It's been a while since the Skrulls stole the Four's DNA, but they have far from forgotten. In the middle of the "Be a Fantastic Fifth For a Day" contest, they unveil their finest warrior--a super-Skrull with all the Four's powers.

* AllYourPowersCombined: The super-Skrull.
* AscendedFanboy: Rupert.
* BigNo: Reed, Johnny and Ben together when Susan suggests that Rupert should get an extra day with them to make up for the Skrull invasion.
* BigYes: from Rupert.

* EnemyMine: Ronan and the super-Skrull partnered in his creation; the Skrull got the benefit of better science; Ronan got someone who would help him capture Johnny. [[{{Understatement}} The Skrulls weren't appreciative when they found out that their commander had been partnering with one of their enemies.]]
* LeaveHimToMe: Ronan insists that whatever happens to the rest of the Four, Johnny is his.
* MeaningfulEcho: When the Skrulls first turn up to threaten the Fantastic Four, Rupert says, "It's Fantastic ''Five'' today." He thinks it's only roleplaying and breaks down upon discovering it's real. Then at the end, after defeating the team, the Super-Skrull gloats, "So ends the Fantastic Four." Grabbing Ronan's staff, Rupert retorts, "It's Fantastic ''Five'' today, Super-Skrull!"
* {{Revenge}}: Ronan's motive.
* SequelEpisode: To "My Neighbor Was a Skrull" and "Trial By Fire."
* VillainTeamUp: {{Lampshaded}} by Rupert, who thinks it's "sweet".
