Origin
Princess Cal'Syee Neramani was the first born to the ruling family of the Shi'ar Empire.  Unlike her younger siblings D'Ken and Lilandra, Cal'Syee was born with atavistic characteristics - an extraordinary evolutionary mutation reminiscent of the Shi'ar species evolution from birds.

For crimes against the state Cal'Syee was denied ascension to the throne and exiled from the Shi'ar Galaxy.  Her starship crippled, Cal'Syee eventually made her way to Earth, where she had an encounter with Ms. Marvel and Hawkeye in her attempt to loot repair parts for her spacecraft.

After escaping Earth, Cal'Syee encountered and allied herself with the insectoid Brood, returning to the Shi'ar Galaxy to seize the empire as Deathbird.
