—Brotherhood of Badoon[source]We are the Brotherhood of Badoon! We come from beyond the furthest star---and from a world so ancient it has no name!
The Badoon were notable for having a gender schism, resulting in two separate societies:
- the Brotherhood of Badoon, ruled by a Brother Royal, lived on the planet Moord and founded the Badoon Empire,[2]
- the Sisterhood of Badoon, ruled by a Queen, resided on the Badoon homeworld of Lotiara[3] (Capella System),[4] also known as "Swampworld"), 42.2 light years from Earth.
Additionally, a third major group, known as the Moord or the Fifth Caste of the Badoon, were Badoon tinkered by the Kree similarly to Earth's Inhumans. Those included Badoon of both genders. Like the other components of the Universal Inhuman, the Fifth Caste was led by a Queen.
Badoon have long been allies of Thanos, enslaving lesser evolved civilizations across the galaxy, who were put to work for Thanos as well as the Badoon's barbaric needs. Slaves were taken to their homeworld and placed under the control of the slave trade council.[5] Aliens were kidnapped from their worlds and put them to work on their prison planet.[6]
History
Origin[]
The Badoon were older than the Kree and the Skrulls, having evolved from reptilian ancestors.[7] There was a natural hatred between the two genders, and they fought each other in long gender wars. Eventually, the males won, placing the females in captivity. In time, the males developed technology and abandoned Lotiara, returning only when their mating drive made it necessary. The males became conquerors of worlds, while the females became pacifists, content to remain in peace on their homeworld and ignorant of the males' star-spanning empire.[3]
Among the Brotherhood's attempted conquests were the Zen-Whoberis and the extra-dimensional world of Polemachus.[8] They were known to form alliances with the Brood[9] and the Kree.[10] At the time of the Annihilation Wave, the Badoon controlled 37.7% of the Milky Way galaxy.[11] The Badoon had recently warred with the Skrulls and Kree.[10][12]

Badoon "Inhumans"
The Kree experimented on Badoon to create weapons, changing them into Inhumans. Those experiments involved them consuming one drop of diluted water from the dormant Amphogen, a mutagenic substance able to trigger powers, a process known as Amphogenesis.[13]
Biology[]
The Badoon were a reptilian species.[14] The male Badoon had almost no hair, while female Badoon were often covered in lengthy fur.[3]
They possess inner eyelids and by watching them twitching could determine what the Badoon was thinking.[1] The Badoon also had green blood.[5]
Reproduction[]
Being a reptilian race, the Badoon were oviparous and laid eggs,[15] though they also had some mammalian features. Once every sun cycle, the Badoon would be overcome with a madness to propagate and when members of both sexes began to mate they would force on one another, until ending in a stalemate.[3]
After the eggs were laid, the male Badoon would take them for incubation. If males hatched they would remain with the Brotherhood, if females hatched they would be returned to their mothers.[3] Oil of Atlantean origin was shown to be nourishing to their eggs.[15]
Hybrids[]
The Badoon were able to breed with the female Centaurians.[16] Brother Royale conceived a hybrid daughter with one of his alien slaves.[17]

The defeated males were then removed from Earth by the Sisterhood of Badoon.[20]

When Yondu left his Yaka dagger on Moord in the past of the 21st century, it created a new timeline in which the Badoon discovered this metal and greatly revolutionized their technology. The Badoon searched for more of this metal through space, and a group led by L'Matto came across the Centaurian homeworld which was rich in Yaka metal. The Badoon attacked the Centaurians, and despite the native's best efforts to drive them back the attackers emerged victorious. The Badoon managed to drive the male Centaurians into hiding while capturing the female Centaurians, leading to the rise of the Badoon-Centaurian Hybrids who took over Centauri-IV.[16]

Cultural Traits
The males were militaristic, but the females were pacifists. While the male Badoon were brutal to other races and violent toward their females (and vice versa), the Badoon were gentle and courteous with their pets and beasts of burden.[3] Badoon were a patient race, but their patience had limits.[15] It was a race of hoarders, who gathered objects which they stored in vaults.[17] Badoon had a low opinion of mammals, and believed that mammals were not to be fought but slaughtered.[8] The males among the Badoon enjoyed the hunting and taking of captives, and the fear their victims experienced delighted the Badoon. It was thought of as a sport and enjoyed hunting those foes who gave them a challenge.[14] At least some Badoon show respect towards "any male that can tolerate his female, much less defend her".[43]

Economy[]
The Brotherhood's currency is the Kreull.[56]Representatives
Notes
- When making the Guardians of the Galaxy movie, James Gunn originally intended to use the Badoon, but because they were introduced in the Silver Surfer Comic Books which were a spinoff of the Fantastic Four Comic Books the cinematic rights were owned by the then-separately 20th Century Fox, and as a result Gunn opted to use the Sakaarans instead.[57]
- However, the Badoon appeared in the Marvel's Thor: The Dark World Prelude #1-2, since Marvel Studios still held the Badoon comic book rights.
