History:
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) - During the first days after the fall of Xandar, Drax's harsh combat training "made a man" of Richard Rider.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) - The United Front -- a collection of forces ("anyone or anything still able to hold a weapon") opposing
the Annihilation Wave (the insectoid forces of Annihilus) -- were
soundly defeated on Tartus Minor as they waged a two dimensional war on
the surface while the Annihilation Wave also assaulted them from orbit.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) -
Desiring his ally of convenience Thanos to discover the biological
application of cosmic power, Annihilus ordered his forces to apprehend
Heralds of Galactus.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) - The United Front established a base on Daedalus 5 on the
periphery of the Kree system. Nova (Richard Rider) served as the
commander-in-chief (Alpha Prime), with Peter Quill as his second-in-command.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) - Despite Rider's prodding, Quill adamantly refused to resume his Starlord identity, weaponry, etc.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) - Drax taught Rider that you could not lead from the rear of a battle.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) - The remnants of the Skrull Empire were largely wiped out by the Annihilation Wave.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) - At some point, Rider developed a romantic relationship with Gamora.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) -
With the House of Fiyero in control of Hala, they just sent warm bodies
against the Wave, and Kree casualties were staggering.
|
.
.
|
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) -
Gamora ran black-ops, with over twelve hit-and-run teams targeting the
Wave's command centers. Both Quill and Rider suspected that she was
using suicide runners.
(Annihilation#1) <Annihilation Day, plus 204> - As the
Annihilation Wave attacked the command center, the United Front held
them off for a time, which Rider considered a significant improvement
over barely slowing them down.
|
.
.
|
 Meanwhile, Firelord, Red Shift,
and Stardust were active in Daedalus 5's orbit, taking out Annihilation
Wave ships and preventing them from assaulting the ground forces.
Quill advised Rider that with the Skrulls gone he
had better have an ace up his sleeve, and he further predicted that the
force fields would not hold. Quill continued that all non-essential
personnel were falling back to the second perimeter and that this was a
massacre in the making, although if they were going to make a last
stand, he preferred it to be on their tems.
|
.
|
As predicted by Quill, one of the
force fields (Right Flank 076) blew, and Quill further noted that it
was going to cascade.
At Right Flank 076, the 2nd and
3rd Kree battalions, ineffectively led by field commander Lar-Ka, were
instructed to hold their ground while being overwhelmed by the swarming
Annihilation Wave.
Ronan provided tactical guidance, and when Lar-Ka
refused to acknowledge his authority and noted his allegiance to House
Fiyero, Ronan smashed his skull, fatally relieving him of his duties.
With the other Kree still respecting Ronan, he led them in a tactical
and orderly retreat that would otherwise have been a bloodbath, which
also bought Rider's forces some desperately needed time.
Although the
Kree positions were the hardest hit, with Ronan's lead, they suffered
the fewest casualties.
Rider ordered Quill to instruct
all forces to pull back to secondary perimeter, but as they did so
Rider engaged the Wave directly.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) - All force fields collapsed.
(Annihilation#1) - As
a Kree captain took Cammi to safety against her will, Drax relentlessly
attacked the Annihilation Wave, and as he was on the verge of being
overwhelmed, Rider flew in and grabbed him. When Drax advised that the
Wave was catching up to the wounded and that Rider needed to make a
decision to accept losing hundreds as opposed to losing thousands,
Rider dropped Drax to the ground, contacted barrage command and
instructed them to initiate full-scope heavy ordinance blanket
bombardment, homing in on his position and clearing the zone.
|
|
(Annihilation#1 (fb)) -
Firelord attacked the Annihilation Wave's flagship, virtually
exhausting his energies in the process. Confronting Extirpia, one of
Annihilus' queens, who was commanding the hive-mind structure of the
assault, he incapacitated her and himself in the process.
With Extirpia cut off from the
Wave, their attack fell into disarray, and they were swiftly overcome
by the United Front.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) -
Although considering that they should press their lead and drive back
