Minn-Erva

: "You knew all along. Is that why we never hung out?""No, I just never liked you."
: ―Captain Marvel and Minn-Erva[src]
Minn-Erva was a Kree tactical sniper and a member of Starforce. Under the orders of the Supreme Intelligence and Ronan the Accuser, Minn-Erva and other members of the Starforce were sent on a mission to rescue the Kree Soh-Larr from Skrull captivity. However, the mission was sabotaged by the Skrulls. Minn-Erva and the Starforce eventually located and captured the defected Kree warrior Captain Marvel. As Minn-Erva and the Kree prepared to kill the remaining Skrull refugees, Captain Marvel freed herself from the Supreme Intelligence, defeating Minn-Erva and the Starforce in combat. Minn-Erva attempted to personally eliminate Captain Marvel's new allies, only to be killed after Maria Rambeau shot down her ship.

=== Kree-Skrull War ===
==== Abducting Carol Danvers ====
: "There's nothing left. The core's been destroyed.""She absorbed its power. She's coming with us."
: ―Minn-Erva and Yon-Rogg[src]
In 1989, Minn-Erva was sent along with Yon-Rogg by the Kree Empire to retrieve the Light-Speed Engine created by Mar-Vell after the latter betrayed her race. They intercepted her and Carol Danvers during a flight and shot them out of the sky. After the plane crash-landed, Yon-Rogg shot and killed Mar-Vell. Minn-Erva continued to keep aim at Danvers, willing to eliminate her if she compromised the mission.
Danvers then shot the energy core of the engine, causing it to explode and infuse her with energy. After the explosion, Minn-Erva informed Yon-Rogg that the core was completely destroyed. She noticed that Danvers was still moving due to absorbing the energy, and thought she was alive. She asked for permission to kill her, but he declined and suggested taking her back to Hala. Unknown to her, Danvers had died after the explosion, and Yon-Rogg resurrected her after a blood transfusion, and then wiped her memories with the intention of turning her into a weapon. As Danvers, who Yon-Rogg called "Vers," started her training regimen by running outside each morning, Minn-Erva got confused by the practice. She asked multiple times why Danvers would do so, describing the activity as pointless.
==== Aphos Prime Mission ====
Minn-Erva and Vers were brought into a conference room with Yon-Rogg, who told them about a Kree scout ship which had been destroyed after detecting Skrull activity on the planet Aphos Prime. Yon-Rogg tasked the two with finding the strength of the Skrull force and reporting back without fighting, but Vers commented that the Skrulls might attack them. She asked why Starforce members would be sent anyway, prompting Minn-Erva to comment about Vers questioning orders. Vers explained that they were warriors, not scouts, and Minn-Erva prepared to respond, but Yon-Rogg interrupted and explained that the orders came from the Supreme Intelligence. Vers nodded and said that she understood, but Minn-Erva knew she did not mean it.
As the pair appraoched Aphos Prime and were forced to enter at high speeds, causing it to bump in the upper atmosphere. Minn-Erva asked if Vers was confident in her ability, so Vers responded that she could fly anything, annoying Minn-Erva. Needing to continue moving fast to avoid detection, Vers crashed the ship, causing Minn-Erva to get thrown against her seat. Once the fighter crashed, Minn-Erva made a sarcastic comment, but Vers was expecting a thank you. Vers retrieved weapons along with Minn-Erva, who reminded Vers that the weapons were for protection and defense only. Vers again asked to be thanked and the two bet on whether Minn-Erva would thank her before the end of the mission.
Minn-Erva opened the hatch without checking the atmosphere first, upsetting Vers. They disembarked the ship and became covered in mud, and Minn-Erva did not laugh at Vers' joke that they had natural camouflage. Vers asked about the chances the Skrulls detected them, which Minn-Erva assured her were slim. Vers said that it almost sounded like a thank-you, which Minn-Erva denied. Minn-Erva got frustrated as her Skrull Detector was glitching, prompting Vers to suggest the planet was interfering with it as a group of signals appeared and then disappeared. They started walked toward the signals which had appeared.
