This trope is explored by giving the Skrulls AdaptationalHeroism and showing them as wishing to avoid being this trope -- The only reason they're invading other worlds is because the Kree won't let them resettle on an uninhabited planet and are dogmatically pursuing them as part of a FinalSolution because the Skrulls refused to submit to Kree imperialism. The Skrulls are aware that they're a DyingRace and war is an incredibly stupid idea, but the Kree have forced them into a CorneredRattlesnake stance.

Merging this page with the Asgard was so most of the Thor characters are readable on one page. I talked about this in more detail in the Short Term project thread for the MCU.

A race of warlike shape-shifting aliens.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, the Skrulls were a race of ScaryDogmaticAliens who used their shapeshifting to invade planets and their war with the Kree was a case of EvilVersusEvil. In ''Captain Marvel'', the Skrulls (or at least the ones that we meet in the film) are refugees from a civilization shattered by brutal Kree imperialism.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: [[invoked]] The comics version of the Skrulls has them as an almost perpetually AlwaysChaoticEvil ReptilianConspiracy (as seen ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'' where they almost take over the Earth). In the [=MCU=], the Skrulls are a deeply tragic and sympathetic NotEvilJustMisunderstood WoobieSpecies of WarRefugees who openly acknowledge that they've done horrible things in their war with the Kree, but more than anything else just want a chance to live their lives far from Kree oppression. Heck, the [=MCU=] Skrulls even from an OddFriendship of sorts with humanity, helping out ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' and [[spoiler:having a personal connection to Monica Rambeau in ''Series/{{Wandavision}}'']].
* AlienBlood: Their blood is purple.
* AliensOfLondon: A few of the Skrulls (particularly Talos) speak with an Australian accent.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: They have green skin with thin stripes.
* AntiHero: As they point out, they're living through a hellish war. Those that fight have done some bad things, including occasional assassinations and hiding among civilians knowing their presence will lead to Kree bombings.
* ArchEnemy: Considering how the Kree had been conducting a genocide of them for at least six years until Captain Marvel performed a HeelFaceTurn and started helping them, it's not that surprising that the Skrulls absolutely hate the Kree.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The Skrulls are [[ObviouslyEvil creepy-looking]], shapeshifting [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent reptilian]] aliens who [[EvilWearsBlack dress in black]] and have the reputation of being vicious terrorists, but in reality, they are not evil. They are only refugees who wish to live in peace and are maligned by Kree propaganda.
* DecompositeCharacter: In the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel comics, it was heavily implied that the Chitauri were an offshoot or extremist faction of the Skrull race. In the MCU, the Chitauri are a completely distinct species and lack the ability to shapeshift like Skrulls, implying there is no common ancestry here.
* EarlyBirdCameo: They were actually established to exist in a prequel comic made for the first ''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2014}}'' movie, which had a brief scene showing somebody trying to sell a "Skrull detector" at a market Gamora was passing through.
* FightingForAHomeland: The Skrulls' motivation for standing against the Kree and searching for Lawson's energy core stems from want of a place where the Kree can't track and hunt them down
* GenderBender: Skrulls are capable of disguising themselves as species of the opposite sex, which they use to their advantage when they land on Earth to try and locate Carol Danvers. Talos briefly uses it to assume the form of a teenage girl on the beach, and Norex uses it to disguise himself as Maria Rambeau to lure Monica away from a potentially dangerous confrontation when Talos appears at the Rambeau household.
* GreenAndMean: All Skrulls have green skin and can be aggressive if provoked.
* HeroAntagonist: During the first act of ''Captain Marvel'', before they're revealed to be GoodAllAlong.
* InterspeciesFriendship: While their existence wasn't known to humans until the mid-90s (and wasn't public knowledge until the early 2020s at the least), it's implied that the relationship between humans and Skrulls is somewhat friendly in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', as Talos and Soren are capable of driving a car in their true forms without concern of being noticed. They also seem to work closely with humanity on government-related matters, as Nick Fury authorized Skrulls to impersonate S.H.I.E.L.D. and FBI agents on Earth (including ''himself''), and Skrulls are seen under his command at a S.W.O.R.D. space station.
* InvadingRefugees: [[invoked]] Deconstructed; This trope is explored by giving the Skrulls AdaptationalHeroism and showing them as wishing to avoid being this trope -- The only reason they're invading other worlds is because the Kree won't let them resettle on an uninhabited planet and are dogmatically pursuing them as part of a FinalSolution because the Skrulls refused to submit to Kree imperialism. The Skrulls are aware that they're a DyingRace and war is an incredibly stupid idea, but the Kree have forced them into a CorneredRattlesnake stance.
* MasterOfDisguise: They're a race of shapeshifting aliens that can take on the recent memories of those that they disguise as.
* NotOfThisEarth: A medical examination shows that they aren't carbon-based and are actually made from something not on the periodic table.
* OlderThanTheyLook: At their adulthood, they don't seem to age nearly as much as humans do. This is shown in [[spoiler:''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', where Talos and Soren look exactly as they did back in TheNineties, despite it being over ''three decades'' since we last saw them.]]
* PainfulTransformation: A Skrull's process of turning into another shape... doesn't exactly look like it tickles, as evidenced by how Talos and other Skrulls visibly cringe in pain whenever they do so.
* PointyEars: They have quite large, pointy ears.
* PurpleIsPowerful: The Skrulls are master shapeshifters who have an affinity for purple clothing.
* RememberTheNewGuy: They came into contact with Captain Marvel in [[TheNineties 1995]], but they are never seen or referenced again in-universe (outside the above-mentioned comic) until the events of ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', nearly thirty years later. Justified because they've been primarily just trying to hide from their Kree persecutors.
* ReptilianConspiracy: The Skrulls are a race of shapeshifting reptilian humanoids notorious for infiltrating other societies by replacing important individuals in order to manipulate them for their own ends. Unusually for this trope, they're neither malicious nor particularly dangerous for their host society, as their 'ends' are just to escape a brutal, genocidal empire and find a world/culture where they can live in peaceful secrecy.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: They have green skin in their natural state, and the entire species has an apparent fondness for purple. Subverted, because they are not the bad guys. The Kree are imperialist madmen, whereas the Skrulls just want to survive and find a home where they can live in peace.
* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: They don't simulate clothes on their own; rather, their clothing is generated by a device implanted on their bodies.
* SiliconBasedLife: A medical examiner studying a dead Skrull says that while Earth life is carbon-based, the Skrulls are something that isn't on the periodic table.
* SpaceJews: Played straight to the point of {{reconstruction}} when it comes to their backstory. They were unwilling to submit before a mighty empire out to conquer them. As punishment for their defiance, their ancestral home was destroyed, and their people were scattered wide and far, and are now looking for a new place to call home, all while they continue to be the regular victims of a genocidal campaign run by said empire.
* SpotTheImposter: While they have computers that copy the long-term memories of those they shapeshift into, they can only scan recent memories, leading to the Skrulls messing up when someone is probing the history of their current forms.
* SuperStrength: They're strong enough to handily beat a BadassNormal human but weak enough that said Badass Normal can still give them a decent fight. They seem to be on the lower end of [=MCU=] super-strength, about the same as Super Soldiers (Captain America excepted) or the Chitauri.
* ThisWasHisTrueForm: When a Skrull impersonating someone else dies, they revert back to their natural form.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Their chief ability is altering their bodies to disguise themselves as others, although Talos does mention that it takes practice and often a certain amount of talent to be able to do it well. They even possess the mannerisms of their adopted form to better sell the illusion.

