01x04 - Invasion of the Super Skrulls

Post by bunniefuu »

And now to witness the destruction of the

Fantastic Four. Activate the

Intergalactic Disintegrator, Marshal

Drawf. It is done, my Imdrawf.

It's working, Drawf. The Fantastic

Four will soon be no more. And

I shall be Emperor of Earth. What?

The Invisible Girl is protecting them

with her force field. She's

causing a power feed bank. The

Disintegrator's destroying itself.

You have failed again, Drop. The

Fantastic Four still live. I

warn you, the Fantastic Four must be

destroyed. I must conquer their planet.

One more failure will be your

last. But sire, your

moment of triumph is at hand.

Behold, the weapon that cannot

fail.

The Super Skrull! All

homage to your imperial majesty,

sire. I await your commands.

Super Skrull?What madness is this

from?This is but one of my servile

skrulls. He is no match for the Earthling

Quartet. More than a match, Your

Excellency. You are aware, sire, of the

stretching power of Mr.

Fantastic's body?Observe!

Within seconds, he shall retrieve his

Spectofish from the deepest waters of the

Skrull Sea. But the

Skrull Sea is more than 100 miles

away. Mr. Fantastic can stretch but a

fraction of that distance. True, sire.

But here is your

Spectofish. Wonder of wonders.

I would see more of his powers. And

so you shall, sire. Flame

on! Next, sire, observe how the

Super Skrull can more than duplicate the

powers of the human torch. He can

fly faster than the Earthly.

And maintain his flame longer!

Marshall Trot, you have done your work

well. Now I would see the

Super Skrull's other powers, for he must

be an even mightier warrior to defeat the

Fantastic Four. Behold, he

shall now exhibit a strength which

surpasses that of even the mighty thing.

Standing atop this platform, he shall

lift the cosmic generator which supplies

all the power of our planet. Impossible!

He is doing it. This exceeds my

wildest hopes. The weight of that

generator, sire, exceeds 100

tons. Excellent, Troth. Excellent.

Summon the Super Squirrel. I must

congratulate him. Where is he?He is

here beside you, sire. Beside me?

Are you mad?I see no one. But that

is my fourth power, my lead. Should find

invisibility. Thus, I can match the

feats of the invisible girl. It

is time for me to embark on my mission to

Earth. I swear I shall never

return, my lord, until the

Fantastic Four are no more,

and the planet Earth is yours!

Go, then, and conquer for

your beloved Emperor!

Don't you just adore the new fashions,

Reed, darling?If it's all the same to

you, Sue, I think I'll browse around the

book department. Boy, it must be a

gas to work in a store like this. Look at

all the chicks! I'm

gonna buy me a bowling ball.

You sure this is the biggest size you

got, Buster?I don't exactly have skinny

fingers, you know. That model will fit

even a gorilla! All

I can say is, you must know some pretty

small gorillas, pal.

Hey, Johnny, look!It's a special

announcement. Meanwhile, Times Square

remains in a state of panic and turmoil

at the site of the alien spaceship, which

landed there five minutes ago. Oh, Reed!

This could be serious! If there's panic

in the streets, it's already serious.

Hundreds of people could be hurt. Well,

let's don't stand here yank and let's

make like heroes. Check, then. Flame

on!

I claim this planet and all it possesses

in the name of the Intergalactic

Skrull Empire. I

shall grant the Imperial Skrull flag

to mark the spot where I landed.

And... What?

The ground is too hard! That's solid

concrete! Concrete, you say.

That is no problem for the Super-Sprod!If

I can higher it's be, fuel and torch!

Disperse, Earthrings! I shall soon

issue imperial orders for

all of you!

All goes well, sir! Ah,

martial prod!The Super Sproge's

real test will be when he confronts

the Fantastic Four. Behold,

my leads! The moment is at hand!

Even now, the Human Torch approaches! Ah,

the Human Torch! At

last! A perfect target for my

anti-matter fireball! Drive

Human Torch to your doom!

