The Kree known as Ard-Con was a member of the

Odin once, claiming that his name brought back memories, but also thought that Odin had died. He was then accidentally freed by Thor when the latter used Mjolnir to turn into Donald Blake. Once free, he started wreaking havoc across the streets and knocked Thor unconscious. He was then apprehended by the British Army and Thor again, but stopped fighting when Thor realized that Ard-Con was trying to reach a portal at Stonehenge in order to depart Earth. After that, Ard-Con successfully departed Earth.[3]

Shadowcat intervened and freed Meggan along with tourists and also allowing Rachel Summers getting some knowledge about his people. Ard-Con then broke into Darkmoor Nuclear Research Facility where he recreated a nuclear facsimile in order to use it at the Stonehenge and finally reunite with his people. However, the Excalibur intervened and stopped Captain Britain from fighting Ard-Con, while Kitty opened a portal to Ard-Con's people and apologized to him.[4] This proved to be successful, however, upon arriving to his home, he was approached by the Supreme Intelligence who informed Ard-Con that he was the last surviving Kree Eternal.[5] Then Ultimus, under the order of the Supremor, joined the Starforce.[6]

He, along with rest of the team, were sent to capture the

Quasar with his allies for their intrusion in Shi'ar space.[10][11] After the Kree regained their autonomy, all of the Starforce members became defectors.[12]

Suzy Sherman is an aspiring model who, over the course of a few days, grows several inches, develops the physique of a bodybuilder, and acquires superpowers. She discovers that she is a mutant Kree warrior, born Tsu-Zana.[18] She helps the superhero team New Warriors defeat the villain Effex.[19] Her powers include flight, super-strength, multi-spectral vision, and a healing factor.

Unspoken

Unspoken
Terrigenesis

The Unspoken is a

Christos N. Gage
.

Originally, the Unspoken was a just ruler to the Inhumans. However, fearful that it would corrupt his people, he decided to steal the Slave Engine, his people's greatest weapon, along with the

Xerogen Crystals
it utilized and buried them somewhere in Tibet. After refusing to reveal the Slave Engine's location, he was then challenged to a duel by the heir to the throne, a young Blackagar Boltagon. Despite being by far the strongest of the Inhumans, moving the Slave Engine had weakened the King which led to his defeat at the hands of Blackagar and his friends. His final stipulation was that his deeds be remembered, but Black Bolt had a crueler fate in mind: the King, his deeds, and the Slave Engine itself, were written out of Inhuman history. From that day on, he would be remembered only as a bogeyman to frighten small children, his name forevermore "unspoken".

He was later recovered by the

Avengers Resistance, and even the Dark Avengers) to stop him.[30]

Unfortunately, even the joint forces of the New Avengers, Avengers Resistance and Mighty Avengers failed to stem the tide. Most of their force were mutated by the Xerogen Mists, before the

Wasp arrived. They both dueled each other at massive sizes. Wasp called him pathetic, for wallowing in his own misery for his mistakes and not learning to move on. The Unspoken was defeated when the chronal ray on board the Slave Engine that accelerated the growth of the Xerogen crystals was used against him, aging him to the point where he was too weak to carry on fighting. The heroes then permitted the Alpha Primitives to allow the Unspoken to return to his cave to live out the rest of his days.[31]

During the Inhumanity storyline, the Unspoken resurfaced and arrived at New Attilan. Due to Black Bolt missing at the time, the Unspoken proposed to Medusa and tried to cover for his missing brother. Medusa refused the Unspoken's offer and had him incarcerated in the dungeon.[32] The Unspoken soon broke free from his imprisonment and headed to New Attilan's catacombs.[33] It is here that the Unspoken starts looking for Terrigen Crystals in order to replenish his powers. Despite the intervention of Medusa and Gorgon, the Unspoken defeated them and reclaimed the throne.[34] The newly transformed Inhumans later helped the Inhuman Royal Family to fight the Unspoken managing to steal the Terrigen Crystals from him. Upon his defeat and being deprived of the Terrigen Crystals, the Unspoken was reimprisoned in the dungeon.[35]

The Unspoken is the living embodiment of Terrigenesis itself. He is capable of altering his form in any way he desires, and can give himself a wide number of abilities, such as mass manipulation and energy construct manifestation. To maintain his powers, he needs to absorb Terrigen Crystals.

The character also appears in back-up stories in What If? #24 ("The First Eternals", December 1980), and 26-27 ("Untold Tales Of The Marvel Universe: Outpost On Uranus", April–July 1981).

Uranos is Kronos's brother[42][43] and was banished from Earth along with his followers, after losing a civil war against Kronos. He succeeds in re-materializing and discovers a Kree base on the planet Uranus. Upon destroying Sentry 213 who was stationed there, Uranos uses the weapons there in an attempt to return to Earth and gain revenge on Kronos. Uranos encounters a Kree Armada. After the ship is destroyed, Uranos and the survivors with him resettle on Titan and die during another civil war.[44][45][46]

It turns out that the Uranos that was on Titan was just a patchwork clone while the real one is imprisoned in the Exclusion. As the Prime Eternal upon being revived, Uranos' grandnephew Thanos visited him where he received an imprint key that would grant him access to his armories.[47]

Uranos agrees to the terms. Then he goes back to beating up Druig as a way to kill time.[55]

Ev Teel Urizen

Ev Teel Urizen is a character appearing in

Cable to fight Hecatomb. Suspicious of Urizen's motives, Cable initially refused; he reluctantly agreed only after Hecatomb attacked Earth and proved as powerful as Urizen had warned. Hecatomb was able to separate Urizen from Cable, but not before they used their combined powers to wake the comatose Rogue
. Urizen spent its last moments in terror as Hecatomb consumed it. Rogue then arrived and, her powers augmented by Pandemic's "Strain 88" virus, absorbed the 8 billion consciousnesses Hecatomb contained, destroying it. Subsequently, Rogue contained the memories of all those minds, but Urizen and its memories were never specifically mentioned.