A Skrull commander who leads an invasion on Earth in 1995.
----
* AccentRelapse: Talos switches between using an American accent when disguised as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and Creator/BenMendelsohn's native Australian accent when in his natural Skrull form. He even switches between the two to taunt Fury when fighting him.
* ActionDad: He's a Skrull general who also has a beloved daughter.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: During their unsteady truce, Monica and Fury ask Talos if he can change into a cat, a file cabinet, or a Venus flytrap. Fury jokes that he'll give Talos fifty dollars to turn into a Venus flytrap. Talos despite himself looks amused.
* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: In the comics, Talos had to live with the stigma of being a mutant who did not have the signature Skrull ability to shapeshift, until he learned that the mutation also granted him strength far superior to any Skrull and on par with any of the Super-Skrulls, which enabled him to become a fearsome warrior until a disgraceful defeat, though he redeemed himself in the eyes of his peers by fighting Hulk. Since he has the power of shapeshifting here, he is suffering from none of that. At least not at first.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Lacks the Skrulls' traditional VoluntaryShapeshifting powers in the comics, but has them in the MCU. This is likely because Creator/MarvelStudios knew that audiences would find it confusing at best and infuriating at worst to have a member of a shapeshifting species lack those abilities himself.
* AFatherToHisMen: Talos is shown to truly care about the Skrulls under his command, to the point that he pays his respects to one of his fallen soldiers while disguised as the S.H.I.E.L.D. director at the risk of blowing his cover.
* AffablyEvil: He's polite, AFatherToHisMen, occasionally cracks jokes with his fellow Skrulls, and even breaks character as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to give one of his soldiers in an autopsy chamber [[DueToTheDead last rites]]. {{Subverted|trope}}, in that he really isn't even evil.
* AlienArtsAreAppreciated: He's a fan of Creator/WilliamShakespeare, if his quoting of ''Theatre/HenryIV'' is of any indication.
* AntiHero: Despite being GoodAllAlong, he readily admits that he has done plenty of underhanded things in pursuit of his goals.
* AwesomeAussie: He has his actor's natural Australian accent and is GoodAllAlong.
* BadassLongcoat: He's the leader of the Skrulls who make their way onto Earth in ''Captain Marvel'', and he's dressed in a long coat that the other Skrulls don't have.
* BattleCouple: His wife Soren is a badass fighter in her own right, and they get some moments to shine together [[spoiler:in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' while undercover as Nick Fury and Maria Hill.]]
* BodyDouble: [[spoiler:In ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', he spends the whole movie impersonating Nick Fury on the latter's orders while he is off on some other business.]]
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: When Vers frees herself aboard the Skrull ship, Talos prevents his men from just shooting her, as they need the information buried in her subconscious.
* CastingGag: This is not the first time Ben Mendelsohn plays [[Film/RogueOne a character who gets involved in activities that take place in outer space]].
* CelebrityParadox ''[[Franchise/StarWars Star Wars]]'' exists in the MCU, and Talos's actor plays Orson Krennic in ''Film/RogueOne''.
* CharacterTics: He's got his own spin on the FacePalm where his eyes widen and he shakes his head "no." He uses this to express dry disappointment towards Norex, and later when they're flying towards Mar-Vell's ship.
* CynicalMentor: [[spoiler:To Peter Parker in ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', largely because Talos is reluctant to admit that he's in over his head and is trying to do what Nick Fury would do in a situation like this. Still, he makes some good points for the lessons Peter needs to learn about the full extent of his power and responsibilities.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: As characters in the MCU tend to be. At the Rambeau household, after Carol treats Maria's neighbor as if he were Talos in disguise, the real Talos is behind them and chides her: "You should be kinder to your neighbors. Never know when you'll need a cup of sugar." He then waves his arms, remarking that Carol should put her "jazz hands" away so they can talk because he doesn't want to fight.
* DeepCoverAgent: [[spoiler:A variant. He's sent alongside his wife Soren to impersonate Maria Hill and Nick Fury respectively in order to keep an eye on Spider-Man and deal with some immediate threats on Earth while the real deals were elsewhere.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Is the antagonist of the first two acts of ''Captain Marvel'' -- before it's revealed he's actually a good guy.
* DueToTheDead: Talos finds a fallen comrade who is [[AlienAutopsy lying on autopsy table]] being studied by S.H.I.E.L.D. He takes a moment to whisper a prayer.
* EndearinglyDorky: While he can be very dangerous and ruthless when he needs to be -- and he needs to be ''often'' given his enemies are the [[AbsoluteXenophobe Kree]] -- underneath it all he's infectiously likable and jovial if you're on his good side. And while some aspects of Earth customs are lost on him, to others he adapts surprisingly quickly (he doesn't know where a human ass is located, but knows all about borrowing sugar from neighbors). And then there's the blazer he wears over his Skrull uniform (likely taken from the real Director Keller), [[RuleOfCool just because it looks stylin']]. [[spoiler:In the post-credits for ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', he's too embarrassed to admit to Nick Fury he was suckered by Mysterio despite his wife's urging to report to Nick about the danger on Earth.]]
* EnemyEatsYourLunch: When he infiltrates the Rambeau household, Talos helps himself to one of their soft drinks, slurping away on the straw when he announces his presence. [[spoiler:Though, as plot developments moments later reveal, he's not the ''true'' enemy, and is actually an ally.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: Has a deep, ominous voice with an especially Australian accent.
* FakeAmerican: InUniverse. Talos disguises himself as an American S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, who is also played by Ben Mendelsohn but with an American accent. He drops the fake American accent when his cover's blown.
* FireForgedFriends: With Carol and Maria, but Nick Fury especially. Talos didn't get along with them at all, and they worked with each other in TeethClenchedTeamwork, but Fury eventually regards him as a close ally and even trusts him enough to [[spoiler:act as his BodyDouble in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''.]]
* FrontlineGeneral: He is in the field with the other Skrulls and takes point when negotiating.
* GoodAllAlong: Talos was never a bad guy, but he doesn't deny that he's done terrible things in his life, because he just wanted to find the remnants of his people who were given safe haven by Mar-Vell.
* GeneralRipper: At first, he was the ruthless general of the Skrull refugees who has committed various war crimes to keep his people safe from the Kree Empire. He does later decide to enter an EnemyMine with Carol by attempting diplomacy to know where Mar-Vell's lab is in order to keep his people safe, softening up his ruthlessness in the process.
* GoodParents: After he helped Carol recover her memories, they go to Mar-Vell's Imperial cruiser ship not only to get the Tesseract but to reunite with his wife and daughter who are hiding there.
* GunStruggle: When Nick Fury tries to hide from S.H.I.E.L.D. in the military facility, Talos eventually finds him and points a gun at his head, but Fury quickly grabs it, and the two fight over it. Fury manages to get it and attempts to shoot Talos with it, only to realize that the ammo was pulled out during the brawl.
* HappilyMarried: He and Soren are devoted to one another. [[spoiler:Twenty-nine years later in ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', they're still very happy together, even if they do have their moments of standard old married couple bickering.]]
* HeadbuttOfLove: He does this with his wife and daughter when they reunite after having been separated for six years.
* HeroAntagonist: During the first two acts of ''Captain Marvel''. After it's revealed that the Skrulls are not evil terrorists and just want someplace to live in peace, Talos plays the {{Tritagonist}}.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Kree propaganda publicizes him as a vicious terrorist who invades and takes over other planets. All he wanted is to protect his family and find a new home for his people, even if he did a lot bad things to do so.
* HesAFriend: When Soren sees Carol Danvers at Mar-Vell’s laboratory and freaks out due to her wearing a Kree Uniform, Talos reassures her by saying this.
-->'''Talos:''' It's okay, it's okay. She's alright. She's a friend.
* HumanDisguise: [[spoiler:He's actually playing the role of Nick Fury in ''Spiderman: Far From Home''.]]
* IHaveYourWife: Implied when Talos meets with Carol, Maria and Fury. He then draws their attention to Norex impersonating Maria, who's standing with her daughter.
* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: He spends a portion of ''Captain Marvel'' impersonating Keller, Fury's boss at S.H.I.E.L.D. [[spoiler:He then spends all of ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'' impersonating Fury at Fury's request]].
* ImposterForgotOneDetail: Talos is able to fool Nick Fury into believing he's actually his boss when he takes on the disguise in ''Film/CaptainMarvel''...except for when he calls him Nicholas at one point in the elevator. At that point, Fury immediately becomes suspicious of his identity, since he goes by a LastNameBasis, and gets Talos to further incriminate himself with a test question that he fails.
* ImpliedDeathThreat: [[spoiler:Though he's certainly not talking seriously, after being interrupted several times by some of Peter's entourage while giving information about the Elementals, Talos (disguised as Nick Fury) warns him that the next time it happens, Peter and him are "going to attend another funeral".]]
* ItHasOnlyJustBegun: After they find his family and the other Skrull refugees in Mar-Vell's lab, Talos lets Carol know that their mission is far from over, as there are many other Skrulls out there who need their help.
-->'''Talos:''' This is just the beginning. There's thousands of us separated from each other... scattered throughout the galaxy.
* LickedByTheDog: During the final battle, Talos disguises himself as one of the Kree guards who arrest Fury and Maria. However, Goose recognizes him and comes to rub against his legs, as an early hint of his true identity.
* MasterActor: He is very skilled at impersonating others, the trait not every member of his shapeshifting species possesses equally. [[spoiler:When he takes up the role of impersonating Nick Fury in ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', he mimicks his personality and mannerisms so well that everyone he meets is fooled, in spite of lacking the real Fury's notorious paranoia.]]
* MarqueeAlterEgo: Talos spends portions of ''Captain Marvel'' in human form, as seen in his S.H.I.E.L.D. agent disguise. This is not only done to showcase the Skrulls' shapeshifting ability but also to give Creator/BenMendelsohn an excuse to get out of his Skrull costume and show his actual face... [[IdenticalStranger Which conveniently happens to look just like a S.H.I.E.L.D. director in 1995.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Mysterio's final con of outing Peter Parker as Spider-Man and blaming for the drone attacks probably would not be as damaging to Peter if Fury had issued a report on the subject which would have blamed Mysterio officially. Given that Talos was impersonating Fury, this makes it more of his fault, especially since Peter is unable to use him to clear himself of federal charges.]]
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: [[spoiler:During the Elemental Fusion attack in London, Quentin Beck tells Talos (disguised as Nick Fury) that he should go to safety, but Talos, who has been warned that Beck is an impostor, declines on the grounds that he doesn't want to abandon his men.]]
-->'''Talos:''' I appreciate your concern, but I never leave my men behind.
* NotHelpingYourCase: As pointed out by Carol, Talos only wants to reunite with his family and needs her help to find them, but he made a pretty bad first impression on her by kidnapping her, investigating her mind, and attempting to kill her several times, instead of simply trying to talk to her, as he eventually does.
* NotMeThisTime:
** Due to their reputation as terrorists, Vers assumes that the Skrulls are responsible for the ravages in the planet Torfa. However, Talos later reveals to her that it was the Kree Accusers' doing.
** When Maria's neighbor Tom comes knocking on her door to ask about the Quadjet parked on the road, Carol suspects him to be Talos in disguise and treats him with hostility. Turns out he was just a nosy neighbor, and the real Talos is already inside the house.
* NotQuiteDead: Near the end of ''Captain Marvel'', Talos is shot in the back by Yon-Rogg as he escapes with his family and new allies. He lies on his back and calls his daughter closer for comfort. Talos doesn't bite it.
* ObviouslyNotFine: Just after Talos is shot in the back by Yon-Rogg, Fury comes to see his wound and asks him if he's okay. Despite clearly being badly injured and unable to get up, Talos answers this:
-->'''Talos:''' Never... better.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Shortly after crashing on Earth, Talos managed to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D., get to the director Keller and incapacitate him, then tie him up and take his place, allowing him to get information about what he is looking for and send agents after his enemy Vers. How he was able to do all this without being detected is not clear, as it entirely happened off-screen.
* PapaWolf: He is willing to do anything to protect his family. He outright states that his hands are dirty from the war.
* PurelyAestheticGlasses: He wears a set of glasses while impersonating Keller, outright admitting he doesn't really need them but likes how they compliment his appearance.
* PrecisionFStrike: [[spoiler:He was willing to give [[EvilAllAlong Mysterio]] the benefit of the doubt, but watching the supposed Elementals spontaneously fuse into one monster makes him call the situation "bullshit."]]
* RapidFireInterrupting: [[spoiler:In ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', Talos (disguised as Nick Fury) goes to Peter Parker's hotel room and attempts to explain what is going on with the Elementals, but he keeps getting interrupted by a series of people out in the hallway.]]
-->'''Talos:''' Another person touches that door, you and I are going to attend another funeral.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: He has no relation to Carol Danvers in the comics. He debuted as an AntiVillain in the Peter David era of Hulk comics and was an uneasy ally to Nova and Ronan in Annihilation. The closest he comes to being associated with the name Captain Marvel or Carol Danvers would be during his appearance in Howard the Duck's comic as a villain, during which he came into conflict with an Avengers team which included Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan, who respectively had carried Carol's titles of Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel. However, Monica was known as Captain Marvel before Carol was, and was going by the name Spectrum when fighting Talos, and Kamala has only superficial relations to Carol other than the fact that she is a LegacyCharacter and an AscendedFanboy of Carol.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: After assuming the appearance of a Kree soldier, Talos makes Fury aware of his identity by mentioning "[[MeaningfulEcho Just go with it... like Havana.]]"
* TakeAMomentToCatchYourDeath: Subverted. When Talos and his family have reached the Quadjet and are about to escape from the Kree, Talos gets shot by Yon-Rogg right as the door is closing. Fortunately, he ultimately survives his wounds.
* TakeMeInstead: As Yon-Rogg arrives to round up (if not even exterminate) the Skrulls cowering in fear, Talos steps forward and defends them.
-->'''Talos:''' You can see they're not soldiers, let them go! You can have me.
* TranquillizerDart: [[spoiler:When he goes to Peter Parker's hotel room to recruit him, Talos (disguised as Nick Fury) shoots a tranquilizer dart at Ned Leeds' neck, knocking him out before he even hits the ground. Believing to have been shot by the real Nick Fury, Ned is surprisingly okay with this experience.]]
* TrespassingToTalk:
** In ''Film/CaptainMarvel2019'', Talos sneaks into the Rambeau household and steals a soft drink before revealing his presence to Maria, Carol and Fury and asking them for help in decoding the coordinates of Mar-Vell's lab.
** [[spoiler:Old habits die hard apparently, as Talos does this yet again in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''. Peter Parker unexpectedly finds him (disguised as Nick Fury) waiting for him in his hotel room in Venice to recruit him on the Elemental case.]]
* {{Tritagonist}}: He's this to Carol's TheProtagonist and Nick's {{Deuteragonist}} in Carol's solo movie.
* VocalDissonance: While taking the form of a surfer girl, Talos talks to his allies in his usual guttural voice.
* WalkingSpoiler:
** In ''Captain Marvel'', he's not the BigBad at all, but a victim of the Kree's genocidal campaigns, and he just wants to be safe with his family again.
** [[spoiler:In ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', the fact that he's impersonating Nick Fury while the real Fury is in space is a surprise plot twist.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He's willing to have one of his men [[WouldHurtAChild target Monica]] as a way of making sure that he can speak with Maria, Nick Fury, and Carol Danvers. While he doesn't turn out to be evil, and even insists that he would never have actually ordered Monica to be hurt, this does go to show that he's capable of being ruthless. Later, after he's reunited with his family and Carol apologizes to his people, promising that she will no longer take part in an unjust war against the Skrulls, Talos admits that for all his noble intentions, he's no saint, either.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He is absolutely ''terrified'' of Flerkens, which is something Carol and Fury use to their advantage to keep him in line during their shaky alliance. As later shown, his fear is very much justified.
* YouAreNotReady: [[spoiler:He considers that someone as young and inexperienced as Peter Parker is not ready to receive Stark's E.D.I.T.H. glasses, and doesn't hesitate to tell him so to his face after he accidentally sent a drone after Brad Davis.]]
-->'''Talos:''' It's clear to me that you were not ready for this!

