Lauri-Ell is a Kree soldier of the Kree/Skrull Alliance, as well as the half-sister of Carol Danvers, the super hero better known as Captain Marvel.[1] Lauri-Ell and Carol first crossed paths during the Cotati invasion of Earth, after which Lauri-Ell took possession of the Universal Weapon and became Emperor Hulkling's Accuser.[2][3]
History
Lauri-Ell was a soldier artificially bred by scientists of the Kree. She was created from the DNA of two powerful Kree Soldiers, one of which was Mari-Ell. Because of this, Lauri-Ell was the half-sister of Carol Danvers, the half-human, half-Kree super hero called Captain Marvel. A powerful warrior herself, Lauri-Ell was designed to be an excellent soldier. Even though fighting came naturally to Lauri-Ell, she hated waging conflict.[1]
During the early days of the Kree/Skrull Alliance, Lauri-Ell was stationed in K'in-Al, an experimental sanctuary where citizens of the former enemy empires were to live together in peace.[4] The city's existence was short-lived due to its destruction at the hands of the Kree-hating human Wastrel. Lauri-Ell was the only survivor of the explosion, and the blame for it befell on her.[5] When Captain Marvel, who had become the Alliance's new Accuser, arrived at the scene, Lauri-Ell surrendered and accepted her execution despite claiming to be innocent. Using the Universal Weapon to probe Lauri-Ell's mind, Carol found out her parentage, which Lauri-Ell had avoided disclosing to spare Carol of the guilt of killing her own half-sister. Carol became convinced that Lauri-Ell was innocent, and took her to Earth for her protection until she found the true culprit.[1]
On Earth, Lauri-Ell joined forces with Carol to combat invading Cotati forces, allowing the two sisters to bond.[4] Captain Marvel eventually returned to K'in-Al and managed to apprehend Wastrel with the help of her allies. In the meantime, Lauri-Ell had decided to help stop another Cotati attack in which one of the victims was Carol's friend Kit Renner.[5] Lauri-Ell was joined by Carol and her allies. During the fight, Carol was overpowered by Cotati soldiers and lost grip of her Universal Weapon. The hammer called to Lauri-Ell, and she wielded it. Lauri-Ell's perfect harmonization with the hammer signaled her potential to become an Accuser herself. After defeating the Cotati, Lauri-Ell returned the hammer to Carol so she could fulfill her promise to use it to put an end to the Cotati invasion.[2] Following the end of the Cotati's Empyre, Emperor Hulkling of the Alliance appointed Lauri-Ell his new chief Accuser in place of Carol.[3] A few weeks later, Lauri-Ell paid Carol a visit at the Danvers' summer home in Harpswell so she could pay her respects at Mari-Ell's grave.[2]
As the Emperor's Accuser, Lauri-Ell accompanied Hulkling and his consort Wiccan in their honeymoon at the Starbeaches. When the symbiote god Knull tried to take over the galaxy, he sent the symbiote-possessed members of an Alliance expedition to kill Hulkling. As the planet was besieged by Symbiote Dragons and the symbiote-possessed crewmates, Lauri-Ell and Wiccan helped Hulkling to conduct a mass evacuation of Little Chandilar's patrons, leading their fleet of ships to safety.[6]
After Carol broke up with War Machine, her best friend Spider-Woman saw she fell into depression so she decided to bring Spectrum, Hazmat and Lauri-Ell for a girls' night out. They began the night with speed dating, before snake-cat hybrids and sexy wizards arrived to attack. Carol was dissatisfied with how things turned out and left for a bar in Hell's Kitchen.[7]
During Dormammu's invasion of the Throneworld, Lauri-Ell and the Alliance army fended off countless Mindless Ones teleporting there. She informed the Emperor of the situation, and telling him that despite their best efforts, they were slowly being overwhelmed.[8] Thankfully, Dormammu and his forces were later defeated with the help of the Guardians of the Galaxy.[9]
Carol and James eventually reformed their relationship and decided to go on a trip together. However, as they were about to depart for Bermuda, Lauri appeared before the couple with the news that the genetic materials of notable Kree warriors, including their mother's, had been mysteriously stolen, and needed Carol's help to find the culprit. She brought them to a Kree laboratory in the Throneworld where they began investigating. The trio went to the lab's sewers where they were confronted by the Sludge, a Kree microorganism designed to eat lab waste. It revealed it had consumed the genetic materials when it took the form of Mar-Vell. It then attempted to infect Lauri's Weapon and James' armor, leaving Carol to disintegrate it. With the mystery solved, they were forced to remain in quarantine for at least three days before they could resume their regular activities.[10]
Lauri was later contacted by her sister as she was being attacked by a group of people controlled by Vox Supreme. She teleported to her location, where Carol handed Lauri an incapacitated Ms. Marvel and instructed her bring the young heroine to Tony Stark and keep her safe.[11] Carol managed to free her friends from Vox's control on New Hala, but as they were being overwhelmed by the Super-Inhuman's other forces Lauri, along with Ms. Marvel, the Avengers and the Guardians arrived to her aid.[12]
During the ensuing battle, Lauri and Carol discovered that the other individuals serving Vox were actually pieces of the Sludge. This prompted Carol to have Lauri bring her Spectrum, Iron Man, Star-Lord, Moondragon and Black Panther to tell them her plan. This plan involved creating a machine that would allow them to send a psychic beam that would neutralize all of the Sludge's bodies. The plan worked as all of Vox's forces crumbled and fell apart, and alongside Iron Man and War Machine, Lauri contained the pieces within sonic fields before they could reform. Emperor Hulkling, who was also present to help, requested Lauri to preserve the copy of Mar-Vell as he wished to take back his father's genetic material so he could give him a proper burial. While Carol and her energy duplicate were away to finally deal with Vox Supreme, Lauri and Hulkling went back to Throneworld with the Sludge contained.[13]