the Annihilation Wave, Quill was reluctant, as the last time he had
pressed his luck, it had gone badly.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) - Red Shift and Stardust brought the inert Firelord as well as Extirpia back to Daedalus 5.
Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) -
Firelord was examined by staff including the Rigellian Mari, who had no
idea what to make of his Galactus-altered form. Extirpia was physically
and mentally restrained.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) -
Presumably recovered by Drax, Rider apparently had lost a leg but had a
new one grown by the medicos; while it was in the process, Quill told
him how Firelord had ended the fight.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) - Gamora refused to come in until the last straggler was accounted for.
(Annihilation#1 - BTS) - As
Thanos learned all he had needed, Annihilus instructed his agent
Ravenous to terminate any remaining Heralds of Galactus.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) -
The Shi'ar continued their "wait-and-see" strategy while denying that
that was what they were doing.
(Annihilation#1) <Annihilation
Day plus 206> - Rider and Quill visited the inert Firelord and then
Extirpia, the latter of whom revealed how Annihilus, with the aid of
Thanos and the Proemial Gods Aegis and Tenebrous, had defeated Galactus.
|
.
.
|
 (Annihilation#2) <Annihilation
Day plus 212> - The arriving Phyla-Vell informed Drax that Thanos had captured Moondragon.
When a trio of Kree captains loyal to House Fiyero attempted to arrest
Ronan, he instead slew them all. Ronan subsequently requested a Kree battalion to topple
House Fiyero to ensure the Kree stayed allied with the United Front,
but Nova denied this, considering his forces already stretched too thin.
Praxagora and her associates then arrived with
the apparent corpse of Kl'rt (aka the Super-Skrull), but her efforts to
ally with them were met with skepticism due to her Negative Zone
agents.
Teleporting in via Thanos' technology, Ravenous
-- joined by six of his Currs, the Elan Delinquent (formerly the Infant
Terrible), the Mad Thinker's "most powerful android," Paibok the
Power-Skrull, and Terrax the Tamer (with the Delinquent and Terrax, at
least, under the influence of worm-like creatures infesting and
controlling their bodies) -- confronted the United Front, and Nova had
Quill summon Red Shift and Stardust down from space to aid in the
fight. The Front gained an advantage in the fight, but then the
Centurions -- 100 superhuman warriors from each of the worlds
controlled by Annihilus -- teleported in.
(Annihilation#3) - Despite
Drax's having allegedly stabbed the Delinquent three dozen times, the
youth survived while Drax was assaulted by one of the Centurions.
As Annihilation Wave forces were
teleported in, Red Shift was the first to realize that the entire
planet was lost. He instructed Stardust to slear an evacuation corridor
for the emergency ships.
At Praxagora's request, the Rigellian physican Mari took Kl'rt into the medical facility.
(Annihilation#3 - BTS) -
Teleporting into the Annihilation Wave's perimeter around Daedalus 5,
Annihilus destroyed his own fleet when they offered excuses for the
planet's continued existence, with the desired goal that the remaining
forces would fear him more than the resistance.
|
.
Having devised the means to use
Galactus' technology to devour worlds while feeding the energies
obtained into Annihilus' fleet, Thanos used Daedalus 5 as a
demonstration of this weapon.
(Annihilation#3) - Ronan and
Ravenous' battle brought them into the medical facility, and Mari
futilely blasted Ravenous. After Ronan was incapacitated shielding Mari
from Ravenous' assault, the revived Firelord attacked Ravenous.
(Annihilation#3 (fb) - BTS) - While Ravenous escaped, the energies unleashed in the battle served to revive Kl'rt from his inert state.
(Annihilation#3) - Drax advised Nova that they needed to depart the planet immediately or all would perish.
While Gamore overwhelmed and prepared to execute
Terrax, she was pulled away by Stardust for immediate evacuation; Nova
advised her to get her Graces gathered up and running.
As Mari crawled from the wreckage, Kl'rt blasted off the debris covering himself, Firelord, and Ronan.
While the rest of the United Front fled in a
starship, Drax dove back to battle the Annihilation Wave, despite
Cammi's protests.
As Thanos unleashed the Galactus Weapon, Red
Shift and Stardust held back the assault long enough for the United
Front's ship to escape the planet; both heralds were believed to have
perished in the process.
However, for everyone they successfully evacuated, a dozen were left behind.
.
The United Front subsequently dissolved, with
some of their number resolving to continue a guerilla war against the
Annihilation Wave.
Ronan, Praxagora, and Kl'rt departed to take out
House Fiyero.

