmic energy, not dissimilar to the Gravity Gun from Half-Life.
• Final Boss: Subverted. He and Carol seem like they'll have a climactic final duel, but his attempt to fight honorably in a Call-Back to the beginning of the movie leads to Carol easily blasting him off his feet.
• Foil:
  • To Mar-Vell. Mar-Vell is Carol's mentor, Yon-Rogg is her Evil Mentor, and unlike Mar-Vell, who was a scientist willing to betray the Empire to do the right thing, Yon-Rogg is a soldier and staunch nationalist. Their attitudes towards Carol also contrast; the former was friendly and encouraging, earning Carol's admiration, while Yon-Rogg is stern and tries to force her into the model of a Kree soldier.
  • To Ronan. Both are high-ranking officers in the Kree military, willing to go to extremes for the Empire, but they differ strongly in personality, methods, and ideology. Yon-Rogg is a specialist leading an elite team that performs surgical strikes and extraction missions in enemy territory, while Ronan and the Accusers he commands have one solution to any given problem. Yon-Rogg is personable, shows concern for his fellow Kree, and is very loyal to the Empire, whereas Ronan is a callous jerkass who is fine with his erstwhile allies being caught in the crossfire, and eventually betrays the Empire when they make a decision he disagrees with. Their attitudes towards their duties contrast as well: Yon-Rogg believes in My Country, Right or Wrong (in his eyes, the Kree Empire is righteous, and any action taken on its behalf is morally defensible), while Ronan is a Sociopathic Soldier who couldn't care less if his actions are right or wrong. The many contrasts in their personalities mean that, despite working together, Yon-Rogg and Ronan don't particularly like one another.
• Godzilla Threshold: Initially refuses to get the Accusers involved while they recover Vers because they only know how to nuke things from orbit. Then he realizes that Carol is reclaiming who she was and immediately calls Ronan.
• The Heavy: While the main villain of Captain Marvel, he's in service to the Supreme Intelligence.
• Human Aliens: Though it's never brought up in the film, he belongs to a sub-set of the Kree race known in the comics as "Pink Kree" because they have a pinkish skin tone that makes them resemble Caucasian humans rather than the typical blue skin that most of his people have, though his yellow eyes throw off the illusion.
• Hypocrite:
  • Despite trying to drill the mentality of an emotionless soldier into Carol, Yon-Rogg's own emotions get the better of him at least twice: he killed Mar-Vell instead of retrieving her as ordered, and he lied to Ronan to save Carol's life, which ended up giving her the time to learn the truth about her identity.
  • Yon-Rogg insists that Carol needs to learn to beat him without using her powers, yet when push comes to shove, Yon-Rogg has no problem using his own advantages (numbers and technology) to get the better of her.
• Insane Troll Logic: Invoked; by the climax, Yon-Rogg is completely outclassed by a now empowered Carol Danvers, with no hopes to win. He tries to bait her into fighting him without her powers since that would be the only advantage he'd arguably still have. By this point in the story, however, Carol has no interest in "earning" Yon-Rogg's approval and promptly knocks him flat on his ass with another blast.
• It's Personal with the Dragon: As Carol's Evil Mentor, the one who brought her to Hala, and the one who killed her actual mentor, Mar-Vell, Yon-Rogg is a much more personal enemy to Carol than the Supreme Intelligence.
• Knight Templar: Yon-Rogg is a true believer in the righteousness of the Kree, even at the expense of the innocent. He's also happy to exploit others for the Empire's benefit, as seen with Carol.
• Know When to Fold 'Em: When his last tactic (painfully) fails, Yon-Rogg wisely gives up and doesn't resist Carol dragging him back to his ship.
• Let's Fight Like Gentlemen: In the final showdown, Yon-Rogg sheathes his weapons and challenges Carol to single combat; no weapons, no powers. Carol doesn't bite, instead photon-blasting Yon-Rogg into a nearby rock face.
