Marvel: Secret Invasion
Some time after the Civil War, a battle broke out between the Avengers (Ant-Man, Black Panther, Marvel and Hercules) and the Hand over the fate of Echo. During the fight, Echo was freed from the Hand's influence, and stabs the Hand's leader Elektra. Moments after her death, Elektra was revealed to be a Skrull. Tensions rose amongst the Avengers, as no-one was able to detect Elektra's true nature, they surmised any one of them could also be a Skrull. Ms Marvel suggested that they hand over the Skrull corpse to Iron Man, but she was rebuked by Black Panther, who believed Iron Man to be a Skrull as well. During a fight, Ms Marvel knocked out her fellow Avengers and stole the corpse to bring to Iron Man.
Ms Marvel informed Tony Stark of what had happened in Japan, including the suspicion by his former teammates that he was a Skrull himself. A disturbed Stark accepted this, claimed that his possession and DNA restructuring by Ultron verified his authenticity, then demanded to know where Nick Fury was, because he would know what to do. Carol didn't know. Stark agreed with Black Panther's opinion that this was just the beginning of an invasion, and convinced her to joina larger battle against the aliens. Stark assumed that one of the Avengers was a Skrull sent to kill him, and with Ms Marvel on the mission the Skrull would know that the Avengers were now aware of the Skrull threat. Ms Marvel convinced the others that she merely wanted to get back to doing something useful, and did not tell them what happened in Japan.
Iron Man was shocked by the Skrull corpse, realizing it to be a repercussion of the Illuminati's attack years prior. He called forth the Guardians of the Galaxy to assess the intergalactic threat, and they debated over whether this meant an invasion had taken place. The group was caught off guard, however, when Rocket Raccoon voiced his opinion. It was revealed that he was in fact a Skrull as well, and fought the others over the body. This Skrull showed to possess the powers of all the members of the Guardians. After Drax managed to kill him, the Illuminati were attacked by two more Skrulls:
◾ A Skrull that had Cyclops' optic blasts, Nightcrawler's prehensile tail, and Colossus' metallic skin.
◾ A Skrull that wielded a technological copy of Thor's hammer Mjolnir.
These Skrulls were killed by Iron Man who detonated a small nuclear bomb with his armor. Peter Quill reminded them that any of them could also be a Skrull, and that no one was to be trusted. The group then went their separate ways once more.
Then Ms Marvel battled the villains Cobalt Man and the original Cyclone, both supposedly deceased. She was then confronted by a group of Skrulls posing as Kree Soldiers, who attempted to kill her but were quickly defeated by Marvel with the aid of Iron Man. She then went on to confront the Fantastic Four over her identity, and then shared with them her experiences fighting both Cobalt Man and Cyclone. Shortly thereafter, Marvel went to interrogate Cobalt Man, who revealed himself to be a Skrull and stated "You are not Ms Marvel". Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk, was revealed to be a Skrull as well. Iron Man was suspicious of Marvel's true identity and sent Hercules, Ant-Man, and Black Panther to investigate. The Skrull impersonating Cobalt Man revealed to Ms Marvel that he was in fact a Skrull sleeper agent named Khn'nr created to pose as the real Tony Stark. However, despite his status, Marvel decided to fight against the invading Skrulls.
Iron Man told S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson, a member of Ms. Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D. strike force Operation Lightning Storm, about the coming invasion and stated that he believed Black Panther was actually a Skrull agent. A Skrull named Rl'nnd was found by Ms. Marvel in what she believed was an A.I.M. lair and attacked her, only to escape. Afterward, Ms. Marvel found the body of a former friend of hers. Agent Coulson and the rest of Lightning Storm tried to capture Ms. Marvel under the impression that she was the murderer. Eventually both Ms. Marvel and the Skrull impostor were captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. with Rl'nnd following in disguise. After Rl'nnd revealed himself, the Skrull Ms. Marvel told Ms. Marvel that her friend was a Kree. She also had disguised herself as him to convince Ms. Marvel he was dead, and that he was still alive.
