SECRET INVASION SPOILERS! Who will be the next character revealed to be a Skrull?

[Sano]

As the title suggests, this is a pool where you have to guess who is the next character Marvel will reveal is a Skrull. The prize is my Captain America Loeb and Liefeld issue #1 signed by the artist, basically a prize nobody really wants so there are no sore losers. :rofl: If I win the pool I will photo copy a bunch of pages from the Captain America comic, put it on my fridge and take a picture unless someone offers to send me a crappy comic they don't want. :looney:

So here is the comic you are fighting for. "THUMBS DOWN SOLDIER!"

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v729/futaenokiwami/52Poo.jpg

Now for some rules, even though most of them are common sense but just in case.

1. The character you choose has to come out as a Skrull in Marvel's mainstream continuity, otherwise known as 616. If someone turns out to be a Skrull in an Ultimate Marvel Comic, Spider-Man Loves Mary Jane, a What If book etc., well that's very nice here's a cookie but you won't win this pool. If you have no idea what any of this means don't worry about it, pick a characater as most of us regulars know the difference. If by some miracle someone turns out to be a Skrull in the new Iron Man movie, the new Spider-Man cartoon, the Fantastic Four cartoon, a fan fiction you wrote on your way to work, a piece of fan art you drew while sitting on the toilet, a dream you had last night or a new hidden secret you discovered while playing Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter that's been locked away for years none of that counts it has to happen in 616 gosh darn it! :annoy:

2. No psyche out / shock value reveals. What this means is let's say Squirrel Girl turns out to be a Skrull at the very end of Astonishing X-Men #789. In Astonishing X-Men #790 it turns out that she got bopped on the head and was only a Skrull for one week. Comics do things like this to psyche people out and increase sales. Stunts like this don't count. The character has to of been a Skrull, let's say at least prior to Civil War otherwise what's the point. Elektra turning out to be a Skrull is a good example, which would at the very least have to of taken place after Millar's run on Wolverine if not earlier. This entire rule is debatable but for the most part let's say we wait one month after the reveal to declare the winner or wait for the inevitable Newsarama interview where Joe Quesada claims "Oh yeah I planned on Howard the Duck being a Skrull way back when I was drawing my independent comic Ash." :clown:

3. Banned characters. These are people we already know are Skrulls so you are not allowed to vote for them. Hulkling, Super-Skrull and Elektra AKA Skrullektra along with other characters we already know are Skrulls, seriously get out of here with that! Luke and Jessica's baby is banned because that's an obvious choice. Both Luke Cage and Jessica are possible suspects though. And yes, we all know Taichi is a Skrull that is nothing new. Sorry Taichi, I could not resist! :rofl:

4. If 2 or more characters are revealed as Skrulls in the same week we go by the alphabet. Meaning, if Shuma-Gorath being a Skrull is revealed in Alpha Flight and Blackheart goes Skrully in Great Lakes Avengers Shuma-Gorath takes it. If two or more characters are revealed in the same comic it goes by the order they were revealed in that book. If a bunch of characters are revealed in the same exact panel we go by the alphabet using their names. In that scenario Blackheart beats out Shuma-Gorath. Well let's hope Marvel only has one big Skrull reveal when they get to one of our characters to avoid confusion... :sweat:

5. If your character is currently, um well, dead and you are not aware of that I may tell you ahead of time that the person is dead and you should pick someone else. If you refuse and want to stick to your guns then hey, go for it. Death in comics is more like a state of mind anyway...

6. All entries must be submitted by October 17 2007. So you have 2 weeks. Oh and you are not allowed to change your entry.

That's it, have fun! The next post will have all of the entries we have so far. Good luck! May the best Skrull win! :tup:

EDIT: The pool is now closed, no more entries. The final update can be seen below and on page 4.

Like wha... aside from being dead he is Kree... his younger version who time traveled to our time is around though. This is my obligatory "Are you sure about that?" reply but if you want I'll put you down. I mean it's possible they screwed up and instead of getting a regular Captain Marvel from the past they got a Skrull... I think... maaaaaaybe.... :looney:

[Steve F]

I have not idea who is and isn't a skrull, and furthermore WHY they would just suddenly spring on you random skrullifications, other than that they have no plot ideas. But I will, however, donate a shitty comic for your prize if you win, sano.
I pulled this out of my pile o' comic randomly. It's the Rise of Apocalypse, issue 2, art by Mark Morales.

Sentry...:confused::sweat:

I mean, Dr. Doom.

[kane_warhead]

I wanna vote for that guy who exchanged the hulk serum in The initiative to be a skrull.

[TornadoFlame]

Dum Dum Dugan :wonder:

Would I be as crazy as to say Charles Xavier is a Skrull...................

[Steve F]

All the pages on that link are silent, I assume cause they add the word on on the computer, but I hope Black Bolt doesn't talk. Cause he can't.

[darksoul173]

Now that i think of it xvaier does make alot of sense being a skrull

[Zephyranthes]

Here's my Zephyranthes Fantasy Football Weekly Preptalk:

I don't think Xavier is a Skrull. Although it would make sense for the Skrulls to infiltrate as a prominent and high-ranking member of the mutant community, not to mention someone in the Illuminati, I just don't see it happening.

The main reason is because of what Brubaker's been doing in Uncanny with Xavier. Outing him as a Skrull would feel like a complete cheat to the reader. It would be the equivalent of introducing a sudden, random Avengers tie-in to a completely unrelated X-Book.

In addition, the X-Men have their own major crossover coming up, Messiah CompleX. It would probably be horribly convoluted to have Xavier involved in that and then be revealed as a Skrull. That's the sort of "We're Forcing You to Buy ALL of Our Random Comics!" attitude I would expect from DC, not Marvel.

-----

Dum Dum Dugan is a guy I could see as a Skrull. The guy was supposed to have died some time ago, I think. Who knows what's going on with all those SHIELD guys. Dugan, Jasper Sitwell, Clay Quartermain, Contessa de Fontaine, Jimmy Woo - ALL POTENTIAL SKRULLS. SHIELD isn't impervious to being infiltrated, as evidenced by recent happenings in Captain America. And it would make sense for the Skrulls to place agents in SHIELD.

Maybe that's why Nick Fury left in the first place. He knew SHIELD had been compromised, so he peaced outta there and started his own underground network.

