Warning: full spoilers for Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion series on Disney+ ahead!
The finale of Marvel’s Secret Invasion series on Disney+ features a super-powered brawl between the villainous Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) and a vengeful G'iah (Emilia Clarke), so we’re laying out exactly what powers these Super-Skrulls were infused with and which MCU heroes and villains they came from.
Both Gravik and G'iah were already Super Skrulls with the powers of Extremis and Flora Colossus/Groot – a nod to the fiery and stretch powers of the original comic book Super-Skrull who had the abilities of the Fantastic Four – but thanks to Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) deciding to give Gravik the Harvest as part of his master plan to avoid all-out war, they were both enhanced with dozens more. Fury revealed that the Harvest is a collection of DNA from everyone who spilled blood during the final battle of Avengers: Endgame, where pretty much every MCU hero gathered to stop Thanos – a conflict that became known as the Battle of Earth, according to Fury.
As Gravik prepares for the initial clash with G'iah, one of his arms is made of Groot’s thick, mossy vines, and during the battle he extends it into a whip-like weapon.
Gravik’s other arm transforms into that of Abomination, the scaly, muscular brute with strength comparable to the Hulk. Even his ear turns into one of Abomination’s signature head-fins.
In what is easily the most unintentionally humorous moment of the battle, G'iah flexes her arm as it turns into the signature red-and-green arm of Drax the Destroyer.
Ghost has the power to phase through solid matter, and we see G'iah use it at the start of the battle to avoid getting smashed with a car.
Gravik swaps out his Abomination arm for the rocky arm of Korg, the alien gladiator befriended by Thor on Sakaar.
G'iah channels the power of the Frost Beast to make a deadly ice blade sprout from her hand. There were no Frost Beasts at the Battle of Earth, but remember that Gravik was harvesting powerful DNA from other sources before he got his hands on the Harvest. We first saw the Frost Beast on the visit to Jotunheim in the first Thor movie.
When Gravik gets pinned, he transforms his arm into that of Ebony Maw of the Black Order and uses his telekinesis to knock G’iah away with a flying rock.
Gravik turns one of his legs into a Hulk leg, which he uses to send G'iah flying. When G'iah surprised Gravik at the start of the battle, she used a Hulk arm to knock him into the sky.
G'iah transforms her arm into the black scaly arm of Cull Obsidian, granting her immense strength.

Jul 5, 2023 · In the comics, the Super-Skrull is given his powers by a signal from his home planet (not Skrullos, as in the MCU), and blocking the signal renders him weakened in his initial form. Gravik's powers come from Earth-based scientists and no signal is involved at all, making him a more fearsome foe.
