Abilities 32 + Skills 7 (14 ranks) + Advantages 5 + Powers 1 + Defenses 6 = 51 / 51
Build Comments: The Badoon have been a staple of the Cosmic Marvel scene for a long time, basically as fodder for their cosmic heroes to beat down. Or for other cosmic races to have a universe-wide cosmic race to reference for an insult.
I think they were Thanos’ foot soldiers in Infinity, but I never read anything that specifically stated that was them, but I couldn’t figure out who else it could be. But then again, half of Infinity, I didn’t know what the hell was going on, so I’m sure I just missed it.
Secret Origins: The Badoon are older than the Kree and the Skrulls. 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 and ignorant of the males' star-spanning empire.
The Story so Far: Among the Brotherhood's conquest attempts are the Zen Whoberi, and the extra-dimensional world of Polemachus. They have been known to form alliances with the Brood (against the Shi'ar and Earth's superhumans), the Kree (against the Skrulls), and Byrrah of Atlantis. They were also responsible for killing a woman who would have become the universe's greatest peacemaker.
Badoon invasion attempts of Earth have been overcome by the Silver Surfer, Namor, and the New Warriors. They were also opposed by the combined forces of the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and Arkon in order to liberate Arkon's homeworld and prevent an invasion of the Shi'ar empire.
At the time of the Annihilation Wave the Badoon Empire controlled 37.7% of the Milky Way Galaxy. Despite this, the Badoon are generally considered a minor species. The time traveller Major Victory warned the Guardians of the Galaxy that they need to take the Badoon seriously, as soon they'll become the greatest military threat in the galaxy.

Build Comments: I’ve been reading more comics online, even though I swore I wouldn’t. One of the reasons is the abundance of free offerings from the major publishers, to get you to try it. One of the free ones I read were the Marvel Infinte comic for Gamora that they put up just before the new Marvel NOW relaunch of the GOG book.
In it, Gamora does some major league goon sweeping of the Badoon and for the climax, she has a prolonged fight with a big-ass Badoon that she actually had a hard time putting down. Not having ever seen a Badoon like that, I figure he was either an Andre the Giant-like anomaly or the Badoon are breeding some brutes. I decided for the Thorpacoverse, they are breeding brutes. I might tweak this one a bit since it based on that one appearance, but they’re basically just higher level mooks that can make characters like the GOG work a bit before ultimately winning.

Build Comments: The Monster of Badoon is a nice, big, ugly powerhouse that the Badoon have broken out against some super teams in the past and he recently got a new look in the previous Guardians of the Galaxy series.
Secret Origins: The monster of Badoon is a monster robot of the Brotherhood of the Badoon. They refer to him as the Weapon of Weapons. He is usually used after all other weapons fail to destroy their target. He has immense strength and durability and has fought the Silver Surfer, the Thing and Colossus.
Recently, the Badoon have created several of the Monsters, as well as other enhanced soldiers, in preparation for an as yet unrevealed campaign.
