History
War of the Nine Realms
The Korbinites have interacted with the Asgardians, although the nature of their interactions is unclear. When Thor destroyed the Rainbow Bridge, Korbin was one of the worlds affected by the Asgardians' inability to harness the Bifrost, leaving their world vulnerable to forces like the Marauders. When the Rainbow Bridge was repaired by the Tesseract, Korbin was saved.[1]
One member of this species, Beta Ray Bill, became the champion of the Grandmaster on Sakaar.[2]
Massacre of the Korbinites
In 2014, Nebula and Gamora pulled off a massacre against the Korbinites under Thanos' orders before Thanos was informed by Ronan the Accuser about the Power Stone's location.[3]
Characteristic Traits
Korbinites are yellow-skinned humanoids, featuring two black eyes and one mouth, but lacking ears and noses.
Some members, like Beta Ray Bill, featured a long equine-like head.