!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}''
Talos's second-in-command and appointed "Science Guy".
----
* AllThereInTheScript: His name is never used during the film and is only revealed in the credits.
* BuildingIsWelding: When he spends the night making modifications to the Quadjet so that it can travel in space, he is mostly shown welding stuff.
* DecoyGetaway: After Yon-Rogg arrives on Earth, Norex stays behind to lure him away from his friends, impersonating Carol so the others can reach Mar-Vell's lab unimpeded.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Even after being shot by Yon-Rogg, he refuses to reveal where Vers is and simply tells him that he is too late.
* DyingSmirk: After receiving a fatal wound from Yon-Rogg, he taunts Yon-Rogg that he is too late with a smile on his face.
* EpicFail: Even with the advanced alien technology at their fingertips, Norex somehow failed to figure out that the hiding place of the Skrull refugees wasn't on Earth itself, much to Talos's exasperation.
* EvilGenius: Talos's resident scientist among the few Skrull characters. This is inverted after TheReveal that the Skrulls are the good guys, after which he becomes TheSmartGuy.
* GadgeteerGenius: He's good enough to modify a Quadjet to make it capable of flying in space in just one night, including adding an ArtificialGravity switch to the cockpit.
* HeroicSacrifice: He remains behind on Earth posing as Carol in order to delay and distract Yon-Rogg and Starforce while the real Carol and co. search for Mar-Vell's lab, which costs him his life when his cover is blown.
* ImpostorForgotOneDetail: Carol told him her code and some information so that he could convincingly pose as her to Yon-Rogg. Unfortunately, she forgot to tell him which Kree gave her his blood. When Yon-Rogg asks him about it, Norex is unable to answer, which blows his cover.
* MauveShirt: The only other Skrull character besides Talos who has some kind of role at least until Mar-Vell's lab is found, he gets a couple of gags to himself, and stays behind on Earth to keep Yon-Rogg busy at the cost of his life.
* NerdyNasalness: He's the "science guy" and speaks with a nasal voice that other voiced Skrulls don't possess.
* NotSoStoic: While Norex is fairly serious for the most part, he can't help but apologetically shrug when Talos berates him for failing to realize that the hiding place of their fellow Skrulls was in Earth's orbit, rather than on the planet itself.
* NumberTwo: He seems to be Talos's second-in-command.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He is never called by name during the film and is only referred to as "the science guy".
* WouldHurtAChild: When Talos corners the MainCharacters at Maria's house, he has Norex shapeshift into Maria and lead Monica away from them as an unknowing hostage so they would stand down under threat of what would happen to her. Though after Talos reveals his true intentions to them, he makes it clear this was a bluff and it's implied with Norex's position as the comic relief that he wouldn't have gone through with it.
* YouAreTooLate: His last words are saying to Yon-Rogg that he is too late to stop his allies.
-->'''Yon-Rogg:''' What have you done with her?\\
'''Norex:''' You're too late.

One of Talos's enforcers who crashed on Earth alongside him.
----
* CeilingSmash: During the subway fight, he gets slammed into the ceiling of the train car by Vers.
* ColdSniper: Among the four Skrulls who crashed on Earth, he seems to be the sniper of the group, as seen when he uses some kind of Skrull sniper rifle to try to shoot Vers from a rooftop while she is surrounded by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. He is also much less talkative and more aggressive than his companions.
* HarmlessElectrocution: He receives an electric shock when he touches an antenna on the top of the train and is knocked backward, but he quickly gets back on his feet.
* HarmlessLadyDisguise: In an attempt to hide from Vers on the train, he assumes the appearance of an innocent old woman that he has just bumped into. When Vers notices that something's off with this old lady, the Skrull tries to act his role by making a friendly smile, but she's not fooled and punches him in the face. On the other hand, the passengers of the train really think that he's a poor granny being assaulted and try to stop Vers.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: After failing to shoot Vers from a roof, he decides to run away. She chases him into a nearby train where they have a fight, but he escapes her at the first opportunity.
* NeverMessWithGranny: He maintains his old woman appearance when he fights Vers on the train and does all kinds of fancy stunts.
* NoNameGiven: His name is not known, he is only called "Skrull Spy" in the credits.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He doesn't stay in the film for very long, but Carol retrieving his crystal containing the information from her memory that he dropped on the train is what eventually leads her to discover the truth about her past.
* TraintopBattle: Has a fight with Vers on top of a moving [[UsefulNotes/LosAngelesMetroRail LA Metro Rail]] Blue line train.
* TheVoiceless: He doesn't have a single line of dialogue.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: He pretty much disappears from the film after escaping from Vers at the train station, and isn't even mentioned afterward.