• Lima Syndrome: Despite abducting Carol and turning her into an attack dog for the Kree, Yon-Rogg does seem to have some affection for her, donating his own blood to save her life after taking her back to Hala, preventing Ronan from attacking Earth while Carol is on it, and expressing pride in her abilities in their final confrontation.
• A Lighter Shade of Black: Compared to Ronan The Accuser. Yon-Rogg strongly believes in camaraderie and refuses to abandon a fellow soldier, Carol included, even saving her life when she crash landed. Ronan on the other hand, is a genocidal bastard who treats him and all his other Kree subordinates like shit, and doesn't flinch at mass killings at the Kree's enemies that he doesn't give a damn if even loyal Kree become collateral.
• Loving a Shadow: It's made clear that Yon-Rogg has more affection for Carol than he lets on, but it's implied that his fondness is reserved mostly for "Vers", the Kree soldier he convinced Carol that she was, not the person that Carol truly is. Case in point, he's generally nurturing (by Kree standards) to "Vers", but sneers in derision when Carol breaks from that mold, only showing the real Carol respect to try and goad her into a fight Yon-Rogg thinks he can win.
• Made of Iron: While she wasn't trying to kill or seriously injure him, Yon-Rogg is in pretty good shape after being blasted into a rock face by Carol.
• Manipulative Bastard: While there is some genuine affection for her in the mix, Yon-Rogg's mentorship of "Vers" has him gaslighting her to keep her as a loyal soldier for the Kree. When he knows he's outgunned, he falls back on old tricks, trying to play on her need to prove herself by challenging her to a fistfight, hoping to engage her in a fight he stands a chance of winning. Wise to his mind games, and no longer caring about his approval, Carol responds by photon-blasting him into a nearby rock face.
• The Mentor: To Carol Danvers. The film opens with him training her and giving her advice. He's actually an Evil Mentor.
• Narcissist: Implied. Supreme Intelligence takes a form similar to a person that the person trying to connect with it admires most. A scene cut from the movie revealed that Yon-Rogg sees himself when he communes with the Supreme Intelligence. His general treatment of Carol is a further hint to Yon-Rogg's narcissism; he shows her approval and affection as long as she sticks to the role he wants her in, but forces her to fight for that approval on Yon-Rogg's own terms. His gambit in the finale is also predicated on the ludicrous notion that, with the truth revealed and her full power unleashed, Carol would still care about his approval enough to fight him hand-to-hand instead of just crushing him with her powers.
  Yon-Rogg: [referring to Carol] I have no feelings for her.
  Supreme Intelligence: Yes, we both know your admiration is mostly reserved for yourself.
• Pet the Dog: He seems to have a genuine soft spot for Carol. Not only did he bring her back to Hala even after she destroyed the engine he was after, but Yon-Rogg donated some of his own blood to save her life, serves as her mentor in Starforce, and lies to Ronan to avoid the Accuser devastating Earth while she's on the planet. Unfortunately, this goes out the window when Carol remembers who she originally was, at which point he calls in Ronan. And even then he waited until he thought she was either dead, taken by the Skrulls, or a traitor.
• Shut Up, Hannibal!: On the receiving end of this trope when he tries to coax Carol into a no-powers sparring match. She blasts him across the canyon, clearly sick of his mind games.
  Carol: I have nothing to prove to you.
• So Proud of You: Even knowing how screwed he would be to go up against Carol Danvers with her powers unleashed, he's impressed with her growth as a soldier all the same.
• Straw Vulcan: Frequently rebukes Carol for bringing her emotions into battle; promptly proven wrong by the end of the film.
• Trigger-Happy: A deleted scene reveals that Yon-Rogg was actually assigned to recapture Mar-Vell, but he killed her instead.
• Worthy Opponent: If telling Carol So Proud of You is any indication.
• Would Hit a Girl: Yon-Rogg doesn't hold back his punches when training with Carol, and frequently wipes the floor with her during their sessions.

