Omega Confederation who were profiting from the natural resources of Kagan 7. In an attempt to quickly and quietly squash the Krook King's opposition, the Confederation contracted the
Deadpool Corps to do the job. However,
Deadpool saw the mission as an opportunity to gain a major payday.

Broken Blade. These actions created a civil war between the Krook people, resulting in Teela being elected to the position of Queen. The Krook King found and ally in