One of Talos's enforcers who crashed on Earth alongside him.
----
* AlienAutopsy: After his death, his corpse is taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody to be examined. Upon performing the autopsy, the coroner discovers that the Skrull's body is not composed of carbon.
* ChokeHolds: During his brawl with Nick Fury inside the car, the Skrull eventually grabs his opponent's neck and starts choking him. Before passing out, Fury manages to crash the car, killing the Skrull right away.
* ExoticEquipment: Implied. After an autopsy is performed on his corpse, Fury and his boss lift the sheet to glance at what lies down below, and they look at each other. Fury then walks away awkwardly.
* GunStruggle: When Nick Fury realizes that the person sitting next to him is not the real Phil Coulson, the Skrull draws a gun on him but Fury grabs his hand, and the two fight over it until their car crashes, killing the Skrull.
* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: He tries to impersonate Agent Phil Coulson in order to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D., though he is quickly exposed.
* MythologyGag: His autopsy scene brings to mind the comic ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', which also featured an AlienAutopsy of a Skrull, as proof of an alien infiltration (in that comic, it meant that they could now infiltrate with higher ease than before, in the film it's the proof of their existence). And, also like in the comic, one of the people overseeing the autopsy is also a Skrull in disguise.
* NoNameGiven: His name is not known, he is only called "Skrull Spy 2" in the credits.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in two scenes before being killed, but his death is what makes Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. realize that aliens really exist and that Vers was telling the truth.
* ThisWasHisTrueForm: After being killed in the car crash while disguised as Coulson, his corpse reverts back to his alien appearance. Fury freaks out when he sees it and puts his coat over it to hide it.
* VillainousFriendship: Talos is shown to be saddened by his death and even calls him "my friend" when he wishes him a safe journey to the afterlife. Subverted, as it's later revealed that the Skrulls aren't actually evil.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He gets little dialogue, screen time, or development before he's killed in a car crash caused by Nick Fury.

----
* GunStruggle: When he realizes that Minn-Erva has figured out who he really is, he promptly draws a gun on her but she grabs it and manages to pull it out of his hands.
* NoNameGiven: His real name is unknown.
* ThisWasHisTrueForm: After being gunned down by Minn-Erva, his corpse reverts to its original appearance, confirming that the people on Torfa are Skrulls in disguise.
* TooDumbToLive: Even though he managed to approach Minn-Erva without her noticing him, rather than killing her by surprise right away, he chooses to pose as Att-Lass, have a little chat with her, and wait until she has realized his imposture to actually attack her. This results in his death.
* TorsoWithAView: Minn-Erva blows a huge hole in his chest by shooting him with her laser rifle.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He's a very minor character who isn't even named and appears for less than thirty seconds before he gets shot to death.

The other Skrulls under Talos's command.
----
* EscapePod: When Vers causes too much damage during her escape, several Skrulls evacuate their exploding spaceship and travel to Earth through small ships that eject from it. One of them gets his stolen by Vers before he can escape.
* GiantMook: Shortly after taking out a large horde of standard Skrull soldiers in Talos's spaceship, Vers comes face to face with a Skrull who is at least one head taller than the others. This huge Skrull is hardly affected by her blows and easily manages to knock her down, but she eventually frees herself from her shackles and uses her photon blasts to get rid of him.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: When Carol breaks free of the mind-reading machine and starts interrogating Talos, some Skrull soldiers arrive to stop her so she throws Talos at them, knocking them down.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: During the fight in the spaceship, one of the Skrulls knocked down by Vers falls on his own electric baton and gets shocked.
* InTheBack: On Torfa, one of the Skrulls disguised as a Torfan suddenly draws a gun at Yon-Rogg, but he is shot from behind by [[ColdSniper Minn-Erva]] before he can fire.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: During her escape in Talos's spaceship, Vers enters a room where two Skrulls are watching some scenes from her memories. On seeing her, the two don't even try to fight and immediately raise their arms in surrender.
* {{Mooks}}: They serve as Talos's army of henchmen who get killed in droves by Vers and the other Starforce members. However, it eventually turns out that they are not as bad as they look.
* MythologyGag: Some of the Skrull technicians in Talos's ship are noticeably shorter, with bigger eyes and less human-like features than the regular Skrulls, resembling the Skrulls' look in their [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrull#/media/File:Fantastic_Four_2.jpg very first appearance in the comics]].
* NoSell: The GiantMook encountered by Vers in Talos ship hardly reacts to her punches to his stomach and head.
* OhCrap: The Skrull technician who was tapping Vers' forehead has this reaction when he notices that her restraints are heating up and realizes she's about to break free.
-->'''Skrull Technician:''' Uh oh...
* OneHitPolykill: During the battle on Torfa, Minn-Erva uses special projectiles that can change their trajectory to kill several Skrulls in one shot.
* PercussiveMaintenance: After capturing Vers, one of the Skrulls starts tapping on her forehead as they are watching her memories. Talos even tells him "that did something, do it again", like they're working with a glitchy old television.
* RoarBeforeBeating: On Torfa, most of the Skrulls let out a loud war cry before charging into battle against the Starforce.
* ScreamingWarrior: They are often growling during their fights. At one point, one of them growls at Vers after punching her, and she responds by growling back at him.
* ShockStick: The Skrull soldiers use some sort of cylindrical clubs that can emit electrical discharges. They're powerful enough to harm Carol Danvers herself.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock: By using her photon blasts to break free of her shackles, Vers accidentally blows a large hole through the hull of Talos's ship, causing a large number of Skrulls to be sucked out into space.
* WouldHitAGirl: The Skrull soldiers show no hesitation in fighting against female enemies, such as Vers or Minn-Erva.

The wife of Talos, who was been hidden aboard Mar-Vell’s orbiting laboratory cruiser in TheNineties alongside their daughter.
----
* ActionGirl: [[spoiler:Despite not being the real Maria Hill, Soren proves that she definitely has her field training narrowed down, as she's capable of using a rocket launcher to destroy several of Mysterio's drones to protect Talos.]]
* ActionMom: She is the mother of Talos's daughter and can fight alongside her husband.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: In the opening scene of ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', she expresses disbelief when she's told that some people in Mexico claim to have seen a cyclone with a face, and thinks it was probably a mass hallucination caused by fear. This is coming from a shapeshifting alien who regularly hangs out with superheroes.
* BattleCouple: Soren is a badass fighter in her own right, and she and Talos fight alongside each other [[spoiler:throughout ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'' while undercover as Maria Hill and Nick Fury.]]

* CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: On Talos's request, she covers their daughter's eyes when he is about to kill some Kree guards during the battle in Mar-Vell's laboratory.
* DeepCoverAgent: [[spoiler:A variant. She's sent alongside her husband Talos to impersonate Maria Hill and Nick Fury respectively in order to keep an eye on Spider-Man and deal with some immediate threats on Earth while the real deals were elsewhere.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** While she understands why he did it, Soren thought Talos went a little too far taking out the then-director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and assuming his form, pointing out that he basically stole his identity.
** [[spoiler:In TheStinger for ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', she's also unimpressed with Talos trying to justify being completely bamboozled by Mysterio's lies and illusions, and forces him to contact Nick Fury to admit to his mistakes.]]
* HappilyMarried: She and Talos are nothing if supportive and loving of each other, even in the direst of circumstances. [[spoiler:Twenty-nine years later in ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', they're still very happy together, even if they do have their moments of standard old married couple bickering.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: While eating dinner at the Rambeau household, Soren lightly criticizes her husband for committing identity theft by assuming the form of Nick Fury's boss. [[spoiler:She does the exact same thing with Maria Hill nearly 30 years later. Of course, while Talos takes Keller's form without his consent, it's implied that Hill allowed Soren to take hers.]]
* MamaBear: She has kept her daughter safe and hidden from the Kree for several years and is willing to protect her from any potential threat.
* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'', Soren was shown hiding amongst her daughter and fellow Skrulls, without any indication that she had any espionage or combat skills. Fast-forward to ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', [[spoiler:where she not only convincingly portrays Maria Hill but is shown to be a damn good fighter who can destroy remotely controlled attack drones with a rocket launcher.]]

-->'''Soren:''' Nick, this was a tragedy, but it's not why we're here.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She won't let anyone or anything hurt her husband Talos. [[spoiler:When Mysterio sends a drone to assassinate Talos (disguised as Nick Fury), Soren ''pulls out a rocket launcher'' and blasts the drone to smithereens!]]
* WalkingSpoiler:
** In ''Captain Marvel'', Soren and her daughters' existence is what proves to Carol, Fury, and Maria that the Skrulls are desperate refugees instead of brutal terrorists.
** [[spoiler:Soren's presence in ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'' at all is a pretty big spoiler, showing that S.H.I.E.L.D. authorizes Skrulls to impersonate their own agents.]]
* WomenAreWiser: Well, Soren is wiser than her husband. [[spoiler:In ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', she points out that they are basically kidnapping Peter Parker, has no qualms about hurting Talos's pride when he claims he was always suspicious of Mysterio, calls him out for letting the situation get so far out of hand, and gets him to call the real Nick Fury about this mess.]]

When Carol and her allies make it clear that they come in peace, Talos's daughter shows off the high scores she earned on ''Space Invaders'' while hiding out on the satellite.

* InnocentBystander: As pointed out by Talos, they are innocent people who don't have any fighting skills. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop the Kree from trying to wipe them all out.
* SoleEntertainmentOption: During the years they spent in Mar-Vell's lab isolated from everything, it seems that their only form of entertainment was an antique pinball machine.

