Ronan the Accuser

"They call me terrorist, radical, zealot because I obey the ancient laws of my people, the Kree.... and punish those who do not. Because I do not forgive your people for taking the life of my father, and his father, and his father before him. A thousand years of war between us will not be forgotten!"

- Ronan the Accuser

Ronan the Accuser was a radical member of the alien race the Kree. A ferocious genocidal militarist, Ronan attempted to eradicate the Xandarians by forging an alliance with Thanos, offering the Orb in exchange for the destruction of Xandar. After a long Quest for the Orb, Ronan finally aqquired the Orb, and decided against giving it to Thanos, choosing to take the Orb's power for himself. Using his new-found power he attacked Xandar but was defeated and killed by the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Thanos' Underling
Ronan is a sadistic, dogmatic member of the Kree who holds a strong authoritative position in his race's military. A supporter of Thanos, Ronan trained the warlord's two adopted daughters, Gamora and Nebula, to be fierce warriors.

At some point Ronan murdered Hovat and Kamaria, the wife and child of Drax the Destroyer. This made Drax lose his sanity and go on a killing spree across the galaxy.

In Thanos' quest to obtain the Infinity Stones, Ronan, who sought to bring about genocide against the Xandarian race, agreed to aid Thanos in his search for the Orb in exchange for Thanos' help in an attack against the Xandarian homeworld.

In the hunt, Ronan discovered that the Orb was hidden on Morag, only for it to be taken by the human outlaw Star-Lord.

The Chase Begins
Ronan, unwilling to be denied his chance for vengeance, sent Gamora to retrieve the Orb from Star-Lord, unaware that she planned on betraying him and Thanos by giving the orb to a third party: the Collector. Soon, he found out that Gamora had been captured and incarcerated in the Nova Corps prison of Kyln. When The Other, who was speaking for Thanos, began to annoy him, Ronan killed him by breaking his neck with his Universal Weapon. Thanos then ordered Ronan and Nebula to raid the Kyln. However, by the time they arrived, Gamora had already escaped along with the rest of her new allies. Realizing that the Nova Corps was coming to help retake the prison and knowing that none of the staff had any useful Information, he ordered Nebula to cleanse the prison.

Skirmish on Knowhere
Ronan eventually tracked Gamora and her allies to the planet Knowhere, home of the Collector, thanks to a message from Drax the Destroyer who wanted revenge for Ronan killing his wife and daughter. When Gamora attempted to flee, Ronan attempted to pursue only to be confronted by Drax and so had Nebula pursue her instead. Drax launched numerous attacks at Ronan, but Ronan was easily able to evade Drax's attacks while landing several of his own. To prove a point, he even let Drax repeatedly punch him in the stomach to no effect. He beat Drax half to death and left him to drown in a vat of spinal fluid. Nebula then called Ronan having retrieved the Orb from Gamora and, with this information, Ronan returned to the Dark Aster.

Betraying Thanos and Battle of Xandar
"BOY! I would reconsider your current course!" "YOU CALL ME "BOY"?! I will unfurl one thousand years of Kree justice on Xandar AND BURN IT TO ITS CORE!! Then, Thanos, I'm coming for you!""

- Ronan betrays Thanos On the Dark Aster, Nebula gave the Orb to Ronan who then attached it to the Universal Weapon. He was soon contacted by Thanos who ordered him to hand over the Orb to him. Ronan realised that with the Orbs power he no longer needed Thanos help to invade Xandar and so severed ties with the Titan and warned him that after he destroyed Xandar he would be coming for him next. Nebula, having resented Thanos' treatment of her over the years, joined Ronan and converged on Xandar only to be confronted by the Nova Corps, Ravagers and Guardians of the Galaxy.

As the Nova Corps stalled the Dark Aster's approach on Xandar while Rocket Raccoon and the Ravagers protected the civilians, Ronan found himself confronted by Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax the Destroyer, and Groot who blasted him with the Hadron Enforcer. However, Ronan was unaffected and easily overpowered the group. Before he could kill them, Rocket crashed his ship, heavily damaging the Dark Aster and causing it to crash. But once again, Ronan was completely unharmed. Walking out of the wreckage, Ronan mocked the group and began to unleash the Orb's power only to be distracted by Star-Lord allowing Drax to destroy his hammer, disarming him.

Quill quickly caught the Orb, only to be almost killed by its power, when Gamora, Drax, and Rocket grabbed his hand, helping with the burden of the Orb's power and directing its energy at Ronan, killing him.

Powers
Ronan possesses all of the various superhuman attributes common amongst his people, such as superhuman strength and an efficient healing factor.
 * Kree Physiology: As a Kree, Ronan has the following superhuman abilities.
 * Superhuman Strength: Ronan possessed enough strength to knock Drax around like a rag-doll and could physically take on the entire Guardians team, single-handedly. He was thought to be one of the strongest of the Kree and was worshiped by some for his great power. His strength was impressive enough that he was even able to survive direct exposure to the Orb's power long enough until combining it with his Universal Weapon.
 * Superhuman Durability: While not indestructible, Ronan had incredible durability, well beyond that of a human, but not greater than an Asgardian.
 * Superhuman Reflexes: Ronan was easily able to counter all of Drax's hits when he chose to do so, despite Drax possessing superhuman reflexes himself.
 * Regenerative Healing Factor: As with all Kree, Ronan possesses a healing factor which allows him to recover from injuries in a much shorter timespan than humans.
 * Energy Resistance: His great healing factor could explain the reasons why he was able to hold the Orb for a much longer time than mortals and endure an energy blast from the Orb's power longer than mortals.

Abilities
As a warrior and military figurehead, it is only natural that Ronan would have extensive combat and military training. He had very impressive hand to hand skills, easily countering Drax the Destroyer's hits with little effort and defeating him in battle twice. He also trained Gamora and Nebula to become skilled warriors. Thanks to his training, Ronan is extremely proficient in wielding melee weapons.

Equipment

 * Universal Weapon - Ronan was the wielder of the Universal Weapon, a large staff-like war hammer. In addition to using it as a melee weapon, he can also fire some sort of force that is capable of snapping a person's neck by twisting their head 180 degrees, as he did to The Other.
 * Kree Armor - Ronan used a technologically advanced battlesuit that enhanced his strength and durability to levels higher than they already were.
 * Dark Aster - Ronan was the commander of his own spacecraft, the Dark Aster, which came with a complete crew and combat squadron.
