- "What did you do to your uniform?"
- ―Yon-Rogg to Captain Marvel[src]
The Starforce Uniform is a Kree regimental of protection, used by Starforce during its missions. It is also the suit used by Captain Marvel, who retained her uniform despite defecting from Starforce.
History[]
Kree Uniform[]
The Starforce uniform was designed as a protection suit consisting of gloves, long boots, wrist gauntlets, and a utility belt. The Kree colors of the suit are dark green, black and silver. The chest emblem represents the symbol of Starforce.[1]
Vers and Minn-Erva landed on Aphos Prime for a mission in their uniforms, which got covered in mud as soon as they disembarked. They were later attacked by the planet's vines, and one vine melted a hole in Minn-Erva's armor, burning her chest. In a later mission on the planet Sy'gyl, Vers ripped off part of her uniform to make a makeshift tourniquet to help an injury she sustained. The tourniquet was later removed by Rhomann Dey, who created a more effective solution.[2]
In 1995, Starforce members were in their uniforms during the Ambush in Torfa. When Vers was attacked and knocked unconscious by Son-Larr-disguised Talos his with a Skrull Electroshock Baton, and adducted into his flagship, the latter’s fellow Skrulls removed her boots, a moment before they connected her to a Fracking Pod, to discover her past life as Carol Danvers. But she was able to recover her boots and put them back on her feet, during her escape. When she completely escaped the flagship and landed on Earth, her suit was covered in dust having landed at a Los Angeles mall. She later cleared it of the dust.[1]
Captain Marvel's Uniform[]
- "There is something that I need your help with. I can't wear these Kree colors anymore. And since you're obviously the only person around here with any sense of style..."
- ―Carol Danvers to Monica Rambeau[src]
Carol Danvers eventually regained her true memories from before her plane crash and realized that the Kree were the real aggressors in the Kree-Skrull War, so she changed sides and decided to help the Skrulls. Symbolically leaving her Kree identity behind, Danvers asked Monica Rambeau to help her redesign her Starforce uniform in the red, blue, and gold of the USAF.
Between 1995 and 2018, Danvers redesigned the Starforce uniform with a pair of golden shoulder pads. Following the Snap, she wore her updated uniform upon her arrival on Earth, responding to Nick Fury's signal.[1] Whilst in her uniform, she rescued Tony Stark and Nebula, who were stranded onboard the Benatar. Alongside the Avengers, Danvers would ambush Thanos on the Garden whilst in her uniform, in an attempt to reverse the Snap.
Between 2018 and 2023, Danvers redesigned the uniform again, inversing the blue and red of her suit, wearing it whilst conducting her duties throughout the galaxy. As an Avenger, she wore her uniform during holo-conferences with her teammates. During the Battle of Earth, Danvers arrived at the battlefield and fought against Thanos in her uniform.[3] Following Thanos' defeat, Danvers returned to space, maintaining communication with Earth's heroes and appearing in uniform during holo-conferences.[4]
Between 2024 and 2025, Danvers once again redesigned her uniform, returning to her original color scheme, albeit with less red and gold. Her uniform's sleeves were also shortened. She was in this uniform when she was suddenly teleported to Kamala Khan's house.[5]

Fighting Loki[]
In an alternate universe, Captain Marvel wore her Starforce uniform when Nick Fury called her for help in fighting Loki.[6] She wore it during the fight against Loki and the Einherjar onboard the Helicarrier.[7]
Thor's Party[]
In an alternate universe, Captain Marvel wore her Starforce uniform when she was called by S.H.I.E.L.D. to defend Earth against a party thrown by Thor. She fought against Thor wearing the uniform and nearly destroyed him, before his mother came and scolded him. She then helped Thor lie to his mother about partying, whilst in uniform.[8]
Ultron Offensive[]
In an alternate universe, Captain Marvel wore her Starforce uniform defending Xandar against an Infinity Stone-powered Ultron. She drove him into the planet's core in an attempt to destroy him, but was killed when Ultron unleashed the full power of all six stones, destroying the uniform.[9]
Worn by Maria Rambeau[]
In an alternate universe, Maria Rambeau became Captain Marvel and wore her Starforce uniform. She wore it to a gathering of the Illuminati in which Stephen Strange was tried for arriving in her universe, when Wanda Maximoff attacked.

Capabilities[]
- Helmet Generation: The Starforce uniform can create a collapsible helmet that is generated around the user's head and in the case of Captain Marvel leaves part of her hair exposed in a mohawk. The user had the option to extend a blue visor over their mouth to allow them to breathe in the vacuum of space or underwater. It also gives additional protection to the skull in case of powerful impacts or attacks.
- Communication System: The suits had a localized communication system integrated into them that allowed Starforce members to contact one another. It is shown that the signal can be interrupted during the Ambush in Torfa.
- Holograph Projection: The suit could also project holographs via retractable blue fiber optical probes lining the uniforms fingers that would extend to project a holographic image of the person the user was communicating with.
- Universal Translator: The uniform has a built in universal translator that allows its wearer to understand the language of anyone they interact with and be able to speak their language back to them.
- Color Shifting: While the default color scheme for Starforce uniform is black and dark green, it is possible for the wearer to shift colors to suit their preference, though the only member who decided to do this is Captain Marvel, a defector who no longer felt morally comfortable wearing Kree colors. The suit's color range also extends into neon, as discovered by Monica Rambeau when changing Captain Marvel's uniform.
- Stealth Mode: During covert operations, the suit could automatically switch to a predefined preset making it all black without the user needing to manually change the colors, allowing for a seamless transition into stealthy situations.
- Specimen Analyzer: The uniform's sleeve contains a device that can analyze anything placed within it and provide the user information and feedback on the object.
- Kree Threat Detector: The Kree Threat Detector can be used to identify the species and threat level of an organism.
- Tracker: The sleeve also contained a screen that could holographically display the wearer's position relative to his or her current objective.
