Marvel Ignored The Kill Switch Loophole That Would Fix The MCU’s Superpower Problem

Despite introducing the Super Skrulls to the MCU’s Phase 5, Secret Invasion failed to include the supervillain’s biggest weakness from Marvel Comics. The debut of the Super Skrulls in the MCU was teased throughout Secret Invasion, Samuel L. Jackson’s solo Disney+ series as Nick Fury that aired its finale on July 26, 2023. Early on, it was revealed that Gravik, the Skrull rebellion leader portrayed by Kingsley Ben-Adir, had enhanced himself with samples from Groot, Thor’s Frost Beast, Cull Obsidian, and Iron Man 3’s Extremis. Secret Invasion’s finale saw both Gravik and Emilia Clarke’s G’iah power-up as Super Skrulls, however, enhanced with the abilities of several notable MCU characters.
