* EntertainginglyWrong: When finding the Skrull, the Avengers and FF lay out how he gave himself away killing the Kree and the victim wrote a message in English for any Earth heroes to find his killer. Rolling his eyes, the Skrull snaps that the pair were actually partners and even friends in their mission. The reason the Kree wrote in English was because they had become so accustomed to their disguises as humans that, like any good deep-cover agent, they communicated in the same language and the message was meant as a warning to him.