As they walked, Vers said that they would need a visual confirmation of the number of Skrulls, which would result in a fight. Minn-Erva suggested she was pushing for one, reminding her they were not meant to engage. Vers asked why Minn-Erva did not like her, making Minn-Erva call her childish. Minn-Erva, explained that while Yon-Rogg and the Supreme Intelligence thought Vers had something to offer, Minn-Erva though of Vers as reckless and dangerous. She Vers to follow her lead, hoping it would get them off Aphos Prime. As they continued walking, the Skrull tracker reactivated and sensed three Skrulls, so the two knelt down and discussed strategy. Minn-Erva hesitantly agreed with Vers that they would need to fight the Skrulls.
Vers went to the top of a mountain to scout out the Skrulls, who spotted her and started firing. Vers returned to Minn-Erva and suggested they scare them off, which Minn-Erva disagreed with. However, she eventually agreed to the plan, and Vers used her photon abilities to blast them. Vers returned and said that she blasted one and the others would be scared to attack, but they were then attacked by a hovercraft. As Minn-Erva crawled through the mud with Vers, the pair argued over who was responsible for their situation. Minn-Erva prepared to retort when the shooting increased. Vers checked the amount Skrulls and came back down before a Skrull hit her, impressing Minn-Erva. As Minn-Erva reloaded her weapon, Vers told her that there were eight Skrulls, and the pair agreed that more would be coming. The two then hesitated as they realized that they had agreed on something. They planned for Vers to attack the hovercraft, so Minn-Erva got to the top of a hill and laid down suppressive fire, holding the Skrulls back. Vers joined Minn-Erva with a weapon, so Minn-Erva commented on her not using her powers anymore. Vers offered to keep the Skrulls pinned while Minn-Erva ambushed them, but Minn-Erva countered by saying that she was a better shot than Vers. The two suddenly heard a sound similar to footsteps, but could not find who would be making them.
The mud around them started boiling as Minn-Erva and Vers watched a Skrull head appear out of the mud. At first, they believed the Skrull to be dead, but then he suddenly animated and grabbed at Vers' uniform, begging to be saved. As Vers jumped back, the Skrull was pulled back under the mud, confusing the warriors. They then heard screams from the Skrulls who were attacking them, realizing that they were likewise being pulled under. They decided to flee the planet and started going toward their ship, wondering how the Skrulls planned to weaponize the planet, which they believed killed everything that landed on it. The mud started bubbling and foaming again, prompting Vers to suggest that the mud is in fact alive. The ground around them suddenly started shifting and pulling them under, which Vers suggested as a defense mechanism. Minn-Erva started shooting at the mud, which resulted in her getting pulled under faster. Vers attempted to pull Minn-Erva out of the mud, but Minn-Erva could not reach Vers and she was completely submerged.
==== Escaping Aphos Prime ====
Minn-Erva and Vers found themselves in a cavern with Vers' foot on Minn-Erva's head. Minn-Erva made Vers take her foot off and Minn-Erva got her sidearm, using the weapon's targeting laser as a light. Vers noticed that the vines were pulsing and asked how they were breathing, but Minn-Erva countered by asking why they were breathing.Vers suggested that the vines blood vessels, prompting sarcasm from Minn-Erva. Vers told them they would need to work together as Minn-Erva told them they had company, having noticed a Skrull emerging in the wall. The two threatened him, but the Skrull explained that he was injured and begged for help. Minn-Erva and Vers hesitantly pulled him out of the mud, but the Skrull refused to tell them anything. Vers realized that he was desperate to escape, and offered help in exchange for information, shocking Minn-Erva. However, Vers explained that the Skrull's ability to move through the mud could be useful, which Minn-Erva agreed with. The Skrull explained that the planet was alive, describing it as a cancer and explaining that it was the remains of Aphos Prime.
