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.
