Appearances

Marvel Cinematic Universe

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Phyla is depicted as being a child among other similarly white-haired children created by the High Evolutionary. His intent was to replace his "perfect" society of humanoid animal people after realizing that it was not so perfect. While his new creations were very intelligent and incredibly happy, they were only smart through rote memorization rather than inert development as had been the case with Rocket Raccoon. His plan was to find out how Rocket managed to become smart this way and implement this into his new society. Phyla, just like her fellow creations, was somewhat oblivious to this purpose at first, but after meeting Drax the Destroyer, Nebula and Mantis, quickly befriends them. When the Guardians of the Galaxy finally come together, they rescue Phyla and the rest of children. When Rocket takes over the team, Phyla is among the new roster, displaying superpowers and a keen interest in music.

The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes

When the Guardians of the Galaxy attacked Avengers Mansion to take back Michael Korvac she battled Iron Man in the skies. She showed remarkable abilities by creating energy weapons and nearly defeated Iron Man. She was sucked into the Soul Gem as well as the other Guardians and Avengers.

Guardians of the Galaxy

This version works as a Kree Accuser. She appeared when the Guardians of the Galaxy obtained a Kree possession that Howard the Duck had them obtained from a ship somewhere in Kallusian space. After Howard the Duck left them in the acid volcano of another planet, the Guardians of the Galaxy had to save Phyla who then proceeded to arrest them. In the episode "Gotta Get Outta This Place", Phyla has the Guardians of the Galaxy incarcerated at the Kree Monument of Justice run by Doctor Minerva so that she can get her to have them confess to where the Kree item is. When the Guardians of the Galaxy hijack the prison and defeat Doctor Minerva, Phyla and the Kree pursue them. In the episode "Long Distance Runaround", Phyla catches up to the Guardians of the Galaxy and Howard the Duck on Knowhere. With help from Cosmo the Spacedog, the Guardians of the Galaxy get away from Hala. After Collector sabotages the Milano to head to Hala, Phyla appears and accuses them of attacking a Kree vessel until Collector's ship appears and apparently destroys Hala. In the episode "You Don't Owe Me", Phyla works with the Guardians of the Galaxy to fight Collector who actually used the secret black hole generator into a molecular compression engine to shrink Hala. After Collector is defeated and gets away upon setting his ship to self-destruct, Hala gets the growing Hala as far as she can from the blast radius as the Guardians of the Galaxy work to do the same to Collector's ship. After Phyla gets Hala far enough, she sees Collector's ship exploding and mourns the Guardians of the Galaxy's supposed death.
