Marvel is a huge universe created by brilliant filmmakers and animators. For decades, the whole world has been in love with Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, X-Men, and many other superheroes and supervillains. Films and animated series created by Marvel Studios are watched not only by children, but also by adults. The box office of the cult Avengers: Infinity War franchise has recently stepped over the $ 2 billion bar - an all-time box office record for superhero movies.
Over the years of its existence, the Marvel Universe has grown significantly. Not only new superheroes constantly appear in it, but also whole worlds, universes and life forms. Some of which are given undeservedly little attention. One of these races is the Kriyas - "Marvel" mentions them only in rare episodes. Get to know him better?
History of creation
For the first time, the Kriyas were found in 1967 in comics dedicated to the adventures of the fantastic four. In addition, Kriyas are in the comics "Agents" Shch.I.T. "," Guardians of the Galaxy "and" Captain Marvel. The creation of the Kriya race, the Marvel Studios, was due to Jack Kirby and Stan Lee.
Who are the Kriyas?
This is an alien race with a low level of technological development. The flights in outer space of Kriya were stolen from the Skruls, who were previously considered deities. In general, the Kriyas are quite hostile towards other worlds. They have existed for many millennia, appeared supposedly simultaneously with people. The home planet of Kriya is Hala, located in the twin galaxy of the Earth Magellanic Cloud. Almost all Kriyas technology is stolen, successfully introducing on its planet. True, they are well advanced in genetic engineering in an attempt to create ideal soldiers.
Appearance and Physiology
Kriyas are very similar to humans. They are distinguished only by the blue color of the skin and the presence of only four fingers. They are more resilient and stronger than people. This is due to the fact that on the planet Hala the living conditions are more severe than on Earth.
For normal breathing, Kriya needs nitrogen. The growth of Kriya can vary from one and a half to two meters. Rare individuals grow more than two meters. In the comics, Kriyas with pink skin are often found - this is the result of interracial marriages, which they began to conclude in order to circumvent the ban on the development of Kriyas.
Skrulls, Kotati and Kriyas
According to the legend of the Marvel Universe, Kriya peacefully coexisted with another humanoid race of Kotati (humanoids with plant features). They shared the planet Hala.
Everything changed when the Skruls flew to the planet Hala to select a representative of the planet Hala for the intergalactic community. Nobody wanted to make concessions. Then the Skriy, whom the Kriyas and Kotati deified, were invited to send representatives of both civilizations to the moon so that they built the city. According to the Kriya version, they began to diligently build the city, while Kotati simply went to bed. When it came time to show work, it turned out that the city of Kriya was good, but Kotati in a dream could grow a whole forest. The victory went to Kotati. In anger, Kriyas killed all Kotati and Skriy who flew to Hala, and the Skrul ship was stolen. So the Kree learned to fly into space. Having reached the Skrul, they started the First Skrul and Kriya War.
Empire and political system
After the Krians mastered interstellar flights and got involved in the Skrul war, they very quickly began to expand their empire. Kriyas in Marvel managed to conquer a thousand worlds in the northwestern part of the Magellanic Cloud galaxy. Despite the fact that a race was born on Hale, they decided to transfer their capital of Kriy to the planet Kri-Lar in the Turunal star system.
The political system of Kriya is a rigid dictatorship. The race is controlled by the Higher Mind - a special program that generates decisions based on the experience and skills of all the great Kriyas.
Kriyas in comics
The most famous character is Captain Marvel - Kriya, who sided with earthlings and opposed the constant enmity of Kriy and Skrul. Captain Marvel was sent to Earth in order to study earthlings and their technologies. Soon, he realizes that he does not want to engage in theft and constant war. Captain Marvel gets out of the control of the Higher Mind and challenges Kriya. Now he is one of the defenders of the Earth. Like the Avengers, he fights with the central antagonist of the Marvel universe, Thanos. It is expected that soon a film will be released in which the role of Captain Marvel will be played by Jude Law.
The second known Kree from the Marvel movie is Ronan the Prosecutor. He knows the audience from the Guardians of the Galaxy movie. He is the son of Thanos, an aristocrat and one of the commanders of the Kriya army. In the first film, he is the main villain; in an attempt to conquer the planet, Xander was killed by the "guards".
Noh Warr is another famous Kriya from Marvel. Known for his participation in The Dark Avengers. Subsequently, he will become one of the land graders, but not of his own free will, but after the agents of S.H.I.T. The head of the agency decides to take advantage of the extraordinary abilities of the young alien and puts him before a choice: either he helps, or until the end of his life he sits in the Cube prison.
In the Marvel Universe, Kriyas are firmly in the position of anti-heroes, however, among them there are good-natured guys who are ready to help earthlings in difficult times. Becoming the new Captain Marvel, Noh Warr is imbued with love for people and soon becomes one of the most interesting characters in the Marvel comics, and comic book fans compare him with such famous characters as Superman and Iron Man. Unfortunately, the series of publications is limited and ends only a year later.