Vers

Minn-Erva

Minn-Erva

Species: Kree

Portrayed By: Gemma Chan

Voiced By: Lourdes Arruti (Latin American Spanish dub), Yōko Hikasa (Japanese dub)

Appearances: Captain Marvel

A Kree Sniper, and member of Starforce. She was previously The Ace of the team, who has been overshadowed by Carol.

---

• The Ace: A gifted marksman, Minn-Erva serves as the sniper for her Star Force unit, and was the star player before Carol arrived.
• Adaptational Wimp: Although she may seem much more skilled and powerful as a sniper in the movie than the Kree doctor she was in the comics, she ultimately is this, since her comics equivalent eventually gained Carol Danvers' powerset, making her much stronger in the source material.
• Always Someone Better: She used to be a highly regarded member of Star Force, but she feels threatened by Carol, who is similarly skilled.
• Cold Sniper: Her Establishing Character Moment has her preparing to shoot unarmed (albeit angry) refugees. She has no problem trying to do it again later in the movie.
• Domino Mask: She only wears them when she's sniping.
• The Dragon: To Yon-Rogg.
• Fantastic Racism: She has a very low opinion of Terrans, dismissively referring to Earth as "a real shithole".
• Green-Skinned Space Babe: She's a blue-skinned Kree woman who is also pretty attractive.
• Jerkass: Generally smug and callous, expressing a low opinion of Carol, and cracking a smirk as she prepares to shoot down innocent refugees.
  Carol: You knew [about my true past] this whole time... is that why we never hung out?
  Minn-Erva: No... I just never liked you.
• Psychotic Smirk: She cracks a smirk as she prepares to shoot down the Quadjet, which is full of innocent Skrull refugees.
• Punny Name: Her name is a play on Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom and strategic warfare.
• Secret-Keeper: Unlike the rest of Starforce (who seem to assume that Carol's Heel–Face Turn is due to brainwashing), Minn-Erva was always aware of Carol's true nature and origins, having been present when Yon-Rogg abducted her.

Att-Lass

Att-Lass

Species: Kree

Portrayed By: Algenis Perez Soto

Voiced By: Alberto Bernal (Latin American Spanish), Satoshi Hino (Japanese)

Appearances: Captain Marvel

A member of Starforce, alongside Carol Danvers.

---

• Don't Make Me Destroy You: Att-Lass at one point manages to pin Carol down with a gun to her face and pulls this card. Turns out it wasn't as advantageous a position as he thought.
• Guns Akimbo: Seemingly his weapon of choice.
• Punch-Clock Villain: Unlike Yon-Rogg (a devoted nationalist), Minn-Erva (a smug sadist), or Korath (a future extremist), Att-Lass is just doing his job, even trying to get Carol to stand down when he thinks (emphasis on thinks) he has her dead to rights.
• Punny Name: His name is a play on Atlas, a reference to Atlas Comics, which was Marvel Comics' name in the '50s. It is also a play upon "Atlas", the Titan who holds up the sky in Greek and Roman mythology, giving him a similarly derived name as that of Minn-Erva, whom he was directly partnered with in the comics.

Bron-Char

Bron-Char

Species: Kree

Portrayed By: Rune Temte

Voiced By: Erick Selim (Latín American Spanish dub), Hiroki Yasumoto (Japanese dub)

Appearances: Captain Marvel

A member of Starforce, alongside Carol Danvers.

---

• Ambiguously Gay: He considers Korath "objectively" handsome.
• The Brute: He is the heaviest set member on the team. As the fight aboard Mar-Vell's ship turns chaotic, he opts for picking up an arcade cabinet and swinging it at Carol.
• Calling Your Attacks: He tends to be fairly reserved, but when he goes all-out against Carol, he really lets lose his inner Screaming Warrior, shouting "INCOOOOOMIIIIING!!" at the top of his lungs as he charges at her.

Korath the Pursuer

Korath the Pursuer

"Who?"

^{Click here to see him in Captain Marvel}

Species: Kree (cybernetically enhanced)

Citizenship: Kree Imperial

Affiliation(s): Kree Empire (formerly), Starforce (formerly), Thanos (formerly), Ronan

Portrayed By: Djimon Hounsou

Voiced By: Salvador Reyes (Latin-American Spanish dub), Iñaki Crespo (European Spanish dub), Kenji Nomura (Japanese dub)

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy | Captain Marvel

A former member of the Kree Starforce who became an officer under Ronan.