Comments: Created by Keith Giffen and Andrea DeVito.
There are numerous unidentified,
distinct-looking characters in the various panels, and I spent WAY too
much time trying to get larger images of each of them in a sub-profile
for discussion, often below the main image in which we saw them.
However, there were also a number of generic Kree and Skrulls, and I
did not make an effort to scan or focus on all of those.
Kika will also get an expansion to a full
profile in the not too distant future. Praxagora will be a way off...

Technicians supervising Extirpia
  Following
her incapacitation by Firelord, Extirpia was taken captive and held on
Daedalus-5, where technicians kept her incapacitated.
--Annihilation#1
Note: The image is from page 22, panel 3
Extirpia is the large figure held in manacles.
Nova (Rich Rider) and Peter Quill (then formerly Star-Lord) are the
figures in shadows at the back of the image.
Additionally, we have the green individual at the forefront; a long-haired, blue-skinned male; a
balding blue-skinned male; a red being with a tail for a lower body,
and a partially-shadowed, apparently blue-skinned being with a prominent ridge atop the head.
Loki suggested that the darker blue-skinned guy with the ridge could be a Gegku,
as it possible they aren't all green (certainly we have multiple skin
colors amongst humanity). We've only seen them thus far in Reality-829 (Hercules in the 24th Century), but that does not mean they don't exist in Reality-616.
He reminds me of the Constrictor (Frank
Payne), the on-and-off super hero vs. super-villain with the
electrically-charged Adamantium coils he projects from his uniform's
wrists. This guy.
.
.
.
|
  .
The green-skinned technician is lacking any external nasal structure and has solid yellow eyes.
Two small lateral ridges on either side of a central thicker ridge atop the head
There is almost a chitinous/armor look to prominent maxillary lips/cheeks.
Three fingers and a thumb on each hand
This is a well-detailed being, but he doesn't
really fit any race I could think of. I initially thought Alpha Centauri until I opened the link to that race, and I saw the resemblance was minimal.
|
.
.
 The blue-skinned, balding, heavy-set technician wielded some sort of injection gun, perhaps an emergency sedative.
Given his blue skin and the large number of
Kree associated with the United Front, it would seem very likely that
this guy is a Kree.
However, it is certainly possible that he is a
member of another blue-skinned race, or maybe he's a mutant member of
some non-blue-skinned race.
.
.
The red-skinned technician has four arms, each with a thumb and
perhaps 2-3 fingers on each hand, as well a serpentine lower body.
This technician also has a mane that seems to run like a mohawk
over its head, down its back, and over a significant length of its tail.
He or she is only seen from behind, so nothing can be said about
the facial structure, but there do seem to be scutes running down the
front of the chest and presumably continuing down the lower body/tail.
The Lem race
has a body conformation and skin color that fits well to this
character. However, the Lem have large, pointed ears, and the ones
we've seen don't have hair or four arms.
Perhaps he is a mutant member of the Lem, as we certainly have
mutant or mutate or genetically-engineered humans with four or more
arms, despite this not being standard for humanity.
|
 .
The blue-skinned, long-haired technician is also presumably Kree...but possibly not.

  The Rigellian Mari apparently led the facility that cared for the injured
Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) -
Firelord was examined by staff including the Rigellian Mari, who had no
idea what to make of his Galactus-altered form. Extirpia was physically
and mentally restrained.
(Annihilation#1 (fb) - BTS) -
Presumably recovered by Drax, Rider apparently had lost a leg but had a
new one grown by the medicos; while it was in the process, Quill told
him how Firelord had ended the fight.
--Annihilation#1
Other notable beings at the facility in this image -- beyond Mari, Nova
(Rich Rider), Peter Quill and Firelord -- include the being on the
platform above Mari's left shoulder in the above images; the cloaked two-fingered woman tending to what appeared to be a wounded Kree; the digitigrade two-fingered cloaked being apparently tending to the humanoid woman in the tank; and the floating medical droid.
Others in the medical facility include the pink-skinned bald guy with sideburns, and four mobile medics.
|
  These beings appeared to be doctors, nurses, or medical technicians.
They shared similar garb with loose sleeves, utility belts, and hoods.
Maybe they were part of some religious order?
Maybe they have healing powers or just special training.
Other beings are seen more distantly, but two are seen more clearly.
The woman does not appear to have an external nasal structure.
She appears to have two fingers and a thumb.
She appears to have breasts, which would typically indicate some mammalian nature.
Her legs are not clearly seen...she may be
plantigrade, walking on the heel like a human, or digitigrade, with the
tarsus/hock/ankle being elevated and with the metatarsophalangeal joint
being in contact with the ground.
The other cloaked person is shown from behind,
and the face and gender can't be determined (although the figure
strikes me as more masculine).
The being appears to have two fingers and a thumb.
The being has a digitigrade stance (see above), with at least two toes on each foot.
I had initially suspected this character to be
Kymellian, although the fingers are thinner, and the feet look more
like a pachyderms.
However, I had also not considered that the
woman's longer cloak could easily be covering legs with a digitigrade
stance.
I wonder if the two are meant to be the same
race, or just of the same order, like Jedi in the Star Wars saga.

