"Skrullos is alive. The Kree are no more. We are still here, we have endured centuries, yet we crumble to this sardonic tantrum. Karma, isn't it?"

Earth 616

Born and raised in the Skrull Empire, Ky'la experienced an extensive training from her early childhood to an early adulthood until the Secret Invasion bestowed upon Earth.

• Born in Satriani, one of the planets that belonged to the Skrull Empire back then, Ky'la is the offspring of an affair between Veranke and Talos eons before the Annihilation Wave. The idea was to bring together a perfect spawn with pure royal blood, but due to past events, Talos lost his "untamed" title and became a shame to his people. Unable to stand the embarassment it'd bring to her lineage, Veranke made a pact with Super-Skrull Kl'rt: he'd come out of the shadows as the girl's rightful father. Granted, it worked, for Talos himself was unaware of the pregnancy. The kid spent the beginning of her childhood inside of the cave Veranke was exhiled to, but was soon sent to the training grounds as soon as the Queen became the leader of what was soon going to be the Secret Invasion, a saga event created by Marvel Comics.
  ⠀
• Ky'la grew up to be a lover of space adventures despite her dislike to the upcoming war, much to her "father's" dismay. Kl'rt was also responsible for tutoring her until early adulthood, when the first ships were sent to terrestrial territory.

• Her indifference went against all odds once settled for the birth of a new generation. Veranke's one true focus was the cause: the upcoming war against the humans. It was at young age that Ky'la was put through an experiment with the Skrullian Power Beam, aka the machine that once fueled Kl'rt's Super-Skrull powerset. It received her mother's blessing as she figured royalty and bravery would give the perfect deviant warrior, thus erasing the Talos background. Little Ky'la was tested by Kl'rt on a daily basis, but there was nothing special about the child despite his attempts. Disappointed, he led her to the battle grounds, were she would train with the rest of the ordinary population.

• Later on, the warrior blood was explored by her father and mother during tournaments. She grew to be a feared opponent and respected amidst great warriors, even surpassing Kl'rt himself. However, her love for space odysseys and urge to thrive in peace was still a bother to the great potential the queen saw in her offspring. Desperate, Super-Skrull assigned a young soldier from the Skrull army named Yek'zar to train her and shape her into a merciless soldier under all circumstances. Since the youngling's indifference continued to break expectations, the queen arranged a wedding between her daughter and Commander K'vvvr to force her into battlefront.

THE INVASION BEGINS

• Among other disguises, Ky'la hid as a biochemist of SHIELD during Civil War. The hero versus hero event caused her to pity Earth as it appeared to suffer of the same disease her own species did: the need to make war instead of peace. Needless to say it was an awful first impression. However, one thing touched her deep in the heart: Captain America's death. Watching the death of a national symbol made her realize how much it meant to stand up against what's wrong no matter what anyone else says. Well. As well as his wife, Commander K'vvvr wasn't fond of the cause neither. They promised to leave the planet, heck, the Galaxy after the war was over to build themselves a family and a peaceful life. However, his death interrupted their plans and worsened the young adult's hate towards the means of war.

• She'd nonchalantly blame her progenitor for the death of her lover and for the hope she lost for a happy ending. Therefore, when it came the day to the final combat between heroes and usurpers, she decided to change sides in order to find redemption for her apparent mistakes. For the first time, she had a purpose. The "Allegory of the Cave" ends when she breaks free from her now deceased mother to live a life of heroic deeds.

• Once dust settled down, Ky'la ceased hiding and took over the shape of a dead civilian to run away from the authorities later on.

THE AFTERMATH

• One week later, she was confronted by local authorities for carrying the ID of a supposedly dead victim from the invasion prior. It was while running away from Norman's new government (he became president) that she bumped into Abigail Brand, Director of SWORD, who took her in to join the space agency and lay low, claiming to be witness to the Skrull's rebellion and heroic acts beforehand.

• And so it became a new routine: study the American culture among many others, learn different languages, learn how to use this helpful gear called internet instead of mocking Earth's "lame" technology and so on....

NEW BEGINNINGS

• One month later, she became an agent of SWORD. A new face was then provided by a computer program, as well as a new ID (Alana Davis). Unbeknown to the rest of the agency, she studied every morning and received extensive combat training every night with the help of agent Deems. So far so good, her Skrulliam Power Beam abilities had been "asleep" ever since her early childhood.

• A year had passed when she asked for permision to leave the HQ (The Peak) and land on terrestrial soil, but her requests were denied. Disappointed, she stole a spacecraft after disrespecting Brand's orders and travelled back to the current Skrull Homeworld instead. There, in Tarnax II, she found a fallen Empire and a vengeful Kl'rt.

