Biography
Zak-Del was a male blue Kree who was the son of the brilliant scientist named Sim-Del and his wife. His father had developed a power source that could have brought light to an entire galaxy. However, the merchant houses in the empire opposed this and sought to ban his research. As a result, Sim-Del and his family relocated to a barren planetoid in the Bennazar Rift where he used the power source to turn the world into a paradise for himself along with his family. Sim-Del sought to share his knowledge with the rest of the universe but a faction within the Kree empire decided to terminate him where they sent a death squad to eliminate him. Sim-Del and his wife managed to hide their son Zak-Del before they were killed with the boy witnessing his parents demise. He was on a ship that fell into a wormhole to the Exoteric Latitude that was the space of the Nameless. (Annihilation: Conquest - Wraith v1 #2)