---

• Are These Wires Important?: Drax kills him by ripping out wires that ran along the side of his head.
• Bald of Evil: A bald Kree fanatic.
• Beard of Evil: A graying goatee to compliment the evil baldness.
• BFG: Wields a pretty massive rifle while trying to retrieve the Orb early in the film. A shot from it is powerful enough to blow a hole clear through a temple wall.
• The Brute: Serves as Ronan's main muscle and ultimately comes to blows with Drax.
• Co-Dragons: With Nebula, to Ronan. Of the two, Korath is far more loyal, but gets less screentime.
• The Comically Serious:
  • In Captain Marvel, Korath responds to the rest of Starforce joking around by claiming that he laughs "on the inside". With a perfectly straight face and no semblance of humor.
  • He's initially the only one who takes Peter Quill's self-appointed name of "Star-Lord" seriously.
• Creepy Blue Eyes: They seem to be a racial trait for the Kree.
• Cyborg: Has a couple of cybernetic implants protruding from his head. He didn't have the implants while he was still an agent of the Kree Empire.
• Dies Wide Open: After Drax rips his implants out, Korath falls to the ground, eyes still wide open.
• Dual Wielding: During his time with Starforce, Korath wielded two swords.
• Even Evil Has Standards: Korath balks at Ronan's insistence on challenging Thanos out of fear of the Mad Titan.
• Evil Sounds Deep: Not as much as Ronan, but still pretty deep.
• Evil Wears Black: Like all of Ronan's crew, Korath wears black.
• Former Regime Personnel: He was a member of Starforce, but at some point broke away from the official command structure of the Kree Empire to follow Ronan.
• Human Aliens: Korath belongs to a subset of the Kree, having a human-like skin tone (black, in Korath's case) instead of blue skin like Ronan.
• Lightning Bruiser: He's strong enough to fight Drax on equal terms, and fast enough to catch up to Quill on foot when Quill had rocketed away to safety using his jet boots after shrugging off a double blast to the chest from Star-Lord's quad-blasters.
• Noodle Incident: Prior to Captain Marvel, Korath encountered a Skrull who simmed his appearance, an encounter he found deeply disturbing.
• Race Lift: Is black rather than blue.
• Rogue Agent: Like Ronan, Korath was a member of the Kree military before deserting to join the Accuser in his genocidal crusade.
• Scary Black Man: Or rather, a Scary Black Kree.
• Super-Strength: Strong enough punch through walls and get into a fistfight with Drax.
• Super-Toughness: Able to jump off from buildings to the ground, shrugg off blasts from Quill's guns that punch holes in the Sakaaran soldiers serving him, and remain conscious despite impacting a rock wall hard enough to crater it.
• Took a Level in Jerkass: By the time of Guardians of the Galaxy. In Captain Marvel, he's more of The Stoic and less brutish.
• Undying Loyalty: Implied; he's one of the few actual Kree among Ronan's crew, and refers to the Accuser as "master".
• What Happened to the Mouse?: The 2014 versions of Korath and Ronan notably don't appear among the rest of Thanos's forces at the end of Endgame, making it unclear what happened to them.
• Worthy Opponent: Implied; Korath is the first character to refer to Quill as "Star-Lord" unironically. Quill is pleasantly surprised.

The Accusers

In General

The Accusers

Appearances: Captain Marvel | The Marvels

A group of military police and bombers in the Kree Empire.

---

• Death from Above: The Accusers are called upon whenever orbital carpet-bombing is needed by the Kree Starforce, and unleash warheads on planets to eliminate any threats on the planet's surface.
• Evil Wears Black: They wear black armored uniforms.
• Interservice Rivalry: They don't really get along with the Starforce, as Ronan wastes no time pinning the blame for the failure of the Torfa mission on Yon-Rogg's team, while Yon-Rogg has nothing but open contempt for the Accusers' habit of solving every problem with Orbital Bombardment.
• Judge, Jury, and Executioner: They have the authority to judge and execute individuals, or even entire planets, that are considered a threat to the empire. They are kind of like the Judges from Judge Dredd or the Inquisition from Warhammer 40,000.
• Orbital Bombardment: Their MO is to nuke everything from orbit and call it a day.
• State Sec: Like in the comics, they are the military police of the Kree empire.
• There Is No Kill Like Overkill: The Accusers are all about this trope, as their predilection for solving every problem by liberal use of Orbital Bombardment clearly shows. They don't care about the collateral damage, either.

Ronan

Dar-Benn

Supremor Dar-Benn

Species: Kree

Portrayed By: Zawe Ashton

Appearances: The Marvels

An Accuser and former Starforce member with a personal vendetta against Carol Danvers.