A Skrull posing as Daredevil met Echo outside of Matt Murdock's office. Echo saw through its disguise since the Skrull's weren't aware of Daredevil's current activities. With Mantis's help, Echo repelled the Skrull.
Iron Man called in two of the brightest minds on Earth: Doctor Reed Richards and Doctor Henry Pym to examine the body of the Elektra-Skrull that Spider-Woman brought to him. He knew it was just the beginning of an invasion.
Meanwhile, The Peak, S.W.O.R.D.'s headquarters, hosted a meeting between various world security agencies. As Commander Dugan arrived, a Skrull ship entered Earth's atmosphere and crashed in the Savage Land. Tony Stark got called in by Agent Brand, leaving Reed and Hank to examine the Skrull.
Iron Man called forth the Fantastic Four, but only Johnny Storm answered. He contacted the remainder of the team and told them about the crashed Skrull ship.
The Fantastic Four and the Guardians of the Galaxy meet up in the Savage Land near the crashed ship, now joined by the real Rocket Raccoon, each side ready to fight. As Drax pried open the Skrull ship, S.H.I.E.L.D. was receiving live video feeds from Iron Man's armor. Both Agent Coulson and Maria Hill, upon seeing Drax pry open the ship, decided to take "action".
Maria Hill set off an explosion that destroyed S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, saying "He Loves You" just before the blast. Phil Coulson had uploaded a virus into the Stark computer mainframe, saying "He Loves You" causing Iron Man's armor to malfunction and disable Tony Stark and infecting the entire Stark computer network with an alien virus from satellites to defense systems. Ms. Marvel called the Helicarrier, but no one responded. G.W. Bridge ordered everyone to abandon ship as the Helicarrier had lost all power and control, falling down toward a city.
Meanwhile, a multitude of villains and national security threats are released from prisons and holding cells throughout the entire galaxy.
Meanwhile at the Baxter Building, a Skrull disguised as a tourist changed into Susan Storm, entered the lab, and opened a gateway to the Negative Zone, again saying "He loves You", and creating a massive vacuum within the Baxter Building that began to engulf the building and the surroundings.
In the Savage Land, Iron Man slipped into a seizure as the Skrull ship opened, revealing its cargo: Iron Man, Scarlet Witch, Susan Storm, Daredevil, Emma Frost, and Mantis, claiming that they had made it back to Earth. "Emma Frost", who emerged from the ship, asked the gathered Avengers who exactly they were.
In orbit, Agent Asdit and his team were safe in stasis gel. He called for help only to realize that a massive Skrull invasion fleet had just arrived on Earth's doorstep.
At the lab, Reed realized how the Skrulls became undetectable and turned to tell Hank. Pym pulled out a laser weapon and shot Richards which destabilized him. As Hank transformed into a Skrull, he said "He Even Loves You".
Despite the urging of Ares that their confrontation was merely a distraction from the true battle, the assembled heroes from the ship and their counterparts on Earth began fighting, both sides convinced that their opponents were the Skrulls. In the ensuing battle, the Iron Scarlet Witch and Iron Man from the ship were both killed and reverted into Skrulls, while Mantis insisted she was not an impostor. Mantis also stated that the Daredevil from the ship may, in fact, be the genuine article. While Black Panther disappeared into the jungle and Earth's Ms. Marvel headed back to the States, Earth's Iron Man (still suffering from the Skrull virus) started to build himself a new suit from the wreckage of a nearby lab. Not being able to combat the power of the Silver Surfer the Skrulls decided the best way to deal with him was to make the Surfer have a psychotic episode. With Silver Surfer believing that a Skrull posing as the Sub-Mariner told him, opted to stay out of the fight. Skrull Morg showed up battling Skrulls and saving Shalla-Bal promising to do all that The Silver Surfer wouldn't do. In Manhattan, meanwhile, the first wave of Super Skrull shock troops bearing the abilities of Earth's super-humans arrived.
