The Big Picture Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Secret Invasion.Marvel's latest Disney+ series, Secret Invasion, has been a rather interesting experience. On the one hand, it's continued a trend of fleshing out characters within the Marvel Cinematic Universe - in this case, stalwart spy Nick Fury . On the other hand it's had its fair share of problems - namely when it comes to the treatment of its female characters.
The Origin of the Super Skrulls Is Due to Fury's Machinations A major advantage the Skrulls have in their invasion in the original comics was the fact that they created multiple Super-Skrulls that possessed the powers of Marvel's biggest heroes. One Skrull might have the sonic scream of Black Bolt and the metal skin of Colossus, while another would have Wolverine's Adamantium claws and the Human Torch's fire-slinging powers.
The Identity of the Skrull Posing as a Hero Is Radically Different In the lead-up to Secret Invasion, a team of Avengers led by Luke Cage discovered the Skrull invasion when they learned that the assassin Elektra Natchios was secretly a Skrull. Soon other heroes, including Hank Pym, unveiled their Skrull nature and sent a chain of events that left the Earth crippled and waiting for invasion.
