Fictional character biography

edit

Bereet was a Krylorian techno-artist who used her alien technology to produce films concerning fictional adventures of herself and the Hulk. Most of the population is obsessed with the escapist movie-like fantasies of techno-art films, leading to her popularity among her people.[2] Bereet later travels to Earth, befriends the Hulk and Rick Jones, and encounters the criminal Jackdaw.[3]

Krylor and its population were destroyed by Ego the Living Planet during the Maximum Security crossover.[4]

Bereet does not possess any superhuman physical abilities besides a semi-avian physiology with hollow bones. However, she wields various technology of her own design, including floating cameras and a bag containing a small pocket dimension.
