History

By the mid 21st century, the three spacefaring empires in the Local Group (the Skrull, Kree, and Shi'ar empires) had joined forces and established the Council of Aligned Worlds. They watched Earth for over a century, as the human race was seen as a threat to them all. In the 22nd century, they took over the Milky Way Galaxy. When it appeared as if the human race was going to start establishing colonies outside of the Solar System, the Council of Aligned Worlds took notice. There was much debate but in the end, they decided on a final solution to deal with humanity.

The Skrulls introduced a virus to Earth in the mid 22nd century, a tailor-made plague smuggled into Earth in small containers. Within two days at most, one out of every ten humans had died or were dying. The survivors who were immune tried to mount a resistance, which was crushed. At the end they had wiped out 95% of the human race. The remainder of mankind was enslaved by them.[1]

Captain Marvel who had been traveling the cosmos was unaware of what had happened to Earth. Upon his return he liberated Earth by manipulating the electrical synapses of the occupation forces' brains. Convincing them that he did battle with them, destroying their ground forces on Earth and the armadas sent to destroy him. Threatening their homeworlds with destruction if they ever returned.[2]