Maybe Agent Brand (from Astonishing X-Men) is a Skrull. On the one hand, that would be another "Straight out of NOWHERE" revelation... And yet, I could see Whedon laughing maniacally, claiming he planned her as a Skrull from the very beginning. She does work with aliens and have a strong knowledge of various races.

-----

Storm probably won't be a Skrull. Mainly for the same reason that Xavier won't be. She's too involved in other series right now and it would feel like a big cheat if she were a Skrull. Marvel even went through all the trouble to release a miniseries that detailed her past with T'Challa. Then there was the all the hubbub about their wedding. Can you imagine the Black Panther's comic if she were a Skrull? I hope they'd slap "I MARRIED A SKRULL!" on the cover. And then release a zombie variant.

-----

Sub-Mariner and Black Bolt are both good potential Skrull candidates. I lean more towards Black Bolt, mainly because he doesn't have to speak and Xavier hasn't been around lately to read his mind. Namor, I know, has his own miniseries right now, but I haven't read any of it because it had a Michael Turner cover and looked like a lousy read.

My main question with Namor is, If he IS a Skrull, when was he replaced? But yeah, it'd be a really critical move on the part of the Skrulls to impersonate either Namor or Black Bolt. Can you imagine being able to command the army or manipulate the people of an entire kingdom of metahumans?

-----

Cap's dead effin' body. That corpse won't be a Skrull. I guarantee that one.

-----

Wolverine. He's already been IMPOSTERED by a Skrull before. They wouldn't do it to him again... Would they? It would be pretty dang sneaky if he were a Skrull, though. He's got access to the mutant community, the mainstream/Avengers community, Canada, and he was a member of the New Fantastic Four back in the '90s! (Haha, remember that? Spidey, Ghost Rider, Wolvie, and Hulk?)

-----

Mr. Fantastic is a possible Skrull, but I would still think the odds are low. Mainly because he's still the superintelligent Reed Richards that comes up with all these crazy ideas and inventions. It's easy for a Skrull to replicate his powers - not so easy to replicate his intellect. Even during the Civil War, for all of Reed's "alleged" acting out of character, he was still coming up with, like, insane math equations that explained the outcome of human existence.

-----

Spider-Woman is still a prime candidate. Her reaction to the Skrull Elektra's corpse makes her very suspicious. Is there such a thing as a Sleeper Skrull? A Skrull agent who thinks he's actually the role he's playing? If so, Spidey-Woman is a prime candidate.

She doesn't know who she really is. She spent the first year or two of New Avengers bouncing forth between working for Fury and Hydra. She has new powers she didn't have before.

She is a Bendis-favorite character. She was even in Alias back in the glory MAX days. It would be just like him to mess with us by making her cool, only to strip that away by making her an IMPOSTER.

Reasons why she might not be a Skrull: 1)Too obvious. Bendis could be really messing with us. 2)A promised, up-coming ongoing series with Alex Maleev. (Although it would be REALLY sneaky if this series was just a ruse to throw off the trail. Bendis and Maleev have been putting it off for years and now they are doing Halo. But to be fair, I could imagine Bendis being devious enough to start an ongoing based around a Skrull who's IMPOSTERING Spider-Woman.)

-----

Doctor Doom. He won't be a Skrull. Reason being, we saw him escape the hell he was trapped in from Waid's FF run when Doom hitched a ride back to Earth on Mjolnir. He would be a great candidate for a Skrull, but it's just unlikely. Maybe a Skrull is posing as a Doombot somewhere in Latveria. But the real Doom is just too good to be IMPOSTERED for long.

-----

Doctor Strange might be a Skrull. I would lean against it because he still has all his magic tricks.

"Yeah," you say, "but have you seen the way he's been written in New Avengers lately? Dude can't even save people from a crashing airplane!"

Good point. But have you seen Amazing Spider-Man lately? It's a good bet that if Strange has a huge role in reshaping Spider-Man's world, he won't be a Skrull. And Strange still has his other magical tricks and artifacts like the Eye of Agamotto (or whatever it's called) and the Cape of Vishanti (or whatever it's called). No matter how good a Skrull is, I doubt he'd be able to use those magical artifacts.

-----

Jarvis is a good idea. It's so far out there that it just seems plausible enough. The butler did it. They always do. Don't they?

For similar reasons, that's why Wong, Dr. Strange's Asian manservant, makes another viable candidate.

-----

Maria Hill was going to be my choice. I still think she could be a Skrull. Who is she? Where did she come from? Only Bendis knows. That's why she's a great choice. On the other hand, she doesn't seem to be TOO Skrully... She refused President's orders to nuke the Avengers when she had the chance. Although that could have been part of some grander scheme, I suppose.

-----

Quicksilver. Not too likely, I'd say, based on the stuff happening in X-Factor. He seems like a player who has too much of a role in the X-Books to be involved as a Skrull.

On the other hand, once an Avenger, always an Avenger. And all that stuff about him messing with the Terrigen mists - very Skrully. Skrulls hate the Kree.

-----

Wonder Man. He's lame, very powerful, but overall, pretty bland. All of which makes him a prime candidate for Skrullhood. No one would expect him to be one. And we haven't seen too much of him until Mighty Avengers began. What's he been doing since that first issue? Talking to his Skrull overlords?

-----

Irredeemable Ant-Man. Maybe, maybe not. I would say not. Why? Because he was in his own comic and had his own life and stuff.

But... BUT! We know his series has been canceled. Wouldn't it just be like Bendis to keep his buddy Kirkman's character alive by revealing him to be a Skrull?! There'd be a zombie variant for this guy, as well.

-----

I don't know shit about Puma. Good call, P.Gabby, you've stumped me.

