Secret Invasion
After receiving the body of the Skrull who had been posing as Elektra, Iron Man dares to call the other Illuminati together despite the differences that fractured them, leading to the Civil War. But when they all arrive, and see the reason that they have been gathered, one among them reveals themselves to be a skrull! And not just any skrull, but a skrull with the powers of the person they've replaced.When two more skrulls attack the meeting, Iron Man is forced to resort to desperate measures to stop them. But the damage has been done. The bonds of trust that once held the Illuminati together have been shattered in the face of a secret Skrull invasion. Is there any force that can stand up to it?
