"Carol Danvers' DNA. Along with the Avengers that you and your team collected. The Harvest."

―G'iah to Gravik^[src]

The Harvest is the collection of various DNA samples of enhanced individuals and creatures, harvested by the Skrulls on Nick Fury's order.

History

Collected

"Nearly every Avenger spilled blood in the Battle of Earth. Even Carol Danvers. In the aftermath, some were sent in to collect that DNA. Some with the ability to blend in."

―Nick Fury to Sonya Falsworth^[src]

This section requires expansion

In the aftermath of the Battle of Earth, multiple Avengers spilled their blood, even Carol Danvers. Nick Fury sent out a group of Skrulls, led by Gravik, to collect the DNA samples, remaining unnoticed. Fury hid the vial with harvested DNA at his grave storage in Finland.

Sought by Skrulls

"You told me Fury hid the Avengers' DNA, but it wasn't in any of the locations you provided."

―Pagon to Gravik^[src]

Desiring to take over the Earth and make Skrulls stronger, Gravik had "Rosa" and "Victor Dalton" construct the Super Skrull Machine and ordered Pagon to find the Harvest. However, it was not at any of the locations Gravik knew of, so the Skrull Resistance only had the DNA samples of Groot, Cull Obsidian and a Frost Beast, as well as a sample of Extremis, to work with.

Eventually, Gravik had Raava reveal New Skrullos' coordinates to President James Ritson, which would mean a full-scale war between the United States and Russia. He planned to use it as leverage on Nick Fury to convince him to give him the Harvest in exchange for preventing the war. Together with Sonya Falsworth, Fury arrived in Finland and collected the Harvest from the grave storage.

Used by Skrulls

G'iah, disguised as Fury, handling the Harvest to Gravik inside the Super Skrull Machine

G'iah, disguised as Nick Fury and acting sick in order to fool Gravik, took the vial containing the Harvest to New Skrullos. They met at the Super Skrull Machine, where Gravik used the Harvest to imbue himself with the powers within it, but having also been in the machine at the time, G'iah received the upgrade as well. Gravik and G'iah battled across New Skrullos, ending with G'iah killing Gravik with Captain Marvel's powers.

Trivia

• While the Harvest's intent was to possess the DNA of all powered individuals who participated in the Battle of Earth, not all of them had their DNA acquired. Spider-Man, Star-Lord, Rocket, Nebula, Miek, Wanda Maximoff and Howard the Duck, all of whom are beings whose powers are ingrained within their DNA, did not have their genetic samples included in the Harvest vial.
  • However, neither Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon or Howard the Duck displayed any superpowered feats during the Battle of Earth, as Star-Lord did not have access to his Celestial abilities while Rocket and Howard are merely viewed as anthropomorphic Earth animals.
• Ghost and Abomination are shown to have their DNA placed in the vial, despite them not participating in the Battle of Earth.