-----

Prime candidates who remain available for the SKREW POO:

Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye
Any of the aforementioned SHIELD agents I mentioned in Dum Dum Dugan's write-up
Luke Cage
Jessica Jones
Someone should be bold and bet that Cage and Jones' baby is NOT a Skrull
The guy who hired Electro to bust the villains out of the raft
Viper/Madame Hydra
Silver Samurai
Henry Peter Gyrich
Wong
Xavin from Runaways (just kidding)

[Sheng-Long]

I don't think Maria Hill is a skrull at all. She's just a noob shield agent handed down this heavy responsibilty and she knows it (and Ironman knows it too) that's why she's a hardass most of the time, compensating for her lack of experience. She and Ironman had this conversation before, I forgot in which book, about something fishy that of all agents, an inexperienced one is put in place of Fury.
-----
I think Reed is a skrull. His power is easy for them to replicate. Several of his decisions lately have been very questionable, ever since before Civil War started (including Thor clone-bot, vewy skru-wy indeed).
-----
Dr. Strange also I think is a skrull. Him dodging Civil War was an excuse because skrulls can't replicate all of his powers and he has been severely nerfed lately. He joined New Avengers so he can keep track of those guys. That trick he did in the most recent New Avengers could just be a light show, easily replicated with Skrull hologram technology. Also, possibly Wong, and all his artifacts are fake and just for show.
-----
Jarvis to keep track of Ironman.
-----
I don't read any X-title other than Astonishing so I have no idea who's a mutant skrull.
-----
When did Jessica and the baby came back from Canada? I never read all of the frontline stuff, I just saw her on New Avengers again back in the states. Something fishy there, that Canada is very skrully indeed.

[darksoul173]

Nice analiyze here are some of my ideas(using mini opera) If spider woman is a skrull than one of the illumaniti is almost for sure a skrull or she wouldnt bring the body to Tony and im pretty sure she/they know about the illumaniti and that Tony will bring the body. As for who is a skrull between the 5 well everyone execpt Tony is a good canidate: Xvaier is the biggest name in the mutant community and he was nowhere to be found for quite some time, Strange well like stated before with all his power couldnt rescue a crushing plane and what about the time he used that spell in new avengers and found squat and im 100?%? one of the NA is a skrull so he could just faked the spell. Reed and Namor well the reasons in zep post are good enough . Blackbolt well its easiest for him to be a skrull since he doesnt talk and he barely uses his full power (last time was against the hulk and we all knows what happened)

[Zephyranthes]

Yeah, the more I think about Maria Hill, the less likely it seems she can be a Skrull. The primary reason she seems suspicious is that Bendis created her. But I think we as readers have been privy to some of her motivations and inner thoughts and she seems human enough.

Strange would be a good candidate, but I am just not convinced that Marvel planned all of this terribly enough to allow him to be a Skrull. Making him a Skrull would not seem to go at all with what we've seen in One More Day.

See, the reason I suspect the Night Nurse is a Skrull is exactly why Strange's powers seem to not be as dominant as they ought to be. (Assuming lazy writing is not the culprit, of course.)

Night Nurse is Strange's girlfriend. Maybe she has been affecting him somehow. Who knows what sort of effect banging an alien would have on human physiology?

She's also heavily involved with the superhuman community in general. She knows their secrets, their weaknesses, their strengths, and she probably has access to their DNA and stuff from all the times they've stumbled into her emergency room.

Thirdly, Bendis was the one who brought her back into prominence all the way back during his Daredevil run. We don't exactly know who she is or where she came from. She gave Ben Urich an interview once, but that could be a Skrully fabrication. Is there proof she is whom she claims to be? I don't know about it.

Fourth, in Bendis' last DD arc, Night Nurse and Elektra did have some interaction. I don't know if that Elektra was the true Elektra Natchios or if she was already a Skrull at that point. But it's still a connection, one that merits some analysis.

Fifth, Brian K. Vaughan was the writer who hooked Night Nurse up with Strange. BKV and Bendis are both bald Brians from Cleveland. There's a real conspiracy here. I am not sure yet if Brian Azzarello is involved.

[Sano]

I said this in the Marvel thread before but I think Sub-Mariner as a Skrull is way too obvious, kind of why I picked him and I don't really expect to win. He's had several personality changes going from villain, to hero, to whiney hero. It's way too easy to say the person who bitches about everything is a Skrull. On top of that, he is also the person who has no say on matters. Civil War? "That's a human problem." Shooting Hulk off into space? "You guys are all nuts!" If he was a Skrull he doesn't seem to be manipulating events like the rest of the Illuminati.

If there is a Skrull in the Illuminati I'm betting on Blackbolt. Him losing to Hulk is still a little suspect, I'm sure it could happen because Hulk is super angry and stuff but still. All that Silent War stuff, not so sure he is acting in character. Would be funny if Medusa found out she was boinking a Skrull....

Course I could be wrong and turn out to be the winner even if that is not my true intention. :rofl:

[darksoul173]

One thing i was wondering about, Did the skrull swap with the characters all at once or in diffrent times?

[Sano]

We don't know but different times makes more sense to me.

[maxx]

We don't know but different times makes more sense to me.

wtf happened to dr.strange?

[Sheng-Long]

Good call on the night nurse, I forgot about her. Yeah, between her and Wong, the Skrulls got Strange in check. Bendis had mentioned in wordballoon that the skrulls didn't necessarily place their agents on top but in positions where they could influence or watch over the powerful ones easily, so I think most likely are the girlfriends (Night Nurse, MaryJane?) and manservants (Wong, Jarvis). Imagine the secrets Ironman and strange has told them that they haven't told anyone else.

EDIT:
oh btw, Skrull Invasion is in April 2008, so we might have to wait a bit. lol

wtf happened to dr.strange?

Strange probably traveled in his astral form since he didn't want to meet Tony in person. Them being in opposing teams and all.



Oh, good call on Night Nurse, Zephy. very good theory there.

[Sano]

Maxx - No Hulkling (If that's who you mean) hasn't met the younger Mar-Vell yet. Last I heard about Mar-Vell/Captain Marvel he stopped being a warden of the Negative Zone prison and is on the loose somewhere.

Who knows maybe whenever the Young Avengers mini comes out they'll play with the two meeting up.

[chopperbyrne]

This new Mar-Vell is a bit too convenient. He was in one story and that's it. A Skrull could just look like him and be wearing nega-bands.

all you fuckers that are saying that strange is a skrull are wrong. bendis stated that IT and strange aren't skrulls. IT because then it'd fuck up what happened in CW; and strange because the skrulls have no way to mimic his magic powers. so you are left with three options as to who the skrulls are in illuminati. my money is either on reed or blackbolt....i pray it's blackbolt

[matrix9280]

This is a terrible story by Marvel but what else is new? Skrulls have been around over 40 years and now they have the power to take over Earth? Even if they could (which would be inconsistent with the past 40 years) what would be the point?

The Skrull empire is reduced to almost nothing because of Galactus and Annihilus but they can fool every superhero (especially telepaths) into believing one of their own. Even when the empire had power they were never a threat until now when they're at the absolute weakest? What a joke.