!!''The Skrulls''
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mcu_skrulls.png]]
!!!'''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'' | ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' | ''Series/WandaVision'' | ''[[Series/Loki2021 Loki]]'' | ''[[WesternAnimation/WhatIf2021 What If...?]]'' | ''[[Series/SecretInvasion2023 Secret Invasion]]'' | ''WesternAnimation/MarvelZombies''
A race of warlike shape-shifting aliens.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, the Skrulls were a race of ScaryDogmaticAliens who used their shapeshifting to invade planets and their war with the Kree was a case of EvilVersusEvil. In ''Captain Marvel'', the Skrulls (or at least the ones that we meet in the film) are refugees from a civilization shattered by brutal Kree imperialism.
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: [[invoked]] The comics version of the Skrulls has them as an almost perpetually AlwaysChaoticEvil ReptilianConspiracy (as seen ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'' where they almost take over the Earth). In the [=MCU=], the Skrulls are a deeply tragic and sympathetic NotEvilJustMisunderstood WoobieSpecies of WarRefugees who openly acknowledge that they've done horrible things in their war with the Kree, but more than anything else just want a chance to live their lives far from Kree oppression. Heck, the [=MCU=] Skrulls even from an OddFriendship of sorts with humanity, helping out ComicBook/{{SHIELD}} in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' and [[spoiler:having a personal connection to Monica Rambeau in ''Series/{{Wandavision}}'']].
* AlienBlood: Their blood is purple.
* AliensOfLondon: A few of the Skrulls (particularly Talos) speak with an Australian accent.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: They have green skin with thin stripes.
* AntiHero: As they point out, they're living through a hellish war. Those that fight have done some bad things, including occasional assassinations and hiding among civilians knowing their presence will lead to Kree bombings.
* ArchEnemy: Considering how the Kree had been conducting a genocide of them for at least six years until Captain Marvel performed a HeelFaceTurn and started helping them, it's not that surprising that the Skrulls absolutely hate the Kree.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The Skrulls are [[ObviouslyEvil creepy-looking]], shapeshifting [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent reptilian]] aliens who [[EvilWearsBlack dress in black]] and have the reputation of being vicious terrorists, but in reality, they are not evil. They are only refugees who wish to live in peace and are maligned by Kree propaganda.
* DecompositeCharacter: In the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel comics, it was heavily implied that the Chitauri were an offshoot or extremist faction of the Skrull race. In the MCU, the Chitauri are a completely distinct species and lack the ability to shapeshift like Skrulls, implying there is no common ancestry here.
* EarlyBirdCameo: They were actually established to exist in a prequel comic made for the first ''Film/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2014}}'' movie, which had a brief scene showing somebody trying to sell a "Skrull detector" at a market Gamora was passing through.
* FightingForAHomeland: The Skrulls' motivation for standing against the Kree and searching for Lawson's energy core stems from want of a place where the Kree can't track and hunt them down
* GenderBender: Skrulls are capable of disguising themselves as species of the opposite sex, which they use to their advantage when they land on Earth to try and locate Carol Danvers. Talos briefly uses it to assume the form of a teenage girl on the beach, and Norex uses it to disguise himself as Maria Rambeau to lure Monica away from a potentially dangerous confrontation when Talos appears at the Rambeau household.
* GreenAndMean: All Skrulls have green skin and can be aggressive if provoked.
* HeroAntagonist: During the first act of ''Captain Marvel'', before they're revealed to be GoodAllAlong.
* InterspeciesFriendship: While their existence wasn't known to humans until the mid-90s (and wasn't public knowledge until the early 2020s at the least), it's implied that the relationship between humans and Skrulls is somewhat friendly in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', as Talos and Soren are capable of driving a car in their true forms without concern of being noticed. They also seem to work closely with humanity on government-related matters, as Nick Fury authorized Skrulls to impersonate S.H.I.E.L.D. and FBI agents on Earth (including ''himself''), and Skrulls are seen under his command at a S.W.O.R.D. space station.
* InvadingRefugees: [[invoked]] Deconstructed; This trope is explored by giving the Skrulls AdaptationalHeroism and showing them as wishing to avoid being this trope -- The only reason they're invading other worlds is because the Kree won't let them resettle on an uninhabited planet and are dogmatically pursuing them as part of a FinalSolution because the Skrulls refused to submit to Kree imperialism. The Skrulls are aware that they're a DyingRace and war is an incredibly stupid idea, but the Kree have forced them into a CorneredRattlesnake stance.
* MasterOfDisguise: They're a race of shapeshifting aliens that can take on the recent memories of those that they disguise as.
* NotOfThisEarth: A medical examination shows that they aren't carbon-based and are actually made from something not on the periodic table.
* OlderThanTheyLook: At their adulthood, they don't seem to age nearly as much as humans do. This is shown in [[spoiler:''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', where Talos and Soren look exactly as they did back in TheNineties, despite it being over ''three decades'' since we last saw them.]]
* PainfulTransformation: A Skrull's process of turning into another shape... doesn't exactly look like it tickles, as evidenced by how Talos and other Skrulls visibly cringe in pain whenever they do so.
* PointyEars: They have quite large, pointy ears.
* PurpleIsPowerful: The Skrulls are master shapeshifters who have an affinity for purple clothing.
* RememberTheNewGuy: They came into contact with Captain Marvel in [[TheNineties 1995]], but they are never seen or referenced again in-universe (outside the above-mentioned comic) until the events of ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', nearly thirty years later. Justified because they've been primarily just trying to hide from their Kree persecutors.
* ReptilianConspiracy: The Skrulls are a race of shapeshifting reptilian humanoids notorious for infiltrating other societies by replacing important individuals in order to manipulate them for their own ends. Unusually for this trope, they're neither malicious nor particularly dangerous for their host society, as their 'ends' are just to escape a brutal, genocidal empire and find a world/culture where they can live in peaceful secrecy.
* SecondaryColorNemesis: They have green skin in their natural state, and the entire species has an apparent fondness for purple. Subverted, because they are not the bad guys. The Kree are imperialist madmen, whereas the Skrulls just want to survive and find a home where they can live in peace.
* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: They don't simulate clothes on their own; rather, their clothing is generated by a device implanted on their bodies.
* SiliconBasedLife: A medical examiner studying a dead Skrull says that while Earth life is carbon-based, the Skrulls are something that isn't on the periodic table.
* SpaceJews: Played straight to the point of {{reconstruction}} when it comes to their backstory. They were unwilling to submit before a mighty empire out to conquer them. As punishment for their defiance, their ancestral home was destroyed, and their people were scattered wide and far, and are now looking for a new place to call home, all while they continue to be the regular victims of a genocidal campaign run by said empire.
* SpotTheImposter: While they have computers that copy the long-term memories of those they shapeshift into, they can only scan recent memories, leading to the Skrulls messing up when someone is probing the history of their current forms.
* SuperStrength: They're strong enough to handily beat a BadassNormal human but weak enough that said Badass Normal can still give them a decent fight. They seem to be on the lower end of [=MCU=] super-strength, about the same as Super Soldiers (Captain America excepted) or the Chitauri.
* ThisWasHisTrueForm: When a Skrull impersonating someone else dies, they revert back to their natural form.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Their chief ability is altering their bodies to disguise themselves as others, although Talos does mention that it takes practice and often a certain amount of talent to be able to do it well. They even possess the mannerisms of their adopted form to better sell the illusion.