Meanwhile, Britain was also attacked by a Skrull armada and a wave of empowered Super Skrulls. The Skrulls had infiltrated the ranks of the British government, though they were exposed by Howard the Duck, who is now currently living in Britain and running for office. The Skrulls' target was Senator Charles Dalton, who was in Britain on a mission with the UN. To protect this source of magic Howard the Duck attacked a Skrull missile head on, possibly sacrificing himself.
During the evacuation of Helicarrier, the Agent Coulson Impersonator confronted Tony Stark about surrendering to the Skrulls.
In Times Square the Avengers tried their best to battle the invading forces. The team was joined by many young unknown trainee mutants from Xavier Institute to assist, but this did not help with their battle, until Nick Fury and his new rebel commandos arrived.
Ms Marvel then attacked and knocked out Echo all but solidifying that Ms. Danvers had been replaced. After the scuffle the impostor found Stark and congratulated him calling him her lover Kr’Ali and confirming that she was the Skrull Queen.
During the battle in New York, the Inhumans arrive on Earth to land in the middle of the fight. Karnak, apparently a secret Skrull, knocked out the team and appeared to betray them. After realizing that Black Panther was about to be executed by the Skrulls, Black Bolt sweeps in to rescue him.
Whilst all of this was happening, Reed Richards was revealed to be held by Skrull forces up in Earth's orbit on an unidentified armada ship, stretched to his physical limits and surrounded by a crowd of Skrull watchers and scientists, helpless against the threats and torture. Agent Scott Asdit managed to break through the exterior of another ship and made it into one of the central control rooms, seeing the images of the invasion, death, and destruction the Skrulls were making on Earth, as well as the torture of Mr. Fantastic on his radars. A Skrull guard and a youngster found and pointed a gun at him. The Silver Surfer was up in orbit, still being tormented by the false words of the Skrull Morg impostor and refusing to help.
Down in the chaotic battle in Manhattan, Nick Fury and the new rebel Commandos showed promises of turning the tide; the real Scarlet Witch, after being heavily blasted by a group of Skrull soldiers ended up rising in the middle of Fury and his group in Times Square as they fought, shocked by the return of the ex-S.H.I.E.L.D. leader. As they quickly headed into the fray, Quicksilver appeared and managed to rescue all the downed Avengers and Initiative cadets before further execution and casualties. The real Ms. Marvel proceeded to help, but soon after was shot by Fury, whom was unconvinced she was the real Carol Danvers. After being shot back into another street, the Skrull onlookers quickly overran her, with the Skrull Henry Pym looking down at her with a smirk on his face. Fury then called his men to retreat so that they could plan their next move.
Watching the battle via news broadcast on live television, the real Wilson Fisk decided to take his rebuilt empire of the New York City criminal roster and battle the Skrulls, as "no more Earth is bad for business". In the Bermuda Triangle, JARVIS, who had been hacked into by the Skrulls, attacked Maria Hill in an attempt to get her to surrender, but Maria refused and said it was still her ship, but the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents turned into Skrulls. Back in the Savage Land, Skrull Black Panther meets a hiding Tony Stark and continues to persuade Tony into believing he was a Skrull sleeper agent named Kl'Riki Dulu, and that she would find a way to turn him back to his original form and praised him as the greatest Skrull Warrior to ever live. The real Black Panther was revealed to be watching the conversation, and proceeded to enter and attack the impostor. The Impostor Black Panther managed to escape when some Skrull soldiers distracted T'Challa, and T'Challa injected Tony with a dose of adrenaline to keep him going. He convinced him to continue the fight, despite the words of his Skrull self and the possibility of him being a sleeper. The two concluded that Tony had to rebuild the armor quick, and return to New York as soon as possible.
