Kree

"There's a story, a myth from the East of a star that fell from the heavens, of blue angels who came bearing a gift for all mankind, meant to save the world."

- Werner Reinhardt to Peggy Carter

The Kree are a scientifically and technologically advanced militaristic race of blue-skinned aliens from the planet Hala. One of the most technologically efficient races in the galaxy, the Kree have special emphasis placed on their skills in genetic engineering and are known to the people of Earth as the progenitors of the Inhumans. They are a powerful force in the galaxy that control a vast empire characterized by its barbarism, savagery, and arrogance.

Galactic Exploits
The Kree are a humanoid race who follow a strict, militaristic lifestyle. They are the rulers of the Kree Empire, a large, interstellar imperial group that encompasses various planets, and features the Sakaaran species as a client race. The Nova Empire, another galactic group that live in the same borders as the Kree Empire, have a strained relationship with the Kree, as evidenced by the great war that had been waged between the two factions for hundreds of decades.

The Kree are one of the many races encountered by the Asgardians in the Nine Realms and the worlds beyond Yggdrasil. Their relationship with the Asgardians is rusty at best, as the Asgardians see the Kree as deceitful and savage.

They visited pre-historical Earth, leaving a member of their race who was either dead at the time or died later. According to Raina, the Kree desired to change the Human race, and their experiments gave rise to a sub-order called the Inhumans. The Inhumans had the potential to obtain supernatural powers and characteristics if exposed to the Terrigen Mist, a mutagen exhaled from Terrigen Crystals. The Kree created Diviners to carry the crystals, and they were built to only recognize the unique genetic patterns in Inhumans so it could be ferried to a cityscape that the Kree constructed deep beneath the planet's surface; once joined with a temple built within the city, the Diviners would unveil the crystals inside and subject the Inhumans to further transmutation. For whatever reason, the Kree withdrew from Earth, and as stated hitherto, left one of their own behind. Centuries later, this Kree, later dubbed G.H., was discovered dead by residents of a Chinese village, and eventually fell into the hands of HYDRA, the Strategic Scientific Reserve, and ultimately S.H.I.E.L.D. The agency tried repeatedly to use the G.H.'s blood as a basis for advanced healing formulas for Project T.A.H.I.T.I., but most attempts proved fruitless resulting in the test subject becoming dangerously psychotic. The G.H. was then destroyed.

It was also around this time that Phil Coulson, in an attempt to find the reason behind the G.H.'s presence on Earth, asked Lady Sif which of the many alien species she had previously encountered was blue. The Kree were one of the races she mentioned, but she added that the Kree have never been on Earth, obviously unaware of their visit millennia before.

Ronan's Vendetta
"My government knows no shame."

- Ronan the Accuser

In recent times, the war between the Kree and the Nova Empire has ended, thanks in no small part to the Nova Prime Irani Rael being able to force the Kree to sign a peace treaty. Seeking revenge against the Nova Empire and refusing to abide by the treaty, Ronan the Accuser allied with Thanos, promising to give him the Orb in exchange for the forces necessary to annihilate Xandar, the capitol of the Nova Empire. The treaty was not popular among the Kree citizenry, as massive riots broke out across their homeworld when the news of it broke.

Ronan's quest against Xandar eventually led to his downfall. In a destructive battle waged in both Xandar's airways and city streets, Ronan came close to destroying the entire planet using an Infinity Stone, but the Guardians of the Galaxy were able to use the stone to kill him.

Characteristic Traits
The Kree are a humanoid species and resemble the human race almost exactly, with the exception of having blue skin. They have a higher strength level than that of a human, and their physicality is different, having adapted to various environmental characteristics on their home planet.

Another noteworthy trait is their highly potent regenerative capabilities. Their healing factor is considered to be so profound that S.H.I.E.L.D. attempted to use the G.H.'s blood to perform transfusions with mortally wounded, dying, or dead humans in order to resurrect them or cure them of terminal illnesses.
