Who Can you Trust? Who else is a Skrull?

Anyway, Marvel has done the Skrull thing in the past. When Johnny Storm married Alicia in the 1980's, within ten years she was revealed to be a Skrull imposter! (I forget where the real Alicia was during that time.)

She was being held hostage by the Skrulls

Basically the whole thing was a copout because John Byrne had broken up Ben and Alicia and had Johnny marry her instead so marvel retconned it and made Alicia a skrull named Lyja

Lyja joined the FF and all of that junk, but she's been missing since heroes reborn 😬

Shame too, she was a good character

Any idea if the Skrull impostors are aware they are Skrulls, or are they sleeper agents like Skrulverine was?

I'm kind of hoping Wolverine is a Skrull, because this would be good oppertunity to retcon everything that happened in Wolverine Origins.... infact everything Post HoM. Hydra and the Hand could have switched him with a Skrull during EotS.

OK, after thinking about this some more (and playing Ultimate Alliance some more), it's obviously Strange.

With his Eye (and mental powers), he could easily tell who the Skrull impostor is.
Unless this current Strange has lost use of his Eye to seek out truth...
Then, I will stand by reason, that it's Stephen.

Wouldn't he had bled green when stabbed by random ninja #3018?

Yeah but then how did he enter the astral planewith his magic and survive being stabbed.

Humans aren't the only ones who can use magic.

As far as I can tell, Tony isn't a skrull, but Marvel IS going to use this as a chance to explain his behavior in Civil War.

I'm guessing the skrulls nearly got to Tony, but he realized what was going on and destroyed his would-be-impersonator and has been undercover since before Civil War.

Think about it, it's a perfect way to justify his behavior without destroying his character development during the event (ex: Happy's death).

bendis has put a huge amount of time into jessica drew and jessica jones. quesada said that in order to stop bendis from pitching certain ideas, he'd tell him that if his idea got through, he'd let some other writer's idea to kill jessica jones through.

those girls are like his pets, just like psylocke and storm for claremont. it's possible he was holding onto them for so long because he wanted this to work out, making on of them a skrull. but that seems unlikely, with all the work he's done to make them cool, interesting characters. a retcon that it wasn't them to begin with? he's done a lot with luke, but that baby is just a little too creepy to be ignored right now. i'd say it's probably luke.

and the hints toward strange are good, too.

I kept thinking that it would be impossible to impersonate Dr.Strange skillz, specially after Tony did an extensive search and Brother Voodoo worked his voodoo of his house while they were there but then again there could be a skrull who could be able to do magic. Then again he dont have to know shit, a few tricks here and there, a little teleportation to fool Tony and Brother Voodoo couldve been enough to fool the rest of the NA since most of them couldnt tell if his "magic" was fake.

I dont think Spider-Woman is a skrull. Marvel has put a lot of effort to bring her back from obscurity, even giving her her own mini to just throw everything they have done away to make her a skrull.

That actually could make sense, this could put Tony back in everyones good graces. Most of us that dont like him anyways.

I doubt it will be Tony or Jessica but Dr strange seems like an obvious choice with his naff magic recently. Plus the fact that part of the paranoia of the storyline is that they have been undetected. Not even by Strange's spell, because he is a Skrull (?)

Xavier is another possible choice with the whole H.O.M fiasco. Although he is supposed to be an important character in next years X-men event so I may be wrong.......

They say it's a member of the Illuminati right ?

Xavier - No, he's recently been re-powered I doubt they could re-power a skrull.

Stark - Marvel said it isn't stark .

Namor - Possibly, can they replicate Amphibious skrulls ?

Black Panther - Hudlin Panther could cause Skrull backlash....

BlackBolt - They invested too much in Silent War

Reed - Possibly , explains dickishness and creation of Clor (as well as why Reed stated he was against CW then later for it).

Strange - Magic puts it in doubt , then again isn't their a faction of Magical skrulls ?

Bendis said it in an interview IIRC.

Xavier - Nope.

Stark - Doub it.

Namor - Can his dickiness be duplicated?

Black Panther - I would like him to be one just so Storm can have that marriage anulled.

BlackBolt - Doubt it but it would explain how Hulk was able to take his scream.

Reed - Maybe but it would f**k up a whole lot of story lines.

Strange - Obvious choice, explains why he was taken out rather easily in NA.

FYI, Black Panther isn't a member of the Illuminati.

Of any of them, Namor and Dr. Strange are most likely. I don't see how they can pull this with anyone who has a long running series.

Panther isn't a skrull

If they had tried to replace him he would have stopped it and figured out the entire invasion and then probably made some kind of plan to stop it.

Rather the skrulls replaced Storm, the only one who they knew T'Challa would never suspect. So basically they now have control of Wakanda without T'Challa even knowing it

Panther wouldn't need a plan. He'd just armlock the shit outta them.

As far as I can tell right now the skrulls are...

Spider-Woman - Got to her during Civil War

Echo - Check back to the Ronin arc, she's death and yet she acts as if she can hear perfectly fine?

Mr. Fantastic - Got to him right before Civil War

Invisible Woman - Got to her just recently on her second honeymoon

Aunt May - Her GOOD death was her real death, since then she's been a skrull

Green Goblin - He's been dead since his first death.

Sentry's Wife - They couldn't replicate the Sentry's powers (and they didn't want to mess with him), so they put an agent in place of the biggest influence on his life (also she has been dead as she originally was during the first arc of New Avengers)

Lindy wasn't really dead- the Sentry just thought he had killed her.

Man, I'm really hoping Dr. Strange isn't a skrull, but it would make sense. he hasn't used the Eye of Agammetto once since he's been put in the New Avengers- the Eye won't respond to people using it for shady reasons. There HAVE been Skrull magic users, if I remember correctly, and some of them were actually pretty good. Doctor Strange is the reason I started reading comics- and if he is a Skrull, I'm going to be pretty sad. unless of course, him being a Skrull leads to the re-emergence and being put into the spotlight of the REAL Stephen Strange. That would actually be pretty cool then.

I made this point before, but a lot of clues hint towards Doctor Strange- his de-powering, the fact that the Skrull baby laughed when he used the spell to check "evil intent," his sudden joining of the New Avengers- an act he would have NO reason to do, seeing as how ever since the whole fall from grace storyline where he lost the blessings of the Vishanti and his return from that, he's been withdrawn from the Marvel universe, and pretty reluctant to join teams or aid in team ups. I think his appearance in dissambled, if he is a Skrull, would be the last time we saw the Doctor as a human.
