"The changes may not be on the surface... but buried inside. You must understand, these creatures are weapons... abominations... even if they don't know it."
―Vin-Tak to Skye[src]

Vin-Tak is a Kree warrior who came to Earth to track down the newly activated Inhumans. During this mission he was confronted by Sif and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who attempted to stop him.

Biography[]

Hunting for Inhumans[]

Arriving on Earth[]

"When I saw that an ancient signal had been triggered, I knew it had to be a Diviner. If the Kree Empire learned that these experiments were a success, they would be likely to renew them."
"Why did you come here?"
"These transformed beings are... abominations. I knew that I had to find the remainder of the Diviners before another monstrosity occurred, and erase any knowledge of it."
―Vin-Tak and Melinda May[src]

When a Diviner was activated by Raina, Vin-Tak ventured to Earth in disguise so he could put an end to the Terrigenesis experiments used by the ancient Kree. However, his presence was detected by Heimdall, so "Odin" sent Sif to apprehend him.[1]

Fighting Lady Sif[]

"So you came to pick a fight."
"We know enough about Kree history to be concerned."
―Vin-Tak and Sif[src]

Vik-Tak fights against Lady Sif

Vin-Tak arrived in Portugal, and in Faro, he was confronted by Sif. The two fought with Sif having the upper hand. She managed to seemingly defeat him, until Vin-Tak used his Truncheon to catch her off-guard and erase her memories before throwing her into the ocean. However, Sif was able to destroy a part of Vin-Tak's nitrogen-cloaking device. In order to repair the damages, he needed to steal caps from helium bottles from a vendor.

Vin-Tak threatens a nurse with his Truncheon

In his attempt to get nitrogen to repair his damaged cloaking device, Vin-Tak went to a hospital to locate some nitrogen, but he was forced to erase a nurse's memory to make sure she did not remember him turning blue. However, once he got the nitrogen, he was confronted by Skye and Bobbi Morse just as he was completing disguising himself. Vin-Tak fought off Morse but escaped them when Skye accidentally caused an earthquake with her Inhuman powers. Having escaped, he continued his search for the Diviners.[1]

Captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.[]

Vin-Tak is finally captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.

"I am here to help."
"Is that why you attacked me, Kree?"
"You were the one who attacked! I had to take your memory to keep you from tracking me. How did you track me?"
―Vin-Tak and Sif[src]

Vin-Tak soon located the crate of Diviners that had been hidden all those years earlier in Chaves. But before he could destroy them, he was then found and captured by Phil Coulson and his team. He was taken back to the Bus and interrogated by Coulson and Sif as to his presence on Earth, where he explained he had come to save Earth from the Inhumans, insisting his intentions were noble. As a sign of good faith, Vin-Tak restored Sif's memory.

Vin-Tak explains the history of the Inhumans

He then explained the origins of the Inhumans, and that if the Kree Empire were to find out that the experiments were successful, the violent factions would rise again; therefore, these creatures had to be eliminated. When asked about what she saw during Raina's metamorphosis, the entire room began to shake. It was soon discovered that Skye had begun to panic and caused another earthquake. When Vin-Tak realized that she was an Inhuman he instantly threatened to kill her.

WYRA 11

Vin-Tak furiously fights against Bobbi Morse

Phil Coulson and Melinda May took Skye to safety. While pursuing her, Vin-Tak fought his way through Alphonso Mackenzie and Lance Hunter with ease before fighting Bobbi Morse for a second time. He remained confident, citing that Morse lost their previous bout and would undoubtedly lose their second. Vin-Tak gained the upper hand in the battle until he was shot with the Destroyer Armor Prototype Gun, fired by Leo Fitz, which sent him flying across the room. Morse used this momentary advantage and turned Vin-Tak's Truncheon against him, erasing his memories of the events and leaving him confused over what he was doing there in the first place.[1]

Leaving Earth[]

Vin-Tak leaves Earth

"I apologize for my forgetfulness, you have been very kind... Why is my hand not blue?"
"You were in disguise from the people pursuing you, remember?"
"Right, I will keep watch."
―Vin-Tak and Phil Coulson[src]

He was taken away by Sif to return to Hala, confused but grateful to be going home. While awaiting their transport, Vin-Tak said goodbye to Phil Coulson and Melinda May; when he questioned why his skin was not blue, Coulson reminded him of his cloaking device. Once Sif had finished saying her goodbyes to her allies, she called on Heimdall to open the Bifrost Bridge and take them home.[1]

"The Kree has a name. And that only works when in my hand."
Sif and Vin-Tak[src]
  • Truncheon: During his mission to Earth, Vin-Tak carried with him a truncheon, which worked as both a melee weapon and a means of wiping the memories of other sentient beings in case his true nature and purpose were to be exposed. He used it to battle both Lady Sif and Bobbi Morse, wiping and later restoring Sif's memories with it.

Other Equipment[]

"The guy was blue, like "he just tested some Willy Wonka gum" blue, and he needed nitrogen for whatever device turned his skin pink."
Skye to Phil Coulson[src]
  • Cloaking Device: Vin-Tak disguised as a human to blend in while on Earth thanks to a cloaking device which turned his skin from blue to human-like. The device functioned with nitrogen and was damaged during the Duel of Faro, but Vin-Tak managed to repair it sometime later.
