Origin
Skreet is a Chaos Mite, agents of the Proemial god Diableri of Chaos who existed at the dawn of the Universe. One of the first races to emerge created by the Chaos god Diableri, the Chaos Mites acted as his eyes and ears, however the Chaos Mites were said to be unstable and therefore judged unfit to survive according to the Proemial God Aegis Lady of Sorrows and Tenebrous of the Darkness. A great war was had between the Proemial gods and Galactus and the Chaos Mites were all but wiped out. Aegis and Tenebrous were imprisoned in the Kyln. Skreet would hide and survive the purge of her species and go on to associate with the Wy’nkarian Lunatik, the hover-bike riding space-faring bounty hunter with a foul mouth and a penchant for cigars who was nearly indestructible, through a combination of invulnerability and a high-end healing factor. Skreet acted as his sidekick. Skeet along with Lunatik would tackle such foes as General Kosrouschah, the Universal Cosa Nostrum and even the Silver Surfer. Generally acting as mercenaries, the pair were nigh unstoppable with Skreet’s speed, robust power, and durability, and Lunatik’s regeneration and durability abilities. Until, years later, with Lunatik dormant for the better part of a decade, Thanos, in the midst of his humanitarian efforts phase, encounters Skreet at the Kyln near The Crunch. This mysterious prison facility was at the edge of the cosmos where the Big Bang supposedly occurred, and it would later factor into the Annihilation Wave event. Skreet tags along with Thanos, intriguing him half the time with her knowledge of the universe’s early life forms and annoying him the rest of it. After Thanos’ death in Annihilation, Skreet is last seen running off with Cammi, Drax the Destroyer’s former teenage ward. Skreet and Cammi haven’t been seen since.

Skreet resurfaces in the short-lived Thanos ongoing series. During the Annihilation War, Skreet is recognized as a Chaos Mite, one of the first forms of life in the universe, long thought to be extinct and supposedly quite powerful. It is thought that Chaos Mites might also be known as Chaos Sprites, which were introduced in Annihilation: Heralds of Galactus #2.
