Powers

As a Kree, Ronan is resistant to poison, toxins, and disease. He also has a superhuman strength, endurance, speed, and reflexes. Ronan can normally lift or press around 10 tons, and around 80 tons with his armor on. In his armor, Ronan is provided further protection and strength, along with scanners and a cloaking device. Ronan can fire powerful blasts from his eyes wearing the armor. Devices in his gauntlets allows him to generate cold to put certain lifeforms into suspended animation. In addition, when using his Universal Weapon (a device which uses cosmic energy for a variety of effects according to the wielder's will), Ronan can disintegrate, transmute, and/or rearrange matter. The weapon can also absorb and/or project energy blasts, create "time-motion displacement fields," and achieve interstellar teleportation. The weapon has a built-in failsafe: only Accusers in their armor can safely wield it.

Abilities
Ronan is a highly skilled soldier with military genius. He is a great strategist and interrogator. Having received Kree military combat training, he is well versed in hand-to-hand combat and in the use of Kree technology. He is also an expert on Kree law and practice.

Other Info

Ronan was born into one of aristocratic Kree families (blue-skinned Kree) on the planet Hala. After completing his formal education, Ronan was accepted into the ranks of the Kree Public Accuser Corps (the main law enforcement for the Kree Empire), where he quickly rose through the ranks. During a border incident, he stopped a fleet of Skrull ships from entering Kree space. Thus resulting in Ronan's promotion to "Supreme Public Accuser of the Kree Empire." This made him responsible for enforcing the laws and decrees of the Kree, and second only to the Supreme Intelligence (the Imperial Minister). Therefore, he became known as "Ronan the Accuser." However, as a proud member of the Kree aristocracy, Ronan was not happy taking orders from the Supreme Intelligence. So, at one point, he attempted to cause a civil war; however, that was quickly halted, and he returned to service.

Ronan's first encounter with heroes from Earth was when he was sent on a mission to punish the Fantastic Four for defeating the Kree Inter-Galactic Sentry 459. Ronan made an attack against the Fantastic Four, but was ultimately defeated. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the teams and/or characters.)

During the Kree-Shi'ar War, Ronan joined the Starforce; however, it wasn't long until he quit. (To learn about the event and/or team above, just click on their names.)

Much later, when Earth became intergalactic prison, Ronan served as the warden of the planet. It was later revealed that this was part of an elaborate trap by the Supreme Intelligence to subvert the Galactic Council and use Ego the Living Planet as a weapon. However, even though Ronan was able to elevate his power by tapping into Ego's own energy, he was eventually defeated when Mister Fantastic, Iron Man, Giant-Man (Hank Pym), and Bruce Banner managed to create a machine that transferred Ego's essence into Quasar instead; thus, weakening Ronan. (To learn about the highlighted event, and/or characters above, just click on their names.)

At one point, Ronan was falsely accused of treason and was stripped of his "Accuser" rank by a House Fiyero (a group that was ruling the Kree at the time). Therefore, in order to clean his name, he sought the one who testified against him: Tana Nile. Ronan eventually found her on Godthab Omega as part of Gamora's team known as the Graces. His arrival eventually led to a fight between Ronan and Gamora. However, their battle had no winner as it was interrupted by the invasion of Annihilus and his Annihilation Wave. Both Ronan and Gamora ended up joining Nova and his United Front to fight against the Wave for a time. At one point, Ronan returned to Hala with his sworn enemy Kl'rt (Super-Skrull) and Praxagora to dethrone the House Fiyero who were planning to side with Ravenous and Annihilus. After knocking Ravenous unconscious and killing the House Fiyero, Ronan attempted to locate the Supreme Intelligence, only to find that Fiyero had lobotomized it. In an act of mercy, Ronan killed the Supreme Intelligence. Upon exiting the chambers, the Kree people unanimously cheered and called on him to become their new emperor. Later, when Ravenous came back to Hala with a stronger force, Ronan led a violent attack on Ravenous' fleet. Then, after the massive destruction of the Annihilation Wave by Galactus, Ronan participated in the forging of a treaty between the United Front and Ravenous that ceded certain Kree territories, and all of the former Skrull Empire, in order to end the hostilities.

