Well ... if a villain turns out to be a Skrull, is that really a bad thing? I mean, sure we're shocked when one of our favorite colorful heroes turns out to be a green, powerful alien trying to take over the planet, but is it really that bad when an evil villain is a skrull? Is there truly a difference? Ah, well, on to today's Skrull ...

Don't think they'd manage to get Doom - he's too paranoid. I can't see a Skrull Doom being any match for the real thing - though it would be interesting to see...

Maybe the next miniseries will have them turn out to be clones of King Kull... or the Red Skull... Old Skull... Irma Krull... Posts: 3510 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Aug 2002

Hmmm... Red... Green... Y'think that someone's been reading a certain title about a certain ring-slinger by a certain Geoff Johns?
Nahhh, with our luck, the pattern probably has something to do with traffic lights than the Green Lantern Corps. Posts: 3510 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Aug 2002

I guess the Beatles must have sounded very alien to people when they first appeared... Maybe that's Skrull music? If anyone can be a Skrull... Who knows, right?
The music of the Skrulls!

But seriously, does it matter if the Skrulls are taking over villains too? It's not like someone's going to go, "Oh my, you want to take over the world! I'm so surprised!"

Depends on the reason, Jen, honestly. If they can replace someone who leads other villains (The Red Skull, Apocalypse, Sinister etc) they can then use the villain's followers to create massive diversions or otherwise try to keep the heroes busy when their main invasion force arrives. If they could use the likes of Hydra and AIM to attack SHIELD at the right moment, they could create such confusion that their victory would be almost certain.
Replacing some loser like the Vulture, on the other hand, just wouldn't be worth their time.
From a strategic POV, they should be looking to replace leaders and use them to sow maximum confusion.
They also want to secure the nuclear arsenals as fast as possible to both stop them being used and provide a useful back-up plan if it all starts going wrong. Nuclear blackmail is unlikely to fail on most of the heroes, at least in the short term.
Right now their absolute top target has to be Stark, though, as he has an entire army of useful idiots under his absolute control who've had the resistance whipped out of them already after Civil War. If they get him, they have the planet.
I'd honestly put Doom second - not because of Doom himself, but because of his vast army of technologically advanced robots. If Doom went all out he could probably take the world - and at the very least he has the biggest and best spoiler force out there. A full-fledged Latverian invasion of Earth would take some stopping, even without the Skrulls.

Steve - I always think Doom would look better in a Skrull-cap! He's normally the guy in green anyway, so I guess adding a bit MORE green to the mix won't hurt!

Kermit's an amphibian, which means he can use both hands against Doomsie... or something like that Posts: 3510 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Aug 2002

You know, Doctor Doom being a Skrull might make sense... was his return after the "Authoritative Action" story in Fantastic Four ever explained?

"Fantastic Four" To The Tune of "Satisfaction" By The Rolling Stones
I can't beat the Fantastic Four
I can't beat the Fantastic Four
'Cause I've tried And I've tried And I've tried And I've tried
I can't beat the I can't beat the
When they're flying in their car And Ben Grimm talks on the radio He's yelling me more and more About some useless situation Supposed to try my tiny nation
I can't beat the
No, no, no Hate, hate, hate
That's not my way
I can't beat the Fantastic Four
I can't beat the Fantastic Four
'Cause I've tried And I've tried And I've tried And I've tried
I can't beat the I can't beat the
When I'm doing my good deed And Reed Richards comes to tell me How right my tests should be But he can't be the man cause he's such a joke The same sort of regrets as me
I can't beat the
No, no, no Hate, hate, hate
That's not my way
I can't beat the Fantastic Four
I can't beat the Fantastic Four
'Cause I've tried And I've tried And I've tried But I've tried
I can't beat the I can't beat the
When I'm conquering the world And I'm doing this and I'm feigning that And I'm fighting the Invisible girl Who tells me Maybe I better come back Maybe next week 'Cause I see you're on a losing streak
I can't beat the
No, no, no Hate, hate, hate
That's not my way
I can't beat the I can't beat the
I can't beat the Fantastic Four
The Fantastic Four The Fantastic Four The Fantastic Four
