monition : Contains potential spoilers forFantastic Four # 27 !

As theFantastic Fourseries stay tohighlight the next generation of Marvel ’s First Family , I ’m intrigued by how it could rock up the position of theSkrullsin the universe . The exotic coinage are still often portrayed as intergalactic threat , and although the shapeshifting Skrulls have produced other Marvel superheroes , it seems that the Thing ’s espouse daughter could help their status develop in the Marvel Universe .

In the preview forFantastic Four # 27 – written by Ryan North , with art by Steven Cummings – Nicki Masters - Grimm is tired of see anti - shapeshifter rhetoric and takes action to make a difference . With Reed , Sue , Johnny , and Ben groom forthe upcomingOne World Under Doomcrossover issue , I never anticipated the team ’s four kid having their own dangerous undertaking .

As the latest issue ofFantastic Fourofficially allow N’Kalla , aka Nicki Masters - Grimm , to direct her own comic risky venture , I’m expect onwards to the originative team further developing her character and her new mission as a Skrull advocate . N’Kalla and her Kree brother were introduced in 2020’sEmpyrecrossover effect , where they were adopted by the Thing and Alicia Masters after years representing their alien specie as child soldier in a bitter rivalry . Despite their challenging backstory , the Masters - Grimm kids have n’t made much of an impression on me since their debut , but I thinkFantastic Four#27 could change that .

There ’ve been a big act of Super - Skrulls introduced in Marvel Comics , but only a few base above the residual as the strongest . Here are the Top 10 !

The new proceeds ’s preview show up the discrimination Nicki experience as a Skrull at school , both in class and on the resort area , with shapeshifters being mostly portrayed as evil and threatening . When Nicki wants to show the world that being a Skrull does n’t make her a monster , I ’m in earnest rooting for her to examine everyone who think so untimely . Using her shapeshifting powers to helpher fellow children of the Fantastic Fourwith tasks like take age - inappropriate moving picture may not do the trick , but her heart is in the right place , and I ’m count forrader to seeing how her protagonism evolves .

A New Era For Marvel’s Perennial Alien Antagonists

Nicki and Jo - Venn were introduced duringEmpyre , which lastly saw the end to the warfare between the Kree and Skrulls , and it seems to me thattheiradopted sibling human relationship in the Fantastic Four familyis another important step forward for relations between both exotic species . The intergalactic engagement was the reference of many villainous Skrulls ’ vicious actions , and the end of the war has mostly seen the end of Skrull - found stories . However , as Nicki sets out to examine that her species does n’t make her a teras , I ’m ready to see her reinvigorate the Skrulls ’ standing in the Marvel Universe .

Secret Invasion is amount and heroes ca n’t trust anyone . Here is a look at the master heroes in the comics that Skrulls impersonated in the big state of war .

Since they debuted as villain right smart back in Lee and Kirby’sFantastic Four # 2 , and later on went on to start aSecret Invasionamong other diabolical plots , there have still been a few exciting Skrull characters that went on to become full - feather Marvel superheroes . Perhaps themost well - known is the Young Avenger , Hulkling , who became Emperor of the Kree and Skrull alliance duringEmpyre . I think that Nicki could be the first great Skrull hero in Marvel Comics since Hulkling , perhaps even outperform his popularity with her place as the Thing ’s girl and a member of the Fantastic Four family .

A Major MCU Blockbuster & Comic Crossover Event

The Fantastic Four will have a in use class forward , with an impending MCU debut and an intact crossover event revolve around their primary antagonist , Doctor Doom . While the mob necessitate over Marvel in 2025,I’d love it if Nicki and the remainder of the fry , include Jo - Venn , Franklin , and Valeria , were sport more prominently in their stories . Withthe Thing specifically jell to go through changesthat could totally alter the reference ’s Marvel trajectory , I think it would be really cool and interesting to see his Skrull daughter take on a more combat-ready purpose in their superhero adventures go forward .

Though I totally did n’t look the Fantastic Four to put a spotlight on Nicki Masters - Grimm in this way , I ’m worked up for her to shake up the Marvel Universe as a new hero represent the Skrulls .

The Nicki - centered story inFantastic Four#27 could change the dynamics of the team , their family , and be the biggest step ahead for Skrulls since the remnant of 2020’sEmpyre . As the untested girl and girl of lovable heroes take action to counteract the discrimination she faces as an alien shapeshifter , I call up her seeking to convert the metal money ’ condition quo could be seriously inspiring . Though I totally did n’t expect theFantastic Fourto put a spotlighton Nicki Masters - Grimm in this way , I ’m emotional for her to stir up the Marvel Universe as a young hero representing theSkrulls .
