I doubt BB has been a Skrull for that long the Illuminati Skrull possessed the entire groups powers chances are he probably impersonated each one at some point or another. The switch might have came around Silent War...
The relevation that Medusa has been shacking up with a Skrull all these years is as bad as Kitty Pryde possibly losing her virginity to Skrullossus.
The Illuminati War Skrull has the powers of every member of the Illuminati...and still got taken out like douche...
From Wizard, in regards to continuity and #5:
Spoiler:
Disturbed by recent events (and a body bag dropped on his doorstep), Iron Man calls an Illuminati meeting to address the corpse of Skrullektra and threat of a Skrull invasion, which is the result of their past attack.
• As the group tries to rationalize how to approach this threat, Black Bolt is revealed to be a Skrull spy who immediately attacks the stunned heroes.
• In the fight against…umm, Black Skrolt, the Illuminati seemingly kill him, only to be surprise-attacked by Skrulls mimicking the powers of Thor and Colossus.
• To end the battle quickly, Iron Man creates a huge explosion that appears to have destroyed the Skrull attackers.
• Fueled by distrust and betrayal in light of the current situation, the team disbands again, leaving Iron Man to lament the Skrull invasion.BLACK SKROLT
Holy crap! At first glance, you’d think that a word balloon attached to Black Bolt was an editorial error; but that’s how well writer Brian Michael Bendis caught us (and the Illuminati) off guard! What better way to get back at your enemies than to hide in plain sight—and then beat the crap outta them?! Upping the ante, the Skrulls have added copying their victims’ powers to their repertoire, and if the explosion from Black Skrolt is any indication, this invasion is no longer a secret.
WORST. YEAR. EVER.
To shine some logic on the timing of the Skrull invasion, Iron Man gives a 60-second review of the sucky year our heroes have faced, citing: the Avengers’ dissolution, the Civil War, Atlantis’ destruction, Nick Fury’s long absence, and the death of Captain America. Amidst all the drama, you can almost imagine that someone, somewhere, had to say “What else could go wrong?” and bam! Skrulls. Be on the lookout for things to get worse, and if you see Uatu showing up anytime soon, let us know, and we’re hitchin’ the first boat outta this solar system.
OUR BAD…
In hindsight, maybe barging into the Skrull homeworld “A-Team” style and shoutin’ ultimatums back in New Avengers: Illuminati #1 wasn’t such a good idea. But hey, now’s not the time to say, “I told you so.” With the evidence of Skrullektra’s corpse, Iron Man fills in his former colleagues about the mess they’ve created and the threat it poses to the entire planet. And to add insult to injury, it would appear that the Skrulls aren’t without a sense of irony, since the same person who originally blew up their warship back in issue #1 (Black Bolt) is the same guy they used to initiate their assault on the Illuminati. Coincidence? No.
A SKRULL FOR EVERY HERO
As shown with Black Skrolt, the Skrulls not only have the ability to mimic the powers of Marvel’s heroes, but also the ability to mimic the thought patterns of their victims’ identities. In this issue, we get a glance at two heavy hitters, Skrull-Thor and Skrull-Colossus, who already caught the Illuminati on the ropes after their first battle with Black Skrolt and could only be defeated at the hands of a mini-nuke-exploding Iron Man! If the Skrulls have their sights set on the major players of the Marvel U., don’t be surprised if your favorite hero becomes the next member of the Skrull Kill Krew! We’re looking at you, D-Man!

Oh yeah I was right:
We have a FF Skrull an
Spoiler:
Avengers Skrull and a X-Men Skrull
NRAMA: Okay – scheduling covered, but to get to the other point among fans – the continuity of it all. Since a (recovered) Black Bolt is a main player, this issue takes place after World War Hulk, then?
BB: Right – this is set after World War Hulk and Civil War - this is happening as close to whatever “today” is in the Marvel Universe as you can get. It happens after what’s going on in New Avengers right now, and it also happens after Mighty Avengers #7. As the issue shows, Tony has Elektra’s body, and we’ll see how he got the body and what he went through with it over there.

Until Bendis or some one else says the hulk beat a skrull, hulk beat Black Bolt sorry 🙁
p.s. a skrull could not destroy the moon, a ship or kill Sentry with a word