It's funny but you'd think that a prerequisite for taking a job writing comic books was that you'd actually read one or two. Clearly that's not the case with Bendis or most of the Marvel writers for that matter. Maybe they're too cool or something.

Oh well it's just more confirmation that Marvel Comics superhero books absolutely suck.

For the record anybody who has a hint of powers should be excluded from skrull status since they can't replicate powers. Or until the powers that be decide to discount continuity even further and change that.

[Zephyranthes]

Go post in the Spawn thread. They need you there.

[kane_warhead]

The hood = Skrull

[matrix9280]

Go post in the Spawn thread. They need you there.

Excuse me? What's that supposed to mean? Spawn sucks anyway. I haven't read that crap in over a decade.

[Zephyranthes]

It means you should go to the Spawn thread, tell everyone there how much Spawn sucks, and lord over all with your intellectual superiority. You need to put them in their place as you have humbled us.

[Taichi]

I would like to change my vote to Hulkling.


























kidding, kidding. :D

[Khaotika!]

I don't follow the Marvel weeklies anymore, but I feel compelled to throw in a vote.

Jean Grey.

(aka Skrullnix)

I know she's "dead", but considering how much Marvel likes the bitch, why not? I mean, WOLVY was a Skrull once too! :looney: *vomit*

[Sano]

Jean Grey? Her situation is complicated, but she is one with the Phoenix Force now and is out there in space. So this is my "ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?" post but if you want I'll put you down for Jean Grey...

Colossus is fine I'll toss him up.

I nominate the White Queen aka Emma Frost as a skrull. Skrull Queen ftl.....

[Pryde]

oh and just a random thought. What do u guys think of may or m.j. Being a skrull since one of them is going to " die " ? The skrull could have manipulated spiderman that way. What do you guys think?

That's been tossed around a few times. We don't know 100% for certain how One More Day is going to end but everything is leading towards some kind of wish Spider-Man makes with a powerful person that he has to make it so he was never married in the first place and that is the only way he will save Aunt May's life. Mary Jane has already been spotted in future issues as Jackpot so we know she's not going to die, unless that is something to throw us off... Currently it seems unlikely for MJ to be a Skrull but I can't say it's impossible...

Red Sonja taking over her body twice, even right now in the current crossover indicating their may be some kind of relation / reincarnation type of deal going on makes me raise an eyebrow, but it's not something that can't be ignored. Red Sonja was part of 616 back when Conan was and Kulan Gath has crossed Marvel up to 3 times, and the new crossover is still treating RS like she's still connected. Unlike Dark Horse's Conan comic the Red Sonja comic didn't really go against what Marvel established. Much like the G.I. Joe comic is still connected to Marvel's old work and the New Transformers comic really isn't. Take all of this as you will, ha ha licensing. :looney:

But yeah I will take a vote for MJ, no vote changes... Aunt May would get an "Are you sure about that?" 'cuz she's on her death bead and I think her body would go all Skrully by now...

[Zephyranthes]

Making either MJ or Aunt May a Skrull would be a massive copout. It would be like the Clone Saga all over again. (Lol, no wonder Pryde suggested it! :rofl: ) All the stuff going on in Spider-Man right now would be undercut by revealing either of those two characters as IMPOSTERS.

[Carpet Lint]

How come no one has suggested Tony Stark as a possible Skrull IMPOSTER yet?

And I think Wong is a prime candidate - you can never trust the Chinese. Or the Skrull.

[DS]

How come no one has suggested Tony Stark as a possible Skrull IMPOSTER yet?

That idea was addressed by Marvel already and they said it would be too easy of a copout. Of course, they may just be lying to us and they'll just wait to unleash a 64-page special with their entire writing staff and artists bashing the fans for being fucking retards and believing anything that comes for Bendis's mouth. I can also see them throwing some of our posts into that 64-page special to poke fun at us. And then they'll be like "Yo, that Carpet Lint dude. He's Canadian, but he knew."

But yeah, it's too easy because EVERYONE had that idea in their head for like, 5 months. Slapstick has a better chance of being a Skrull compared to Tony Stark.

Okay added. :smile:

I changed Dr. Skrullrange to Dr. Skrange because the name Skrullrange was keeping me up at night... :looney:

[Carpet Lint]

Now I want to pick Fin Fang Foom just so that I can see "Skrin Skrang Skroom" up there.

[Zephyranthes]

Cheater. You can't change your choice. And why do you hate Asians so much? Fin Fang Foom is one of the greatest Asian characters in the history of American comics. He's like, one of the few Marvel Comics Asians who doesn't rely on martial arts in his battles.

[Sano]

Ha ha there is no way you can hate Asians for real and post on Shoryuken.com. Does not compute.

Silver samurai and Sunfire from the top of my head.

[nameingway]

i got 5 on baby jesus!

no but really i have no clue, it just better not be doc strange.

[Sano]

Baby Jesus? Who dat, some statue that Nightcrawler worships? :looney:

The whole heaven thing in Marvel is kind of iffy and varies from writer to writer. Some say there's no such thing in Marvel but it doesn't stop Punisher from becoming a Heavenly Warrior, God from visisting Spider-Man in Sensational or Wolverine from fighting a Warrior Angel in his own comic... Sisineg was the one who destroyed the Tower of Babylon in Marvel and some people in Marvel's world confused that for God, don't think he dropped any babies... I suppose all of this stuff can be explained in very complex Earth X sci fi "There is no God everyone comes from the aliens" explanations...

I still can't think of Jesus himself showing up in a Marvel comic though but I could be wrong about that... Lots of characters have died and come back to life though. Walking on water? You may have to go to Naruto or Kung Fu movies for that one. :rofl:

[The Electrifying One]

There was a controversial Ghost Rider angle that got scrapped because of the writers plans to reveal a character (Johnny himself?) as the 2nd coming of Jesus. Wiki Ghost Rider for more.

My guess is spiderman. Sort out his public identity.

[Carpet Lint]

I remember we made like a list of all the Asian superheroes in comic books in one of the older threads. It was pretty depressing.

And I don't get how Silver Samurai doesn't use martial arts. Might I remind you Shaddy Killy, that he is a samurai.

Ha ha there is no way you can hate Asians for real and post on Shoryuken.com. Does not compute.
Lies, hating Asians just powers my already famed SRK posting capabilities.