---

• Ambiguous Situation: Dar-Benn is leading the Kree (or at least a sizable faction of them) by the mid-2020s, but it's unclear when she took power, and whether or not she could be the unnamed "Kree Emperor" who sanctioned the Kree's treaty with the Nova Empire, or if said Emperor was overthrown by her after Guardians of The Galaxy.
• Baritone of Strength: Dar-Benn has a very low voice, and is a powerful and ruthless villainess.
• Big Bad: She is the main threat throughout the film and the one who caused Carol, Kamala, and Monica's predicament by tangling their powers with the Quantum Bands.
• Carry a Big Stick: She wields a Universal Weapon, like Ronan, using its power to charge up the Quantum Band so she can open jump points. She's also able to redirect any energy she's absorbed into it, augmenting the power of its strikes.
• Contrasting Sequel Antagonist: To Yon-Rogg and Ronan, all three being high-ranking Kree officers who are committed to extreme measures for their homeworld.
  • Dar-Benn and Yon-Rogg both serve as Carol Danvers' personal nemesis. But the reasons are reversed: Yon-Rogg took Carol from her home and brainwashed her into being a Kree soldier, while Dar-Benn lost her home when Carol's actions caused the Kree civil war that devastated her homeworld to the point that it could no longer support life.
  • Dar-Benn and Ronan are both Accusers that utilize a Universal Weapon augmented by powerful relics, the Power Stone for Ronan and one of the Quantum Bands for Dar-Benn. But Ronan respects Carol as one warrior to another while Dar-Benn outright hates her for ruining Hala.
• The Emperor: Following the demise of the Supreme Intelligence and the subsequent civil war, Dar-Benn assumed leadership of what remained of the Kree Empire, leading their efforts to restore their ruined homeworld.
• Energy Absorption: With the power of the Quantum Band she can absorb the energy of the Marvels' strikes and become a stronger opponent.
• Entitled Bitch: Her "peace talk" with the Skrulls is that she expects them to grovel and agree to abandon their refugee world to her, along with her theft of the planets' resources, only demonstrate that she feels that everyone and everything revolves around what she wants, innocent lives be damned. The fact that she would rather enact petty vengeance on Carol after she offered a more benevolent solution to restoring Hala's sun only shows how entitled she really is.
• Fantastic Racism: While she seemed willing to sit down and negotiate with the Skrulls, Dar-Benn quickly reveals that she holds them in as much contempt as any other nationalist Kree does, failing to show Emperor Dro'ge the same respect she demands from him, and when her true intentions are revealed, she gladly ruins the refugees' homeworld to both benefit Hala and spite Carol.
• From Nobody to Nightmare: When Carol destroyed the Supreme Intelligence, Dar-Benn was just another soldier she swatted aside without a second look. By the mid-2020s, she's become leader of what's left of Kree society and a major threat to the universe.
• Gender Flip: The Dar-Benn of the comics was a male general, here the character is instead portrayed by the female Zawe Ashton.
• Hypocrite:
  • During her peace talks with Skrull Emperor Dro'ge, Dar-Benn insists on being addressed by her title of Supremor, but doesn't pay Dro'ge the same courtesy.
  • As much as Dar-Benn preaches about doing all she does for Hala and how absolutely nothing is too much for Hala, Dar-Benn herself is perfectly willing to actively endanger it both by betraying Carol after she offered to restore Hala's sun to atone for her mistake, and then by using both Quantum Bands to tear open a hole in reality that threatens the entire universe, just so she can kill Carol, despite being told how much danger she's putting her own people in by doing so.
• Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: Dar-Benn's use of the Quantum Band to enable her theft of other worlds' resources destabilizes the jump point network, threatening to tear a whole in the space-time continuum. While she's not trying to tear the universe a new one, Dar-Benn's concern for the damage she causes begins and ends with Hala, and even that comes second to her personal revenge on Carol. However, it's ultimately Subverted just before her death, as Carol explicitly tells Dar-Benn how much danger she's putting reality in including the Kree, and yet Dar-Benn just keeps going all for the sake of hurting Carol.
• Moral Myopia: To heal the damage that civil war inflicted on Hala, Dar-Benn is willing to condemn several other planets to the same fate.
• The Needs of the Many: When the possibility of her plans killing her comes up, Dar-Benn insists that if she has to die for her people, then die she will. As it happens, she is willing to die, but more to spite Captain Marvel than anything else.
• Not-So-Well-Intentioned Extremist: She seeks Hala's restoration using the power of the Quantum Band. But this requires her to steal what she needs to restore her world from other planets, having no issue with it as she saved Earth's sun for last. She's also deliberately picking planets she knows Carol has a personal connection to, even though there are plenty of other options that won't allow Carol to guess where she's going, showing that It's Personal and not just about her planet. And she turns down the chance for Carol to peacefully restart Hala's sun, even though that would've been a lot easier than what she tried to do. At the same time, she is willing to die to achieve her goals, which shows she does have a strong belief in the righteousness of her objectives. Her motivations are real, but tainted by her Kree chauvinism and desire for vengeance.
• Posthumous Villain Victory: Despite being destroyed by the Quantum Bands, Dar-Benn had already restored Hala's atmosphere and oceans by siphoning them off from the planets inhabited by people that Carol cares about. Even though her attempt to siphon the Earth's sun was thwarted, Hala's sun was still restored via Carol using her powers in its core as atonement for being "The Annihilator", thus saving the Kree people from extinction just as she promised to them.
• Psychological Projection: As she prepares to steal oxygen from Tarnax, Dar-Benn insists that the Skrulls treat the Kree like vermin, clearly projecting her own racism onto them to try and justify her actions.
• Revenge: Dar-Benn's motivation. She holds Carol responsible for the death of the Supreme Intelligence, the ensuing Kree Civil War, and the devastation of Hala.
• Revenge Before Reason: Dar-Benn could very easily have used the Quantum Band she had acquired to open jump points to uninhabited worlds to restore Hala, or at least picked worlds that Carol has no specific attachments to. Instead, she deliberately targets worlds and people that Carol holds dear just to make her suffer. Worse still, Dar-Benn is willing to render said efforts completely meaningless by using the Quantum Bands to rip a hole in reality that endangers the entire universe, immediately after she betrayed Carol when the latter promised to reignite the Kree sun, for no other reason than so Dar-Benn specifically could have her revenge on Carol.
• Sanity Slippage: Her mental state, while already filled with Kree xenophobia and supremacism, begins to rapidly decay after she gets her hands on the Quantum Band. By the time of the final battle between her and the Marvels, Dar-Benn has been so consumed by hate for Carol that she's willing to throw away all the work she did and knowingly endanger the Kree by opening up a tear in reality that threatens the entire universe, all so she can kill Carol.
• Self-Disposing Villain: When she opts to prioritize revenge on Carol rather than let her re-ignite Hala's sun, her attempt to finish siphoning the energy of Earth's sun with the power of both Quantum Bands ends up being too much for her body to handle.
• Tragic Villain: Her goal of restoring Hala and saving her people from extinction is a heroic one, but she lets her hatred of Carol drive her down a path of self-destruction. Even when Carol promises to reignite Hala's sun with her cosmic powers as atonement for her sins, Dar-Benn still wants Carol dead and abandons her goal of saving Hala for a chance to kill the Marvels, which ultimately leads to her demise.
• Would Hurt a Child: After feigning surrender during the climax, Dar-Benn pins Kamala to the floor and threatens to kill her if Carol and Monica don't back off.

