Yon-Rogg And Starforce
At the beginning of the film, Carol – or Vers, as she’s known on Hala – is a loyal member of the Starforce Kree elite military squad and enjoys a good relationship with her superior officer, played by Jude Law. His name is deliberately not said out loud for much of the film, as hardcore fans are led to believe he’s Mar-Vell. When his villainous nature is revealed, however, his name is finally spoken: Yon-Rogg.
Yon-Rogg is depicted as being responsible for Carol’s powers, as his attempt to steal the real Mar-Vell’s technology results in Carol being forced to destroy it, thereby being infected with its power. The circumstances are different, but Yon-Rogg also plays a key role in Captain Marvel’s origins in the comics as it’s his Psyche-Magnatron that explodes and is responsible for empowering Carol.
Starforce don’t usually have anything to do with Yon-Rogg on the page, but the rest of the members are all present and correct. We surely don’t need to remind you that Korath – plus Ronan, depicted as an ally of Starforce – was last seen in Guardians of the Galaxy. Minn-Erva, meanwhile, another Starforcer, is usually a major enemy of Carol’s, so we suspect she may have survived her apparent death in the climax.
