History
In an attempt to further advance the Kree race, the Supreme Intelligence called for an experiment in which a child would be infused with the DNA of powerful warriors of the Kree Empire. The DNA came from Captain Marvel, Photon, Ronan the Accuser, and
Shatterstar.
Zam and his wife Lona, decided that their soon to be born baby should take part. Their baby would become part of the history of the Kree Empire as one of its greatest protectors. A few days after Kael's birth, Zam and Lona gave him to the geneticists of the great experiment. They were told that they would be able to see him whenever they pleased, but that eventually changed.
Zam became paranoid because he believed that they were killing his son. Lona agreed with him and she planned to break their son out. The DNA bonding process was a long one. Only certain parts of it would be infused with Kael's DNA. He would have the cosmic awareness and solar energy absorption of both Captain Marvel and Photon. The combination would make the powers stronger. Shatterstar's DNA would give Kael the ability to emit the solar rays and energy in different forms and purposes. Again this DNA helps improve those of Captain Marvel and Photon. Ronan's DNA was used because of how well it reacts to his suit. A suit would be created for Kael and act similarly to Ronan's. Lastly, Kael will be infused with nanobot technology so he can have greater control over his body and mind. These nanobots would also react with the ones in his suit for enhanced abilities.
The project was completed and the Supreme Intelligence wanted to have Kael put in the Kree Imperial Academy. Before this could happen, Zam and Lona came for their boy. They took him and his suit by force and fled. They wanted to get Kael out of the Kree Galaxy. They put him in suspended animation and then boarded a ship. They left and were being followed by the Kree Navy. Zam and Lona were nearing Earth when their ship was damaged. A hole was torn in its side and it exploded.
However, Zam and Lona escaped with Kael in an escape pod. The shockwave from the ship explosion damaged the escape pod as well. The ship crashed near a farm in Illinois. Zam died instantly in the crash. Lona was mortally wounded, but she took her son and moved him away from the ship. The owner's of the farm, Edgar and Nora Coen, went to the crash site. They were afraid, but saw that Lona needed help. With her last breath, Lona asked the couple to take care of Kael. They brought him in their house and then buried Zam, Lona, and the ship. Kael awoke from suspended animation to a new family that would raise him as Nathaniel, a human.
Human Life
Nate's life as a human was not an average one. He managed to get into high school at just twelve years old. He was always the best at whatever sport he played in. Nate assumed it was all of his natural abilities. Other kids in his school didn't take to him to lightly. They thought he pretended that he didn't know what he was. These kids figured that Nate was a mutant and they wanted him out of their school.
Nate playing games.
When Nate was on his way home that night, those kids mugged him. They moved him to an alley and started their assault. One kid hit Nate over the head with a bat. Nate hardly felt their beating, and he was surprised. Nonetheless, he attempted to defend himself. He grabbed the kid with the bat and pushed him. The kid smashed into a wall. Most of his attackers preceded to run away, but some stayed behind. One kid pulled out a gun and pointed it at Nate's head. Two others grabbed hold of Nate's arms. Another started attacking Nate's face and torso with a lead pipe. The kid with the gun shot Nate in the arm. He couldn't get away because he had grown weak.
Suddenly, a boy came to Nate's aid. He knocked out the kid with the gun and was then hit in the face with the pipe. It didn't phase him and he continued the rescue. It was obvious to Nate that the kid was a mutant. Nate thanked him and then the kid left, but he wasn't sure who he was.
Nate told his parents what had happened and he asked them what was wrong with him. He wanted to know if he was a mutant. They took Nate outside and showed him three graves. He didn't understand. Nora told Nate that he was an alien and that his birth name was Kael. They told him the story of how he arrived to them and the fate of his birth parents. Edgar dug up the third grave to reveal the pod that brought Nate and his parents. It was a lot for him to take in. In the pod, he saw a light flashing on one of the panels. He pushed it and a video message started playing. It was his parents during their ascension towards Earth.
The video explained everything to Nate. He now understood where he came from and why his parents died. Nate decided that he would learn to use his powers because one day the Kree would come looking for him. Nate also found a detailed analysis of the experiment in the pod. It described what abilities he had and who they came from. He just had no idea how to use them.
After further examining the pod, Nate discovered a disc. He placed it in the pod's on-board computer and it turned out to be a training program. It showed Nate's powers being used by their original owners. Zam's voice guided the program and he explained that he would give Kael trials to complete.
It took all summer but, Nate learned all that he could about using his powers. After he completed training, Edgar took Nate to the basement under the farmhouse. He showed Nate the suit that came to Earth with him. Once Nate walked in front of the suit, a hologram appeared. It was his parents again. They told him about the suit and that he should use it one day to become the new hero of the Kree Empire. Nate was stunned by what his parents said to him, but he accepted all of it.
A New Year
Once the school year began, Nate was filled with pride. He liked that he had this big secret about his origins. Throughout the first day he noticed that someone was constantly staring at him. He had seen the guy before and remembered that he was a loner. His name was Joseph Adams. Nate knew Joseph preferred to be alone, it was just how he was. What Nate didn't know was that Joseph knew his secret because he was the one who saved him.
Nate decided to follow Joseph one day after school. Then he saw Joseph was surrounded by a gang. Nate didn't understand why Joseph looked so calm. One of the gang members charged towards Joseph and he easily evaded. Two more went after him. Joseph grabbed the first by the throat and then kicked the second one away. It looked as if Joseph was growling at his attacker.
