Mar-Vell (Earth-125)

"I didn't want to believe it. Car-Ol, I love you. I can forgive your treason, I can forgive everything, make this all go away. Just tell me what I need to hear. It was a meaningless flirtation, you were lonely, tell me I'm the one you love! Not... HIM!"

- - Mar-Vell to Car-Ol

Captain Mar-Vell was the general of the Kree forces and husband of Car-Ol, leading officer of the Sapphire Guard. In the continuing Kree-Gordanian War, Vell sent Ol to Earth in order to study the planet's populace, government, and technology, so the Kree Empire could enslave humanity and destroy Earth to open a hyperspace bypass to reach their worlds and end the war. When he arrived with his forces, however, El found Car fell in love with the human Green Lantern, and that she had become a part of a team of vigilantes called the Justice League.

Early Life
Mar-Vell was born in Kandor, Hala, as a part of the aristocratic House Vell. As per Kree customs, Vell married the youngest daughter of their neighbor House, Car-Ol of House Ol. Together, both became prominent members of the Kree Empire's armed forces, with Mar becoming the commander of the Sapphire Guard.
