Skrulls

Okay, just for fun... who's a skrull?

Speculations are running high, as the Secret Invasion draws near...

So far, the answer to that question is Elektra, Black Bolt, The Revolutionary of the new Liberty Legion, and an unknown individual at Camp Hammond (whom Revolutionary reports to, and hints that there will be a skrull on all 50 of the Initiative teams...)

Judging from the Mighty Avengers #7, I' would to bet good money that Sentry's wife, Lindy, is indeed a skrull.

Why? Because it appeared that Ultron killed her - shortly thereafter Lindy is alive because Sentry brought her back to life? Okay...

Also, because she asks Tony to find a way to depower Sentry before he kills them all. Now why would Lindy do this? Sure Sentry is a unstable, but the real reason she says this is because Sentry is a huge roadblock in terms of skrulls establishing any sort of front. Plus didn't Sentry think Lindy was dead when he first appeared? We were warned that anyone with a mysterious resurrection could be a skrull (I hope Ronin (Hawkeye) isn't a skrull...).

As much as I hate Sentry, Marvel has made him uber-man, and he'll be crucial in whipping skrulls en masse. Also, in New Avengers #8 I believe, some of Sentry's old adventures are shown, and he is fighting a number of skrulls... coincidence? I think not!

Over at the Marvel Boards, people are coming up with some very interesting theories...

This post, for instance, talks of Silent War, where Black Bolt smiled at an inappropriate time, and also speculates that perhaps M-Day was the result of the skrulls.

Also, some people seem to think Dr. Strange and Spider-Woman are skrulls... this would make me sad, as I am a fan of them both.

Brian Michael Bendis has been working on this story, and setting it up since 2004... there are bound to be some huge shockers in the coming months.