Other Kree Empire Officials and Agents

The Kree Ambassador

The Kree Ambassador

"We signed your peace treaty, Nova Prime. What more do you want?"

Species: Kree

Portrayed By: Tomas Arana

Appearances: Guardians of the Galaxy

The imperial representative responsible for the diplomatic affairs between the Kree Empire and Xandar.

---

• Amazing Technicolor Population: He is a blue-skinned Kree.
• "Ass" in Ambassador: He is an absolute prick to Nova Prime when she asks him to do something about Ronan's rampage. He declines to so much as consider condemning Ronan's actions, brushing off Nova Prime's outrage at Ronan's murder of innocent people.
• Bystander Syndrome: Essentially his attitude towards Ronan's genocidal anti-Xandar crusade; the Empire signed the treaty with Xandar, thus ending the war, so why should they care if one of their officers didn't bother to stop fighting? He even goes so far as to say that Ronan's destruction of Xandarian outposts is "your problem", passing the buck on to the Nova Corps to deal with the Rogue Agent that the Kree couldn't keep in line.
• Lack of Empathy: The ambassador totally ignores Ronan's war crimes against Xandar, even with Nova Prime all but demanding a response from the Kree government.
• Tribal Facepaint: Although not to the extent of Ronan's This Means Warpaint design, he also bears some black face paint during his conversation with Nova Prime.

