The Badoon are a reptilian alien species. They are notable for having a gender schism, resulting in two separate societies; the Brotherhood of Badoon (ruled by a 'Brother Royal') and the Sisterhood of Badoon (ruled by a Queen).
The Brotherhood live on the planet Moord, while the Sisterhood reside on the Badoon homeworld of Lotiara (Capella II, also known as 'Swampworld'), 42.2 light years from Earth. The planet Sqazzl lies in Badoon space The Brotherhood's currency is called 'kreull'.
They act as major antagonists in the latest Marvel comic event, the Reckoning War, alongside many other hostile alien races, who are provided cataclysmic weapons by ancient enemies of the Watchers known as the Reckoning, who seek to wipe out the universe - the Badoon succeed in completely destroying Earth's moon in this event.
History (Earth-616)[]
The Badoon are older than the Kree and the Skrulls. There was a natural hatred between the two genders, and they fought each other in long gender wars. Eventually, the males won, placing the females in captivity. In time, the males developed technology and abandoned Lotiara, returning only when their mating drive made it necessary. The males became conquerors of worlds, while the females became pacifists, content to remain in peace on their homeworld and ignorant of the males' star-spanning empire. The Badoon control 37.5% of the Milky Way galaxy, are the interstellar empire closest to Earth, and the greatest alien threat to the future of Earth.
Among the Brotherhood's conquest attempts are the Zen-Whoberis, and the extra-dimensional world of Polemachus. They have been known to form alliances with the Brood and the Kree. The Brotherhood of the Badoon is also a member of the Galactic Council (with the Skrulls, Kree, Shi'ar, Brood, Spartoi, & Annihilation Wave) and therefore works with their rival interstellar powers in dealing with threats to the Local Group of galaxies.
