Lunatic Legion



The Lunatic Legion is a team of alien terrorists from Marvel Comics and antagonists of Captain Marvel and the Avengers. The first formation was led by the corrupt Kree minister Zarek and the second was formed by Admiral Galen-Kor.

Story
The Lunatic Legion were a group of Kree extremists who held strict beliefs on racial purity and the dominance of blue-skinned Kree. They planned to overthrow the Supreme Intelligence as they saw the entity as a cesspool of impure minds, and another was the death of the Kree hero Captain Mar-Vell. The group operated on the Blue Area of the Moon.

The Legion experimented on the human; Robert Hunter and turned him into the explosive supervillain Nitro the "Living Bomb" and sent him on a mission to steal Compound 13. This resulted in the fateful battle between Nitro and Mar-Vell that led to Captain Mar-Vell getting cancer from the Compound's gas.

Unable to defeat Mar-Vell the Legion fled back to Hala where they were summoned to an audience with the Supreme Intelligence. The Intelligence proposed an alliance with them to eliminate Captain Mar-Vell, though the real purpose of this was to pit the Legion into a battle they could not win against Captain Mar-Vell. The plan worked, and the Legion was defeated and Zarek was arrested.

New Lunatic Legion
Galen-Kor was an admiral in the Kree military and head of covert operations. He was formerly a survivor of the Kree-Shi'ar War where 80% of the Kree population was tragically killed and led a new Lunatic Legion team made of Kree soldiers to get vengeance on both the Shi'ar and the Avengers for the events that transpired in the Operation: Galactic Storm storyline.