 Medical Droid and female humanoid in a tank
An unidentified female humanoid
was kept in some sort of regenerative and/or stasis fluid tank, with a
mask presumably connected to air she could breathe.
.
 A largely radially symmetric medical
droid floated/flew threw the air, delivering medical products,
including syringes and presumably fluid bags for intravenous therapy.
It is unclear whether the droid gave injections or
whether it just transported the drugs, syringes and needles to another
medical professional.
|
.
.
 Numerous beings were observed in the medical facility while the United
Front battled the Centurions and other Annihilation forces outside.
Beyond Mari, Firelord in a tank, the seemingly deceased Super-Skrull
(Kl'rt) lying prone on a table, the only the character to the left is
seen clearly.
He was presumably a medic or doctor of some sort.
He has perhaps pink skin with sideburns but an
otherwise bald head (with numerous spots), with solid yellow eyes and
no visible external nasal structure.
Note: Image from Annihilation#3, pg. 11, panel 2
|
.
Mari sent a group of medics to help the
wounded during the battle. At the same time, Praxagora carried the
seemingly deceased Super-Skrull toward the medical facility.
The one to the far left in the image has an
appearance similar to the green tech who worked on Extirpia, but with
hair on the back of his head. He looked to have two fingers and a thumb
on each hand.
.
The one behind and to the right has orange or
pink skin, with a distinct blunt projection from the back of his head.
.
Central and toward the top, closest to Mari,
is a cyclopean being with a a widened, ellipsoid upper portion of the
head, and a more narrow lower facial portion that tapered inferiorly.
It is unclear whether this being was organic or an android, etc.
.
At the bottom right was a bald humanoid with a
bionic left eye and other portions of the upper left of his face.

spike-backed, curved-tapered head soldier
 .
.
In the opening scene where Nova (Rider) and Quill
supervised the battle against the approaching Annihilation Wave,
amongst numerous Kree soldiers, this guy, with spikes on his back and
either a curved, tapering skull or helmet shaped in that fashion was
seen from behind, firing an energy rifle at the insectoid creatures.

gray-skinned, spiked-headed soldier
 
In the opening scene where Nova (Rider) and Quill
supervised the battle against the approaching Annihilation Wave,
amongst numerous Kree soldiers, this guy, with gray skin, spikes running down the top his head, seemed to stand guard over the platform upon which Nova and Quill stood.
He had a number of pointed projections running
along the lateral surface of his cheeks and connecting as they
ran along his chin.
He carried a rifle of some sort.

insectoid?, 4-armed, & long-ear
  As
Quill and Rider stepped off the top base and discussed their imminent
defeat by the Annihilation Wave, they passed by a number of aliens,
including:
a gray (or just shadowed) being with an insectoid or exoskeleton
plate on top of the head, seen only in profile in the lower left.
a Skrull female with a large rifle weapon, seen only in posterior view.
a non-distinctive Kree male with a rifle weapon
a four-armed
mechanoid or armored organic being, possible cyclopean, standing in the background with a raised weapon
a long-eared guy helping an injured
Kree.
--Annihilation#1
note: This image is from Annihilation#1, pg. 1, panel 2 (or bottom row, central image for pg. 1-2) |
gray, spotted guy with yellow eyes and spiked mandible
As the Annihilation Wave began to overwhelm the force fields, this
being, presumably a solider was seen looking up at the fields.
He(?) appears to be gray or blue, with spots on his neck and
shoulders, yellow eyes, and small, spiked projections from his mandible
(lower jaw).
--Annihilation#1
Note: This image is from Annihilation#1, pg. 3, panel 3

Kika, Nova, Quill, big hairy guy & longhair gunman
 As
the force generators of their base began to break down, Kika --
standing next to a big hairy guy -- informed Quill that they were out
of there.
A gunman with long hair was seen from thorax up in posterior view on the stairs just below them.
--Annihilation#1
Note: This image is from Annihilation#1, pg. 6, panel 1 and 2
Closeups of the big hairy guy and the long-haired gunman are in sub-profiles below.
|
 