Vers demanded to know how Aphos Prime was killed, but the Skrull explained that his species knew as little as the Kree. Minn-Erva did not believe him, but the Skrull insisted he was telling the truth. The Skrull then explained that they could claw through the walls where they were bubbling, but Minn-Erva corrected him and said they would be crawling up. Vers then ordered the Skrull to go first, since she and Minn-Erva did not trust him. As the Skrull started climbing, Minn-Erva said that she would go right behind him, not wanting to let him out of her sight. She told Vers to stay in the back and ensure they were not followed. As they climbed, the Skrull at one point stopped to rest, at which point Minn-Erva realized he would not survive. However, Vers said that they needed to him to talk to them and Yon-Rogg, prompting sarcasm from Minn-Erva. However, Vers managed to provide first aid to the Skrull and revive him, begrudgingly impressing Minn-Erva. The three then continued crawling through the mud.
The group was then confused as they came across a large opening in their vine which was met by a wall of mud, none of which leaked into the vine. Vers then noticed their ship above them, but the Skrull explained that it was impossible. Minn-Erva asked why he joined them if that were the case, prompting the Skrull to explain that he thought ti was the better option. Minn-Erva fired at the membrane separating the mud from the tunnel, causing the vines to ooze mud as vines rose to the surface. Minn-Erva started firing at the vines and told Vers to use her abilities, so Vers destroyed the wall, causing them to get flooded by mud as Vers freed Minn-Erva from the vines which were attacking her. Vers then grabbed Minn-Erva and the Skrull and dragged them to the surface. Minn-Erva cut the vine grabbing Vers' leg, allowing Vers to surface as well.
Minn-Erva remaining on the top of the ship and shot at vines while Vers prepared to leave. At Vers' warning, Minn-Erva entered the ship as it took off. They relaxed as they took off and the planet screamed. Vers thanked Minn-Erva for saving her, and Minn-Erva returned the thank you. Vers laughed, gloating that she was right about Minn-Erva thanking her before the mission was over. They brought the Skrull back to Hala and prepared for a briefing.
Minn-Erva was involved with another mission which involved a creature that bit Bron-Char.
==== Sy'gyl Mission ====
: "Don't screw this up.""Thanks for the vote of confidence."
: ―Minn-Erva and Vers[src]
One morning, Minn-Erva practiced shooting on Hala and received a score of "maximum fatality," which Att-Lass joked could be the name of a band. Minn-Erva compared his joking attitude to Vers, but Att-Lass said he had faith in her. She said that faith was not enough and fired again, which Att-Lass complimented. Minn-Erva threatened him and told him to stop talking. An hour later, Minn-Erva checked her weapon while Att-Lass asked why she was hard on Vers, suggesting that it was because she was Yon-Rogg's favorite. Minn-Erva insisted that Yon-Rogg did not have favorites, but Att-Lass noted that he treated Vers the way he used to treat Minn-Erva before Vers arrived. Minn-Erva said that she would lay down her own life for anyone else in Starforce, and that she wanted to know that Vers would do the same, which Att-Lass assured her she would. Minn-Erva said that she had better as she left Att-Lass alone.
Minn-Erva and Att-Lass then went to their briefing, where Yon-Rogg revealed that since the war against the Skrulls was draining their resources, the Kree were considering ending their war against Xandar, upsetting Minn-Erva and Att-Lass. Yon-Rogg explained that they were tasked with infiltrating the Xandarian-controlled planet Sy'gyl to receive plans from a Xandarian defector for a Xandarian weapon. Yon-Rogg then ordered the group to get ready, so they left to do so.
Minn-Erva asked Vers if she was okay and admitted that she was wondering when Vers would slip up. Vers responded by flipping Minn-Erva over her should and insisting that it would not happen. Att-Lass told Minn-Erva that Vers was one of them, prompting Minn-Erva to say that Vers would need to remember that when making difficult choices. Bron-Char then remarked to Minn-Erva that she had a way with people. When they reached the hangar, Vers noticed Sun-Val getting into the cockpit of their ship and asked about her, so Minn-Erva explained that she was a pilot who was familiar with the territory.
