WARNING: The following article contains minor spoilers for Captain Marvel, in theaters now.

Ronan the Accuser first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy. Although he's not really a fan-favorite villain, he did have a short appearance in Captain Marvel. However, there's a lot you might not realize about Ronan the Accuser.

Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and first appearing in 1967's Fantastic Four #65, Ronan has a long history in the comics. The films definitely simplify him, but his appearance raises a lot of interesting implications about the character and his involvement in both the Kree Empire and with Thanos. Although Ronan is certainly a fanatic, there's some indication that the Kree Empire really didn't care much to stop his attempts at killing as many members of the Nova Corp. as possible in Guardians of the Galaxy.