After Fury and his commandos moved on, the view shifted to innocent civilians evading Skrull forces in Central Park. As they were about to be killed by some Skrull soldiers, the Hulk arrives plowing through his enemies, a large beast streaks through the crowd. As the civilians look through the destruction, the shadowy figure of what appeared to be Hulk in the New York City lights could be seen. Another mysterious figure was shown watching the event from another location with a pair of binoculars; the figure then proceeded to move from his position, and suddenly Deadpool was seen.
Meanwhile, Hercules encounters a Skrull in the form of his former lover, Deianira made love after she confessed to him that she didn't want to be alone anymore. After coming to his senses, an impending battle between Hercules and a massively powered Deianira ensues, the one in the sentence "He loves you". However, Hercules won the battle after stabbing her, one of their most equipped soldiers, giving the Skrulls a huge upset in their war campaign.
As the Skrulls comfortably settled in Portland, Oregon, enslaving the population, the Skrulls repeatedly announced that any attempt at resistance would be met with extreme force. Deadpool and Copycat, disguised as slaves, attacked the Skrulls, freaking Nita Prentiss who had been captured. The trio captured the regional Skrull commander, taking only his head, bringing it to their underwater saucer where GW Bridge and Maria Hill were waiting. They extracted military secrets from the severed head just as they were attacked. The odd team repelled the attack, liberated Portland, set a course for Seattle to secure that city, then intended on securing the country before moving to Japan, but they questioned who they could trust.
Norman Osborn talked a Skrull-Ms Marvel out of destroying his carnies, sending him away in anguish. He then declared to U.S. troops that they were at war.
Nick Fury arrived with the Inhumans, his new rebel Commandos, and the Avengers at his new command post. The Vision survived an attempted murder by the Skrulls, but remained rather disfigured/damaged. He awaited with his team for the Skrulls to announced their plans for Earth and they did. Using generated images of various leaders including the Pope, Barack Obama, John McCain, Eric Cartman, Tony Stark, Namor, Doctor Doom, Kim Jong Un, and others, the Skrulls announced that they intended on assimilating all humans into their culture and way of life, declaring Earth part of the Skrull empire. The only way for the human race to save their planet was to assimilate.
Meanwhile in space, Agent Asdit successfully infiltrated the Skrull ship holding Mr. Fantastic captive where he battled the Skrulls experimenting on them, either killing or disabling them and freeing Dr. Richards. Frustrated, he decompressed the ship, throwing every Skrull out into space. Richards panicked, threatening Asdit, demanding the location of his family, believing that he was to be a Skrull. He revealed that the Skrulls needed him alive to assist in the invasion. Richards tested Asdit to prove he was not a Skrull as the ship they had commandeered came under attack. The two eventually managed to convince each other and teamed up to engage and destroy a large portion of the Skrull fleet. Asdit then had to team up with Richards to figure out how to fly the alien ship and land it in the Savage Land.
Back on the Shield Helicarrier, Maria Hill revealing to JARVIS and the Skrull insurgents that she was using a life model decoy as Fury had suggested to her many months ago. The Skrulls killed the duplicate and Hill on a jet-pack, opened fire on the Skrulls and then managed to infiltrate JARVIS's mainframe, causing the ship and JARVIS to self-destruct.
The various superheroes, Savage Land leaders, and Skrull (or not) impersonators clashed again, about ready to fight. Each one declaring who they were or who they believed themselves to be. Emma Frost stated she could detect who was a Skrull and who was not, accusing the real Ant-Man of being an impostor. Susan Storm-Richards stated she would keep everyone in place with a force field until all was settled. Mr. Fantastic then fired into the center of the crowd of super heroes with an odd weapon. When tech dust and brightness receded, the Skrulls and humans were revealed and a battle ensued. The Skrull impostors were surprised when their skin turned green and became surprised and disoriented, making them easier to take down by the real super heroes.
