* PragmaticAdaption: The animated series WesternAnimation/AvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes has an episode named "Operation Galactic Storm". It takes some general ideas from the crossover: the wormholes next to the sun, the destruction of the Supreme Intelligence, the evolutionary dead end of the Kree... but the Nega-Bomb and the holocaust of the Kree empire are completely skipped. Remember that it was a kids show, they managed to pull many things anyway, but this would have been too much.

* NotSoDifferent: An interesting case when the cruel Deathbird saw that her machinations beared fruit, and her compasive sister Lilandra had sent the Nega-Bomb against the Kree (she did not know yet about the Skrulls, or how the Supreme Intelligence manipulated ''her''). First Deathbird gloated that, in the end, her sister was NotSoDifferent from her, if she finally found the strength to fire the bomb... and, some moments later, surrounded by dead Kree corpses, feared that it was her who was NotSoDifferent from her sister, as she was now fearing for her dammed soul.

* NiceJobFixingItVillain: According to ''ComicBook/AvengersForever'', the guardian of time Immortus wanted to make the Avengers return to Earth right away, and prevent any potential break of the AlienNonInterferenceClause. For this end, he subtly gave a feeling of interstellar xenophobia to Iron Man, reasoning that it would make him desire to return to his planet. It backfired. Before Immortus could do anything about it, this xenophobia was channeled the wrong way: it turned into hatred for the Supreme Intelligence, boosting the Avengers to execute thing... the precise type of thing that Immortus wanted to prevent.

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Before the explosion, Vision and Wonder Man were trapped inside the bomb, and may be able to defuse it if they want. Key words: ''if they want''. The Vision argued that [[StrawVulcan the most logical thing to do]] was to allow the explosion, as that would end the war and the Kree threat to mankind. Wonder Man was not willing to take part in a genocide, and ultimately convinced him (yes, the bomb finally exploded, but that was when the Skrulls showed up). It can be argued that the Vision made up for his previous declined support of genocide by siding with the heroes who wanted to execute the Supreme Intelligence for his action.

'''Operation: Galactic Storm''' was a 1992 BatFamilyCrossover of Comicbook/TheAvengers. The main idea was drafted by Mark Gruenwald, Bob Harras and Fabian Nicieza, and it took place in the pages of Avengers, Avengers West Coast, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Wonder Man and Quasar. It is about the ForeverWar of two alien races, the Kree and the Shi'Ar

Rick Jones had a weird dream, with Captain America in Hala (the Kree homeworld), right after its destruction. He arranged a meeting with him, to told him about that dream, and intended to have no further role in any cosmic conflict. Fat chance. Right during that conversation, an alien tries to abduct Jones, but it was not a Kree, but a Shi'Ar. He's part of the Imperial Guard, a group of Shi'Ar superheroes, and there's also Starforce, a group of Kree superheroes. Both of them try to secure Kree artifacts left in Earth, and the Avengers try to make some order. And Quasar has bad news: the Kree and the Shi'Ar use a space portal located very near of the sun, wich disrupts its natural activity.

The Avengers divide in 3 teams: one will stay in Earth, the second will visit the Kree, and the third will visit the Shi'ar. They are all incapable to convince the alien empires to quit using the portal or stop the war, and Lilandra even sends the Nega-Bomb (a weapon of mass destruction of intergalactic scale) to the Kree galaxy. She is eventually convinced to retrieve it and begin peace negotiations, but it was too late: the bomb had been stolen by Skrulls (who have an even greater feud with the Kree), who make it well sure that it explodes.

For a number of circumstances [[PlotArmour all the Avengers survived the explosion]], which decimated the 90% of the Kree empire. But the actual architect of the Kree genocide were not the Shi'Ar or the Skrulls: it was the Supreme Intelligence, the leader of the Kree. The Kree were in an evolutionary dead end, and he did this so that the Kree emerging from the disaster were stronger.

What to do about it? The Avengers are divided. Captain America, Crystal, Starfox, Clint Barton, Living Lighting, Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau), the Scarlet Witch and Quasar think that ThouShaltNotKill. Iron Man, Black Knight, Sersi, Hercules, Vision, Wonder Man and Thor (Eric Masterson) think that they must avenge the dead, and so executed the Supreme Intelligence.
