The Skrulls, known for their shape-shifting abilities, made their latest appearance in the Disney Plus show WandaVision, where a shape-shifter alerted Monica Rambeau that Nick Fury was searching for her. However, the upcoming show Secret Invasion will bring the Skrulls to the forefront, as a group residing on Earth has rebelled. This new season will provide a deeper understanding of this alien race and their abilities, which will be crucial in understanding the events of Secret Invasion and possibly future Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) stories.
Before delving into the top 9 things we learned from episode 1, it’s important to note that there will be significant spoilers ahead.
1. Skrulls live exceptionally long lives: Skrulls have significantly longer lifespans than humans. In episode 1, we discover that Talos is 136 years old and has yet to reach his mid-life crisis. This extended lifespan allows the Skrulls ample time to plan and execute a secret invasion over many years.
2. Skrulls possess impressive strength: While bullets can kill Skrulls quite easily, they are incredibly strong in hand-to-hand combat. This strength becomes a telling sign of their true nature, as demonstrated by Talos during a fight with a Skrull posing as a human.
3. A Skrull’s death reveals their true form: Secret Invasion season 1 confirms that a shape-shifter’s true identity is exposed upon death. If a Skrull is masquerading as a human, they will revert to their authentic Skrull form after dying.
4. Detection can be challenging: G’iah reveals that the longer a Skrull remains in the same human disguise, the harder it becomes to identify them. This suggests that there may be alternative methods to uncovering a Skrull’s true identity without resorting to violence.
5. Two methods of assuming a human form: Skrulls can easily adopt someone’s appearance by merely looking at them. This ability is showcased in both Captain Marvel and the climax of Secret Invasion. Additionally, Skrulls can use a device to extract the host’s mind, allowing the shape-shifter to possess the memories of the person they are replacing. This detail may be crucial if Skrulls were to replace Avengers or important characters in the future.
6. Skrulls are resistant to radiation: Skrulls show a tolerance for radiation, as demonstrated by their hiding spots in former nuclear plant sites in Russia. Their ability to withstand radiation may play a significant role in future events.
7. Gravik’s faction kills Soren: Soren, previously seen as Talos’s wife in Captain Marvel and No Way Home, has unfortunately died, seemingly at the hands of the rogue Skrulls. This family detail is crucial in G’iah’s transformation from the Gravik team to Fury and his allies.
8. Skrulls have infiltrated major world powers: Sonya Falsworth reveals that Skrulls have successfully infiltrated the ranks of major world powers. This revelation will likely shape the plot of Secret Invasion and future MCU adventures.