Wanting to teach her duplicate, now named Binary, about life Carol invited Lauri and her friends to party together in Las Vegas. Lauri accepted the invitation and brought Hazmat, Spider-Woman and She-Hulk to a night club where Carol, Spectrum and Binary awaited them. They partied all night long, until the place started closing. The friends called it quits, and Lauri teleport herself, Carol and Binary back to her sister's apartment. However, as the girls accommodated themselves, Carol all of a sudden disappeared,[14] having been taken by Agatha Harkness and the Enchantress to be trialed for stripping Ove of his magic powers.[15]
Lauri and the others went looking for her,[16] but when she saw Binary impersonating Carol she came to believe that she had done something to her sister to replace her. She fought Binary as she was in the company of Spider-Woman, until a giant hostile dragon appeared out of nowhere, and decided set the conflict aside to solve the situation. To their joy, they found Carol safe and sound, having just driven the dragon away, and had a warm reunion. They followed and attempted to fight it, but after realizing that it might be under control of the Enchantress, Carol yielded instead of killing the dragon. This was all part of her trial, and having passed it, the dragon reverted to its original form, revealing itself as Kit who had been transformed by the Enchantress. As the Enchantress herself appeared, Carol told Lauri to take Kit back home. Once Carol convinced the Enchantress what she did to Ove was the right thing, Lauri returned shortly after. In that moment, Binary announced to everyone her intention to depart Earth and go on a journey of self discovery. Lauri apologized to Binary for attacking, gave her an emergency beacon to call Carol for help, and together with the others bid her farewell.[17]
When the Progenitor declared that humanity would be judged, it appeared to both Lauri and Carol as they fought civilians infected by a mysterious disease. The Progenitor took on the appearance of her mother as Lauri attempted to take down the infected civilians without harming them. Meanwhile, Carol's Flerken pet Chewie went underground through the road's cracks and devoured the monster responsible for the infection. The civilians were freed, at which point the Progenitor in the form of Mari-Ell congratulated Lauri on her noble soul and judged her worthy. Hearing her mother congratulate her brought Lauri to tears, which prompted the two sisters to embrace each other.[18]
Following Binary's death at the hands of the Empress Brood, Carol again fell into depression, and unable to deal with it, flew into space. Spider-Woman called Lauri to ask her to find Carol. Lauri scoured the universe, until she found Carol standing above their mother's grave on New Hala. She told Carol that despite the loss of their loved ones they must always move on, while carrying their memories. To get her mind somewhere else, Lauri suggested that Carol join her in helping a resistance overthrow their oppressors on a planet she had come across her search. While the sisters were away, Carol's friends organized a party to in hopes of cheering her up. Upon helping the resistance win, Lauri and Carol arrived to the party, which, along with the guidance of her fellow heroes, was enough to get the latter back in the mood.[19]
Days later, Lauri received a message from Carol, telling her that Hulkling and Wiccan needed to come to her location due to a common threat. Later, the Emperor's palace was breached by his half-brother Genis-Vell who was being controlled by the Undone to steal his and his husband's Nega Rings. Lauri intervened and successfully knocked him out before encasing him in a force field. The Undone overtook Genis, and broke through her field. He stole Lauri's Universal Weapon and again attacked, which forced Wiccan to banish him. Realizing the situation was dire, the three of them teleported to the Danvers Family Summer Residence where Carol explained who the Undone was and what she was after.[20]
Joined by Yuna Yang and Phyla-Vell, the group formed a plan to take down Genis. They managed to capture him and imprison him in Carol's basement where she instructed Lauri to look over him while she brought in Rick Jones. Upon bringing him in, however, Genis broke free, forcing everyone present to try fight him together, and again they took him down. Trying to find a way to purge the Nega-Bands from the Undone's corruption, Carol realized they needed to also bring the wearers' family members as their energies were connected. Yuna's family and Carol's brother Joe arrived to the house, and after Lauri introduced herself to him, everyone channeled their energies into the Bands. This proved to be enough to cleanse the Bands of the Undone's corruption, but in doing so she was able to manifest herself at their location.[21]
On Carol's orders Wiccan transported everyone, except for her, Phyla and Lauri, somewhere safe, leaving the women to fight the Undone alons. They were forced to physically attack her in order to not risk Undone drain their energy, but seeing that it wasn't working Carol decided to go inside her to attack the core.[22] As Carol fought the Undone from the inside, both Lauri and Phyla kept fighting the evil being to buy her more time.[23] Eventually, Carol, Yuna and her friend Leonore managed to tear the Undone to pieces, and before she could reform Lauri and the others scattered the pieces to every realm so that she may never return. With the threat of the Undone over, Lauri later attended Carol's birthday party with the rest of her friends.[24]
Lauri-Ell's position as the Emperor's Chief Accuser appeared to have been taken back by Ronan the Accuser, who had somehow returned to life and joined the Alliance.[25]Attributes