A Skrull commander who leads an invasion on Earth in 1995.
----
* AccentRelapse: Talos switches between using an American accent when disguised as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and Creator/BenMendelsohn's native Australian accent when in his natural Skrull form. He even switches between the two to taunt Fury when fighting him.
* ActionDad: He's a Skrull general who also has a beloved daughter.
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: During their unsteady truce, Monica and Fury ask Talos if he can change into a cat, a file cabinet, or a Venus flytrap. Fury jokes that he'll give Talos fifty dollars to turn into a Venus flytrap. Talos despite himself looks amused.
* AdaptationalAngstDowngrade: In the comics, Talos had to live with the stigma of being a mutant who did not have the signature Skrull ability to shapeshift, until he learned that the mutation also granted him strength far superior to any Skrull and on par with any of the Super-Skrulls, which enabled him to become a fearsome warrior until a disgraceful defeat, though he redeemed himself in the eyes of his peers by fighting Hulk. Since he has the power of shapeshifting here, he is suffering from none of that. At least not at first.
* AdaptationalSuperpowerChange: Lacks the Skrulls' traditional VoluntaryShapeshifting powers in the comics, but has them in the MCU. This is likely because Creator/MarvelStudios knew that audiences would find it confusing at best and infuriating at worst to have a member of a shapeshifting species lack those abilities himself.
* AFatherToHisMen: Talos is shown to truly care about the Skrulls under his command, to the point that he pays his respects to one of his fallen soldiers while disguised as the S.H.I.E.L.D. director at the risk of blowing his cover.
* AffablyEvil: He's polite, AFatherToHisMen, occasionally cracks jokes with his fellow Skrulls, and even breaks character as the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. to give one of his soldiers in an autopsy chamber [[DueToTheDead last rites]]. {{Subverted|trope}}, in that he really isn't even evil.
* AlienArtsAreAppreciated: He's a fan of Creator/WilliamShakespeare, if his quoting of ''Theatre/HenryIV'' is of any indication.
* AntiHero: Despite being GoodAllAlong, he readily admits that he has done plenty of underhanded things in pursuit of his goals.
* AwesomeAussie: He has his actor's natural Australian accent and is GoodAllAlong.
* BadassLongcoat: He's the leader of the Skrulls who make their way onto Earth in ''Captain Marvel'', and he's dressed in a long coat that the other Skrulls don't have.
* BattleCouple: His wife Soren is a badass fighter in her own right, and they get some moments to shine together [[spoiler:in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'' while undercover as Nick Fury and Maria Hill.]]
* BodyDouble: [[spoiler:In ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', he spends the whole movie impersonating Nick Fury on the latter's orders while he is off on some other business.]]
* CantKillYouStillNeedYou: When Vers frees herself aboard the Skrull ship, Talos prevents his men from just shooting her, as they need the information buried in her subconscious.
* CastingGag: This is not the first time Ben Mendelsohn plays [[Film/RogueOne a character who gets involved in activities that take place in outer space]].
* CelebrityParadox ''[[Franchise/StarWars Star Wars]]'' exists in the MCU, and Talos's actor plays Orson Krennic in ''Film/RogueOne''.
* CharacterTics: He's got his own spin on the FacePalm where his eyes widen and he shakes his head "no." He uses this to express dry disappointment towards Norex, and later when they're flying towards Mar-Vell's ship.
* CynicalMentor: [[spoiler:To Peter Parker in ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', largely because Talos is reluctant to admit that he's in over his head and is trying to do what Nick Fury would do in a situation like this. Still, he makes some good points for the lessons Peter needs to learn about the full extent of his power and responsibilities.]]
* DeadpanSnarker: As characters in the MCU tend to be. At the Rambeau household, after Carol treats Maria's neighbor as if he were Talos in disguise, the real Talos is behind them and chides her: "You should be kinder to your neighbors. Never know when you'll need a cup of sugar." He then waves his arms, remarking that Carol should put her "jazz hands" away so they can talk because he doesn't want to fight.
* DeepCoverAgent: [[spoiler:A variant. He's sent alongside his wife Soren to impersonate Maria Hill and Nick Fury respectively in order to keep an eye on Spider-Man and deal with some immediate threats on Earth while the real deals were elsewhere.]]
* DiscOneFinalBoss: Is the antagonist of the first two acts of ''Captain Marvel'' -- before it's revealed he's actually a good guy.
* DueToTheDead: Talos finds a fallen comrade who is [[AlienAutopsy lying on autopsy table]] being studied by S.H.I.E.L.D. He takes a moment to whisper a prayer.
* EndearinglyDorky: While he can be very dangerous and ruthless when he needs to be -- and he needs to be ''often'' given his enemies are the [[AbsoluteXenophobe Kree]] -- underneath it all he's infectiously likable and jovial if you're on his good side. And while some aspects of Earth customs are lost on him, to others he adapts surprisingly quickly (he doesn't know where a human ass is located, but knows all about borrowing sugar from neighbors). And then there's the blazer he wears over his Skrull uniform (likely taken from the real Director Keller), [[RuleOfCool just because it looks stylin']]. [[spoiler:In the post-credits for ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', he's too embarrassed to admit to Nick Fury he was suckered by Mysterio despite his wife's urging to report to Nick about the danger on Earth.]]
* EnemyEatsYourLunch: When he infiltrates the Rambeau household, Talos helps himself to one of their soft drinks, slurping away on the straw when he announces his presence. [[spoiler:Though, as plot developments moments later reveal, he's not the ''true'' enemy, and is actually an ally.]]
* EvilSoundsDeep: Has a deep, ominous voice with an especially Australian accent.
* FakeAmerican: InUniverse. Talos disguises himself as an American S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, who is also played by Ben Mendelsohn but with an American accent. He drops the fake American accent when his cover's blown.
* FireForgedFriends: With Carol and Maria, but Nick Fury especially. Talos didn't get along with them at all, and they worked with each other in TeethClenchedTeamwork, but Fury eventually regards him as a close ally and even trusts him enough to [[spoiler:act as his BodyDouble in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''.]]
* FrontlineGeneral: He is in the field with the other Skrulls and takes point when negotiating.
* GoodAllAlong: Talos was never a bad guy, but he doesn't deny that he's done terrible things in his life, because he just wanted to find the remnants of his people who were given safe haven by Mar-Vell.
* GeneralRipper: At first, he was the ruthless general of the Skrull refugees who has committed various war crimes to keep his people safe from the Kree Empire. He does later decide to enter an EnemyMine with Carol by attempting diplomacy to know where Mar-Vell's lab is in order to keep his people safe, softening up his ruthlessness in the process.
* GoodParents: After he helped Carol recover her memories, they go to Mar-Vell's Imperial cruiser ship not only to get the Tesseract but to reunite with his wife and daughter who are hiding there.
* GunStruggle: When Nick Fury tries to hide from S.H.I.E.L.D. in the military facility, Talos eventually finds him and points a gun at his head, but Fury quickly grabs it, and the two fight over it. Fury manages to get it and attempts to shoot Talos with it, only to realize that the ammo was pulled out during the brawl.
* HappilyMarried: He and Soren are devoted to one another. [[spoiler:Twenty-nine years later in ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', they're still very happy together, even if they do have their moments of standard old married couple bickering.]]
* HeadbuttOfLove: He does this with his wife and daughter when they reunite after having been separated for six years.
* HeroAntagonist: During the first two acts of ''Captain Marvel''. After it's revealed that the Skrulls are not evil terrorists and just want someplace to live in peace, Talos plays the {{Tritagonist}}.
* HeroWithBadPublicity: Kree propaganda publicizes him as a vicious terrorist who invades and takes over other planets. All he wanted is to protect his family and find a new home for his people, even if he did a lot bad things to do so.
* HesAFriend: When Soren sees Carol Danvers at Mar-Vell’s laboratory and freaks out due to her wearing a Kree Uniform, Talos reassures her by saying this.
-->'''Talos:''' It's okay, it's okay. She's alright. She's a friend.
* HumanDisguise: [[spoiler:He's actually playing the role of Nick Fury in ''Spiderman: Far From Home''.]]
* IHaveYourWife: Implied when Talos meets with Carol, Maria and Fury. He then draws their attention to Norex impersonating Maria, who's standing with her daughter.
* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: He spends a portion of ''Captain Marvel'' impersonating Keller, Fury's boss at S.H.I.E.L.D. [[spoiler:He then spends all of ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'' impersonating Fury at Fury's request]].
* ImposterForgotOneDetail: Talos is able to fool Nick Fury into believing he's actually his boss when he takes on the disguise in ''Film/CaptainMarvel''...except for when he calls him Nicholas at one point in the elevator. At that point, Fury immediately becomes suspicious of his identity, since he goes by a LastNameBasis, and gets Talos to further incriminate himself with a test question that he fails.
* ImpliedDeathThreat: [[spoiler:Though he's certainly not talking seriously, after being interrupted several times by some of Peter's entourage while giving information about the Elementals, Talos (disguised as Nick Fury) warns him that the next time it happens, Peter and him are "going to attend another funeral".]]
* ItHasOnlyJustBegun: After they find his family and the other Skrull refugees in Mar-Vell's lab, Talos lets Carol know that their mission is far from over, as there are many other Skrulls out there who need their help.
-->'''Talos:''' This is just the beginning. There's thousands of us separated from each other... scattered throughout the galaxy.
* LickedByTheDog: During the final battle, Talos disguises himself as one of the Kree guards who arrest Fury and Maria. However, Goose recognizes him and comes to rub against his legs, as an early hint of his true identity.
* MasterActor: He is very skilled at impersonating others, the trait not every member of his shapeshifting species possesses equally. [[spoiler:When he takes up the role of impersonating Nick Fury in ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', he mimicks his personality and mannerisms so well that everyone he meets is fooled, in spite of lacking the real Fury's notorious paranoia.]]
* MarqueeAlterEgo: Talos spends portions of ''Captain Marvel'' in human form, as seen in his S.H.I.E.L.D. agent disguise. This is not only done to showcase the Skrulls' shapeshifting ability but also to give Creator/BenMendelsohn an excuse to get out of his Skrull costume and show his actual face... [[IdenticalStranger Which conveniently happens to look just like a S.H.I.E.L.D. director in 1995.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Mysterio's final con of outing Peter Parker as Spider-Man and blaming for the drone attacks probably would not be as damaging to Peter if Fury had issued a report on the subject which would have blamed Mysterio officially. Given that Talos was impersonating Fury, this makes it more of his fault, especially since Peter is unable to use him to clear himself of federal charges.]]
* NoOneGetsLeftBehind: [[spoiler:During the Elemental Fusion attack in London, Quentin Beck tells Talos (disguised as Nick Fury) that he should go to safety, but Talos, who has been warned that Beck is an impostor, declines on the grounds that he doesn't want to abandon his men.]]
-->'''Talos:''' I appreciate your concern, but I never leave my men behind.
* NotHelpingYourCase: As pointed out by Carol, Talos only wants to reunite with his family and needs her help to find them, but he made a pretty bad first impression on her by kidnapping her, investigating her mind, and attempting to kill her several times, instead of simply trying to talk to her, as he eventually does.
* NotMeThisTime:
** Due to their reputation as terrorists, Vers assumes that the Skrulls are responsible for the ravages in the planet Torfa. However, Talos later reveals to her that it was the Kree Accusers' doing.
** When Maria's neighbor Tom comes knocking on her door to ask about the Quadjet parked on the road, Carol suspects him to be Talos in disguise and treats him with hostility. Turns out he was just a nosy neighbor, and the real Talos is already inside the house.
* NotQuiteDead: Near the end of ''Captain Marvel'', Talos is shot in the back by Yon-Rogg as he escapes with his family and new allies. He lies on his back and calls his daughter closer for comfort. Talos doesn't bite it.
* ObviouslyNotFine: Just after Talos is shot in the back by Yon-Rogg, Fury comes to see his wound and asks him if he's okay. Despite clearly being badly injured and unable to get up, Talos answers this:
-->'''Talos:''' Never... better.
* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: Shortly after crashing on Earth, Talos managed to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D., get to the director Keller and incapacitate him, then tie him up and take his place, allowing him to get information about what he is looking for and send agents after his enemy Vers. How he was able to do all this without being detected is not clear, as it entirely happened off-screen.
* PapaWolf: He is willing to do anything to protect his family. He outright states that his hands are dirty from the war.
* PurelyAestheticGlasses: He wears a set of glasses while impersonating Keller, outright admitting he doesn't really need them but likes how they compliment his appearance.
* PrecisionFStrike: [[spoiler:He was willing to give [[EvilAllAlong Mysterio]] the benefit of the doubt, but watching the supposed Elementals spontaneously fuse into one monster makes him call the situation "bullshit."]]
* RapidFireInterrupting: [[spoiler:In ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', Talos (disguised as Nick Fury) goes to Peter Parker's hotel room and attempts to explain what is going on with the Elementals, but he keeps getting interrupted by a series of people out in the hallway.]]
-->'''Talos:''' Another person touches that door, you and I are going to attend another funeral.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: He has no relation to Carol Danvers in the comics. He debuted as an AntiVillain in the Peter David era of Hulk comics and was an uneasy ally to Nova and Ronan in Annihilation. The closest he comes to being associated with the name Captain Marvel or Carol Danvers would be during his appearance in Howard the Duck's comic as a villain, during which he came into conflict with an Avengers team which included Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan, who respectively had carried Carol's titles of Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel. However, Monica was known as Captain Marvel before Carol was, and was going by the name Spectrum when fighting Talos, and Kamala has only superficial relations to Carol other than the fact that she is a LegacyCharacter and an AscendedFanboy of Carol.
* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: After assuming the appearance of a Kree soldier, Talos makes Fury aware of his identity by mentioning "[[MeaningfulEcho Just go with it... like Havana.]]"
* TakeAMomentToCatchYourDeath: Subverted. When Talos and his family have reached the Quadjet and are about to escape from the Kree, Talos gets shot by Yon-Rogg right as the door is closing. Fortunately, he ultimately survives his wounds.
* TakeMeInstead: As Yon-Rogg arrives to round up (if not even exterminate) the Skrulls cowering in fear, Talos steps forward and defends them.
-->'''Talos:''' You can see they're not soldiers, let them go! You can have me.
* TranquillizerDart: [[spoiler:When he goes to Peter Parker's hotel room to recruit him, Talos (disguised as Nick Fury) shoots a tranquilizer dart at Ned Leeds' neck, knocking him out before he even hits the ground. Believing to have been shot by the real Nick Fury, Ned is surprisingly okay with this experience.]]
* TrespassingToTalk:
** In ''Film/CaptainMarvel2019'', Talos sneaks into the Rambeau household and steals a soft drink before revealing his presence to Maria, Carol and Fury and asking them for help in decoding the coordinates of Mar-Vell's lab.
** [[spoiler:Old habits die hard apparently, as Talos does this yet again in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''. Peter Parker unexpectedly finds him (disguised as Nick Fury) waiting for him in his hotel room in Venice to recruit him on the Elemental case.]]
* {{Tritagonist}}: He's this to Carol's TheProtagonist and Nick's {{Deuteragonist}} in Carol's solo movie.
* VocalDissonance: While taking the form of a surfer girl, Talos talks to his allies in his usual guttural voice.
* WalkingSpoiler:
** In ''Captain Marvel'', he's not the BigBad at all, but a victim of the Kree's genocidal campaigns, and he just wants to be safe with his family again.
** [[spoiler:In ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', the fact that he's impersonating Nick Fury while the real Fury is in space is a surprise plot twist.]]
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He's willing to have one of his men [[WouldHurtAChild target Monica]] as a way of making sure that he can speak with Maria, Nick Fury, and Carol Danvers. While he doesn't turn out to be evil, and even insists that he would never have actually ordered Monica to be hurt, this does go to show that he's capable of being ruthless. Later, after he's reunited with his family and Carol apologizes to his people, promising that she will no longer take part in an unjust war against the Skrulls, Talos admits that for all his noble intentions, he's no saint, either.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He is absolutely ''terrified'' of Flerkens, which is something Carol and Fury use to their advantage to keep him in line during their shaky alliance. As later shown, his fear is very much justified.
* YouAreNotReady: [[spoiler:He considers that someone as young and inexperienced as Peter Parker is not ready to receive Stark's E.D.I.T.H. glasses, and doesn't hesitate to tell him so to his face after he accidentally sent a drone after Brad Davis.]]
-->'''Talos:''' It's clear to me that you were not ready for this!

