Kelene

Kelene is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The character was created by writer Al Milgrom and artist Herb Trimpe. Kelene first appeared in The Incredible Hulk #258 in April 1981. She is a member of the alien species known as the Xartans. Xartans are known for their ability to shapeshift and mimic the appearance of others.

Kelene's role in the comics often involves her interactions with the Hulk and other Marvel characters. She has been depicted as both an adversary and an ally, depending on the circumstances and her species' broader agenda. Her shapeshifting abilities make her a versatile and unpredictable character, capable of infiltrating enemy lines or impersonating allies. Her motivations are typically tied to the interests of the Xartan race, which can sometimes conflict with Earth's inhabitants.

The Xartans, as a race, have a history of manipulation and observation of other civilizations. Kelene embodies these characteristics, often acting as an agent of her people's will. While not a major recurring villain, Kelene has played a part in several storylines, adding a unique alien element to the Marvel universe. Her appearances are notable for the intrigue and deception she brings, leveraging her innate Xartan powers to achieve her objectives.