Whatever happened to Eddie Brock? He had cancer, right? Did he ever actually die? Is that a possible SKRULL IMPOSTER candidate there? This could all be like a big skrullbiote invasion.

And I will laugh my ass off if Wolvie's a SKRULL IMPOSTER...again. In fact, I think I'm actually rooting for that now.

[Sano]

Eddie Brock is in the hospital dying of cancer and he has gone crazy. He thinks the symbiote is telling him messed up things to do, like telling him to go kill Aunt May in the other hospital room and stuff. :badboy:

I dunno what is up with Gargan Venom but Sub-Mariner just ripped his tongue out, he fell on the floor and there was a lot of blood, the red kind. Does that mean he's dead? Not sure since I only looked through the last Sub-Mariner Initiative issue and didn't buy it... Votes for either Venom will get a serious "Are you sure about that?" before adding...

Carnage is still dead and I haven't seen Toxin since New Avengers started, when he was helping the heroes capture villains that escaped from Electro's prison break.

Steve Rogers' corpse is already taken. You can choose the new gun and blade wielding Captain America or the one from the past that is going to pay us a visit. Or, I dunno claim the corpse is some kind of fake that can fool Wolverine's senses and the real one is out there as a Skrull. Eh let's just say CA is taken. :rofl:

[BusterWolf]

I choose the President of the United States.

[kane_warhead]

Amadeus Cho is a skrull I think

[Sano]

I choose the President of the United States.

Not adding to the list because the Marvel President is always the current President, right now George W. Bush. So unless someone can prove Skrulls exist in real life that's a no. :rofl:

[FreddyL0c0]

so does the latest issue of frontline count in this? It was obviously a joke, but both Sally Floyd and Ben are candidates as well, since they were so in touch with the super hero comm. though it would be rather weird considering we've basically had their point of views on recent events through their articles and whatnot, so for them to turn out be skrulls wouldn't really work.

[4Play]

Jesus, I HATE Sally Floyd. I hoped that Hulk would crush her or superaped her to death, dumb bitch and her myspace.

[goodm0urning]

I am going to officially endorse the theory that it is actually Steve Rogers, and that the man who was shot was a Skrull/clone/impostor/whatever. If I'm wrong, then it's not like I follow Marvel anyway.

[Sano]

Yeah I'm not taking anymore votes for Captain America. I think 2 is enough. :rofl:

Sally and Ben are eligible though.

Wednesday is the last day so pick your character if you haven't already soon.

[Carpet Lint]

Are Captain America and Wolverine the only two guys who already HAVE had SKRULL IMPOSTER incidents so far?

(Wolvie had his right before he got turned into War, and Cap was impersonated during Mark Waid and Ron Garney's run.)

I was almost willing to bet that there would be a lot more.

[Sano]

Alicia Masters had a big Skrull reveal back in the day, when the one who married the Human Torch turned out to be a Skrull. :rofl:

[Zephyranthes]

I remember that comic. Lyja was that Skrull IMPOSTER's name. I used to have that issue of FF with the die-cut cover where Johnny realized she was a Skrull and he just went crazy and started trashing his own home. Spousal abuse is all right if you marry an alien, I guess.

SMB: Don't you have your own account? What a lazy fatty you are.

Didn't they already have some IMPOSTER fun with Spidey when the Chameleon psyched him out with IMPOSTERS of his parents?

Though I would think that they've already pushed that envelope as far as it could go already with that property, considering that "The Clone Saga" is generally known as the textbook example of how to mess up an entire line of comics for over a decade.

God, I hope Aunt May actually dies, and then it turns out to be a Skrull. That would be awesome.

I hope Aunt May dies and turns out her she was made from pancake DNA with molassas flowing through her veins.

[m121akuma]

My vote goes to Bob, Agent of Hydra.

[Are_you_okay?!]

Huh I gotta contribute...but who..who?!

I could take the easy route and say Iron Man. He's been a big dick and acting all crazy lately, so it's possible.

I think candidates who were in the Kree/Skrull war as well as the recent Annihilation stuff could work. For the sake of something different I'll say Nova, he comes off as...shifty >_>

Here's a weird what if? Moment: What if Uncle Ben was a Skrull when he was killed? Nothing would be sacred then, nothing.

[Sano]

How can Nova be a Skrull? The Phalanx took over his body... I'll add him if you want but, huh? :looney:

[Zephyranthes]

Also, you could at least skim some of the other posts... sano and his league of extraordinary gentlemen have already explained why Iron Man won't be a Skrull.

Skrull pool deadline delayed by one day due to Street Fighter 4 being announced, (HOORAY!!!!!!) heck SRK's server went down on me twice today. Deadline's Thursday. :smile:

Here's a short list of possible Skrull candidates. From my other post. Which you probably did not read. So I have taken the liberty of copy and pasting. All for you!

Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye
Any of the aforementioned SHIELD agents I mentioned in Dum Dum Dugan's write-up
Luke Cage
Jessica Jones
Someone should be bold and bet that Cage and Jones' baby is NOT a Skrull
The guy who hired Electro to bust the villains out of the raft
Viper/Madame Hydra
Silver Samurai
Henry Peter Gyrich
Xavin from Runaways

It's a shame I can't rep you as much as I want to right now. :rofl:
Thanks, man. I appreciate that coming from a 2000 member.

[Sano]

Lol you can't vote for the guy who hired Electro to bust people out of the raft, we need a name. Besides Bendis made it clear that Skrulls were behind that. It's almost like saying Skrull is a Skrull. :rofl:

I'll take a vote for Luke and Jessica's baby not being a Skrull though to be fair. Thanks for the list Zephyranthes, both times! :tup:

Are_you_okay already voted for Zemo and I can't allow vote changes, but if anyone else wants to pick a candidate from Zephy's list that hasn't thrown down yet feel free. You have about 9 hours left or whenever I get around to checking this tomorrow...

[Vejita_x]

black widow!

[Zephyranthes]

That would be extremely whack if Black Widow turned out to be a Skrull. What with her two excellent, semi-recent miniseries, her role as a supporting character in Daredevil, her role in in Mighty Avengers, and her role in Captain America. It's the whole thing about how we can see into her thoughts and see the story from her point of view that would make such a revelation tough to swallow.

I have no idea how Marvel is going to handle this.

Aw, I am not trying to be harsh. I was just musing how uncoordinated Marvel would seem if certain characters turned out to be Skrulls.

