History[]
Captain Marvel[]
He appears as a leader and councillor of The Kree, answering to The Supreme Intelligence, and a ruthless warlord working as Thanos's lieutenant. He employs Yon Rogg to help Thanos wipe out the entire universe population, starting with The Skrull Empire. However, Ronan noticed that The Starforce are failing their mission, thus he decided to contact Yon Rogg via holgram and he orders the ruthless commander to stop his operations, implying that he will continue them all by himself. Yon Rogg however disagrees, as he is eager to prove Thanos that he is better than Ronan and that he should be his right-hand man and heir to the throne of The Black Order. Ronan is later informed by Yon Rogg about Carol Denver/Captain Marvel's location. Ready to prove himself to Thanos instead of Yon Rogg, Ronan launches a space attack on Captain Marvel, but she manages to destroy the aircrafts which Ronan had sent. Ronan is scared off by her, but he swears to return for the human race.
Guardians of The Galaxy[]
Ronan returns as the main antagonist of this movie, as Thanos is the overarching antagonist of the film. He is sent by Thanos to retrieve the orb and help him wipe out the populace of the entire universe. He also plotted with Thanos to conquer Xandar. He sent Gamora to retrieve the orb and kill The Guardians for him and Thanos, not realizing that she will eventually betray him.
Later, Ronan is called by the Other because Thanos wants to talk to him. During the meeting the Other passes belittling Ronan, eventually yelling at him for raising his voice in Thanos' presence. Ronan, tired of the Other's insults, kills him with his Universal Weapon, prompting Thanos to turn around and speak to him directly, saying their deal is still in place but he will kill him if he does not bring him the Orb.
Ronan finally tracks Gamora thanks to a message from Drax, Ronan pursues Gamora but is stopped by Drax that only seeks revenge against him for murdering his family. Ronan easily defeats Drax, Nebula called to inform him that she has recovered the Orb.
After recovering the orb, he betrays Thanos in order to gain the orb and control the universe himself. He later confronts The Guardians of The Galaxy, attempting to defeat them and destroy the human race. However, they hold hands and use the power of the orb, thus defeating and ending The Accuser for good.
