History
The Pursuer was originally a cockroach from Earth accidentally empowered by the computer geneticists of the Kree to fight the Inhumans. Originally the Pursuer was a holographic template that was given the ability to absorb matter into itself. The Kree had intended for their template to bond with steel or stone and gain similar characteristics but the Kree scientists missed and hit a human cockroach instead.
The lead scientist who helped create the Pursuer later used a process to turn himself into Korath the Pursuer. They are not the same character.[citation needed]