Later, the Kree were invaded and cut off from the rest of the universe by the Phalanx, led by Ultron. Ultron used a form of the Technarchy transmode virus to infect/create a team of super-soldiers, known as the Phalanx Select--Ronan became one of them. However, he was eventually freed of the Phalanx's influence when Wraith pummeled Ronan. Now free of their control, Ronan, along with Wraith, Kl'rt, Praxagora, and Ra-Venn, made his way to the former Kree capitol: Kree-Lar. Ronan attempted to activate the 15,000 Kree Sentries beneath the palace; however, Ultron, ended up taking control of the sentries himself and formed a new body. Fortunately, after descending to the surface, they all helped in the defeat of  Ultron, by having Wraith use his Exolons to trap Ultron. With the Phalanx defeated, Ronan was left to pick up the pieces of the Kree Empire. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the races, characters, team, and/or place.

Later on, Medusa of the Inhumans tried to establish an alliance between the Inhumans and the Kree to help find their leader, Black Bolt, from the Skrulls. Ronan agreed to help them in exchange for Crystal's hand in marriage. They agreed, and Ronan provided them with information regarding the Skrull communications network. Seeking revenge, the Inhumans attacked the Skrulls and destroyed their fleeing vessels. However, after the attack on the Skrulls, the Inhumans turned on the Kree and invaded their empire. Eventually being defeated, Ronan was forced to kneel before Black Bolt as the new ruler of the Kree Empire. To bring their two races closer together, the marriage of Ronan and Crystal (of the Inhuman Royal Family) was still planned to proceed. However, when Ronan overheard Crystal talking about how she saw the marriage as just a political affair, Ronan was disappointed and heart-broken. Then on their wedding day, they were attacked by the Shi'ar and the Imperial Guard who were serving under Emperor Vulcan. As Crystal was being attacked, Ronan came to save her, but he was double-teamed and gravely injured. Thus, began the War of Kings. During the ensuing War, Crystal actually stayed by Ronan's side, watching over him and relaying information about the War. She also confirmed to him that their wedding ceremony was completed and that they were truly married. Over time, feelings began to grow between Ronan and Crystal. (Click on the highlighted names above to learn about the characters, races, team, and/or event. Note: Beware of the form-fitting outfits and/or reveling outfits on Medusa and Crystal's bio pages.)

At one point, Ronan was chosen by Nova to be a part of his cosmic heavy hitters to launch a sneak attack on the evil Magus. But, even with the help of the Silver Surfer, Gladiator, Quasar, and Beta Ray Bill, they couldn't stop him. Then, towards the end of the War, Blackbolt detonated the Terrigen-Bomb which punched a hole in space/time known as The Fault--a doorway to a universe analogous to our own where there is no death (aka the Cancerverse). The first creature to come through was a giant squid that instinctively attacked the Inhuman city of Attilan. Ronan and the others fought off the invading forces of the Cancerverse at the Fault. At one point, they learned of Star-Lord's wish to have them form a team of the strongest in the universe to guard it. Therefore, Ronan and the others joined forces to become a team known as the Annihilators. (To learn about the highlighted characters, places, event,

The Annihilators first threat came in the form of the Dire Wraith sorcerer Doctor Dredd. They struggled to defeat him until Ronan absorbed the energies of the sorcerer and knocked him out with his Universal Weapon. However, it was soon revealed that Dredd was a Skrull imposter named Klobok. (To learn about the race and/or characters above, just click on their highlighted names.)

More recently, Ronan the Accuser and the Supreme Intelligence appeared as members of the Galactic Council.

  1. It will be interesting to see what his role in the movie actually is. In the trailers, it appears that Ronan is used as a replacement for some of the terrible things done by Thanos. Will they really change it, or is Ronan going to be used as a scapegoat? Can't wait to find out =)