So no offense to anyone here. Except that you are ALL fat, humongous, giant, large, big, voluminous, huge, tremendous, gigantic, capacious, massive, jumbo-sized idiots who should be reading DC and only ZEPHY has a flame's chance in hell to be correct. YOU SHALL ALL SEE

[FreddyL0c0]

I chose Wonder Man precisely for that, I don't recall him having any thought bubbles and it wouldn't be too hard for a Skrull to mimic the superstrenght aspect of his powers. though I must say that Wong, Jarvis and Night Nurse are the strongest contenders right now

[spudlyff8fan]

Luke Cage's daughter (Danielle Cage) is a skrull.

But we already knew that, so Ima guess it'll be Hood.

Thanks, man. I appreciate that coming from a 2000 member.

I appreciate the list, but since Marvel stated anyone could be a Skrull, I assumed I could choose anyone. I'll stick with Zemo because I think in some ways it's a good choice and makes some sense. Though I'm pretty sure I'm wrong on all fronts lol, good thing this isn't a money bet.

Me and m121akuma are the only one's who picked villains. I'll laugh if Zemo and Bob go gangsta skrull on everyone lol.

That would suck if Zemo is a Skrull considering he is one of my favorite villains, but it would be a nice Oh Snap! moment for the T-Bolts.

[Sano]

Me and m121akuma are the only one's who picked villains. I'll laugh if Zemo and Bob go gangsta skrull on everyone lol.



Sanchez has Doctor Doom don't forget. :smile:

[Zephyranthes]

Baron Zemo is an interesting choice. I stopped reading Thunderbolts and I missed out on the Zemo miniseries. I know a little bit more about Zemo than I know about Puma, which still means I only know shit.

[RockCho]

I know I'm late on the whole pool... but I'm guessing Scarlet Witch.

Skrullet Witch.

Burden a skrull with the mental baggage like wanda has (losing two kids and the whole avengers vs dc thing) on top of the hex powers she posses... I could see a fake skrull cracking and letting herself be puppeted by an asshole brother.

But then again this is just based on articles and posts I've read on the net and not actually reading the story.

;P

[Carpet Lint]

I repped you just for that awesome avatar.

[Are_you_okay?!]

Baron Zemo is an interesting choice. I stopped reading Thunderbolts and I missed out on the Zemo miniseries. I know a little bit more about Zemo than I know about Puma, which still means I only know shit.


Yeah, I'm a big fan though I admit I haven't read his recent stuff yet.I figured with all the attention a Marvel villain is getting lately, including his own mini-series, and just the weird shit he did During Civil War and with the T-Bolts he'd be a nice wild card pick.

Everyone has interesting choices though, some are like easy picks (Luke and Jessica), some are weird as hell (Storm and Sentry), and others make sense after I think about it (Emma, Colossus, Night Nurse). Honestly though anything goes.

What kind of bet is this? I'd put some money up lol.

[Sano]

Bumped!

[spudlyff8fan]

Who Will The Skrull Be?!?!?!?!?

[Pained Auron]

and we have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or is that loser?

[Sano]

Yeah congratulations! Without giving it away since some people haven't gotten their comics yet, if you know who you are toss me a PM and your Liefeld comic will be on it's way. 24 hours I'll make a big announcement so if you don't want to know who is revealed to be a Skrull look away from this thread for now.

EDIT: Also from spoilers I've seen since I don't get my comics until later today, someone else may have been VERY CLOSE. Anyway go pick up New Avengers Illuminati #5 when you can to find out what's up. :tup:

[spudlyff8fan]

The intensity is killing me o.O

Even though I don't have a spot in the pool...

And even if I did, it would've been wrong...

But DAMN! I want Illuminati 5!!!

[m121akuma]

Can we put in our votes for the next Skrull? If so, I so got dibs on Psycho Mom from Civil War whose name I can't remember. The more I think about it, the more sense it makes.

[chopperbyrne]

Maybe not the next Skrull, but I still say by the end of this Mar-Vell will be revealed as a Skrull.

Maybe even a Super Skrull.

[Sano]

Time is up, if you don't want to know who was revealed, stop reading now. The winner has been contacted.





And the winner is 4Play with his choice of Blackbolt! You're crappy comic is on its way! :clap:

Second possible runner up is Khaotika! who chose Colossus, he also comes out as a Skrull in the same comic later on in the book! But is that really Colossus? Is that really Thor (who no one guessed) Skrulled out too? Hmm, both of them have come back from the grave just like Elektra, could Whedon and JMS have been in on the Skrull thing??? ARG, questions abound! DUN DUN DUUUUN....

Since Khaotika! was really close I may send him another Liefeld comic I have if he wants, won't be signed or anything. But it will have to wait until the first week of December when I go through my stuff.

Thanks for participating! :clap:

EDIT: See I dunno about another pool because Khaotika! may have already won the second choice, we just don't know for certain... We should probably do a pool on something else... Thoughts? Opinions? Pool suggestions?

As for me giving another prize right now I would have to go through my comics to see what I have and that will happen the first week of December, during the magical time twice a year where I put my comics away... I have A LOT of comics... So nothing I can offer right now. Even the proposed SF Movie comic in the Batman thread is something I would have to look for. So if we do something else right now someone would have to step up with a prize, and we will need to see a picture/scan of the prize to avoid confusion.

Can we put in our votes for the next Skrull? If so, I so got dibs on Psycho Mom from Civil War whose name I can't remember. The more I think about it, the more sense it makes.

Miriam Sharpe.


YAY I WON!!

Oh wait the prize:bluu:

[Taichi]

are they just being 'found out' or are they all just standing around and being chill.

and suddenly Thor steps up and he's like "I'm not a Skrull, you talk to twelve and fourteen about that shit....alright, I was with thirteen, fuck."

err.....

[Pained Auron]

And the winner is 4Play with his choice of Blackbolt! You're crappy comic is on its way! :clap:

Second possible runner up is Khaotika! who chose Colossus, he also comes out as a Skrull in the same comic later on in the book! But is that really Colossus? Is that really Thor (who no one guessed) Skrulled out too? Hmm, both of them have come back from the grave just like Elektra, could Whedon and JMS have been in on the Skrull thing??? ARG, questions abound! DUN DUN DUUUUN....

But yeah according to the interview Colossus and Thor aren't Skrulls, only Super Skrull variants! :looney:

[Zephyranthes]

That was a pretty great issue. I feel a little bit foolish for overthinking but at least I got the moral victory and didn't win the Liefeld comic. I just want to know if we'll have to wait for Secret Invasion to come out before we can learn more.

