In the name of all our murdered comrades, I hereby declare war.
~ Noh-Varr.

Noh-Varr is a fictional character, and a comic book superhero appearing in publications by Marvel Comics.

Noh-Varr was the youngest member of a Kree diplomatic team that was blown out of the sky after reaching Earth. Noh-Varr was the only one who survived. He then vowed vengeance on all mankind but was later tasked with protecting them in the name of the Kree, becoming Captain Marvel and later the Protector. After being forced out of the Avengers, he would then become a part of the Young Avengers.

He was created by Grant Morrison and J.G. Jones, and first appeared in Marvel Boy (Vol. 2) #1 in June of 2000.

Biography[]

Imprisoned[]

Genetically engineered with cockroach DNA, the extradimensional Kree Noh-Varr joined the 18th Kree Diplomatic Gestalt, a team of intergalactic peacekeepers who became lost in transdimensional space when they encountered 3 astro-gods siphoning energy to explore Hypospace (the Omniverse). During the encounter, space-time collapsed, and the group was forced to escape through Macrospace. They careened through the Microverse and explored a multitude of realities while trapped there, until the alien-obsessed Midas caught their S.O.S., trapped them on Earth-616, and destroyed their ship. The sole survivor, Noh-Varr escaped Midas and destroyed his building before retreating to the New York subway system, which he made his temporary home. The enraged Noh-Varr, who had lost his lover Merree in the crash, took his aggression out on New York City, battling S.H.I.E.L.D. and their new experimental superteam, the Bannermen, a team of genetically enhanced superhumans pumped with gamma radiation and laced with Adamantium, whom he easily defeated. After destroying the living, planet-conquering corporation Hexus by sending their trade secrets to other companies and making them obsolete, Noh-Varr met Midas' head assassin and daughter, Exterminatrix.

Battling the Exterminatrix and Midas throughout New York City, Noh-Varr lost. Midas was about to kill him when Exterminatrix rescued Noh-Varr and escaped with him. Noh-Varr and Exterminatrix bonded over their mutual hatred for her father before Midas' agents, including one of the Dark Dimension's Mindless Ones, discovered them, forcing them to flee once more. Encountering the Cosmic Man, a renamed and newly empowered Midas, Noh-Varr immediately shot him in the head, which barely affected him. As Cosmic Man toyed with Noh-Varr, Exterminatrix used the decapitated Mindless One's head to shunt her father into the Dark Dimension, where he was attacked and seemingly killed by a large horde of the Mindless Ones. While Exterminatrix mourned her father, S.H.I.E.L.D. captured Noh-Varr and dragged him away to the Cube, a giant prison for super-villains, which Noh-Varr promised would be the capital of the new Kree empire within five months.

Redemption[]

Due to a misunderstanding the two teams battled each other but came to a halt when they realized they were on the same side. Meanwhile, Noh-Varr has had his mind abused by the warden of the Cube so that he thought the warden was Plex. Maria Hill asked the warden to use Noh-Varr to track down the Runaways and bring them in. Noh-Varr followed his orders, believing the warden to be Plex telling him what to do. Noh-Varr quickly tracked down both teams and broke Xavin's neck before they realized he was there. Noh-Varr then went to beating both the Runaways and the Young Avengers by himself. During the battle, Vision phased his arm into Noh-Varr's chest, but Noh-Varr ripped Vision's arm off leaving it stuck in his chest. The warden then captured Wiccan, Hulkling, Karolina, and Xavin while Noh-Varr was about to defeat the remaining members. But before he could the Warden called him back and they returned to the Cube. The remaining members of the Runaways and the Young Avengers showed up at the Cube and attempted to free their friends. Noh-Varr was once again sent in to battle both teams, but when Victor got close to the Vision, it sent his circuitry going wild which stunned Noh-Varr. Vision then suggested they help "Fix" Noh-Varr. Noh-Varr then took over the Cube, making the Warden his "slave" and claiming it to be the Capital City of the New Kree Empire.

Secret Invasion[]

Noh-Varr has continued his control over the Cube, by making the Warden his minion, forcing him to make his routine reports to Maria Hill. Noh-Varr has also upload as much of Plex as he could into the Cube's mainframe, trying to restore it. Plex has been using the Omniwave to make everyone in the Cube Noh-Varr's allies. While talking with one of the prisoners, Brick, he suddenly turned on Noh-Varr. Noh-Varr quickly realized that the Omniwave had been shut down and the prisoners had began to riot. He quickly defeats Brick and looks for the cause of the Omniwave failing. Noh-Varr ends up finding the Warden has been killed, by a Skrull. Noh-Varr easily kills the Skrull and leaves the Cube, no longer having a need for it.

Fleeing the cube on a S.H.I.E.L.D. minijet, Noh-Varr was flying over a mall when a Skrull Ship crashed and exploded in the parking lot below him. Landing down at the crash scene, Noh-Varr saw an injured Captain Marvel walking out of the explosion. Noh-Varr helped him lay down where Captain Marvel begged

Noh-Varr to help save the Earth from the Skrull Invasion. Noh-Varr appeared to be taking the dying words of Captain Marvel to heart, but was stunned when he reverted back to his natural Skrull form. Making his decision, Noh-Varr flew off on his mini jet towards Manhattan where the real battle for Earth was taking place between the Skrull Empire and Earth's Superhumans. Flying into the middle of the battle, Noh-Varr crashes his mini jet, causing an explosion and taking out some skrulls in the process. Walking out of the explosion, Noh-Varr declared his side by stating the war was over in the name of Captain Marvel and the Kree Empire.

Noh-Varr is then later shown taking to the skies to take out some Skrull Warships alongside Thor and some other flying heroes of Earth. His next appearance is him holding some Skrull Warriors hostage next to Hulkling, Hawkeye, and Wiccan of the Young Avengers at the end of the Invasion.
