Mari-Ell was a pink-skinned Kree raised on Hala, shaped by her people's constant state of war. She was a champion for the Kree at a very young age, becoming the youngest captain in the Elite Guard. As part of the Kree's war efforts, Mari-Ell was personally appointed by Empress Pam'a on a mission to assimilate with the humans of Earth, and give birth to a Kree/human hybrid. To this end, she was given the Amulet of Pam'a, a cloaking device that would allow Mari-Ell to hide her identity.
When Mari-Ell arrived on Earth, she was blown off target and landed in the waters of Boston, Massachusetts. She was rescued from drowning by Joe Danvers, a local boater. Mari-Ell fell for Joe's kindness, and assumed the identity of "Marie" to date him, originally intending to use him only for her cover. Marie eventually decided to reveal her true nature to Joe, and he convinced her to remain together. Marie became mother to two sons Joe had had with his previous, late wife, Joe Jr. and Stevie. Marie and Joe married after she became pregnant with a child, having become fond of the peaceful life on Earth. The baby was born afterwards, named Carol, adapted from the Kree name Car-Ell. To consolidate her new life on Earth, Marie turned off a Kree tracking device she carried, cuting her off from the Kree.