Talos's second-in-command and appointed "Science Guy".
----
* AllThereInTheScript: His name is never used during the film and is only revealed in the credits.
* BuildingIsWelding: When he spends the night making modifications to the Quadjet so that it can travel in space, he is mostly shown welding stuff.
* DecoyGetaway: After Yon-Rogg arrives on Earth, Norex stays behind to lure him away from his friends, impersonating Carol so the others can reach Mar-Vell's lab unimpeded.
* DefiantToTheEnd: Even after being shot by Yon-Rogg, he refuses to reveal where Vers is and simply tells him that he is too late.
* DyingSmirk: After receiving a fatal wound from Yon-Rogg, he taunts Yon-Rogg that he is too late with a smile on his face.
* EpicFail: Even with the advanced alien technology at their fingertips, Norex somehow failed to figure out that the hiding place of the Skrull refugees wasn't on Earth itself, much to Talos's exasperation.
* EvilGenius: Talos's resident scientist among the few Skrull characters. This is inverted after TheReveal that the Skrulls are the good guys, after which he becomes TheSmartGuy.
* GadgeteerGenius: He's good enough to modify a Quadjet to make it capable of flying in space in just one night, including adding an ArtificialGravity switch to the cockpit.
* HeroicSacrifice: He remains behind on Earth posing as Carol in order to delay and distract Yon-Rogg and Starforce while the real Carol and co. search for Mar-Vell's lab, which costs him his life when his cover is blown.
* ImpostorForgotOneDetail: Carol told him her code and some information so that he could convincingly pose as her to Yon-Rogg. Unfortunately, she forgot to tell him which Kree gave her his blood. When Yon-Rogg asks him about it, Norex is unable to answer, which blows his cover.
* MauveShirt: The only other Skrull character besides Talos who has some kind of role at least until Mar-Vell's lab is found, he gets a couple of gags to himself, and stays behind on Earth to keep Yon-Rogg busy at the cost of his life.
* NerdyNasalness: He's the "science guy" and speaks with a nasal voice that other voiced Skrulls don't possess.
* NotSoStoic: While Norex is fairly serious for the most part, he can't help but apologetically shrug when Talos berates him for failing to realize that the hiding place of their fellow Skrulls was in Earth's orbit, rather than on the planet itself.
* NumberTwo: He seems to be Talos's second-in-command.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He is never called by name during the film and is only referred to as "the science guy".
* WouldHurtAChild: When Talos corners the MainCharacters at Maria's house, he has Norex shapeshift into Maria and lead Monica away from them as an unknowing hostage so they would stand down under threat of what would happen to her. Though after Talos reveals his true intentions to them, he makes it clear this was a bluff and it's implied with Norex's position as the comic relief that he wouldn't have gone through with it.
* YouAreTooLate: His last words are saying to Yon-Rogg that he is too late to stop his allies.
-->'''Yon-Rogg:''' What have you done with her?\\
'''Norex:''' You're too late.

One of Talos's enforcers who crashed on Earth alongside him.
----
* CeilingSmash: During the subway fight, he gets slammed into the ceiling of the train car by Vers.
* ColdSniper: Among the four Skrulls who crashed on Earth, he seems to be the sniper of the group, as seen when he uses some kind of Skrull sniper rifle to try to shoot Vers from a rooftop while she is surrounded by S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. He is also much less talkative and more aggressive than his companions.
* HarmlessElectrocution: He receives an electric shock when he touches an antenna on the top of the train and is knocked backward, but he quickly gets back on his feet.
* HarmlessLadyDisguise: In an attempt to hide from Vers on the train, he assumes the appearance of an innocent old woman that he has just bumped into. When Vers notices that something's off with this old lady, the Skrull tries to act his role by making a friendly smile, but she's not fooled and punches him in the face. On the other hand, the passengers of the train really think that he's a poor granny being assaulted and try to stop Vers.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: After failing to shoot Vers from a roof, he decides to run away. She chases him into a nearby train where they have a fight, but he escapes her at the first opportunity.
* NeverMessWithGranny: He maintains his old woman appearance when he fights Vers on the train and does all kinds of fancy stunts.
* NoNameGiven: His name is not known, he is only called "Skrull Spy" in the credits.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He doesn't stay in the film for very long, but Carol retrieving his crystal containing the information from her memory that he dropped on the train is what eventually leads her to discover the truth about her past.
* TraintopBattle: Has a fight with Vers on top of a moving [[UsefulNotes/LosAngelesMetroRail LA Metro Rail]] Blue line train.
* TheVoiceless: He doesn't have a single line of dialogue.