The invasion reached San Francisco, new home of the X-Men. Believing the city to be virtually defenseless except for local police, they launched a small scale attack to cause enough damage to instill fear. However, their ground teams encountered unexpected superhuman resistance: Xavier's newest training mutant recruits. The X-Men launched a counter strike, defending civilians and evacuating badly attacked buildings. The Skrulls were shocked to find the X-Men in San Francisco especially when they took over their command shuttle. As the X-men made a successful gain, the Skrulls launched their super soldiers into the city from an orbiting ship.
While in Wakanda, As many Wakandan warriors died, Black Panther successfully fought off a very intimidating Super-Skrull only to be temporarily defeated by two Skrull subversives within his ranks. He then brought himself back and slaughtered dozens of the Skrull invaders, including Commander K'vvvr, he sent the entire ship loaded with the corpses of the entire Skrull invasion force back to the Skrull homeworld with a message written in blood saying "This is what happens when you invade Wakanda".
Trapped in the Negative Zone, Johnny Storm, The Thing, and Franklin Richards worked together to help Franklin temporarily learn to use his powers of reality manipulation to return the three back to New York.
Norman Osborn and his carnies launched a counter-attack on the force invading Washington DC. They managed to vanquish their Skrull opponents.
Punisher got involved in the fight against the Skrulls and easily killed them.
While flying away, his mind damaged, Silver Surfer came across a damaged Skrull ship. He landed to check it out when a still severely injured Ms Marvel stumbled out. Before she died, Ms Marvel begged the Surfer to stop the invasion but Norin Radd said this wasn't his world. Ms Marvel said it didn't matter and he was here for a reason. He had learned so much from Earth's people and the Skrulls had no honor like the humans or the Kree. Elsewhere, the Skrulls restored the global communication systems and announced their plans. Using the restored systems, they explained the Skrull Invasion with the following talking points:
They only wanted to improve Earth's culture and add to it, not kill anyone.
They had attacked organizations like the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Fantastic Four because they stood in the way of their progress as a society.
They were part of their problems and they wished to change that.
Queen Veranke arrived at Camp Hammond while the Avengers headed to New York only to find it burning. Down on the street a group of people wanted to welcome the Skrulls, but were caught between the battle between the Skrulls and Nick Fury and his troops. Kingpin and his syndicate of criminals decided to finally help out. Hulk made his presence known and met up with Deadpool. The Avengers, Nick Fury & his commandos, Kingpin's crew, Hulk, Deadpool and Copycat, and Norman Osborn and his carnies all assembled. Queen Veranke revealed that "He" was God, and it was an all out war between the Skrulls and the super-humans of Earth.
Despite the vast number of super-humans involved in the fight, briefly reunited under a single purpose again, the battle was still locked in a stand-still, until Uatu appeared, signaling that an event of cosmic relevance was unfolding, and the resolution of the obstacles was near. As Tony Stark was forced to retire from the battle because of damages received on his rebuilt armor, Daredevil and Silver Surfer took his place on the battlefield. The presence of Silver Surfer, claiming his victory in name of Ms Marvel and the Kree, was enough to give the assembled heroes back their resolve. The Punisher slayed several Super-Skrulls before hitting a clear shot on Queen Veranke.
Queen Veranke was revealed to be alive and as the heroes went to attack her, Norman Osborn blew her head off. This event was seen around the world. All super-humans with the power of flight took out what was left of the Skrull armada and Tony Stark, who had returned from Stark tower after donning his original Iron Man suit that he had first constructed many years ago after being captured by terrorists, found the ship containing the heroes and humans that had been replaced. It was later established that the Skrulls needed the original abductees alive because they were the original source material for the Skrulls genetic disguises. Iron Man rejoined Hulk and Deadpool, only to find that the deep-seeded resentment from previous conflicts was still inherent; the blame for the Invasion was placed squarely upon the shoulders of Tony Stark. A Skrull revealed to Daredevil that taking over the Earth was the last chance they had since all their planets had been destroyed. By order of the President, S.H.I.E.L.D. was shut down and anything included in S.H.I.E.L.D., including all Stark Tech, was replaced with Oscorp technologies. Meanwhile, the Skrull-Maria Hill disappeared with Franklin Richards, leaving Reed and Susan desperate. At the end of the film the Dark Illuminati group appears in charge, consisting of Norman Osborn, Doctor Doom, Loki, Emma Frost, Namor, and Wilson Fisk.
