The Badoon are a reptillian alien species in the fictional Marvel Comics universe.

History

The Badoon are older than the Kree and the Skrulls, meaning their development occurred around 3,500,000 BCE. There was a natural hatred between the two genders, and they fought each other in long gender wars. Eventually, the males won, placing the females in captivity. In time, the males developed technology and abandoned Lotiara, returning only when their mating drive made it necessary. The males became conquerors of worlds, while the females became pacifists, content to remain in peace on their homeworld.

Martinex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (350 words)
Martinex became the last surviving Pluvian after the Badoon exterminated all the other Pluvians.
Martinex escaped the Badoon and teamed with Vance Astro, a human astronaut from the 20th century, Charlie 27, a Jovian, and Yondu, from Alpha Centauri, to fight the Badoon as the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Eventually, the Guardians drove the Badoon from Earth and Martinex later became the team's reluctant leader.
Badoon Sisterhood (Earth-691 @ 31st Century, Defenders characters) (829 words)
However, the Brotherhood of the Badoon is known to be active in the modern era in the Earth-616 reality, so it would seem very likely that the Sisterhood is present in the modern era as well--they just have not yet been encountered.
Given that the Badoon in the modern era are a star-faring race, the separation of the males and the females must have already occurred.
The adopted planet of the Badoon males is Moord, and one of the Badoon males is named Droom.
