Who Can you Trust? Who else is a Skrull?

I did found that panel odd. Not that he said they were waiting for the others but that he needlessly repeated himself.

Thats not an uncommon form of emphasis in fiction.

how about when (in Illuminati 1) Tony saved Prof. X, one of the skrulls kept saying "noo. stop" and looking at Tony and X looked at him like "stfu"

suspicious? maybe.

I think you're thinking too hard.

that and i'm bored doing English.

so are we just overlooking that a thor-looking and a colossus-looking skrull, both taking the shape of the most prominent back-from-the-dead characters in recent years, busted up the illuminati's meeting?

Bendis said in an interview that they weren't Colossus and Thor Skrulls. They were Amalgams of the X-Men(Skrullossus = SkrullX) and the Avengers (Skrullathor = Skrullavenger) just like how Super Skrull is an amalgam of the Fantastic Four. So they don't have any effect on AXM and Thors current series.

well **** bendis, then. making me look foolish.

i suppose it's for the best, all-in-all.

Out of all the illumunati the only person I am 100 positive is not a skrull is Namor.

And Black Skrullt was an amalgam of the Illuminati. He was still impersonating just one of them.

Not saying that I think they COULD influence those two series', but, really - just cause they are amalgams doesn't mean that they couldn't have impersonated a single person.

Point taken...these bits highlighted confused me:

NRAMA: Two of those four or five things – the other Skrulls that show up, and you’ve made no secret of this, that characters like Colossus and Thor, who’ve been dead, but returned, bear close watching. You showed two Skrulls with the accessories of Thor and Colossus. What can we take away from that?

BB: A look at them more as 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. The original Super Skrull can now be seen as an early model car – it was a good car, but it was just the start. Like we said, the Skrulls have advanced. These are the modern-day Skrull warriors. As for how they came to be – that we’ll show very, very soon.

But yeah – look at them again – there’s more than Colossus and Thor represented. It’s almost like a classic X-Men Skrull and a classic Avengers Skrull.

NRAMA: So to beat this to death, it wasn’t that, no matter what was happening in Thor or Astonishing X-Men when this scene happened, you had Thor and Colossus excusing themselves for a moment, and shooting over here to kick ass…

BB: Right. Exactly. These Skrulls are nothing more than what they look like right now. Elektra – the discovery of a Skrull among their ranks has already started the psychological attack, and this is the version or at least, the harbinger of what the physical attack will be like.

Now, imagine thousands of those.

Oh – and I have to say, just looking at those Skrulls again, how blown away I’ve been by Jimmy Cheung. I’ve been a big fan of his for a long time, and this issue is the world of his life so far. No hype, no ________, I think that he is one of the best mainstream pencilers on the planet, and this is the best thing he’s ever done. He’s gone all over the Marvel Universe in this miniseries, and everything was spot-on. I just want to applaud him publicly as I’ve done many times privately.

WTF... thousands of Skrulls, each with the entire powerset of the Avengers or the X-men?

Sounds like the perfect opportunity for Cap to Brock Sampson out of the ground and kill them all by slamming his shield into them one at a time.

Brock and Cap aren't comparable at all.