• He attempted to kill her, but just like it happened to Jazinda (his biological daughter), he hesitated. She was then "kicked out" and disinherited after claiming that Skrull throne was her birthright. Banished from her own home, Ky'la wandered around the Andromeda galaxy until landing on an intergalactic pub, where she accidentally bumped into the Guardians of the Galaxy. The owner, a Kree, refused to allow a Skrull in, mocking the end of the Empire. Ky'la was so destabilized from the meeting with Emperor Kl'rt that she started a fight with every customer.

• The Guardians stepped in and fought her, unaware of the true cause of the commotion, until Drax cornered her and punched her ear, which caused the communicator to beep and the voice of Abigail Brand to appease the comfront. Familiar to the green haired director, Peter Quill called down the fire and offered her a ride back to Earth since her ship was smashed during the small battle.

• She spent a brief time with them, which was enough to engage into small adventures and prove herself trustworthy. Once back on terrestrial atmosphere, Ky'la apologised to Abigail and went back to working on bettering her image at the Peak.

NATIONAL ENEMY

• A few months later, she managed to win the system's trust and became the official liaison of the Andromeda Galaxy on the newly inaugurated Intergalactic Council of Earth. That's also when she finally managed to make weekly visits to Earth, supervisioned by Brand herself, adopting the alias of Hollow Star and her own uniform. She'd work in the shadows only, afraid of being cornered by authorities once again specially after the registration act put her identity at stake. Aware of her new position and true identity due to connections on the system (SWORD, SHIELD, the Government), Thaddeus Ross scheduled a meeting with her to get her signature to a new project based on the Skrull physiology, which raised her suspicion.

• Aware of the lead it would take, she denied such accordance, invading their laboratories in secret only to find out she had quite the intuition - the government really had a wrong take on the "pure" purposes of the program by making weapons out of such knowledge. First weapon was used by Norman Osborn to kill Queen Veranke herself. Seen as an enemy of the U.S. for plotting against the "Skrull biology" initiative, she dove back into the life of a runaway and abandoned her routine in order to prove her ideals on the correct side of the law. That's when she embraced a male shape and the identity of Irish photographer Jacob Wheeler while taking the time to come up with a plan. It was at this time that she bumped into a small, white dog that appeared to be eating junk food out of a trash can. Instead of taking him home, since she didn't really have a home (runaway amirite), she left him at a shelter. A couple of days later, she finally decided to visit someone who'd help her leave the shadows legally.

• Ky'la's "half-sister" Jazinda, also a rebel and runaway, embraced the bureaucratic fight, gathering documents and researching through holes in the Legal Constitution to protect the Skrulls' rights. She-Hulk herself later joined the improvised team, willing to serve as a lawyer for court confrontations. Thunderbolt Ross soon became Ky'la's living nightmare for toying with the jury at every meeting, turning everyone against her by mentioning the fact she was the daughter of the woman who led the Secret Invasion. After endless researches and court meetings, team Ky'la managed to get ahead of Ross' games.

• Infuriated, Ross scheduled an apparently innocent meeting with Ky'la on the laboratorial sector only to attack her as the Rulk. Jazinda and She-Hulk eventually joined the war zone to end the fight.
  Ky'la held the attack against Ross as a threat to use in the courts - she'd forget it ever happened if the government promised to use the knowledge not for the makings of biological weapons, but for the sake of healthy science. Under her surveillance, of course. The Government soon removed every charge, and all court assignments ended for good. Our Skrull hero was later re-offered her place as an active agent of S.W.O.R.D.

BRIGHT FINGERTIPS

• She had her casual routine back again: studying human culture, training different martial arts, visiting Earth to fight small crime and helping SWORD with the knowledge she gathered from years of intergalactic studies.
  There came a day unlike any other when a hate group, famous for its ruthless deeds against the Skrulls who didn't escape after the Invasion, cornered her. Able to recognize Skrulls, the team rapidly took the upper hand since she refused to fight back. They beat her until her face and limbs were distorted, and they would keep aiming for her upcoming death had it not been by the energy outburst that flew out of her fingertips.

• Without taking any further, the Skrullian Power Beam she carried in her veins estabilished a bond with the dying woman, healing her wounds immediately while her green skin burned a bright shade of yellow. When the authorities arrived, she was already gone, and they quickly arrested the group for once and for all. (Skrull Kill Krew)

• Arriving back to the Peak, Ky'la dismissed the uniform she was early given and told Abigail every tiny detail of what happened down below.

