After it was announced skrulls would be the villains in Captain Marvel, many fans wondered whether or not an event based on Secret Invasion would come up in the future. If so, which characters from the MCU would be secretly skrulls?
I have a few guesses
Hawkeye
Hawkeye really hasn't had much interesting stuff to do in the Avengers movies. The main issue is in my opinion he hasn't had a real story yet. He needs more to do, he needs an arc. Matt Fraction's Hawkeye run is a cool adaption, but Hawkeye has a family so it wouldn't work. Here is my idea on how it can. Imagine if one day, a man who looks exactly like Hawkeye arrives on Earth in an alien spaceship. We learn early in his career as a shield agent, before he had even met Natasha Romanoff, he was abducted by Skrulls. He's spent years in an alien gulag and has finally escaped. The Hawkeye we know is a Skrull, a Skrull with several half Skrull children and a wife. Skrull Hawkeye is revealed as a sleeper agent and disappears into hiding. Real Hawkeye doesn't k ow his wife and moves into an apartment. Secret invasion begins, Skrull Hawkeye eventually defects from the Skrull empire. We get fraction run Hawkeye and happy family Hawkeye, except maybe the Skrull is Ronin now.
Captain America
What if we don't just get a secret invasion adaption, what if we get an adaptation of both Secret Invasion, and Secret Empire? Except, instead of Hydra Cap being a cosmic cube changed Captain America, he's a Skrull? Could be very cool.
Sharon Carter
Just think about this for a second. Another character that like Hawkeye, is intergral to the MCU, but has had nothing done with her. A character who seems almost too perfect for Captain America. Relative of his first great love, a highly trained shield agent, obviously infatuated with Cap from that sudden kiss? Seems too perfect. Almost like a trap...
When you think for a minute, she's been everywhere hasn't she? She was in a position in shield that gets her close to the worlds heroes. Immediately after she was in the CIA, another group that gives her access to Earth's superhumans. Still not buying it? Well how. About. This!
The Winter Soldier, what was Sharon's role. Helping Cap dismantle Project Insight! A project that while it would have killed millions and left Earth a Nazi run dictatorship, seemed at least capable of possibly turning back an alien fleet...
Also, with Shield gone, no organization dedicated to protecting Esrth... besides the Avengers.
Well, what about Civil War? I don't recall her doing anything to set up a Skrull invasion there. WRONG! She did the one thing Skrulls needed to keep hidden, DESTROYED THE AVENGERS!
Sharon Carter, much like the Qween of the Skrulls, is a master minipulator! In Civil War, she first minipulates Cap by speaking at Peggy's funeral, giving advice that solidifies his turn against the Sokovia Accords. Then, she informs him where Bucky is hiding, further pushing Cap to break the law to save his friend. And after that, she returns Falcon and Cap's costumes and gear to them so they can fight the Avengers at the airport!
I wouldn't be suprised if she was helping Zemo. Isn't his plan just a little less convoluted with inside help?
There you have it, SHARON CARTER IS A SKR(BANG! Thud...)
