‘Secret Invasion’ insight suggests sorcerers have the key to stopping the Skrull infiltration

When Secret Invasion began, we knew we’d discover that the shapeshifting alien Skrulls had infiltrated the corridors of power. Even so, it was something of a surprise to learn that long before the first episode the aliens had already replaced most major world leaders and that there were secretly millions of them on Earth.

So far Gravik and his rebel Skrulls have been carefully manipulating events from behind the scenes, but this cover will inevitably get blown sooner or later. So, when the world realizes that their neighbor, co-worker, or even romantic partner might be a nefarious Skrull, what could they do?

One fan believes the smartest route would be to turn to magic, as this would reveal the Skrulls’ true forms rather than what they’re physically masquerading as:

This is… actually a pretty good idea. Skrulls don’t appear to have much knowledge of the mystic arts and it’d bypass most of their defenses. The only real downside, as pointed out in the comments, is that there’s only a handful of people on Earth with the skill to do this. Doctor Strange’s status is unknown (he’s presumably dealing with the whole third eye thing), Kamar-Taj is in ruins, and Mordo isn’t exactly inclined to play nice.

That leaves Wong, though a reply points out that the last time Wong delved into this kind of magic monsters poured through an interdimensional portal.

We suspect Secret Invasion won’t end with the Skrulls being defeated outright, especially as they’re not all out to destroy the human race. That said, Gravik’s rebels trying to harness Extremis doesn’t sound like it’ll end well. Here’s hoping they skipped Iron Man 3 in the MCU marathon watchthrough.
