History
Origin
The Dire Wraith origins were traced to the Skrull species where some of their kind practiced the arts of magic and the arcane. This group were eventually hated by their rest of their race who considered them to be a deviant offshoot of their own kind. Eventually, the early Dire Wraiths were driven from the Skrull homeworld where they departed to the feared Dark Nebula where they settled on the planet known as Wraithworld. The Skrulls themselves came to consider the Dire Wraiths to be an abomination and sought to eradicate them whenever they were encountered. However, they were unable to assault the Dire Wraiths who were well protected in the Dark Nebula where their sorcerous powers were supreme.
A group of Dire Wraiths were experimented on by the Kree alongside some Badoon, Centaurians and Kymellians to create the Universal Inhumans. (Fantastic Four v1 #577)

Notes
- The Dire Wraiths were created by Bill Mantlo and Al Milgrom.
- On Earth-98226, the species are multi-eyed insectile beings with a black carapace and multiple legs along with a long tail. These Dire Wraiths burrow into the skull of a victim and take control of them with this parasitic control not being detectable by most means. The only trace of possession was a small scar under the hairline of a victim and it was not possible to separate the creature from the body without killing the host. In this reality, the Spaceknights hunt down these creatures but these Dire Wraiths are more effective in escaping detection. (Timeslip The Collection v1 #1)
