The Supreme Intelligence is an artificial being created by theKree that consists of the disembodied minds of deceased Kree.[6][7] The Supreme Intelligence becomes the ruler of the Kree, building a fanatical religious worship around itself.[8]
The Supreme Intelligence is deposed as the leader of the Kree Empire byRonan the Accuser.[9] It is later revealed to have influencedRick Jones to regain its power and attempt to restart the Kree's stagnant evolutionary process.[10][11][6][12][13][2] However, the latter goal is unsuccessful.
During the "Operation: Galactic Storm" storyline, the Supreme Intelligence detonates a Nega-Bomb to influence the Kree's genetic potential, only to kill billions of Kree. In response, theAvengers execute the Supreme Intelligence.[14] The Supreme Intelligence survives by transferring its consciousness into a starship, but is presumed dead, with the Kree empire falling under the control of theShi'ar.[15][16] The Supreme Intelligence later escapes and restores its body by draining energy from Rick Jones.[17]
In theAnnihilation event, the Supreme Intelligence is deposed by the House of Fiyero, a Kree merchant guild. Ronan kills the members of the House of Fiyero, then kills the Supreme Intelligence after realizing that it cannot be restored.[18][19][20]
Ronan later resurrects the Supreme Intelligence by fusing two alternate universe variants ofReed Richards with the Supremor Seed, a portion of the Supreme Intelligence held dormant in Ronan's hammer.[21][20]

InCaptain Marvel (vol. 10), fragments of the Supreme Intelligence fuse with theSuper-Inhuman Vox.[24] However, Vox is destroyed by Binary, a clone ofCarol Danvers.[25] In the one-shotCaptain Marvel: Assault on Eden, the Supreme Intelligence returns in a digital form, but is destroyed by Carol Danvers.[26]
The Kree Supreme Intelligence is a vast cybernetic/organic computer system that contains the disembodied, preserved brains of the greatest statesmen and philosophers in Kree history. This aggregation of brains creates acollective intelligence able to use the vast information storage and processing capabilities of the computer system in a creative way. When wishing to interact with it, the Kree address it within its terminal chamber, where a holographic image is projected on a gigantic monitor screen.
The Supreme Intelligence possesses a seemingly immeasurable intellect, with vast knowledge far surpassing that of present-day Earth. It possesses information storage and processing abilities far above that of the human brain and various psychic abilities, including telepathy, telekinesis, and precognition.
The Supreme Intelligence is also capable of manipulating energy and matter, as well as create up to three remotely-controlled android servitors as extensions of itself.
Its power was enhanced when it merged with an inert Cosmic Cube, which now serves as its true housing, kept in a separate room from the organic computer facade it created. Upon assuming its new housing, the Supreme Intelligence was now able to control reality within a limited distance of itself, as well as create portals between dimensions, most notably the Astral Plane and the dimension ofDeath.
TheMarvel Boy mini-series byGrant Morrison featured an alternate universe version of Supremor who is an ally toNoh-Varr, the last survivor of a Kree ship that crashed to Earth. Known as Plex, this Supreme Intelligence displayedmultiple personalities, with each specializing in specific situations.[citation needed]
TheSupreme Intelligence appears in media set in theMarvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).[33]
