... a brainwashed sleeper agent for the Skrulls.
Not a Skrull, mind you, that would be too hard to rectify against current events.
However, I was flipping through the first 3 issues of New Avengers Illuminati and I can't help but notice a few things:
1.) In the first issue, the Skrulls point out that it would be fairly easy to map out his DNA. He's only a mutant, after all.
2.) Same issue. When Tony rescues Charles, the Prof seems to share a brief moment with one of his Skrull captors after suffering a psychic attack. At first glance it seems to come off as just a "Charles gets a little payback" moment, but it could be more. IIRC, the Skrull says "Nooooo..." and "Noooo...stop."
3.) Issue two. At the end, when each member receives an infinity gem, its Charles the "camera" decides to focus on. At first I thought this was forshadowing Chuck getting his powers back via the Mind Gem, but as we all know the M'Kraan crystal took care of that recently. If that be the case, why point out Charles as opposed to the other Illuminati?
4.) Issue three. Its Charles that brings together the Illuminati to confront the Beyonder, whom HE has determined is a mutant inhuman. Could this have been a ruse to place the Illuminati in danger?
5.) Same issue. Its mentioned not once, but TWICE that Blackbolt cannot remember the Beyonder's entry into the Terrigen Mists. There's a vague flashback, showing it— but it could easily be something else entirely. Could Chuck have removed the memory from Blackbolt's mind?
I hesitate to say the Professor is a Skrull. It's a.) been done before and b.) far to difficult to rectify with all the events that have happened to the professor since the Kree/Skrull War.
My thinking is that they intended to brainwash him into a Skrull agent using their gene-mapping and manipulation, but were interupted by Tony's rescue.
If thats the case, maybe Charles its totally himself most of the time (thus keeping his X-stories totally legit), but is occasionally "turned on" by the Skrulls whenever the need or want him. Certainly the fact that Charles knows the wherebouts of an infinity gem would be golden info for an invading Skrull Empire!
Thoughts? Am I drinking too much crazy?
