What Marvel Cinematic Universe characters could really be Skrulls in disguise?
Photos from the Captain Marvel movie revealed that we will in fact see the alien shape-shifters known as the Skrulls. They’re patient, brutal, and also believe they have god on their side. All of this makes them a very determined species. Of all the aliens in the Marvel Universe, they’ve come the closest to taking over the planet. This happened during a time where they infiltrated almost every group on Earth and looked to make them a part of the Skrull Empire.
It ended up in a series called Secret Invasion. Characters like Melinda May of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or Claire Temple from the Netflix series are choices that the Skrulls could use to gain access to different parts of the superpower community. Here are the top five choices for the Skrulls to replace.
Sharon Carter
Sharon Carter is an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., skilled fighter, and has a close connection to the most trusted member of the Avengers; Steve Rogers. Sharon Carter hasn’t been around in a while, but that doesn’t mean that Steve doesn’t still have feelings for her that she could exploit. Her living next door to Rogers could have been a plan by the Skrulls.
Carter had access to his home and could have been reporting back to the Skrulls on everything from the kind of food he likes to his fighting styles. Even that kiss in Captain America: Civil War could have been a way to take Cap’s DNA.
Carter is a sleeper choice. She could have also infiltrated Hydra while she was working for S.H.I.E.L.D. The biggest thing the Skrulls look for are people who have connections in more than a few places. It would make sense that she would have been taken or created just for the Skrulls to use against the humans.