[akumachan]

from SMB:

WHAT? I didn't win? Dammit, I wanted that prize... for me to poop on!

So WTF exactly is a Skrull variant? Is Marvel starting to get their comics and action figure terms mixed up?

[Sano]

Nah it's just what I called their new version of Super Skrulls lol! Bendis calls them - "Super Skrulls who are using power sets that they’ve never used before – much more powerful and much more ingeniously designed than they have been in the past."

Go me for being absent for awhile due to other.... commitments. LOL

Shot in the dark there really, I was hoping it wasn't true (maybe isn't), but you go with your guts... >.>

IDK if I want the prize, although a screenshot of me recoiling in horror over it would be amusing...

[Sano]

Yeah Bendis confirmed Colossus is not a Skrull so no crappy comic for you sorry. :rofl:

[Pryde]

HMMMMMmmmmmm!!! Who is going to be the next skrull?!?! This thread needs to be bump for the upcoming secret invasion, unless Sano wants to make a new thread. ^_^

[Pained Auron]

i say either pym or reed

[PersonaDark]

Among the X-men, I'm betting it's either Beast, Emma, Cyclops, Rogue or Hiseo.

Beast would be the most likely, because it's a chance to get rid of the Cat form and final Morrison change to the series. (Just when they find an artist that actually makes the design look good finally lol) Same applies to Rogue, fixing the changes to her character.

I'd hate to be right about Emma or Cyke though. I've been enjoying the much needed characterzation Whedon gave them.

Hiseo? Just because it would be random enough for Bendis to pull it.

[Sano]

After the New Avengers Annual I think Jessica Jones is a Skrull. Or Luke Cage... They found a way to get past Dr. Strange's reveal all spell. The baby is most def half Skrully.

[4Play]

It would be Jessica. Why Luke? He's the first one pointed out that something was wrong about the events that were going down(the Raft breakout, Secret War and Civil War).

[Sano]

It would be Jessica. Why Luke? He's the first one pointed out that something was wrong about the events that were going down(the Raft breakout, Secret War and Civil War).

'Cuz all of that could be done on purpose by Bendis to throw people off. If Luke is a Skrull, pointing fingers at everyone else is a good cover. Besides, Skrully baby revealed that one of them might be a Skrull, and Luke Cage can be a psych out so you swear it's Jessica Jones. Unless the baby is not a Skrull and that's a trick... Hmm, maybe Luke's not even the daddy! Shrug... I dunno...

Bendis is also writing the Halo comic so now we all know that Master Chief is a Skrull. There you go, no need to see what's going on under his helmet. :rofl:

[DS]

Pryde is a skrull.

[ToyRobotTerror]

Pryde is a skrull.
:rofl:

[Adam Warlock]

I think my scrotum may be a skrull. At least when it's cold.

[Pained Auron]

Pryde is a skrull.


No. Pryde is a ***. There is a difference. Or is there?

[Zephyranthes]

Unless the baby is not a Skrull and that's a trick... Hmm, maybe Luke's not even the daddy! Shrug... I dunno...


Remember, dude, back in Alias, Jessica used to get it on with Scott Lang. Maybe the old Ant Man was a Skrull, so maybe he's the father of Jessica's baby. At the end of Alias, she just assumed it was Luke's. I guess the amount of months that passed was kind of vague, but hey - Alias was a Bendis book. And Scott Lang conveniently died in Disassembled. I think his skeleton might've been found after the explosion that destroyed the mansion, though. So maybe he was human after all. Unless it was all a trick by Scarlet Witch's magic.

Or maybe Bendis is just fucking with us all. In which case, let me spread my ass wider. No homo. Of course.

[Grog]

Maybe the old Ant Man was a Skrull

Best way not to be noticed really. Could be onto something there...

[Kusanagi02]

Well remember when there was talks of a skrull at Camp Hammond. Well in Avengers Initiative #9 we found out that Crusader is the skrull with the Freedom Ring BUT he doesn't know about the skrulls secret invasion plus he has a little soft spot for Earth. That might help out Stark a little

[lamewadd]

Anyway, this needs a wee bit of a bump.

People who will be skrulls:

Spider-Man (the New Avengers Spidey just doesn't fit in with BND, and rather than a whole lot of silly retconning on Bendis' part, Bendis will just say there were two Spideys, one in Amazing, one in NA)

Lindy Reynolds (she has apparently died twice, but I'm definitely thinking the skrulls replaced her with a skrull after Ultron "killed" her)

Namor (everyone already said why...he's in the same situation as Bolt)

Nitro (The guy who started the Civil War has to be a skrull, if not simply for the timing. Couple this with the fact that he was last seen with Namor, and it's pretty convincing that he's a skrull)

Jarvis (he went on a vacation not too long ago on Stark's orders, and the Mighty Avengers are gonna definitely have a skrull watching them)

Maria Hill (just think about it)

[Sano]

Spider-Man (the New Avengers Spidey just doesn't fit in with BND, and rather than a whole lot of silly retconning on Bendis' part, Bendis will just say there were two Spideys, one in Amazing, one in NA)



Strongly doubt it. I think BND Spider-Man would up and notice there was another Spider-Man on New Avengers... Anyway Spidey's still in the black outfit so everything that's happening in NA is before OMD/BND. In Secret Invasion artwork Spidey's in the red and blue outfit so it will either fall right before OMD where he still has the red and blue outfit or during BND.

Probably not too much for Spider-Man in NA that Bendis has to touch on. All they have to do is show the continuity wave smack everybody and they forget Peter Parker's identity, and that's it... :rofl: There's not really a lot of stuff NA has to retcon.

NA Spider-Man as of late hasn't been dealing with his marriage at all, his stingers, organic webs, his powers to see in the dark or the extra five/ten tons he can lift and his ability to speak to small spiders, all the stuff that got retconned out anyway. Well, other than the marriage, organic webs and stingers nobody's messed with any of this stuff anyway...

Though yeah if Marvel's gonna retcon things the way I think they are, after BND Spidey and MJ were living together in Starks' Tower with Aunt May during NA, just that Spidey and MJ were no longer married. I think... kind of confusing...

