History
K'rll was a member of the alien race called the Deonists. The Deonists worshiped a powerful celestial being that supplied energy to their world's fragile ecosystem in exchange for feeding off the psionic energy generated by the Deonists as they worshiped him. After the Deonists' god perished after fending off an attacking alien armada, the Deonists, now calling themselves the Soul-Survivors, were forced to capture gods of great power and use their energy to continue supplying their ecosystem with energy. The extraction process always killed the god after his or her energy was exhausted.[1]
When the Soul-Survivors kidnapped the Asgardian All-father Odin as their next sacrifice, Thor and several other Asgardians searched for Odin.[2] When confronted by the Asgardians, K'rll hooked himself into a machine called the Spirit-Mold that allowed him to tap into the power from their batteries and manifest a psionic construct that he could control from within the Spirit-Mold. By harnessing the Odin-Force that had been stored in the batteries, K'rll created a construct made of pure Odin-Force.[1]
This Odin-creature attacked the Asgardians and defeated them all except for Volstagg. When the construct then attacked Volstagg, the Asgardian used his mysterious new power and fired a blast of energy that hurt the Odin-creature. The act of fighting Volstagg's new power caused the stored Odin-Force to be depleted and, without energy, the construct dissipated, causing a feedback through the Soul-Survivors' systems that destroyed them. An enraged K'rll ran in screaming about how the Asgardians had destroyed everything and that he would kill them all but he was quickly silenced by Thor. Further violence was averted when Odin returned to life after Volstagg used his power on him. It was later determined that a dying Odin had acted to save himself by secretly transferring his remaining strength to Volstagg since, as long as the Odin-Force lived, Odin could not truly die. Without the machinery needed to drain the energies of gods, the Soul-Survivors' world became uninhabitable, forcing them to leave.[3]
K'rll later attached himself to the Spirit-Mold to create the Soul-Eater construct after modifying the machine to tap the life force of his fellow Soul-Survivors, which wiped them all out. Ever since then, Soul-Eater searched the cosmos looking for places of death to feed off souls of the deceased. He was near the center of the Kree Empire as the Kree/Shi'ar War was reaching its end. He came upon the Kree throneworld of Hala where the Supreme Intelligence detonated a Nega-Bomb that to stimulate Kree evolution at the cost of billions of Kree lives. Soul-Eater fed off the souls of the deceased Kree and grew exponentially in power.[4]
Quasar was sent by the Mourners to investigate why the deceased Kree hadn't passed on into the afterlife. Quasar was accompanied by the Eternal Makkari and the artificial being Her. They encountered Soul-Eater and were overwhelmed by the villain's tremendous power. After defeating the heroes, the Soul-Eater targeted the cosmic being Origin who was in the process of being reborn. Quasar managed to enter Soul-Eater and encountered the souls of the Kree killed by the Nega-Bomb. Quasar convinced the souls to resist Soul-Eater, thereby causing Soul-Eater to lose cohesion and eventually explode.[5]Attributes