Big and hairy, with a spike on the top of head, and additional spikes
on his elbows and the lateral aspects of his thighs, he looks somewhat
like a Baluurian, but not quite.
He wore armored shoulder pads and a bandoleer, and he carried a large weapon.
--Annihilation#1
Note: These images are from Annihilation#1, pg.6, panel 1-2 (closeups of the above images).
As he was seen with three other known
characters, it would seem like this guy was meant to be a known
character, as well, but I can't place him...
|
This guy, while long-white hair, is shown from behind, holding a rifle
weapon on the steps or level just below Rider and his associates.
You can't see his face, skin, etc., so there's not much else to say about him...

long-haired-female & male with canteen
On Annihilation Day, plus 206, after Firelord had taken down Extirpia
and both had been brought to the United Front's base.
Of note were two soldiers, one who was a
humanoid woman with long hair on her head and tattoos on her right arm.
She was handing a canteen to another soldier, who appeared to also have
long hair, but to also have lenses over his eyes, no visible external
nasal structure, and possibly either some sort of chitinous plate or
body armor over the top of his head.

green-gun-clutching & orange-sling
 On Annihilation Day, plus 206, after Firelord had taken
down Extirpia and both had been brought to the United Front's base...
In addition to Rich Rider centrally and a number of Kree in the background....
A green-skinned male humanoid whose upper lip
draped over his mandible and who had perhaps two (or maybe an unseen
third) fingers and, presumably, a thumb. Whether sleeping, exhausted,
and/or mentally distraught, he sat, clutching his rifle.
Beside him sat an orange male humanoid with spiked
hair or spikes on his head, and some sort of projection extending from
his zygomatic processes (cheekbones) in the inferior (downward)
direction before extending laterally upon reaching the bottom of the
lower jaw. He likely had a broken radius and/or ulna, or perhaps just a
wound to the muscle in that region, as he had a sling to support his
lower forearm.

green-skin gray hair gun-polisher
  On Annihilation Day, plus 206, after Firelord had taken
down Extirpia and both had been brought to the United Front's base. As Drax sharpened his knife and chatted with Cammi...
A male soldier with green skin and gray hair
(extending back into something of a point) was seen polishing his rifle
weapon.
Additionally, a pale yellow-ish character with
spikes on his head and apparently downward facing horns or tentacles
was see carrying a sack of something.

orange-skinned, facial hair & green-skinned, spike-chin in durag
 
<Annihilation Day, Plus 212> - An orange-skinned male with
grayish hair that extended down the side of his face, and either
lacking or having a very small external nasal structure, leaned against
a wall and drank from a canteen with a forearm bandaged from presumably
superficial injury.
Opposite him was a green-skinned male with
spikes on his chin wearing a durag and holding a large rifle with a
bayonet. He appeared to have four fingers and a thumb
Both men appeared to be on guard duty.
Two other males were seen in a distance, including
the bald male, with a rifle slung over his shoulder, walking toward the
viewer; and the presumed male with bushy hair, carrying his rifle and
walking away from the viewer.

green-skinned elongated head & green-skinned squid-head
 
<Annihilation Day, Plus 212> - A green male with an elongated,
posteriorly pointed head, no obvious nasal structure, and lateral
projections from his mandibular ramus-region (lateral side of lower
face) handed a canteen to a Kree soldier.
Below them, a Kree soldier with a head bandage
sat, while a green male with a squid-like head, a pair of projections
extending down from his upper lip region and with a bare chest walked
away from them.

beige-skinned, elongated head male;
pink, spikey-headed, digitigrade being;
green-skinned, pointed eared, scarred being
 
<Annihilation Day, Plus 212> - Outside of the building in which
Ronan, Quill and Nova (Rider) met with the Kree captains loyal to House
Fiyero, a number of Kree soldiers and others walked.
There was (as pictured on the far left) a beige (maybe cosmic latte)-skinned male with an elongated,
posteriorly pointed head, with a central row of ridges. He may or may
not have had nostrils without a nasal protuberance, and he also had
three slits on the side(s) of his head that may have had an auditory
function or may have been gills. He wore a full suit of body armor.
There was (as pictured to the near right) also a
pink-skinned being with a series of pointed projections running down
the center of the upper and back part of its head (it may or may not
have had similar projections running down its neck and back). Although
its face was not seen clearly, it was somewhat elongated with a
forward-projecting mandible and maxilla. It had two fingers and likely
a thumb on each hand. It digitigrade legs, with perhaps three
relatively flat toes on each foot (almost reminiscent of a pachyderm's
toes). It worse some sort of tunic with a loincloth reminiscent of
something a Roman gladiator might wear (at least in the movies). It
used some sort of tablet.
Additionally, there was (as pictured on the far
right) a green-skinned, pointed eared being with a scar running from
the central portion of his forehead down and to the right over his
right eye and ending toward the bottom of his right cheek. He might
appear Skrull-like if not for the lower part of his face, which had
some structure extending down from between its eyes and then splitting
into two parts that extended down below either side of its chin. Its
mouth was obscured by the above structure, but it had three blunt
projections from each side of its lower jaw.