G.H.

G.H.

Species: Kree

Portrayed By: Brandon Kolpack

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (first appears in Episode 14: "T.A.H.I.T.I.")

The G.H. or Guest Host is a codename for a Kree whose corpse was used by Project T.A.H.I.T.I. to synthesize drugs from his bodily fluids for the purpose of bringing people back to life, particularly fallen Avengers. His corpse was discovered by HYDRA led by General Werner Reinhardt in 1945, and confiscated by S.S.R. when the Allies won World War II. The corpse eventually came into possession of S.H.I.E.L.D. to be used for Project T.A.H.I.T.I.

---

• Amazing Technicolor Population: He is a blue-skinned Kree.
• Ancient Astronauts: His corpse is revealed to have been thousands of years old when discovered.
• Body Horror: Besides the fact that his lower body is missing, we can see some parts of his intestines / internal organs◊.
• Genetic Memory: Simmons theorizes that the last thing this alien was thinking of before he died was (as they later discover) the unknown city and that people injected with the material taken from the body have fragments of that memory in the form of the city's layout.
• Half the Man He Used to Be: He lost the lower half of his body.
• Human Resources: The G.H. serum is extracted from his mangled body.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: His real name is unknown. "G.H." is his Code Name for Project T.A.H.I.T.I., short for "Guest Host".
• Posthumous Character: He's been dead for millennia. His corpse even pre-dated the Pyramids of Giza, according to Dr. Goodman.

Vin-Tak

Vin-Tak

Species: Kree

Portrayed By: Eddie McClintock

Voiced By: Carlo Vázquez (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Disney dub), Rubén Trujillo (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Sony dub) (Latin-American Spanish dub)

Appearances: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (first appears in Episode 34: "Who You Really Are")

A Kree who comes to Earth to investigate Inhuman activity.

---

• Anti-Villain: He's only on Earth to actually cover-up the activity of Inhumans since he rightfully views the Kree's past atrocities in creating them as an despicable period in his people's history, and he sincerely wants to prevent them or humanity being bloodily conquered by his own people.
• Hoist by His Own Petard: Bobbi induces memory loss on Vin-Tak with his own truncheon.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: His truncheon can induce amnesia in anyone he hits with it. He can also reverse the effect in the same manner.
• Old Shame: invoked He regards the Inhuman experiments on Earth as a dark and shameful period in Kree history, and one he wants to make sure stays history.
• Rubber-Forehead Alien: The main distinction between him and a human is blue skin and mild forehead ridges.
• Skin-Tone Disguise: Vin-Tak uses special tech to cover up his blue skin and make himself look like an ordinary human.
• Smug Super: Every time he fights a human, there's this undercurrent of disbelief that such a puny being thinks they can stop him.
• Super-Strength: As a Kree, his body has more strength than people of Earth. He was able to throw Lady Sif away for some considerable measure with a single hit.
• Super-Toughness: Being blown away by the destroyer gun only disorients him.
• Token Heroic Orc: As of Phase Three, he's one of only two Kree to make an appearance in the MCU who can be considered heroic. He's not as violent as the others and he only wanted to kill Skye because he sincerely believed that she was too dangerous to let live.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: He only came to Earth to make sure the other Kree wouldn't find out about the Diviner being activated and decide to restart their weapons program. Then, in the end, he only wants to kill Skye because he sincerely believes she's a threat.

Mar-Vell

Mar-Vell / Dr. Wendy Lawson

Species: Kree

Portrayed By: Annette Bening

Voiced By: Maru Guzmán (Latín American Spanish dub), Yoshiko Sakakibara (Japanese dub)

Appearances: Captain Marvel

A Kree scientist who disguises herself as a high-ranking figure in Project Pegasus, who becomes a mentor to Carol Danvers.

