Doctor Minerva first appeared in Captain Marvel #50 (May 1977), created by writer Scott Edelman and artist Al Milgrom. She was introduced as a rogue scientist who wanted to mate with Mar-Vell, to create a new breed of Kree.

She reappeared two decades later as a villain in the Quasar comic, where it was revealed that she and her lover At-Lass had gained superpowers. They were also two of the villains in the Avengers storyline Operation: Galactic Storm, where they were in a team called Starforce. She resurfaced in the 2010s fighting both Spider-Man and Captain Marvel, in both comics it was shown she had gained powers to turn herself in a giant monster.

Doctor Minerva next appeared in the "Falling Star" story arc of 2019's Captain Marvel. During the story, it is revealed that she created the supervillain Star by combining human and Kree DNA in an attempt to create Kree super-soldiers.

Minn-Erva was born in Edelix, on the planet Kree-Lar. She became a geneticist and an agent of the Kree empire, stationed on the Kree science cruiser Ananim. Minn-Erva abducts Rick Jones and lures Mar-Vell aboard the craft. She reveals to Mar-Vell her theory that the two of them could produce superior offspring capable of advancing the evolutionary potential of the Kree. Phae-Dor, head of the Kree science council, tells Minn-Erva to abandon her mission, but she refuses and is overpowered.

Doctor Minerva later became partner to Kree Captain Atlas, serving aboard the Kree light cruiser Ramatam. She incognito commissioned A.I.M. to steal Quasar's quantum-bands. She abducted Quasar and revealed to him how she was transformed by the Psyche-Magnetron. She rendezvoused with Captain Atlas, and tried to remove Quasar's quantum-bands, but was instead banished from Earth.

Doctor Minerva was a member of the Kree Starforce during the Kree/Shi'ar war.
