Phase 5 Secretly Introduced A God-Tier Genius Villain Who Could Defeat The Avengers

Thanos might be dead in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Kang’s fate remains uncertain – however, the Phase 5 movie The Marvels offered a glimpse at a mighty foe who could truly overpower the Avengers. Continuing the events of Ms. Marvel, the 2023 superhero comedy-drama offered a deeper dive into the militaristic alien race known as Kree. Their arch nemeses, the shapeshifting aliens Skrulls were already given a sympathetic portrayal in Captain Marvel. These depictions become more nuanced in Secret Invasion, which also introduced rebel Skrulls on Earth. While the Secret Invasion villain Gravik posed a major threat, he still possessed superhuman strength intrinsic to all Skrulls.
