Publication history

Starforce first appeared in Avengers #346 (April 1992), created by writer Bob Harras and artist Steve Epting. The team debuted during the storyline Operation Galactic Storm and played a major role in the Kree-based part of the story. Following the outcome of that story, now under the control of the Shi'ar, they confronted Quasar, Her and Makkari who had travelled to the Kree homeworld to see if they can help survivors.[1][2][3]

The team reappeared in other Marvel space stories, including Silver Surfer: Breakout, Blackwulf[4] and during Annihilation they are exiled as traitors.[5][3]

After her capture, the Shi'ar noblewoman Deathbird joined them and then led the team following the destruction of the Kree when she was placed in charge of the former Kree empire.

In other media
The Starforce team as depicted in the 2019 film, Captain Marvel (L-R: Korath, Att-Lass, Vers, Bron-Char, Minn-Erva).

The Starforce appears in the 2019 film Captain Marvel. Vers, Korath, Minn-Erva, Att-Lass, and Bron-Char make up the team and are led by Yon-Rogg.[6][7] The group is first seen going to the planet Torfa to rescue a Kree scout named Soh-Larr. This leads to a Skrull ambush led by Talos which results in Vers getting captured. When Vers escapes to Earth and makes contact with Yon-Rogg, Starforce heads to Earth. Following a parley with Talos and the discovery of the Skrull refugees that Mar-Vell hid, Starforce arrives and takes the Skrulls, Nick Fury, Maria Rambeau, and Goose prisoner, while Vers, in her regained identity of Carol Danvers, is placed in a transmission with the Supreme Intelligence. After breaking free and overheating the implant that limited her abilities, Carol Danvers fights Starforce and the Kree soldiers with them to rescue Nick Fury, Maria Rambeau, and the Skrulls which results in most of the antagonizing Kree either being killed or incapacitated.

gollark: The nice thing about advancing technology is that it gets more feasible as time goes on.
gollark: There *are* dedicated "AI accelerators" on modern SoCs, too, maybe that could help.
gollark: And mobile processors tend to improve in efficiency as time goes on, and then the gains get used to just make the phones thinner and run more useless background services or something.