One of Talos's enforcers who crashed on Earth alongside him.
----
* AlienAutopsy: After his death, his corpse is taken into S.H.I.E.L.D. custody to be examined. Upon performing the autopsy, the coroner discovers that the Skrull's body is not composed of carbon.
* ChokeHolds: During his brawl with Nick Fury inside the car, the Skrull eventually grabs his opponent's neck and starts choking him. Before passing out, Fury manages to crash the car, killing the Skrull right away.
* ExoticEquipment: Implied. After an autopsy is performed on his corpse, Fury and his boss lift the sheet to glance at what lies down below, and they look at each other. Fury then walks away awkwardly.
* GunStruggle: When Nick Fury realizes that the person sitting next to him is not the real Phil Coulson, the Skrull draws a gun on him but Fury grabs his hand, and the two fight over it until their car crashes, killing the Skrull.
* ImpersonatingAnOfficer: He tries to impersonate Agent Phil Coulson in order to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D., though he is quickly exposed.
* MythologyGag: His autopsy scene brings to mind the comic ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', which also featured an AlienAutopsy of a Skrull, as proof of an alien infiltration (in that comic, it meant that they could now infiltrate with higher ease than before, in the film it's the proof of their existence). And, also like in the comic, one of the people overseeing the autopsy is also a Skrull in disguise.
* NoNameGiven: His name is not known, he is only called "Skrull Spy 2" in the credits.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He only appears in two scenes before being killed, but his death is what makes Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. realize that aliens really exist and that Vers was telling the truth.
* ThisWasHisTrueForm: After being killed in the car crash while disguised as Coulson, his corpse reverts back to his alien appearance. Fury freaks out when he sees it and puts his coat over it to hide it.
* VillainousFriendship: Talos is shown to be saddened by his death and even calls him "my friend" when he wishes him a safe journey to the afterlife. Subverted, as it's later revealed that the Skrulls aren't actually evil.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He gets little dialogue, screen time, or development before he's killed in a car crash caused by Nick Fury.

* GunStruggle: When he realizes that Minn-Erva has figured out who he really is, he promptly draws a gun on her but she grabs it and manages to pull it out of his hands.
* NoNameGiven: His real name is unknown.
* ThisWasHisTrueForm: After being gunned down by Minn-Erva, his corpse reverts to its original appearance, confirming that the people on Torfa are Skrulls in disguise.
* TooDumbToLive: Even though he managed to approach Minn-Erva without her noticing him, rather than killing her by surprise right away, he chooses to pose as Att-Lass, have a little chat with her, and wait until she has realized his imposture to actually attack her. This results in his death.
* TorsoWithAView: Minn-Erva blows a huge hole in his chest by shooting him with her laser rifle.
* WeHardlyKnewYe: He's a very minor character who isn't even named and appears for less than thirty seconds before he gets shot to death.
* WouldHitAGirl: He is perfectly willing to pull a gun on Minn-Erva and try to kill her.

The other Skrulls under Talos's command.
----
* EscapePod: When Vers causes too much damage during her escape, several Skrulls evacuate their exploding spaceship and travel to Earth through small ships that eject from it. One of them gets his stolen by Vers before he can escape.
* GiantMook: Shortly after taking out a large horde of standard Skrull soldiers in Talos's spaceship, Vers comes face to face with a Skrull who is at least one head taller than the others. This huge Skrull is hardly affected by her blows and easily manages to knock her down, but she eventually frees herself from her shackles and uses her photon blasts to get rid of him.
* GrievousHarmWithABody: When Carol breaks free of the mind-reading machine and starts interrogating Talos, some Skrull soldiers arrive to stop her so she throws Talos at them, knocking them down.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: During the fight in the spaceship, one of the Skrulls knocked down by Vers falls on his own electric baton and gets shocked.
* InTheBack: On Torfa, one of the Skrulls disguised as a Torfan suddenly draws a gun at Yon-Rogg, but he is shot from behind by [[ColdSniper Minn-Erva]] before he can fire.
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: During her escape in Talos's spaceship, Vers enters a room where two Skrulls are watching some scenes from her memories. On seeing her, the two don't even try to fight and immediately raise their arms in surrender.
* {{Mooks}}: They serve as Talos's army of henchmen who get killed in droves by Vers and the other Starforce members. However, it eventually turns out that they are not as bad as they look.
* MythologyGag: Some of the Skrull technicians in Talos's ship are noticeably shorter, with bigger eyes and less human-like features than the regular Skrulls, resembling the Skrulls' look in their [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skrull#/media/File:Fantastic_Four_2.jpg very first appearance in the comics]].
* NoSell: The GiantMook encountered by Vers in Talos ship hardly reacts to her punches to his stomach and head.
* OhCrap: The Skrull technician who was tapping Vers' forehead has this reaction when he notices that her restraints are heating up and realizes she's about to break free.
-->'''Skrull Technician:''' Uh oh...
* OneHitPolykill: During the battle on Torfa, Minn-Erva uses special projectiles that can change their trajectory to kill several Skrulls in one shot.
* PercussiveMaintenance: After capturing Vers, one of the Skrulls starts tapping on her forehead as they are watching her memories. Talos even tells him "that did something, do it again", like they're working with a glitchy old television.
* RoarBeforeBeating: On Torfa, most of the Skrulls let out a loud war cry before charging into battle against the Starforce.
* ScreamingWarrior: They are often growling during their fights. At one point, one of them growls at Vers after punching her, and she responds by growling back at him.
* ShockStick: The Skrull soldiers use some sort of cylindrical clubs that can emit electrical discharges. They're powerful enough to harm Carol Danvers herself.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock: By using her photon blasts to break free of her shackles, Vers accidentally blows a large hole through the hull of Talos's ship, causing a large number of Skrulls to be sucked out into space.
* WouldHitAGirl: The Skrull soldiers show no hesitation in fighting against female enemies, such as Vers or Minn-Erva.

!!!'''Portrayed By:''' Sharon Blynn, Creator/CobieSmulders [[note]]Maria Hill form[[/note]]
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'' | ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome''
The wife of Talos, who was been hidden aboard Mar-Vell’s orbiting laboratory cruiser in TheNineties alongside their daughter.
----
* ActionGirl: [[spoiler:Despite not being the real Maria Hill, Soren proves that she definitely has her field training narrowed down, as she's capable of using a rocket launcher to destroy several of Mysterio's drones to protect Talos.]]
* ActionMom: She is the mother of Talos's daughter and can fight alongside her husband.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: In the opening scene of ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', she expresses disbelief when she's told that some people in Mexico claim to have seen a cyclone with a face, and thinks it was probably a mass hallucination caused by fear. This is coming from a shapeshifting alien who regularly hangs out with superheroes.
* BattleCouple: Soren is a badass fighter in her own right, and she and Talos fight alongside each other [[spoiler:throughout ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'' while undercover as Maria Hill and Nick Fury.]]
* BodyDouble: [[spoiler:Soren acts as Maria Hill's body double in ''Spider-Man: Far From Home''.]]
* {{BFG}}: [[spoiler:While masquerading as Maria Hill, Soren manages to shoot down a Stark drone using a rocket launcher.]]
* CoverInnocentEyesAndEars: On Talos's request, she covers their daughter's eyes when he is about to kill some Kree guards during the battle in Mar-Vell's laboratory.
* DeepCoverAgent: [[spoiler:A variant. She's sent alongside her husband Talos to impersonate Maria Hill and Nick Fury respectively in order to keep an eye on Spider-Man and deal with some immediate threats on Earth while the real deals were elsewhere.]]
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** While she understands why he did it, Soren thought Talos went a little too far taking out the then-director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and assuming his form, pointing out that he basically stole his identity.
** [[spoiler:In TheStinger for ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', she's also unimpressed with Talos trying to justify being completely bamboozled by Mysterio's lies and illusions, and forces him to contact Nick Fury to admit to his mistakes.]]
* HappilyMarried: She and Talos are nothing if supportive and loving of each other, even in the direst of circumstances. [[spoiler:Twenty-nine years later in ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', they're still very happy together, even if they do have their moments of standard old married couple bickering.]]
* HypocriticalHumor: While eating dinner at the Rambeau household, Soren lightly criticizes her husband for committing identity theft by assuming the form of Nick Fury's boss. [[spoiler:She does the exact same thing with Maria Hill nearly 30 years later. Of course, while Talos takes Keller's form without his consent, it's implied that Hill allowed Soren to take hers.]]
* MamaBear: She has kept her daughter safe and hidden from the Kree for several years and is willing to protect her from any potential threat.
* TookALevelInBadass: In ''Film/{{Captain Marvel|2019}}'', Soren was shown hiding amongst her daughter and fellow Skrulls, without any indication that she had any espionage or combat skills. Fast-forward to ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', [[spoiler:where she not only convincingly portrays Maria Hill but is shown to be a damn good fighter who can destroy remotely controlled attack drones with a rocket launcher.]]
* UndercoverWhenAlone: [[spoiler:Strangely enough, Soren calls her husband "Nick" when they go to Mexico disguised as Maria Hill and Nick Fury respectively in ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'', even though no one around knows who they are supposed to be.]]
-->'''Soren:''' Nick, this was a tragedy, but it's not why we're here.
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: She won't let anyone or anything hurt her husband Talos. [[spoiler:When Mysterio sends a drone to assassinate Talos (disguised as Nick Fury), Soren ''pulls out a rocket launcher'' and blasts the drone to smithereens!]]
* WalkingSpoiler:
** In ''Captain Marvel'', Soren and her daughters' existence is what proves to Carol, Fury, and Maria that the Skrulls are desperate refugees instead of brutal terrorists.
** [[spoiler:Soren's presence in ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'' at all is a pretty big spoiler, showing that S.H.I.E.L.D. authorizes Skrulls to impersonate their own agents.]]
* WomenAreWiser: Well, Soren is wiser than her husband. [[spoiler:In ''Spider-Man: Far From Home'', she points out that they are basically kidnapping Peter Parker, has no qualms about hurting Talos's pride when he claims he was always suspicious of Mysterio, calls him out for letting the situation get so far out of hand, and gets him to call the real Nick Fury about this mess.]]

When Carol and her allies make it clear that they come in peace, Talos's daughter shows off the high scores she earned on ''Space Invaders'' while hiding out on the satellite.
* GamerChick: She apparently played ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders'' quite a lot during the years she spent at Mar-Vell’s laboratory. When she meets Carol, she even shows her high score in pride.
