Zawe Ashton plays cosmic villain Dar-Benn in The Marvels, but how is the character different within Marvel Comics?
The Big Picture The Marvels is shaping up to be one of Marvel Studios' more intriguing movies. Storywise, the Nia DaCosta-helmed film teases a union between Captain Marvel , Monica Rambeau , and Kamala Khan/Ms. Marvel sees the return of some familiar faces. It also comes at a time when Marvel Studios is undergoing a shakeup in both its television and film departments, although some of those concerns may be mere hyperbole instead of legitimate issues.
Dar-Benn Was Part of a Major Avengers Storyline In Marvel Comics The Marvel comics version of Dar-Benn differs heavily from the MCU version in many ways. First and foremost, Dar-Benn was a man in the comics, while the MCU version presents as female. Secondly, the comics Dar-Benn took part in the "Operation: Galactic Storm" storyline that ran throughout all the Avengers-related titles in 1992.
Operation: Galactic Storm was a major shift for the Avengers, and Marvel's cosmic stage, as a whole. It led to reignited friction between Captain America and Iron Man, as Iron Man sought to kill the Supreme Intelligence for manipulating the war effort while Captain America didn't want to take such a harsh action. The Shi'ar, previously limited to interactions with the X-Men, took a bigger role in the Marvel cosmology.
Ronan would later appear in Captain Marvel, though this time he was the arm of the Kree's military might. When Carol Danvers went rogue after regaining her memories of Earth, Ronan was tasked with potentially destroying the Earth to eliminate the threat of the shape-shifting Skrulls. He chose to retreat after Danvers displayed her full power by destroying a Kree bomber. Ronan and Dar-Benn's hard-edged approach to combat is in line with the Accusers' role in Marvel Comics.