FIRST DEATH

• Aside from being an official scientist allied to the government (temporarily), Ky'la was restituted her previous role. To celebrate the "happy ending", she decided to break free. Abandoning the blonde face of a woman she was not, she took over a human version of her original emerald shape - therefore, her Skrull form would also be of public knowledge from then on. Abigail Brand, who took Ky'la into her office as the new Commander of S.W.O.R.D., recognized her internal efforts.

• Besides her casual workaholic habits, she started to study and meditate to better control the energy that rushed inside of her instead of being a mere unconscious host.

• However, the extensive training and exhaustive work hours took its tool on Ky'la, who had yet another mental breakdown. Unable to tell what this subtle change of mood would trigger to her friend's organism, Abigail locked up under S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance at a secret base in New Jersey. Important names such as Doctor Banner and Doctor Samson helped building the analysis of her new cosmic abilities. The only visits she received were from members of either S.H.I.E.L.D. or S.W.O.R.D.

• Not only did Bruce help on the medication and treatment of her physiology, but he also taught her how to control those inner impulses after she lost her mind during a psychological evaluation. At this time, she fought the Hulk, who fortunately managed to pin her down to avoid further damages. She spent a year working on behalf of her welfare and self-control. Free to go, she took back the role as S.W.O.R.D.'s Commander and even got a call to serve as a special agent for S.H.I.E.L.D., mostly to pose as a spy to make good use of her shapeshifting abilities.

• So far so good, her vigilante actions came to a full stop and the Skrullian Power Beam outbursts disappeared with daily treatment.

BELOVED MAYOR

• Dungston was a small town in Iowa, inhabited by humans and Skrulls living in harmony, with the latter using their abilities of shapeshifting to pass off as normal Earth citizens. These Skrulls originated from a splinter unit that deserted the Skrull Empire after having grown tired of its endless wars, wishing instead to live a quiet and peaceful life. Hawkeye and his allies, Red Wolf and Tilda Johnson, visited Dungston by chance after forced to tow their van. Dungston's inhabitants became suspicious of his visit, and feared they had been discovered. Shortly after, a group of Skrulls arrived to Dungston with the mission to exterminate those deemed traitors of the empire at any cost. In the middle of a stand-off between the hunter unit, the heroes, and the townspeople, the Super-Skrull in charge of the hunter unit started rounding up Dungston's citizens. The intervention of Wheels Wolinski, a human from Hawkeye's team, proved vital to the defeat of the hunters, as he used the combat programming of Hawkeye's van to take down the Super-Skrull. The distraction caused by Wolinski's interference gave the townspeople and the heroes the advantage necessary to fight back and defeat the remaining invaders. [info from Marvel Wikia Archives]

• When S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived at the scene, Hawkeye vouched for Dungston's people to prevent the peaceful Skrull refugees from being arrested. He suggested a trustworthy source to watch over the city, which led Nick Fury to reach out for Ky'la Talos-Spawn (Kl'rt-Spawn back in the day). Persuaded into accepting yet another role, she visited the city (and still does, regularly) and was gladly welcomed by the local Skrulls for being considered their own personal "mockingjay".

• During these days, she bumped into the goddamn white dog again. How he travelled all the way to Iowa she knew not. That's when she finally adopted him since she finally had a place to call home.

CAEDIS AETERNUM

• Although her childhood was problematic, she had her own personal squad, which consisted of her deceased husband K'vvvr, her old complicated lover and handler Yek'zar and a third party; a rogue Skrull called Jezirg. Although close, they stood for different beliefs. Ky'la and K'vvvr didn't work for the cause; they wanted to live a peaceful life after the war. Yek'zar was loyal to the cause and passionate when it came to Queen Veranke; he wanted the Skrull Empire to come above all else. Jezirg motivations were unknown, but he was an opportunity seeker; as long as he was promised a good life, he'd stand for anything.

• The fate of Yek'zar and Jezirg remained unknown ever since they left Tarnax VI. She lost contact with every other Skrull she met prior the war.

• That, however, ended when Dungston was invaded and she was tackled by a Super-Skrull - Yek'zar himself. After a confront she refused to take part in, as always, he dragged her to her old apartment to share of a private conversation. He informed her of his current life as an undercover S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, claiming it was the only way to keep an eye on her. This awakened an old feeling she hid for too long, and only him was capable of bringing it back. Ky'la had turned into a fierce woman, some dare say cold - however, to him, she was just a lonely little girl who sought shelter and something to believe in. They slept together and, the very next morning, he persuaded her into joining him to take back the Empire and shape it at her image.