Ms Marvel informed Tony Stark of what had happened in Japan, including the suspicion by his former teammates that he was a Skrull himself. A disturbed Stark accepted this, claimed that his possession and DNA restructuring by Ultron verified his authenticity, then demanded to know where Nick Fury was, because he would know what to do. Carol didn't know. Stark agreed with Black Panther's opinion that this was just the beginning of an invasion, and convinced her to joina larger battle against the aliens.

Ms Marvel convinced the others that she merely wanted to get back to doing something useful, and did not tell them what happened in Japan.
Iron Man was shocked by the Skrull corpse, realizing it to be a repercussion of the Illuminati's attack years prior. He called forth the Guardians of the Galaxy to assess the intergalactic threat, and they debated over whether this meant an invasion had taken place. The group was caught off guard, however, when Rocket Raccoon voiced his opinion. It was revealed that he was in fact a Skrull as well, and fought the others over the body. This Skrull showed to possess the powers of all the members of the Guardians. After Drax managed to kill him, the Illuminati were attacked by two more Skrulls:
◾ A Skrull that had Cyclops' optic blasts, Nightcrawler's prehensile tail, and Colossus' metallic skin.
◾ A Skrull that wielded a technological copy of Thor's hammer Mjolnir.
These Skrulls were killed by Iron Man who detonated a small nuclear bomb with his armor. Peter Quill reminded them that any of them could also be a Skrull, and that no one was to be trusted. The group then went their separate ways once more.
Then Ms Marvel battled the villains Cobalt Man and the original Cyclone, both supposedly deceased. She was then confronted by a group of Skrulls posing as Kree Soldiers, who attempted to kill her but were quickly defeated by Marvel with the aid of Iron Man. She then went on to confront the Fantastic Four over her identity, and then shared with them her experiences fighting both Cobalt Man and Cyclone. Shortly thereafter, Marvel went to interrogate Cobalt Man, who revealed himself to be a Skrull and stated "You are not Ms Marvel". Meanwhile, Wilson Fisk, was revealed to be a Skrull as well. Iron Man was suspicious of Marvel's true identity and sent Hercules, Ant-Man, and Black Panther to investigate. The Skrull impersonating Cobalt Man revealed to Ms Marvel that he was in fact a Skrull sleeper agent named Khn'nr created to pose as the real Tony Stark. However, despite his status, Marvel decided to fight against the invading Skrulls.
Iron Man told S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent Phil Coulson, a member of Ms. Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D. strike force Operation Lightning Storm, about the coming invasion and stated that he believed Black Panther was actually a Skrull agent. A Skrull named Rl'nnd was found by Ms. Marvel in what she believed was an A.I.M. lair and attacked her, only to escape. Afterward, Ms. Marvel found the body of a former friend of hers. Agent Coulson and the rest of Lightning Storm tried to capture Ms. Marvel under the impression that she was the murderer. Eventually both Ms. Marvel and the Skrull impostor were captured by S.H.I.E.L.D. with Rl'nnd following in disguise. After Rl'nnd revealed himself, the Skrull Ms. Marvel told Ms. Marvel that her friend was a Kree. She also had disguised herself as him to convince Ms. Marvel he was dead, and that he was still alive.
A Skrull posing as Daredevil met Echo outside of Matt Murdock's office. Echo saw through its disguise since the Skrull's weren't aware of Daredevil's current activities. With Mantis's help, Echo repelled the Skrull.
