Dar-Benn is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
The character, created by Ron Marz and Ron Lim, first appeared in Silver Surfer vol. 3 #53 (June 1991).
Dar-Benn was a male Kree General who used a robot of the Silver Surfer to execute Clumsy Foulup and General Dwi-Zann during The Infinity Gauntlet storyline.[1] He was killed by Deathbird during the Kree-Shi'ar war.[2]
A female version of Dar-Benn appears in The Marvels (2023), portrayed by Zawe Ashton.[3] This version is a warrior revolutionary who wields an Accuser's hammer and the other half of the Quantum Bands that Kamala Khan had in her possession and is trying to restore the Kree's planet of Hala after it was devastated in a civil war.[3][4][5] Director Nia DaCosta encouraged Ashton to prioritize her agility and strength in her training.[4] The Kree civil war was caused by Captain Marvel after she destroyed the Supreme Intelligence, and was dubbed by the Kree "the Annihilator," which leads to Dar-Benn's grudge against her.