• He managed to talk her into his plans. She left her dog with Dorelle, local Dungston waitress, and cut connections with S.W.O.R.D./S.H.I.E.L.D. for the time being, claiming something else would need her attention for the next few months. Together, they gathered more Skrulls to form an alliance so that they could invade Tarnax II with a small army up their sleeve.

• They managed to invade and break Kl'rt's barricade quite easily. Taking the throne, Ky'la gave Yek'zar full clearance on leading the troops to do what he found suitable for the reconstruction of the Empire. Her father was then uncaged, forced to serve as her advisor since she wanted him to watch first-hand his disappointment of a "daughter" become the ruler she was born to be.

• Kl'rt, however, knew it wasn't his daughter's work. He saw too much of Veranke in her, which was exactly what Yek'zar always wanted: to turn her into her mother and rule by her side. Refusing to let the man take what was his, including his unofficial spawn, he lured Ky'la into a room and performed the Dard'van to awaken her every memory from the day she was born to the memories she had from Earth. It worked - she opened her eyes at last, but was clearly disappointed on herself for being fooled by Yek'zar.

• With the help of her father, she destroyed the spaceships from the fleet Yek'zar was preparing to lead and tackled him in plain sight. The two wrestled while Kl'rt took down the soldiers who refused to lay low. With Ky'la in the upper hand thanks to the second outburst of the Skrullian Power Beam, Yek'zar attacked her with his ultimate weapon: words. Falsely accepting his upcoming death, he asked her to take him home. She put his  "dying corpse" inside of a spacecraft and traveled to Earth instead, where he used of her moment of distraction to shift into Abigail Brand and fool her long enough to prepare a proper attack. He stabbed her heart and soon stabbed himself. Left to perish, the two eventually died in cold snow.

REBIRTH

• Dying isn't an option. The hole in her chest was sealed closed by Kl'rt himself. Carrying the infamous Skrulliam Power Beam device, he shot his daughter to boost her healing factor and her kin abilities in general. He departed once her wounds healed, her consciousness snapped, and when she opened her eyes, the scenario had changed once again. She was at an unknown beach, strolling around a quiet neighborhood.

• She stopped by a local café, que only place with a living soul, too exhausted to shift into anything but her original form. The owner of the place didn't mind serving her, even complimenting the work she has done as a hero. Glancing at a newspaper, she was startled when noticing the date. It had been two months since she'd last set foot on Earth.

• The man suggested she should join the Avengers since her troubled life wouldn't settle down by itself. Later, it is revealed that the café owner was Jarvis all along when Thor arrives to reinforce the suggestion, turning it into an invitation. Worried about the woman's behavior, Maria Hill had sent Earth's Mightiest Heroes after her since she became an Omega Level Threat.

• Without nothing to lose, she was made an Avenger, also returning to her routine as Mayor of Dungston and even allowing herself to become a dog mom. Paying homage to Kl'rt's deceased firstborn Sarnogg, she named the samoyed Bladogg.

LOVER, LOVER, LOVER

• Here enters the part where she's truly engaged into being a national hero to the point she takes Captain America as an ideal figure and ends up getting involved with him. Unable to dive into another relationship, she decides maybe being one with Earth's Mightiest Heroes isn't really her thing. Before breaking bonds with the Avengers, she leaves a goodbye letter for Steve to read. Angered by how she can't have anything good in her stupid life, she starts growing an uneasy behavior and follows after The Hood to beat the shit out of him for what he did to innocent Skrulls during the Invasion.

• After this incident, she officially steps down from being an avenger. Maria Hill goes after her, finding the Skrull seeking peace in a quiet valley. Their conversation ends once Ky'la shows reluctance to putting up with her bullshit, so Maria claims she'll keep her eye on her and leaves. That's when Ky'la starts craving rehab, seeking Steve as the only one who knows how to work rightness into someone.

• Ends up they have a relapse and spend a night together. The next day, deciding to be alone and to take a coffee break by the Times Square, she is approached by a man whom she easily recognized as her father in human form. Their conversation soon take a strange turn, where the truth is finally spoken: her true father isn't Kl'rt, but Talos the tamed.
• He also hands her documents where it shows that, at first, Abigail's true intentions were to keep Ky'la as an asset and gain information on where other Skrulls were hiding. No wonder Spider-Woman was sent to kill Skrulls back when the Invasion had just ended.

• Shaken by the news, she leaves every connection she once had to Brand, to the Empire and to the Avengers. Watching her from afar, Nick Fury then takes her into his secret underground where her skills can once again be used to underground infiltration. This time, she agrees to the conditions, and submits to Fury's orders without hesitation.