As their ship approached Xandarian space, they were suddenly attacked by Kree fighter pilots, mistaking them for Xandarians. Att-Lass asked what they should do, and Vers suggested they return fire. The entire team faced Vers as Minn-Erva yelled at her, but Yon-Rogg agreed that it was the best way to avoid suspicion and passed the order along to Sun-Val. A fight ensued which led to a hole forming in their ship's hull, which Minn-Erva said she would handle as the cabin decompressed. However, she struggled against her harness and saw Vers unbuckle and activate the ship's shield, stopping air from escaping. Minn-Erva watched Yon-Rogg compliment Vers and started to wonder if she had misjudged her teammate.
As the ship approached the upper atmosphere, Yon-Rogg reviewed the plan and told them not to encounter Xandarian resistance, which Minn-Erva said was was an unreasonable request. However, Yon-Rogg repeated the instruction, so Starforce agreed to it. When Starforce's ship entered cruising speed, Minn-Erva and Att-Lass went to inspect their guns. Bron-Char then approached them and bragged about only needing his fists, prompting Minn-Erva to roll her eyes at Att-Lass. Minn-Erva sarcastically noted that it was great to be Bron-Char. The group was joined by Vers after she and Yon-Rogg had talked, and Vers claimed they were simply reviewing the land and that he wanted to talk to Minn-Erva next. Minn-Erva did not like that Yon-Rogg was briefing individually, but Bron-Char and Att-Lass agreed that Yon-Rogg had his reasons. Minn-Erva went to Yon-Rogg, who explained that she would provide cover for the team while they cleared a path for Vers to infiltrate the base. Minn-Erva suggested that Att-Lass was better for infiltrating, but Yon-Rogg simply glared at her. This led Minn-Erva to decide to watch Vers very closely.
As the ship landed, Yon-Rogg opened the hatch and told Starforce that Minn-Erva would be the only one with a gun. They started traversing the planet when Vers joked to herself and Minn-Erva asked what she said. Yon-Rogg told them to be quiet and communicate with hand signals. When Bron-Char saw something that gave the team pause, Yon-Rogg sent Att-Lass to investigate, and he came back reporting that it was a Xandarian ship. Minn-Erva set herself up nearby where she could see the surroundings and kill an enemy, giving the team a chance to escape. Yon-Rogg showed Vers the woman she was meant to find, and Minn-Erva told her not to mess up over the comm-link. As Vers moved, Minn-Erva provided updates on whether she saw any enemies. As Vers approached the bunker, Minn-Erva told her there were no enemies near and wished her luck as she entered. Minn-Erva told Yon-Rogg that Vers was entering the bunker, and Yon-Rogg reported back that Vers might not get a signal. She then saw three Nova Corps men and reported to Yon-Rogg, who mobilized Starforce. Minn-Erva lost sight of Yon-Rogg and Bron-Char and reported it to Att-Lass and Korath, who had stayed behind.
Minn-Erva attempted to contact Korath and Att-Lass and received no response, when suddenly she heard a high-pitched noise and could not find the source. She glanced upward and recognized a Stealth Bomb, something which was not in the Xandarian arsenal. She told her team to leave, and received a response from Att-Lass that he and Korath were leaving. The bomb was dropped on the bunker as a white light flashed, but Minn-Erva averted her eyes to prevent herself from becoming temporarily blind. She tried to reach out to her team but received no response, so she turned to the bunker, but felt a breeze behind her, causing her to turn around and aim at who turned out to be Att-Lass and Korath. Att-Lass suggested getting Vers out of the bunker, but Korath insisted they return to the freighter, insisting that Bon-Char, Yon-Rogg, and Vers could handle themselves. On the way, they found that Sun-Val had been killed.
