David Mark Morrissey (born 21 June 1964) is an English actor and director. Morrissey grew up in the Kensington and Knotty Ash areas of Liverpool. He learned to act at the Everyman Youth Theatre, alongside Ian Hart, Mark and Stephen McGann, and Cathy Tyson. At the age of 18, he and Hart were cast in the television series One Summer (1983), which won them recognition throughout the country. After making One Summer, Morrissey attended the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art before acting with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre. Throughout the 1990s, he often portrayed policemen and soldiers, though took other defining roles such as Bradley Headstone in Our Mutual Friend (1998) and Christopher Finzi in Hilary and Jackie (1998). More film parts followed, including roles in Some Voices (2000) and Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001), before he played the critically acclaimed roles of Stephen Collins in State of Play (2003) and Gordon Brown in The Deal (2003). The former won him a nomination at the British Academy Television Awards and the latter a Best Actor award at the Royal Television Society Awards. His film roles have not always been acclaimed; his appearance as the male lead in Basic Instinct 2 (2006) was widely criticised, and The Reaping (2007) bombed at the box office. Since then, he has had leading roles in Sense and Sensibility (2008), Red Riding (2009) and Five Days (2010), acted in the films Nowhere Boy (2009) and Centurion (2010), and produced and starred in the crime drama Thorne (2010).

The Kree a human-like alien race from the planet Hala. They had evolved for eons under the red solar radiation of Rao, the red sun that Hala orbits. Because of this, Kreetonians are capable of absorbing yellow sunlight at an accelerated rate and developing supernatural abilities from this influence, but since too much exposure to yellow sunlight causes deadly mutations (such as red skin, insanity, and death), the Kree have resolved to never leave Hala until they can develop a cure to “yellow sun poisoning”. More than 70 years ago, the Kree had been locked in a deadly war with the Skrultians Skrulls, shape-shifting aliens from Skrullos. The Kree believed that the war was theirs, but the treacherous Skrulls discovered the planet-consuming behemoth known as Galactus roaming their spaceways. The Skrulls led Galactusto the Kree's’ home planet of Hala, and the techno-titan proceeded to absorb the planet’s data and convert its mass into energy for him to consume. Unable to repel Galactiac, the capital city of Kree-Lar and all of its residentsescaped the planet in a rocket-propelled capsule. In modern times, the shrunken city and all of its Kryptonian inhabitants, sustained by an artificial, miniature red sun, are being looked after by Captain America a human hero with the superhuman powers, until they can find a new habitable planet so they can restore themselves.
