Kree-Skrull War
Although the Kree never launched an invasion of Earth, a skirmish in the Kree-Skrull War occurred in the Sol system, involving over a dozen of Earth's superheroes, notably the Avengers and Rick Jones. Rick Jones, in particular, played a key role, because the Supreme Intelligence, through elaborate machinations, influenced Captain Marvel to construct a Kree "omni-wave projector" to stimulate the latent psionic potential, the "Destiny Force", in Jones' mind.
Skrull Empress R'kill and the Kree Supreme Intelligence believed that the war had reached a stalemate and proposed a final resolution through single combat between the Skrull warrior Raksor and the Kree soldier Bel-Dann. The Fantastic Four and the Inhumans goaded the combatants until they joined forces to ward off their attackers. The arbiter of the battle myself, Uatu the Watcher, commented that their willingness to cooperate demonstrated that the Kree and Skrull could work together too. In the aftermath of the conflict, the Illuminati paid a visit to the Skrulls, making it clear that they would not tolerate involving Earth further in the conflict.
The Devourer of Worlds, Galactus, destroyed the Skrull homeworld, Skrullos. Remaining Skrull territory factionalized, and the odds of victory were firmly tipped in favor of the Kree. Subsequent events drew the Brotherhood of Badoon into an alliance with the Kree, and the Zenn-Lavians aligned with the Skrulls. Intervention by the Cotati exposed Kree leader Nenora as a Skrull, and open conflict was suspended with a truce between the Kree and Skrulls.
