Biography
Under the orders of the Supreme Intelligence, Minn-Erva was tasked to help Yon-Rogg and the other members of Starforce to rescue the Kree spy Soh-Larr from the Skrulls (led by Talos), though the mission was a failure. Upon learning that Kree defector Mar-Vell has created the Light-Speed Engine to peacefully put an end to the war, the Supreme Intelligence sent over Yon-Rogg and Minn-Erva to dispose of Mar-Vell and steal the energy. Though Yon-Rogg succeeded in killing Mar-Vell, the energy ends up being absorbed into a young pilot named Carol Danvers, erasing her memories. Minn-Erva contemplated upon killing Carol, but Yon-Rogg decides to take Carol as his new protege, hoping to train her as a weapon.

During the next couple years, Carol (renamed Vers) was trained by Yon-Rogg to control her powers so that she can use them to track down the Skrulls and exterminate them, and Minn-Erva was tasked to train by her side, much to her frustration. However, Vers soon regained her memories and learned that the Skrulls just want to find a new homeworld to be safe from the Kree Empire and that she was tricked by the Supreme Intelligence and Yon-Rogg to lead the Skrulls for them to wipe out. She is even more horrified to learn that Minn-Erva and the other members of Starforce was involved in it the whole time; even Minn-Era admitted that she never liked Vers after being confronted for her actions.

Infuriated of being used by the Kree Empire, Vers furiously defected to the Skrulls and destroys the energy source while absorbing its powers, but she is abducted by Starforce, who then takes her back to Supreme Intelligence, who gives an implant to suppress her powers. After reminding Vers that the energy could be taken away, the Supreme Intelligence effortlessly overpowers her until Vers overcomes her limitations and vaporizes its avatar before engaging into a fight against Yon-Rogg.

During the final battle as Ronan the Accuser leads an assault on Earth, Minn-Erva (piloting her own ship) attempts to catch up by shooting down a ship being flown by Carol's friend Maria Rambeau and housing several refugee Skrulls. However, Maria outmaneuvers Minn-Erva and shoots down Minn-Erva's ship, killing her in a massive explosion.