At the freighter, Minn-Erva attempted to contact Yon-Rogg, Bron-Char, or Vers, but found that the comm-link was dead. She insisted that Vers was compromised, suggesting she had switched sides, surprising Att-Lass. Korath told them to prepare the ship without their teammates, insisting that Bron-Char and Yon-Rogg would arrive, unaware of whether Vers would. Minn-Erva started to prepare the ship. She saw Vers, Yon-Rogg, and Bron-Char return with Sun-Val, causing Minn-Erva to realize she was a Skrull. She aimed her wepaon and yelled for Vers to get down, killing the Skrull before she could kill Vers. Vers and Att-Lass explained that Sun-Val was dead, causing the team to realize that the Skrull was likely after the plans Vers had stolen. Minn-Erva then watched over the autopilot as the freighter took off and left Sy'gyl. She approached Vers as she tried to sit up and warned her not too due to the condition of her leg. Minn-Erva complimented Vers' work during the mission, and Vers returned the compliment.
==== Ambush in Torfa ====
: "Locals on the periphery. Maybe a dozen."
: ―Minn-Erva to Yon-Rogg[src]
In 1995, during the final stages of the Kree-Skrull War, Minn-Erva and the rest of her Starforce teammates- Vers, Bron-Char, Yon-Rogg, and Att-Lass were sent on a mission to Torfa under the orders of the Supreme Intelligence.
As they boarded the ship, at first unaware of their mission, Minn-Erva heard as Korath surmise that they were being dispatched to respond to a problem involving Skrulls. While they waited for Yon-Rogg to debrief them on their mission, Minn-Erva overheard Korath sharing a personal story with the Starforce about a disturbing encounter with a Skrull who impersonated him. The others complemented his looks, despite Korath maintaining a serious attitude.
Yon-Rogg then briefed Starforce on their mission as they made their way to Torfa, along with Ronan and his Accusers, explaining that they should not interfere with the Torfans so their unwanted presence would not be detected. Yon-Rogg explained that their mission was to rescue Soh-Larr, a Kree operative who was abducted by the leader of the Skrulls, Talos, having been sent by the Supreme Intelligence to gather pertaining the Skrull's potential plans and their hiding spots throughout the galaxy so the Kree Empire could hunt them down.
Yon-Rogg noted that rescuing him was their primary objective so that their intelligence would not be compromised and leaked to the Skrulls, warning that if his mind was inhibited, the Skrulls would be able to obtain classified Kree intelligence. While the Accusers bombed several strongholds, Yon-Rogg wished Minn-Erva luck in their mission before the Starforce members recited their pledge to the Kree Empire. The Starforce arrived on Torfa and swam underwater to reach their destination.
Minn-Erva and Att-Lass took their positions as snipers, preparing to shoot down what seemed to be Skrull soldiers. As Yon-Rogg, Vers, Korath, and Bron-Char approached the village, Minn-Erva's contact with Yon-Rogg malfunctioned. As one of the Torfan citizens charged at the Starforce, Minn-Erva shot the civilian. Suddenly, the Skrulls morphed into their original forms and fought the Starforce, prompting Minn-Erva to shoot the attacking Skrulls from the cliff.
"Att-Lass" asked her not to attack them, as they were just natives. However, Minn-Erva came to the conclusion that he wasn't Att-Lass, but was actually a Skrull imposter as well as the natives. As the imposter attacked her, she fought him and ended up mercilessly killing the imposter, and the team took care of the rest before Vers was captured. With Vers having been captured by the Skrulls, the Starforce's mission was compromised.
=== Chase for the Tesseract ===
==== Contacted by Vers ====
: "Ever been to C-53?""Once. It's a real shithole."
: ―Bron-Char and Minn-Erva[src]
Following the Ambush in Torfa, the Starforce left the planet and returned to the Helion. Some time later, they were contacted by Vers, who managed to escape from Skrull's Ship, and arrived on Earth. Using a modified payphone, Vers communicated with Yon-Rogg and the Starforce, elaborating on her suspicions about the Skrulls' true mission and mentioning Wendy Lawson's name, stating that she planned to locate the doctor in an effort to figure out what the Skrulls' intentions were, unaware that she was dead.