Suddenly the rest of the gang ran in to help. Joseph dropped the one guy and focused on the rest of them. Before he could do anything, the guy on the floor stabbed Joseph in his ribs with a silver knife. He fell to the ground and the gang picked him up. They put him against the wall and then the guy with the knife started stabbing Joseph in the stomach.
Nate couldn't take it any longer, so he ran out to save him. He drop kicked the guy with the knife in the face. Nate got up and was punched in the face. He grabbed that guy and threw him into the others. Then they all jumped on him, so Nate started to generate heat all over his body. The entire gang was burned and they fell over in pain. Nate turned to Joseph who had blacked out. He woke him and tried to help him up. Joseph pushed Nate away and got up himself. He began walking away while dripping blood. Then he collapsed onto the floor.
Before Nate could help Joseph, an ambulance arrived. They took him away and Nate left.
Facing Fate
While working on the farm, Nate saw something crash land a few miles away. He ran over to the crash site and discovered that it was a ship of Kree design. Nate opened the door of the ship and was attacked by a woman. She was not a blue-skinned Kree, like his mother. The woman shot at Nate with an energy pistol. Nate dodged the blast with a back flip. Then he sent a blast of his own towards her. He landed a direct hit, but her armor seemed to absorb the blast. She sprinted towards him and then jumped behind him. She shot Nate in the back and he was rendered unconscious.
The Kree took Nate back to Hala as her prisoner. When Nate woke up he was before the Supreme Intelligence. He was happy to see his creation once more. He told Nate that he planned to train him to become the hero of the Kree Empire that he was originally supposed to be. Nate refused and requested to be sent back to Earth. The Supreme Intelligence said he would send Kael back to eventually conquer it.
Nate tried to attack the Supreme Intelligence, but he was stopped by his capturer. He was told that if he didn't do as the Supreme Intelligence asked, he and his Earth family would be killed. Fearing for his parents' safety, Nate had no choice but to follow his orders.
The Kree Empire
Kael was no longer allowed to be called by his Earth name, while he was enrolled in the Kree Imperial Academy. Kael fought during his time on Hala, but he always lost. He was often punished for these actions. He struggled to learn how to be a Kree soldier. He was focused on getting through it to return home. He was sent on missions where he was nearly killed. His only happiness came from a woman named, La-Renn. She would help Kael whenever he was wounded. She became Kael's mentor and he finally began to master his powers and he started to appreciate the Kree more. By the end of his training, Kael was convinced that he was a proud member of the Kree race.
In order to be accepted in Kree society, Kael's next mission would send him back to Earth to retrieve his Kree property and then to bring back one of Earth's heroes. Kael was sent with his mentor, La-Renn, to ensure success.
La-Renn landed their ship and she asked Kael to take her to the Coen farm. Once they arrived, they saw that the farmhouse was on fire and the Coen's were no where to be found. Kael ran into the basement and discovered that his suit was missing. La-Renn called for Kael and when he got to her she was fighting a Kree soldier. Before Kael could help her, he saw another one getting in a ship carrying his suit.
Kael jumped onto the roof of the midair ship and melted through it. Once inside he looked for the soldier. Kael was found first. The soldier tried shooting Kael, but he missed. He ran towards Kael and punched him through a wall into the cockpit. Unfortunately, Kael landed on the pilot rendering him unconscious. The ship was going down and the soldier with the power glove grabbed Kael and threw him across the ship. Kael crashed through a storage room and was stopped by a wall. He could see that the ship was about to crash. Kael was ready to leave until he saw his suit locked up next to him. He released his suit and took it.
La-Renn dispatched her foe and then she saw the Kree ship explode as it crashed into the ground. She ran to the crash site, hoping that Kael was still alive. The ship was engulfed in flames. Suddenly, she saw a figure shrouded by the fire walking towards her. Then she was able to make out who it was, Kael. He had managed to put his suit on and activate it before the ship crashed.
Kael felt strange in the suit, but it seemed natural. He deactivated the suit and returned to his normal size. Kael and La-Renn walked back to the Coen farm. The Kree soldier was still there and Kael sat him up. Then he punched him in the face. Kael sat him up again and asked why he came here. He laughed and spit his blood in Kael's face. Kael continued to beat the soldier until he talked. Then he heard his parents' voices.
He stopped and saw what he was doing, the soldier was near death and Kael's hands were covered in blood. He turned to see the Coen's sitting next to him. They had just come back from town and they saw him attacking the soldier. Nora began to take him inside when Kael stopped her. He backed away and then ran.
La-Renn was left there and she executed the Kree soldier that revealed himself to be a Skrull. Then she left after Kael. When she found him, he was alone and crying. He was angry at himself for losing control and that he allowed himself to be changed. La-Renn assured him that becoming apart of the Kree Empire was the best thing for him. It was the only way that he could live up to his parents' expectations.
Kael's parents wanted him to be the hero and soon ruler of the Kree. They wanted him to establish the Kree as a peaceful race. He was the newest and most complicated Super-Kree so, he was the only one with the power to save the empire from itself. Kael now saw things from a different perspective. Kael told La-Renn that he would now be faithful to the Kree Empire and do whatever it took to fulfill his parents' last wishes and lead the Kree to salvation.
The Onslaught War
The invasion of the Onslaughts posed a problem for Kael and La-Renn. They decided to intervene in order to ensure that they could fulfill their mission. La-Renn wanted to test Kael's abilities, so she sent him into the battle alone. Super-Kree entered the fight with a literal bang. He caused a massive explosion that destroyed an entire wave of Onslaughts. He fought hard to attempt to defeat the army, but he failed and lost his life in the process. ...more
