Think of every hero in the Marvel Universe, ever. During the crossover, a Super-Skrull seemed to turn up with it. Then, think of every team there is. A Super-Skrull with all its powers, combined turned up. There were many X-Men Super-Skrull combos, a Daredevil/Elektra/Bullseye combo in the Runaways/Young Avengers Secret Invasion book, and I think Captain Britain and MI:13 had a Midnight Sons one, as well as Dr. Strange/Mordo/Dormammu/Zom/etc. one.

Unfortunately, a lot of them were just cannon fodder. I recall a lot of intriguing combinations that would show up for one panel and then get killed. . BTW, does anyone know what happened to the original K'lrt, the original SuperSkrull. We know Lyja exiled herself to the Negative Zone but she never really manifested some of the multiple powers some of the others did. I wish they had used her differently and made her a leader of a counter-revolutionary group that was against the Queen. Heck, they could have made her the new Skrull Queen after Veranke's plan failed.

The only one you need to worr about now is just the original. The first and the best.

I remember seeing a Hyperion super skrull in Captain Britain and thinking, Hyperion is in another universe, and then wondering how they can even copy him.

The Skrulls could only duplicate superpowers up to a point. They could fake being Spider-Woman just fine, but their Black Bolt was a lot weaker than the real thing. So the super-Skrull with the powers of, say, Wolverine, Cyclops, Colossus, and Nightcrawler was pretty close. On the other hand, the Emma Frost/White Phoenix/whoever else super-Skrull from SI: INHUMANS was a very strong telepath, but less powerful than Jean in full-on Phoenix mode.

The scariest super-Skrull from SI was probably the magic one that Captain Britain fought in his crossover storyline. It was ostensibly a mix of Dormammu, Dr. Strange, and two other big-time magic users/demons (I think Zom and Satannish, but I'm not 100% on that). It probably wasn't technically as powerful as all four put together should really be, but it got a big power boost from the magic stuff it was stealing.

Number two was probably the Asgardian super-Skrull that Thor and Beta Ray Bill tangled about in SI: THOR. It was immensely strong, but most of that was stolen power from Bill's hammer rather than an actual duplication of powers.

For the rest of them, check out post #1 in this thread (http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?p=6812610) for a look at some of the super-Skrulls in SI #2. They're pretty much all team-themed.

The thing about the SI super-Skrulls is that, while they were powerful, they didn't really have the experience that the original Super-Skrull has or his knack for using his four power sets effectively in concert.

I hope there are a couple of Super Skrull Stragglers still around that maybe got away to space. It would be cool to have a couple of them left for the foreseeable future.

The Secret Invasion Super Skrulls were a complete waste of time.
