History

Mel-Varr is a young Kree from Nova Hala IV whose father, General Pad-Varr, ridiculed him for spending so much time at the computer daydreaming about fighting Inhumans after failing to be accepted to the Kree Academy to continue the thousand-generation House of Varr family tradition of serving as warriors of the Kree Empire.

Cosmic Cuties

To prove himself worthy, Mel-Varr used an analytical system of various metrics to sort for potentially weak Inhuman targets, seeking to gain favor with the Empire by capturing one in a purely symbolic victory.

Mel-Varr disguised as Marvin Ellis

The computer suggested the newly transformed Moon Girl to be the lowest threat level, so Mel-Varr assumed the identity of Captain Kree, in honor of Mar-Vell, and traveled to Earth where he posed as Marvin Ellis, a new transfer student to Public School 20 Anna Silver who had allegedly just moved to New York from Kalamazoo, Michigan.

He attempted to befriend Lunella to get closer to his target; however, she had not yet learned to control her newly manifested powers, and fled the school until she and Devil Dinosaur could find a way to swap back into their proper bodies.

The next day Marvin, Lunella, Eduardo, and Zoe were put in the same group for a science project, but didn't get along. That night Captain Kree responded to Lenny and his partner robbing a store called Candy Party on the Lower East Side and then jammed NYPD bands to prevent them from responding before Moon Girl did. He attempted to arrest her for deserting the Kree Empire and betraying them with her cowardice; however, Mel-Varr was no match for Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur who dispatched him after a brief skirmish. After another tense day at school, the pair faced off yet again, but this time Captain Kree damaged the Q train tracks over the Manhattan Bridge, endangering civilians, and drawing the attention of Ms. Marvel.

Despite getting shooed away by Ms. Marvel, Mel-Varr continues to go after Lunella, only to be chastised by her and getting chased away by Devil Dinosaur, though he is partially saved when they switch bodies. This results in Mel-Varr rethinking his duty of capturing Lunella and as Marvin tries to be friends with her, but to no avail. After convincing her to help with the FIRSTⓇ LEGOⓇ League, Mel-Varr finally reveals himself to Lunella while also declaring his love for her, much to her disgust.

Mel-Varr managed to convince Lunella to allow him to help with her project and present it at the League, only for his father and an army of Kree soldiers to show up. Mel-Varr teamed up with Lunella and Devil Dinosaur to fend off his father where he once again announced his love for Lunella. However, Lunella broke his heart by informing him that they both needed to grow up and Mel-Varr sadly returned home with his father.

Mel-Varr was later called upon to aid Lunella and the other heroes in battle against the Doombots. While he was happy to be reunited with Lunella, she quickly spurned him yet again. After the fight, Mel-Varr attempted to ask Lunella what Thanksgiving was, only for her to tell him to go home, much to his dismay. He was last seen attending a superhero Christmas party where Lunella was, though he made no effort to voice his love to her.
