Not all aliens are dangerous, there are some hostile and friendly aliens who support and protect the human race and the Earth along with Marvel Superheroes. Some aliens or Marvel’s supervillains like the Kree, and the Skrulls, not all but most are evil.
The Skrull race initially resembled Earth primates in some ways, but when the very strong Celestials experimented on the early Skrulls, they separated the species into immortal Eternals, genetically varied Deviants, and Latents with the potential for positive modification.
Origin, History, And Their Powers
An ancient race known as the Skrulls has characteristics in common with both reptiles and mammals. A race of genetic experimenters known as the Celestials visited the Skrulls’ planet, Skrullos, millions of years ago when they were still through evolution. They conducted experiments on the Skrulls and gave them the capacity for fast mutation or shape-shifting. This power came in handy when the Skrulls were engaged in a long war with the Kree, another ancient extraterrestrial race.
Skrulls have green skin, big sharp ears, and wrinkled chins in their natural state. They typically range in height from 4’6″ to 6’4″, however, they can, as said, change their height at will. They also live for more than two centuries on average.
Their bodies are filled with unstable chemicals, which give them the ability to change shape. With enough mental focus, they may assume any series of forms and return to their original shapes. Many Skrulls can’t adapt forms with sizes greater than 1.5 times or less than 75% of their initial mass.
A few Skrulls have, nevertheless, sufficiently developed their capacity to transform to very microscopic or enormous sizes. They appear to be able to change their respiratory systems, allowing them to live without help in all atmospheres other than space. Rarely, some Skrulls are born without the ability to change their shape.

The Skrulls were who used to be a peaceful species under the rule of Emperor Dorrek I that wanted to share their technology with other races including the Kree and the Cotati, some 10 million years ago. The Skrulls left the Kree and the Cotati for a year to see who can construct the most sophisticated city on Earth’s moon. When the Skrulls chose the Cotati, the Kree become enraged and murder Dorrek before attacking the Skrull homeworld. This violent action sets off the Kree-Skrull War, which lasts for decades and makes the Skrulls the victorious race.
The Skrulls And The Earthlings
The Fantastic Four came into war with the Skrulls on their initial visit to Earth. On that particular occasion, the Skrulls attempted to pose as the Fantastic Four and implicate them in order to have the People of Earth take down and eliminate the group, paving the way for a Skrull invasion. But, Reed Richards, a.k.a. Mister Fantastic, promptly destroyed that attempt.
The Kree-Skrull War was the Avengers’ first meeting with the Skrulls, but it wouldn’t be the last time they faced up against these crafty aliens. The Skrulls launched a massive “Secret Invasion” during their most serious conquest effort, employing genetically modified Skrulls with superhuman abilities. The Skrulls were destroyed, not completely though after finding them corrupting practically every part of the superhuman culture.