Iron Man called in two of the brightest minds on Earth: Doctor Reed Richards and Doctor Henry Pym to examine the body of the Elektra-Skrull that Spider-Woman brought to him. He knew it was just the beginning of an invasion.

Iron Man called forth the Fantastic Four, but only Johnny Storm answered. He contacted the remainder of the team and told them about the crashed Skrull ship.
The Fantastic Four and the Guardians of the Galaxy meet up in the Savage Land near the crashed ship, now joined by the real Rocket Raccoon, each side ready to fight.

Maria Hill set off an explosion that destroyed S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, saying "He Loves You" just before the blast.

The trio captured the regional Skrull commander, taking only his head, bringing it to their underwater saucer where GW Bridge and Maria Hill were waiting. They extracted military secrets from the severed head just as they were attacked. The odd team repelled the attack, liberated Portland, set a course for Seattle to secure that city, then intended on securing the country before moving to Japan, but they questioned who they could trust.
Norman Osborn talked a Skrull-Ms Marvel out of destroying his carnies, sending him away in anguish. He then declared to U.S. troops that they were at war.
Nick Fury arrived with the Inhumans, his new rebel Commandos, and the Avengers at his new command post. The Vision survived an attempted murder by the Skrulls, but remained rather disfigured/damaged. He awaited with his team for the Skrulls to announced their plans for Earth and they did. Using generated images of various leaders including the Pope, Barack Obama, John McCain, Eric Cartman, Tony Stark, Namor, Doctor Doom, Kim Jong Un, and others, the Skrulls announced that they intended on assimilating all humans into their culture and way of life, declaring Earth part of the Skrull empire. The only way for the human race to save their planet was to assimilate.
Meanwhile in space, Agent Asdit successfully infiltrated the Skrull ship holding Mr. Fantastic captive where he battled the Skrulls experimenting on them, either killing or disabling them and freeing Dr. Richards. Frustrated, he decompressed the ship, throwing every Skrull out into space. Richards panicked, threatening Asdit, demanding the location of his family, believing that he was to be a Skrull. He revealed that the Skrulls needed him alive to assist in the invasion. Richards tested Asdit to prove he was not a Skrull as the ship they had commandeered came under attack. The two eventually managed to convince each other and teamed up to engage and destroy a large portion of the Skrull fleet. Asdit then had to team up with Richards to figure out how to fly the alien ship and land it in the Savage Land.
Back on the Shield Helicarrier, Maria Hill revealing to JARVIS and the Skrull insurgents that she was using a life model decoy as Fury had suggested to her many months ago. The Skrulls killed the duplicate and Hill on a jet-pack, opened fire on the Skrulls and then managed to infiltrate JARVIS's mainframe, causing the ship and JARVIS to self-destruct.
The various superheroes, Savage Land leaders, and Skrull (or not) impersonators clashed again, about ready to fight. Each one declaring who they were or who they believed themselves to be. Emma Frost stated she could detect who was a Skrull and who was not, accusing the real Ant-Man of being an impostor. Susan Storm-Richards stated she would keep everyone in place with a force field until all was settled. Mr. Fantastic then fired into the center of the crowd of super heroes with an odd weapon. When tech dust and brightness receded, the Skrulls and humans were revealed and a battle ensued. The Skrull impostors were surprised when their skin turned green and became surprised and disoriented, making them easier to take down by the real super heroes.
The invasion reached San Francisco, new home of the X-Men. Believing the city to be virtually defenseless except for local police, they launched a small scale attack to cause enough damage to instill fear. However, their ground teams encountered unexpected superhuman resistance: Xavier's newest training mutant recruits. The X-Men launched a counter strike, defending civilians and evacuating badly attacked buildings. The Skrulls were shocked to find the X-Men in San Francisco especially when they took over their command shuttle. As the X-men made a successful gain, the Skrulls launched their super soldiers into the city from an orbiting ship.
