Badoon

History

Overview

They were notable for having a gender schism, resulting in two separate societies: the Brotherhood of Badoon (ruled by a Brother Royal) and the Sisterhood of Badoon (ruled by a Queen).^[2]

The Brotherhood lived on the planet Moord,^[3], while the Sisterhood resided on the Badoon homeworld of Lotiara^[2] (Capella System),^[4] also known as 'Swampworld'), 42.2 light years from Earth. The planet Sqazzl was in Badoon space.^[5]

Origin

The Badoon were older than the Kree and the Skrulls. 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.^[2]

Among the Brotherhood's attempted conquests were the Zen-Whoberis and the extra-dimensional world of Polemachus.^[6] They were known to form alliances with the Brood^[7] and the Kree.^[8] At the time of the Annihilation Wave, the Badoon controlled 37.7% of the Milky Way galaxy.^[9]

Badoon Society

At least some Badoon show respect "any male that can tolerate his female, much less defend her".^[10]

Among the known Badoon Gods was Voord Bloodeye, God of Beheading, who was killed 500 years ago by Gorr the God Butcher^[15] (it is unknown if he was of the Swamp Gods).
