Massive wildcards. Not to mention the League of Assassins in their hidden city etc.

SHADE is good with dealing with threats like these. Stormwatch as well.

How would the 1000x Sorceror Supremes work, anyway? Do they all have an Eye of Agamotto etc?

i don't know... maybe not the artifacts but the raw magical power...
anyway it's a fan made thread so i'm guessing 1000 eyes of agamotto can count 😛

I'm assuming that they're baseline Dr. Strange, which combined with power cosmic an Hulk powers would create an awesome army. I like your strategy earlier, very creative,however, I still think that the shear numbers would be to overwhelming. Mex should have scaled this down quite a bit.

Even with those numbers, I don't see how they can take a serious Spectre or Phantom Stranger, who were powerful enough to wreck all of creation with their fight.

So..if the plot called for it, they show up?

My plot has now changed. Phantom Stranger/Spectre BOTH show up, and go to town on them.

The last time a major event happened in DC, Madame Xanadu saw it all:

I reckon an army as powerful as yours, she would see it. And as a member of JLD, she would warn at least Constantine.

Nice scan, but it doesn't mean she's all seeing and all knowing. She obviously couldn't foresee her own abduction. Madame Web has similar abilities and the Skrulls able to plan accordingly. Also, the Secret Invasion started long before Marvel Earth realised what was coming
and as a result they were caught with their pants down. I see no reason to think this would be any different.
The OP stated that the Skrulls are prepped for war, correct? Different races prep differently, the Shi'ar and Kree more of the "shock and awe" type, whereas the Skrulls from past defeats and make the necessary adjustments. The OP also stated that the Skrulls don't know which super powered beings are on the planet, but didn't say that they couldn't gather Intel and figure it out once they got there. Based on past experience especially, with the FF4 and Marvel Earth they would more than likely assume that DC Earth would have super beings as well. Taking that into consideration the Skrulls have several viable options, either they send in a few pawns from each group of Skrulls in a pin prick assault on DC Earth to see who is swinging the biggest dicks, or they use the cosmic awareness of the Defender Skrulls to see exactly what they are up against and plan accordingly.

True, and I also wish I hadn't posted such a massive image lol.

Difference is, Xanadu sees things BEFORE they happen, hence, precog.

If the Skrulls show up, somehow undetected, and THEN try and neutralise her, she would have already seen them coming into DC space. You can't say oh, Madame Web has the same powers, they neutralised her; they did so because they specifically knew about her already.

Whereas they don't know about Xanadu. And wouldn't know until they actually arrive, by which time she has already foreseen it, and has warned the relevant people.

Even Madame Xanadu can't see scans that break the page.

👆 I like your thinking.

If there are any feats of Madame Xanadu thwarting alien invasions, or all-out war, or... y'know... anything that even comes close to the nature and/or scale of this hypothetical, that might go a long way towards justifying her mentioning here.

Otherwise, as somebody's already referenced, her precognitive abilities have as much chance of affecting this scenario as Madame Web's precognition does of an invasion of thousands of Justice League amalgams on Marvel Earth.

Which is to say, none -- because Madame Web hasn't done sh1t on that level to be relevant.

But then you might as well argue Super Skrull has no feats showcasig his leadership skills with such a powerful army...and therefore, the entire enterprise is doomed from the Start because he would make a crap general.

Because Super Skrull has never led pivotal war efforts during Annihilation, Annihilation: Conquest or Infinity?

Somebody needs to call a doctor -- your point methinks, it fell flat on its face.
