History

Wilford Family Farm was a small farm in Texas that was owned and operated by Ethan Wilford and his wife Lizzie.[1] It was located in Sullivan County, one hundred miles north of the Rio Grande.[2]

For a time, the Wilfords had several members of the alien Kree race staying with them as guests, beginning with Doctor Tara (who was soon killed), Doctor Mac-Ronn and Ronan the Accuser (after his mind had become childlike).[3] Doctor Minerva became a guest after the destruction of her starship left her stranded on Earth.[4]

The two-story farmhouse was destroyed soon afterwards when the Supreme Intelligence sent an energy beam to restore Ronan's memory so that he could carry out a mission. Since Ronan was inside the farmhouse at the time, the beam struck it like a bolt of lightning, causing the building to explode and setting fire to the rubble. Ronan was not harmed by either the beam or the fire, and the four other residents, who had been outside when the beam struck, were all only knocked over by the blast. Ronan did not harm any of them before he left for New York City on his mission to abduct Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers).[2]

Later, after Ronan had been defeated by Danvers and Captain Marvel, Doctor Mac-Ronn and Doctor Minerva left the planet, using the starship that the Supreme Intelligence had sent for Ronan to transport him and them to Kree-Lar.[2]

Notes

  • In its first three appearances, the Wilford property was described only as a farm in Texas. However, in its fourth and final appearance, it was identified as a ranch in Sullivan County, Texas.
