Skrull

The Skrulls are a fictional extraterrestrial race in the Marvel Comics universe, first appearing in Fantastic Four #2. They are a race of green-skinned, humanoid shapeshifters from the Andromeda Galaxy, known for their aggression and cunning. Skrulls possess powerful shapeshifting abilities, allowing them to alter their appearance at will and infiltrate other civilizations. In comics, they have repeatedly attempted to invade Earth, clashing with heroes like the Avengers and the Fantastic Four. Their history is intertwined with the Kree Empire, with the long-standing Kree-Skrull War being a significant backdrop in the Marvel universe. Initially a mercantile civilization willing to share technology, conflict with the Kree forced them to become a militaristic society. They possess advanced technology, including interstellar travel, energy weapons, and shapeshifting technology. In addition to the main Skrull race, there are mutated offshoots, such as the Super-Skrulls with even more powerful abilities. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Skrulls were initially portrayed as antagonists but have become more complex, even cooperating with Earth heroes. Their story is a key part of the Marvel universe, exploring themes of identity, war, and racial conflict.
