Biography

The Super-Skrull in Fantastic Four v1 #18.

Kl'rt

Whilst serving as a warrior, he was noted for being instrumental in a victory at the Battle of Harkoon. Upon his return, he was rewarded for his achievement by becoming betrothed to a countess who bore him a son named Sarnogg. (Annihilation: Super-Skrull v1 #3) From the mating, he also gained a daughter by the name of Jazinda. (She-Hulk v2 #32) This was in addition to his son with him caring deeply for his offspring. (She-Hulk v2 #33) Despite his care, he desired more a return to the battlefield and thus spent little time with his family on the colony of Zaragz’na. Over time, he began to suffer an increasing number of defeats that outweighed his victories. This resulted in the countess spurning him and leading to his banishment from the colony where he was denied a chance to see his children. (Annihilation: Super-Skrull v1 #3)

He was next summoned by the Skrull Emperor Dorrek VII to take part in the Super-Skrull program. This was an effort to create a superpowered agent with the abilities of all the members of the Fantastic Four. With these powers, he was dispatched to Earth in order to defeat the band of heroes and conquer the planet. (Fantastic Four v1 #2)

During the Annihilation War, the fierce Annihilation Wave emerged from their dimension of the Negative Zone in order to invade the positive-matter universe. Their path took them through Skrull space where one of their target worlds was Aks'lo that was once the jewel in the crown of the empire that was a garden world and wildlife sanctuary once enjoyed by the empress along with her trusted advisors. The Super-Skrull along with an army of fellow warriors laid in hiding on the surface where they disguised themselves as vegetation in order to ambush the insectoid Annihilation Wave when they arrived on the surface. The other warriors were massacred but the Super-Skrull put up a fight but was forced to flee when he witnessed the enemy bringing their superweapon known as the Harvester of Sorrows that converted the world into organic mass to be consumed after which it was destroyed. Kl'rt charted the path of the weapon that was heading to the core worlds and towards Zaragz'na which was where his son resided. This saw him rendezvous with the nearest fleet that belonged to the warlord Baroness S'ybak where he petitioned for a fleet to confront the weapon. However, she had no desire to send her forces as she feared she would be weakened and thus become a target of a rival warlord. Kl'rt then asked to be sent alone with a small force of warriors with the Baroness simply scoffing at his request and insulting him based on his previous failures. In a rage, he attacked her and thus became declared a traitor to the empire but he was rescued by a Skrull mechanic R'Kin where the Super-Skrull decided to assemble an army from the ranks of the Negative Zone to defeat the Harvester of Sorrows. To journey to that dimension, he went to Earth where he met with Reed Richards at the Baxter Building and told him of his mission with Mr. Fantastic opening the Negative Zone portal leading to the Skrulls journeying through it to continue their mission. (Annihilation: Super-Skrull v1 #1) Within the Zone, he targeted Annihilation Wave ships in order to find a weakness to the superweapon and came to learn of its creator who was a scientist that served as commandant to a prison asteroid planetoid. The Super-Skrull attacked the facility and captured Hawal whereupon his prisoners attempted to get revenge against their captor. However, Kl'rt refused to allow Hawal to be killed as he had need of him and thus defeated the prisoners led by Praxagora where they swore their allegiance to him. (Annihilation: Super-Skrull v1 #2) This resulted in Kl'rt assembling the prisoners as a small army which he intended to use to strike at the Harvester of Sorrows. Hawal was forced to create a virus to destroy the superweapon and they returned to the positive matter universe to launch their attack as the Annihilation Wave fleet approached Zaragz'na with R'kin volunteering to pilot the missile ship at the living weapon. Super-Skrull and his allies fought the invaders attempting to bid R'kin time but it never occurred with them being captured. They were brought before the Annihilation Wave leader Admiral Salo with it being revealed that R'kin had betrayed Kl'rt to the enemy allowing the Harvvester of Sorrows to destroy the Skrull world. This led to his son Sarnogg being killed and Kl'rt vowing to avenge his child. (Annihilation: Super-Skrull v1 #3)

Kl'rt's body was later brought to the world of Daedalus 5 by Praxagora where he was seemingly deceased at a time when the Annihilation Wave attacked the world. However, he revived and recovered the unconscious bodies of Ronan the Accuser and Firelord thus saving them just in time as Annihilus used the captive Galactus to destroy the world. The Super-Skrull was with the United Front forces gathered by Nova Richard Rider when he was recruited by Ronan to assist him in freeing the Kree empire from the control of House Fiyero. (Annihilation v1 #3)

He later travelled to the restored Sakaar where he recovered the Time Stone with him looking to recover the remaining Infinity Stones so as to remove the humiliation the Skrull Empire had experienced in the cosmos. (Infinity Countdown Prime v1 #1)

A new threat to the Skrull empire emerged from the Cotati who had re-organised themselves into a force that intended to purge the universe of all animal races. This involved them attacking both the Skrull and Kree empires who came to see that they had a common foe that threatened them. Efforts by the Kree Bel-Dann and the Skrull Raksor led to the formation of the Alliance that looked to combat the Cotati. However, they needed a figure that they could rally behind and unite the two races with this ultimately being Hulkling. (Empyre v1 #2) Dorrek VIII was convinced to help end the bloodshed by assuming the mantle of Emperor with the Super-Skrull becoming one of his close advisors. (Lords of Empyre: Emperor Hulkling v1 #1)

Overview

Personality and attributes

It was said that when Jazinda was young that he was proud of her. This changed by the time she reached adulthood where he swore he would kill her if he ever encountered her again. (She-Hulk v2 #32) The reason was because she had broken sacrosanct laws of their race that brought great dishonour to both him and her. However, in reality, it was because he valued his dead son more than his daughter and thus resented her for living whilst he had died. Despite that, he did care for her and loved her but could not admit to doing so. It was for this reason that he ultimately spared her life but wanted a lie to cover up his reasons. (She-Hulk v2 #33)
