Super Skrulls have become prominent characters in Marvel’s latest web series, Secret Invasion. To understand the significance of Super Skrulls, it’s necessary to first explore Skrulls in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Skrulls are shape-shifting beings capable of assuming the identities and memories of humans, making them a potential threat. They possess superior strength compared to humans.
Skrulls were first introduced in the Captain Marvel movie, where they were portrayed in a positive light. They sought assistance from Carol Danvers (played by Brie Larson) in finding a new home after the destruction of their planet, Skrullos.
In Secret Invasion, the TV series follows Nick Fury’s promise to find the Skrull population a new home, which ultimately fails. Fury is shown to be absent from Earth, spending time on the S.A.B.E.R battle station.
Meanwhile, the Skrulls, initially portrayed positively, have turned against humanity. They form a militia-like structure in Russia.
Now some of the Skrulls are engaged in terrorist activities disguised as an American radical group called Americans Against Russia (AAR).
Their goal is to instigate a Third World War between the US and Russia, potentially leading to nuclear destruction.
Super Skrulls, first introduced in 1963 in The Fantastic Four comic #18, are Skrulls enhanced with superpowers to replicate the abilities of the Fantastic Four.
In Secret Invasion, Marvel Studios presents a live-action take on this concept. The series includes a scene where a scientist named Rosa Dalton works on a machine to enhance the Skrulls’ capabilities. This machine is a direct reference to the creation of Super Skrulls in the comics.
The Super Skrulls gain their powers through technological enhancements. The first Super Skrull, Kl’rt, was technologically enhanced to mimic the powers of the Fantastic Four.
Marvel’s Secret Invasion also references a database containing DNA samples of various entities, including Groot, Giant Frost, Cull Obsidian and Black Order.
The future role of Super Skrulls in the wider MCU remains uncertain. However, their introduction could potentially lead to significant events involving characters such as the Fantastic Four, The Immortals, the new generation of Avengers.