Well Bendis is pretty selective with the things he references so we'll see how things play out. Ditto for Thunderbolts. For now I think BND is going to be ahead of everything for it to really matter right now with regards to NA and Thunderbolts.

[lamewadd]

Strongly doubt it. I think BND Spider-Man would up and notice there was another Spider-Man on New Avengers...

In Secret Invasion artwork Spidey's in the red and blue outfit so it will either fall right before OMD where he still has the red and blue outfit or during BND.Possibly...but why would it be that in OMD he went to Strange, and he wasn't like "hey Spidey, me an' them New Avengers are tryna get Jessica Drew to take her top off, wanna join?" You can chalk it up to an insanely impossible continuity in Marvel at this point...but I just don't think it'd work out. The New Avengers work in secret, so it's likely that Spider-Man wouldn't have even been seen by the other Spider-Man...or vice versa.

Probably not too much for Spider-Man in NA that Bendis has to touch on. All they have to do is show the continuity wave smack everybody and they forget Peter Parker's identity, and that's it... :rofl: There's not really a lot of stuff NA has to retcon. True, but I don't wanna see them spend a whole lot of time justifying how Luke Cage keeps calling Spidey a skrull, despite the fact he hasn't even seen him under the mask, and especially when everyone else isn't even wearing theirs.

[Sano]

Well Luke along with everyone on planet Earth saw Spider-Man's face, they just forgot who it was after BND, according to Marvel. So after BND he just wouldn't unmask anymore, maybe just lift the area around his mouth so Echo can read his lips...

Um, I just think it's confusing no matter how they handle this and making one Spidey a Skrull will just be more confusing. You never know I guess, whatever Bendis added to Xorn made that character more confusing too...

[lamewadd]

Who knows WHAT has happened with Xorn? I mean, that's one ridiculous story that's the prime example of how having 6 writers chime in on a character within 2 years can't possibly work out well.

Anyway, Luke was saying up and down that Spidey was a skrull, and it'd just be weird if EVERYONE else was sitting around with their masks off while Spidey is sitting there with his on, with nobody knowing who he is. I just think they'll skrull Spidey out of the New Avengers for continuity issues and potential "why are you still wearing your mask and why haven't I pointed this out until just now?" issues.

But really, Spidey never should've been in a team, IMO. He couldn't make the F4 or Avengers cut back in the 70s and 80s, so why now?

[Grog]

I'm getting suspicious of Reed actually, in the past year he's been kind of weird (who hasn't... but him the most from what i've seen). Also he was the only one upset when the Blackbolt imposter was impaled by Namor.

[lamewadd]

Seeing as I support a Namor=Skrull theory, I definitely don't think that Reed's a skrull. Having half the Illuminati be skrulls would just be kind of silly.

[Sano]

I don't think Namor's a Skrull for reasons I stated before in this thread. It's way too easy to make the person who hates everything a Skrull from a writer's standpoint.

On top of that, he really has no say in matters that Skrulls would want to manipulate. Civil War he dubbed a human problem and he was against getting rid of the Hulk. If he's a Skrull, he's not influencing things like the rest of the Illuminati is. Not being Skrully really, just bitchy but he's been that way for a looong time.

Reed's possible but like Zeph said before, his intellect is really hard to fake. His powers not so much for Skrulls, but not his intellect. Could be a Skrull but I doubt it.

Well, in Illuminati #5, when they were fighting the Black Skrullt, Xavier said that it had Black Bolt's thoughts, so they could have some sort of crazy skrully brain-transfer tech.

But still, he's at the center of a lot of should-be-important stuff. He's got Nitro, who started the Civil War (who I also think is a skrull). He stopped them from being able to interrogate the skrull when he killed it. And he's really in the same position as the Black Bolt, with a whole bunch of super-powered underlings.

But if he were a skrull he'd have no reason to stop the war. And he went out of his way, even killing his son, to prevent it.

[lamewadd]

I'm not sure what you mean, but I think you're referring to Namor helping Cap in the Civil War.

He might've been abducted after the Civil War. Hell, the skrulls could've just wiped out Atlantis by now. He also might not have intended to actually end the war. He might've just joined to try and take a few heroes out.

[ViciousSLASH]

I like how this whole skrull thing could possible tie up everything since the Avengers disassembled till now.

I dunno if this whole thing was planned from the start or just came up, but if it all was orchestrated 4 years ago, that is pretty neat.

It would be gangsta as hell if Namor wasn't a skrull and teamed up with Dr Doom to fix everything.

It's always great when everyone fucks everything up and Dr Doom has to fix civilization.

[lamewadd]

Bendis said that he's been hinting and setting things up for years now. The best issue for this where you just go "wow" is back during the Civil War with the Sentry, where he talks about Black Bolt's utter lack of surprise about what's happening on earth while everyone else is stunned.

No, I'm not referencing that. The civil war was done and there were sleeper cells in the US acting independently.

Could you elaborate on what you're talking about? I just am not up to snuff on current Namor events.

[ViciousSLASH]

Could you elaborate on what you're talking about? I just am not up to snuff on current Namor events.

Atlantis is gone and he has is allied with Dr Doom. Atlantians are living in sleeper cells around the world.

I am going to stick with the prediction that Dr Doom will save everyone with anti Hero Namor assist.

Simply because it would be the most entertaining to me. I hope Reed turns out to be a skrull and he is about to do something nutty and Doom shows up and kills the him.

I'm really interested in the storyline, but I really don't feel like reading 10 different comics to know what is happening. *sigh*

Well
So it seems that Marvel is a Skrull. Beginning of the issue shows some astronauts unearthing Marvel's casket and seeing his dead body with the Nega Bands. Meanwhile a skrull that S.H.I.E.L.D. captured from the previous issue is telling Marvel that he is a skrull but doesn't have any memory of being one. Even though he tells the Skrull he has the cancer, the skrull asks him why hasn't he been ill if he does have it? Fast forward near the end of the issue and Stark ask Ms. Marvel to take the Nega bands from the dead Marvel and hit them against the other Captain Marvel's bands. She does it and he ends up in the Negative Zone again.

No, they captured them in the 70's and the current heroes are all skrulls.

wow so over 30 years of story is wrong? :lol: at first i was excited now it is turning out to be bullshit

Yeah no kidding, I can understand retconning a couple of years, hell a decade is pushing it, but 30 years is just too much. Next we'll be reading "lawlz skrulls traineded da spaider to byte peter" and "New Skrull revealed - Galactus!"
