What Captain Marvel's Cast Look Like In The Comics

12. The Supreme Intelligence

Kree Supreme Intelligence

In The Comics:

Since its first appearance all the way back in 1967's Fantastic Four #65, the Supreme Intelligence has been depicted as an enormous green head with tentacles and four eyes. It's an iconic look, but one Marvel sought to divest from for the MCU, reimagining the Supreme Intelligence sans its traditional form.

Apart from that, though, both iterations are fairly similar. Both serve as the AI ruler of the Kree, and there's nothing presented in the film that contradicts its comic book origin of having been created from the foremost Kree minds. It is worth noting, however, that the Supremor's origins in the comics are directly tied to the Cosmic Cube, which the Skrulls had previously managed to create.

In the film, the Supreme Intelligence isn't a gigantic floating head (disappointing, I know), but instead an AI that takes the form of who each Kree respects the most. In an ironic twist of fate, this also proves to be the Intelligence's undoing, as it takes the form of Doctor Wendy Lawson, a Kree traitor with a unique connection to Danvers' past.

It's a neat twist, and one that serves the film well. One can only wonder if we'll ever get to see the green head in the future though...

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
