[edit] Fictional character biography

Deathcry's true name was taken by royal decree for reasons yet unrevealed, but it was heavily hinted that she was the daughter of Deathbird. When the Earth hero team Avengers defeated the Kree, the Empress Lilandra Neramani feared for the team's safety should the Kree attempt revenge.

Lilandra then ordered Deathcry, by the same decree that took her name, to join the Avengers as their protector. Deathcry served with the Avengers for several months while hiding her youth. She eventually softened and revealed her true age as she formed close friendships with her teammates Vision and Hercules.

Later, after the Avengers survived an attack by the villain Immortus, Deathcry decided her services were no longer required. She bade Hercules to return her to the Shi'ar Empire, where she remained.

Eventually finding herself in the Kree empire, Deathcry was captured and charged with multiple murders. She was kept in a Kree high-security prison when she was selected to join Peter Quill's 'dirty dozen' team to fight the Phalanx^[1]. Unfortunately, her Shi'ar nature caused her to be hostile to Captain Universe, who only intended to help in the battle against the Phalanx, and attacked him, which resulted in her death^[2].