Fiyero.
When the Kree captains loyal to House Fiyero attempted to arrest
Ronan, he instead slew them all.

Ralek, insectoid, face-plate
 
<Annihilation Day, Plus 212> - Praxagora arrived, alongside
numerous others, bearing the inert but seemingly deceased Super-Skrull. A large crowd gathered around them when they were introduced to Gamora, Quill, Nova and Ronan.
The only other one identified by name amongst the group with Praxagora (the metal woman) was Ralek,
who had gray-ish skin, a number of spikes poking from his head, no
visible nasal structure, three fingers and a thumb on each hand. He
held a canteen to refill the bowl from which Praxagora was drinking.
I'm not sure what was contained in the canteen. He is seen in partial
profile on the left side of the image to the left, and an oblique
posterior view in the image on the right.
Also noteworthy was the shorter,
brown-skinned, apparently insectoid being to their right, who had a
broad face, solid bright yellow eyes, and paired stalks or antennae on
either side of the top of his head, as well as another stalk projecting
downward on either side of his chin. I believe that's him on the left
side of the image to the right, but the stalks aren't visible in that
image.
Additionally, behind Praxagora was a bald being with mask/plate covering the lower part of his face (where a nose and mouth might be).
Also seen are a blond humanoid woman (either
in armor or possibly with bionic body parts), another semi-insectoid
being, and a person in a cloak.

crowd around Super-Skrull
In the same crowd (on different ends of the panel), we see a number of
Kree (including a less commonly seen female Kree soldier.
In the panel to the left:
To the Kree woman's left, there is a gray or
green with spikes running down the top of his head and around the
"crown" of his skull. He also wears some red body armor and carries a
rifle.
To the left and behind that guy, there is an
orange-headed, three-eyed character with head that flares out at the
top. He also wears some sort of body armor.
To the left and in front of the spikey guy is a
gray-green guy with a row of rides running down the center of his head.
Bald on top, he has long hair extending from the sides (he reminds me of Klingon from Star Trek). He had a number of armored plates across his upper body, especially the shoulders and forearms.
To the left and behind that guy, there's a
light gray guy with bushy hair and beard, apparently pointy ears
extending laterally (or else that's just hair), and lacking any visible
external nasal structure. He also seems to be wearing body armor.
.
In the panel to the right:
At the top left of the panel, there's a pink
or orange, somewhat squid-headed guy (bald, with a number of tentacles
hanging from the lower portion of his face). He has digitigrade limbs
with three toes on each foot. He has also visited the shoulder and
forearm armorer.
In front of that guy, there is a light yellow-green bald character with pointed ears and a short, thick tail.

bald female
<Annihilation Day, Plus 212> - After Ravenous and his forces had
arrived, Praxagora, Ronan, Gamora, Nova (Rider) and Quill reacted.
A number of Kree stood to their right.
Behind them and to their left, close to the
wall stood a pale, maybe orange-skinned, bald alien with a somewhat
pointed head, with spikes around the crown.
She (the outfit looked like a dress, and the
leg and stocking appeared be feminine) had solid white eyes, but no
obvious external nasal structure.
She also held an energy rifle.
--Annihilation#2
Note: This image is from Annihilation#2, pg. 16, panel 1 (far right)

As Ronan, Kl'rt (Super-Skrull) and Praxagora prepared to depart to take
down the House Fiyero, a few beings were seen in the periphery.
To the far left corner of the image (cut off
on the image to the right), the upper portion of the head of a
dark-eyed being with tan and brown skin with circular pattern was seen.
--Annihilation#3
Note: This image is from Annihilation#3, pg. 25, panel 1
The other characters are described in the cell below
|
 .
 Atop the ship, a pale green, digitigrade being worked on the perhaps setting up the fueling/charging.
In the bottom right, an apparently insectoid
being with green skin/chitin, bright yellow eyes and perhaps two digits
on each hand and holding a tablet discussed something that seemed to be
a matter of contention with another being.
The other being, perhaps a robot or wearing
armor, as the elbows seemed to be hinged, had some sort of headdress
with projections pointing in the posterior direction. This being's
limbs were beige or tan, and its outfit was more of a light brown.
