OMG can’t Marvel think of anything other than messing with superheroes back histories in annoying ways?

At one point heroes would fight against villians now every single comic is about the silly heroes having some personal drama, beign personally attacked, not being themselves or wait could I be a Skrull sleeper agent that’s infiltrated your messageboard…… um no that’s just stupid my hard earned from now on is being redirected elsewhere.

Fury is a Skrull. Its ALL MISDIRECTION. Why would he send Spider-Woman (whos eyes GLOWED GREEN) to retrieve Skrullektra’s body and give it to Stark? She has him playing the hands of both human sides (Secret and Mighty Avengers) so they stay off the trail of the real mastermind. I.E., ‘HIM”. HE IS NICK FURY!

Speaking of eyes, hasn’t anyone questioned why Wolverine’s eyes have been blue in Astonishing and remarks made by Whedon that they were that way on purpose? Wolvie is a skrull!

one big clue
after the NA’s plane crashed and Spiderwoman and Wolverine were arguing over the body take a look at the unnatural color of Spider woman’s eyes

Hmmm. I don’t know if Andrew was referring to my post or to all of the other posts. But I still find it somewhat pathetic that his caustic viewpoints were based on the fact that any retconning is bad. It is what it is and it seems that given enough reason Marvel (and others) will mess with continuity. And as far as what I have suggested and others as potential retcons, they are not major characters or plotlines being impacted. Retconning will not go away and as far as this one goes, I find it more ingenious than most all-powerful cosmic individuals playing with the uni(mulit)verse, creating a crisis and resetting things.

However, his points on some of the other characters do have some merit, but then all of ours do. The only one that matters is Bendis’ opinions.

You’re kinder than I am, Stephen. I’d have deleted his posts solely on the lack of grammar…

Jackass.

P.S: Not all the heros shown on the poster campaign are Skrulls. dumbass.

Are you sure?

I’m going to allow Andrew’s rude and crude comments, mainly because it demonstrates the type of trolls that come out of the woodwork to stomp on someone’s opinion…that’s right Andrew this review is one person’s opinion, just like your comments are your opinion. And you know what they say about opinions and assholes…

You’re so incredibly fucking stupid that it leaves my mouth agap. In fact, let me pause to grasp my jaw and pop it back into place under my upper lip. First off, Sue Storm isn’t a Skrull because in the panel before she identifies herself, she’s a black guy. Now, I know she’s a superhero, but I’ve never known her powers to inlude blackinesis. And Second, you’re looking for Skrulls in all the wrong places. If you want a Skrull, How about Ben Grimm? Wasn’t his absence in Civil War a bit odd for a man whose catchphrase is “It’s Clobbering Time!!!”? What about Namor, who blew up his own goddamn homeland? Fuck, Johnny Storm is probably a Skrull, his attitude has changed quite a bit lately. And don’t say Wanda could’ve been replaced before Avengers Disassembled, because Skrulls can shapeshift, but do not have powers. None of those 70s heros are real, because that would mean about 20 years of pointless continuity, sparking outrage among the Marvel Universe. My guesses are Thor, Hulk, Ronin, Hawkeye, Johnny and maybe Sue Storm, but Sue was NOT revealed in #1. So Congratulations that you learned how to read, but maybe next time you ought to open you eyes and ears, cause you know what they say: Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil, and you wanna be able to spot all the evil you can in the coming months of Secret Invasion.

My bets for real heroes/villians that have been swapped and not just conveniently impersonated like Sue Storm may have been: Beast, Jessica Jones (makes Luke Cage even more dynamic as a character and you could have the skrull that replaced Jessica eventually fight against the skrulls with of course her death occurring), Henry Pym (I think taken prior to his breakdown and being drummed out of the Avengers. Maybe even before the yellowjacket persona, although not before creating Ultron unless you say they were trying to infiltrate prior to the Illuminati visit which is a weak argument, I think. Imagine the pathos over finding out that you are divorced, your wife is physically and mentally repulsed by you and everyone thinks you are kind of pathetic. Plus, now we could possibly say that the Thor-Clone was designed to act the way it acted.), Plus Pym’s abilities would be the easiest for a Skrull to copy until you could lay they could lay their hands on some Pym Particles. Emma (why have only one villian on the ship – to me it stands out. Plus it plays havoc with one of the Summers boys again) And Wonderman. Mockingbird might be as well. I go back and forth on that one. I also think Doctor Strange is a skrull and that Clea is looking for the correct one.

I think that it will be revealed that the skrulls have for a long time been able to make certain agents truly believe to be those who they are impersonating until a certain event or timing occurs to ‘activate’. Plus after examing Xavier, they will have improved upon the process by applying what they learned from his powers.

Just some thoughts…

It seeme to me the biggest get out of jail card in the history of Retconning. We, possibly, get shown that Cap, Mockingbird,Vision, Ant Man, basically anyone who’s died since the Kre-Skrull war, is still alive. I took it at face value at first although I’m willing to admit some people’s ideas here might be true ie only some of them are real.

I’d have to bet against the Nick fury in hiding as a Skrull.

I can totally see Fury going off the grid not because of what happened in Secret War, but because he created the Secret War as a way to go off grid because he found out about the Skrulls. Secret War was just smoke and mirrors.

I think by the time this is all over, I’m going to hate Skrulls as much as I hate Mephisto. I hope I’m wrong.

By the way…has anyone noticed that there will be potentially FIVE Captain America’s running around this summer:

1. Bucky
2. The Mysterious Steve Roger’s body double
3. The Invaders Cap (which is the dumbest of them all you ask me)
4. This Skrull Cap
5. Is the REAL Steve Rogers still dead?