While in Wakanda, As many Wakandan warriors died, Black Panther successfully fought off a very intimidating Super-Skrull only to be temporarily defeated by two Skrull subversives within his ranks. He then brought himself back and slaughtered dozens of the Skrull invaders, including Commander K'vvvr, he sent the entire ship loaded with the corpses of the entire Skrull invasion force back to the Skrull homeworld with a message written in blood saying "This is what happens when you invade Wakanda".
Trapped in the Negative Zone, Johnny Storm, The Thing, and Franklin Richards worked together to help Franklin temporarily learn to use his powers of reality manipulation to return the three back to New York.
Norman Osborn and his carnies launched a counter-attack on the force invading Washington DC. They managed to vanquish their Skrull opponents.
Punisher got involved in the fight against the Skrulls and easily killed them.
While flying away, his mind damaged, Silver Surfer came across a damaged Skrull ship. He landed to check it out when a still severely injured Ms Marvel stumbled out. Before she died, Ms Marvel begged the Surfer to stop the invasion but Norin Radd said this wasn't his world. Ms Marvel said it didn't matter and he was here for a reason. He had learned so much from Earth's people and the Skrulls had no honor like the humans or the Kree. Elsewhere, the Skrulls restored the global communication systems and announced their plans. Using the restored systems, they explained the Skrull Invasion with the following talking points:
They only wanted to improve Earth's culture and add to it, not kill anyone.
They had attacked organizations like the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Fantastic Four because they stood in the way of their progress as a society.
They were part of their problems and they wished to change that.
Queen Veranke arrived at Camp Hammond while the Avengers headed to New York only to find it burning. Down on the street a group of people wanted to welcome the Skrulls, but were caught between the battle between the Skrulls and Nick Fury and his troops. Kingpin and his syndicate of criminals decided to finally help out. Hulk made his presence known and met up with Deadpool. The Avengers, Nick Fury & his commandos, Kingpin's crew, Hulk, Deadpool and Copycat, and Norman Osborn and his carnies all assembled. Queen Veranke revealed that "He" was God, and it was an all out war between the Skrulls and the super-humans of Earth.
Despite the vast number of super-humans involved in the fight, briefly reunited under a single purpose again, the battle was still locked in a stand-still, until Uatu appeared, signaling that an event of cosmic relevance was unfolding, and the resolution of the obstacles was near. As Tony Stark was forced to retire from the battle because of damages received on his rebuilt armor, Daredevil and Silver Surfer took his place on the battlefield. The presence of Silver Surfer, claiming his victory in name of Ms Marvel and the Kree, was enough to give the assembled heroes back their resolve. The Punisher slayed several Super-Skrulls before hitting a clear shot on Queen Veranke.
Queen Veranke was revealed to be alive and as the heroes went to attack her, Norman Osborn blew her head off. This event was seen around the world. All super-humans with the power of flight took out what was left of the Skrull armada and Tony Stark, who had returned from Stark tower after donning his original Iron Man suit that he had first constructed many years ago after being captured by terrorists, found the ship containing the heroes and humans that had been replaced. It was later established that the Skrulls needed the original abductees alive because they were the original source material for the Skrulls genetic disguises. Iron Man rejoined Hulk and Deadpool, only to find that the deep-seeded resentment from previous conflicts was still inherent; the blame for the Invasion was placed squarely upon the shoulders of Tony Stark. A Skrull revealed to Daredevil that taking over the Earth was the last chance they had since all their planets had been destroyed. By order of the President, S.H.I.E.L.D. was shut down and anything included in S.H.I.E.L.D., including all Stark Tech, was replaced with Oscorp technologies. Meanwhile, the Skrull-Maria Hill disappeared with Franklin Richards, leaving Reed and Susan desperate. At the end of the film the Dark Illuminati group appears in charge, consisting of Norman Osborn, Doctor Doom, Loki, Emma Frost, Namor, and Wilson Fisk.
