History

Prince Dezan was the younger brother of Dorrek VII. Dezan was born with a "true-face" that, since its unusual smoothness resembled that of a Kree or a Human, was considered repulsive by other Skrulls. In his younger days, Dezan and his friends Myrn and Zabyk were inseparable as they spent years plotting ways to correct what they considered to be flaws in imperial society. Eventually, Dezan and Zabyk had a falling out just before Dezan's pacifism and "un-Skrull" activities were discovered and he was imprisoned. With his face hidden and his shape-shifting powers nullified by the Inhibitor Mask he was forced to wear, Dezan was exiled to the prison world of Klarr as a traitor to the Skrull Empire.

Years later, the warlord Raksor came to Klarr and freed Dezan in the hope that he might know how to deal with Myrn and Zabyk who intended to unleash a powerful weapon, the Hyperwave Bomb. Dezan contacted Floyd Donahue, a Skrull from the gangster colony of Kral IV, and paid him plenty to harbor them and transport them aboard his star-zeppelin Big Casino to the Imperial Power Asteroid where the weapon was based.

Along the way, Big Casino encountered a group of Avengers who were travelling to the Power Asteroid to use it to search for the escaped mercenary leader Nebula. After meeting with Dezan and learning about the weapon, the Avengers agreed to help, and they and a disguised Dezan managed to infiltrate the asteroid. Dezan and the Avengers ultimately joined forces with the Fantastic Four, who were also on the Power Asteroid to stop the weapon, but neither group could prevent Zabyk from firing the dreaded weapon. However, to everyone's surprise, the bomb affected only the Skrulls, robbing them all of their shape-changing powers by trapping them in whatever forms they had been in when the bomb detonated.[1]

After the plant-based Cotati took over part of Kral System, including Glenbrook, during their testing of an amplifier for their plant-controlling magic, Skrull emperor Kl'rt the Super-Skrull ordered the deployment of the Pyre, an astronuclear weapon that detonated the star Kral, destroying every planet orbiting it.[2] Nova estimated that around ten thousand Krallians had evacuated before the destruction, including Prince Dezan.[3]