Minn-Erva mentioned as Yon-Rogg mentioned that the Ambush in Torfa was compromised, in which Vers revealed that Talos was impersonating Soh-Larr, having extracted his Kree code from his consciousness. However, their contact abruptly ended. While Yon-Rogg decided to track down Vers's location, Bron-Char asked Minn-Erva if she had traveled to Earth before, to which she replied that she had on a Kree mission six years ago and she did not think much of the planet.
==== Battle at Mar-Vell's Laboratory ====
: "Load the Flerken onto the Helion. Eject the others into space."
: ―Minn-Erva to Bron-Char[src]
After Carol Danvers and her friends made it to Mar-Vell's Laboratory to free Talos' family and the other Skrull refugees after realizing that they were innocent and that she was fighting for the wrong side, Minn-Erva and the rest of the Starforce, led by Yon-Rogg, followed them after having tracked their location and boarded the ship.
While Danvers and her allies were exploring the ship, the Starforce arrived and captured all of them. As Nick Fury and Maria Rambeau attempted to draw their weapons at Yon-Rogg, Minn-Erva subdued them at gunpoint as Danvers had a conversation with Yon-Rogg in which he explained that the Kree weaponized her and made her into the warrior she was now. While Danvers was restrained by Yon-Rogg and was confronted by the Supreme Intelligence, Minn-Erva ordered Att-Lass to inject the Skrulls, Nick Fury, Maria Rambeau, and Goose into space.
However, Danvers was finally able to overpower the Supreme Intelligence and remove her photon inhibitor, unlocking her true powers. As Fury and Rambeau evacuated the remaining Skrull refugees off the ship, the Starforce decided to confront Danvers and end the threat. Despite having been cornered at almost every angle, Danvers proceeded to fight them, effortlessly defeating Korath, Bron-Char, and Att-Lass in the process.
With those three defeated, Minn-Erva ordered her soldiers to attack Danvers. As Danvers incapacitated the henchmen, Minn-Erva took aim at Danvers and attempted to shoot at her. However, Danvers managed to escape momentarily from her. After Bron-Char and Korath charged at Danvers and were both subdued a second time, Minn-Erva approached the ground floor to personally engage her former associate.
As Minn-Erva attempted to draw her Kree Sniper Rifle at Danvers, but was quickly disarmed, Minn-Erva quickly seized the nearest pistol, aiming at her. Danvers surmised that she knew her secret all along, and inquired as to if that was the reason why they never bonded, only for Minn-Erva to tell Danvers that they never hung out as she never liked her. Minn-Erva then shot Danvers in the head with the weapon, only to discover that her weapon was a harmless NERF gun, allowing Danvers to blast her.
==== Mojave Desert Air Chase and Death ====
: "Minn-Erva, take them down in a dropship.""On it."
: ―Yon-Rogg and Minn-Erva[src]
With her remaining teammates either injured or unconscious, Minn-Erva was ordered by Yon-Rogg to shoot down the Quadjet bringing the Skrulls away along with Carol Danvers' friends. Taking a Kree space pod, Minn-Erva descended to the Mojave Desert and tried to shoot down the Quadjet, lightly damaging it.
However, Maria Rambeau outsmarted and outmaneuvered Minn-Erva, causing her to lose sight of them. The Quadjet emerged, and she witnessed Maria's ship right in front of her's. Minn-Erva watched in horror as Maria shot her spacecraft down with the Quadjet's dual miniguns, killing Minn-Erva in the process as her spacecraft's remains plummeted to the desert below.
== Personality ==
: "Commander, she's still moving. Permission to fire?"
: ―Minn-Erva to Yon-Rogg[src]
Minn-Erva was a Kree sniper, willing to take down anyone who opposed them, and showing a liking for killing when she asked his superior Yon-Rogg if he could let her shoot an unconscious Carol Danvers. For instance, Minn-Erva mercilessly eliminated Att-Lass's Skrull imposter, who was unarmed, without any hesitation. Having been the "star soldier" of Starforce before Danvers became part of the team, she felt slightly threatened as the newcomer was very talented, perhaps even more than her. As such, Minn-Erva held a strong animosity towards Danvers, the reason for which they never hung out together.