---

• Adaptational Intelligence: The comic version of Mar-Vell certainly wasn't an idiot, but this version of the character was a brilliant scientist even among a race of technologically-advanced Galactic Conquerors. In the backstory of Captain Marvel, when she was restricted to using the considerably-less advanced technology of Earth, she was still able to derive an incredibly advanced form of Faster-Than-Light Travel through examining the Tesseract/Space Stone, to the point where it could quickly travel through space without being restricted to the Portal Network used elsewhere for FTL in the MCU.
• Adaptational Wimp: She has none of her comics counterpart's superpowers and strength, having been taken out by a laser blast that Captain Mar-Vell could have shrugged off.
• Adaptation Name Change: Due to the Gender Flip, Mar-Vell's Earth alias is named "Wendy", not "Walter".
• Age Lift: This version of the character is much older than her counterpart in the comics.
• Alien Arts Are Appreciated: If her choice of name for Goose is anything to go by, Mar-Vell is apparently a fan of Top Gun.
• The Atoner: After a life of taking part in the Kree war machine and prosecuting the war of genocide against the Skrulls, she seeks a way to put the surviving Skrull refugees beyond the reach of her former comrades.
• Composite Character: A blond female Kree who is a scientist instead of a warrior, and who is tragically killed by Yon-Rogg? This better describes Mar-Vell's Token Romance Una from the original Captain Marvel's origin story rather than comic Mar-vell himself.
• Deadpan Snarker: When a baffled Carol points out that her blood is blue, Mar-Vell responds with a dry "Yeah, but how's my hair?".
• Death by Origin Story: Unlike in the comics, Mar-Vell doesn't survive the explosion that gives Carol her powers.
• Defector from Decadence: She abandoned the Kree in order to research and develop an advanced FTL engine so refugees from the Kree's cosmic conquest could escape to where the empire could never find them.
• Dies Differently in Adaptation: Mar-Vell's death via cancer is one of the most well-known deaths in Marvel Comics. Here, she's instead shot by Yon-Rogg.
• Foreshadowing: After it's established that the Supreme Intelligence takes the form of an important figure in a person's life, Carol sees her as an older woman wearing a Kree military uniform, but her identity is never revealed. She's later identified as "Dr. Wendy Lawson", which is a name keen Marvel Comics fans would recognize...
• Fluffy Tamer: Who would even keep a highly dangerous alien cat as a pet? Well, she would.
• Gender Flip: Mar-Vell is a man in the comics, but a woman here.
• Hair of Gold, Heart of Gold: Just like the comics version, whose silver hair turned golden when he attained enlightenment, the selfless and heroic Mar-Vell has blonde hair. This puts her in direct contrast with the A.I. avatar used by the Supreme Intelligence, which still has silver hair.
• Human Aliens: She is a Kree, but looks indistinguishable from a normal Caucasian human (apart from having the standard blue-colored blood of a Kree). Whether this is her natural appearance (making her a Pink Kree, like Yon-Rogg) or she's a blue Kree using their nitrogen-based disguise is never revealed.
• Kindhearted Cat Lover: A flashback shows that she's Goose's original owner and she's indeed the most kindhearted Kree we've ever seen in the MCU.
• My Species Doth Protest Too Much: She eventually realized that the Kree's war against the Skrulls was an unjust persecution and began the process of rescuing them, trying to find a way to warp them outside the Kree's FTL jump network so they can't be followed. Unfortunately, her treachery was discovered and she was killed for it.
• Secret Identity: She hides on Earth under the identity of Dr. Wendy Lawson, a US military and S.H.I.E.L.D.-associated scientist. In the comics, she went by Walter Lawson.
• Sir Not-Appearing-in-This-Trailer: Subverted. While Annette Bening was advertised to be playing the Supreme Intelligence and even got her own character poster, there was nary a peep about her also playing Mar-Vell, or that the character was even in the movie to begin with.
• Token Heroic Orc: One of only two Kree featured in the MCU who isn't a complete asshole and has the best interest of non-Kree in mind.
• Walking Spoiler: It's pretty much impossible to discuss Mar-Vell in Captain Marvel without spoiling major plot points, namely that she's in it, or that she's a woman in the adaptation.
