As there isn't a huge amount to cover this time around, this post should be relatively brief. Let's take a look at the Kree in the MC2.
Members of the Kree race makes only one major appearance in the MC2 way back in A-Next #2. When the Earth's Orbital Defense Grid shoots down and splits in two a Kree vessel, the two sections crash in the Washington National Park. With the Avengers on the scene thanks to Bill Foster, the team organise into two groups to seek out the remnants of the crashed vessel. Investigating the first crash site, Thunderstrike and Mainframe learn the Kree's robotic Sentry 666 separated from the Kree vessel when attacked by the Orbital Defense Grid. Mainframe surmises the Kree have sent Sentry 666 and his Mission Commander to assess Earth's current military capabilities.
Meanwhile Stinger, J2, Bill and John Foster explore the inside of the meteor-camouflaged Kree ship and discover the Kree Mission Commander has died in the crash. When Bill's leg is caught in the ships bulkhead door as it tetters over a cliff top, John accesses the ships system, inadvertently merging his DNA with that of the Kree Mission Commander and downloading all the ship's data into his brain.
Transformed, John Foster saves his father and the Avengers from Sentry 666, destroying the Kree ship in the process. Dubbing himself the Earth Sentry, John heads off to decipher the Kree's plans for planet Earth.While the Earth Sentry would go on to make several more appearances, we never learn what the Kree were planning. Presumably off-panel the Earth Sentry saved the planet from this Kree plot, but so far we haven't been privy to how things unfolded.
Notably, earlier in the issue Mainframe mentions that the Earth hasn't had an attempted invasion since 'The Skrull Incident' some years prior. This tells us that the Kree likely haven't made contact with the Earth in some time, a fact also supported by their attempt to assess the planet's military capabilities using Sentry 666.
On a side note, two researches working for Bill Foster are named Carol and Walter, almost certainly a reference to Carol Danvers and Walter Lawson, the identity assumed by the original Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell. I nice nod to other Kree-related heroes!
Until the Kree stop making their technology so compatible with Humans, I remain
frogoat