Holy cat!A fireball! Gotta

get out of the way! Reed, look! A

bear! The

explosions stunned him, he's out cold!

Reed, do something!

Got him! And just in time! Thank

heavens! Take care of Johnny, Sue! I've

got to go after whatever it is! As long

as that monster is free, the entire city

is in danger! Wait till Ben gets here!

I can't wait, Sue! So

there you are, whoever you are.

You may call me Super Skrull, Doomed

One, while you can!

For I have spanned countless light years

with but one mission. Destroy the

Fantastic Four! Destroy us?

But why?For the glory of the Skrull

Emperor!Your destruction will enable

him to conquer all Earth. We'll

see about that, Monsieur. Let's

see how you do in a bare-knuckle fight.

You are fast, my enemy, but not as fastas

I! They are! It's now! And now, to

finish you off... with one

mighty impact!Oh,

no, you don't. I'm the fella does the

clobbering around here. The thing!

In person, buster. Your

only weapon is brute-strength thing.

Then I'll see how you fare against my

greater strength.

How come villains always making cornball

speeches when they throw a punch?So,

You do not care for my little speech.

I have the power to alter my body in any

manner I choose. And no,

I choose to become a battering

ram! I can handle this, wise guy.

It's not the flying in my mind, it's the

sudden stop when I land.

Come to papa, baby!

Gotcha! Now the only problem is, how

am I gonna get down?It's

my turn again, Super Skrull.

So, you have recovered. Well,

I shall dispatch you with ease.

A flaming sickle?Is that the best you can

do?Copy the torturous tricks.

I've got a few tricks too, Super Skrull.

making a parachute of myself if need be.

Flame on! You

cannot escape the mighty Super Skrull.

Your body is pliable, but the heat

resident. My flames will write a

fitting minute to the story of

Mr. Fantastic!

Johnny! Look! The Sprull has become a

torch! That outer space troublemaker

hasn't seen anything yet. Flame on!

This exploding fireball is just a sample

of what I'm going to give him.

Good work, Johnny. Talk about close

calls. I've still got a score to settle

with Mr. Super Sprull.

Johnny, wait!It's too powerful for you to

tackle alone. We've got to have a plan.

Nothing doing, Reed.

So, you make it easy for me.

Now I will not have to chase you. There

is no limit to the power of my brain.

I can bride of every air about you. I

can't see. Wow,

that Skrull character's got Johnny on the

ropes. Maybe I can give him a chance to

catch his breath.

Bullseye! Come on, kid! Let's get out

of here while the gettin's good! Thanks,

man! My flame power's failing! Skip the

flowery speeches, kid. Just get me down

on solid ground and we'll fall in even

steam.

Johnny! You're hurt! I tried to tell him

he was overmatched. I'm okay. But I

won't be able to flame on for hours. Boy,

is that guy dynamite! Yeah,

well, I'll dynamite him just as soon as

that's the thing! A blaming arrow!

But where did it come

from?Up here, my cowering targets! Do

not be alarmed that you cannot see me.

For I too have the power of invisibility,

just as you, Mrs. Retract.

The only difference is, I also have all

the powers of your three friends. And

w*r! You coward! Come out

here where I can see you! No, Ben, run!

Hold, birthlings! As straight as

impossible! Quick, everyone! We've

got to get back to the master building!

Let them spend a sleepless night of fear

and trembling. To appoint when

or how my awful powers shall strike them,

or strike I shall! No

power owner can max the mice of the

awesome, super sprawl!

Have you spotted the Super Skrull yet,

Ben?Nah, but he's out there somewhere all

right. I almost wish he'd attack. I

can't stand this awful waiting. I know,

sis. But every moment he delays,

gives Reed that much more time to find a

way to defeat him. Hey, Double Dome. When

are you gonna stop the mad scientist bit

and come up with something?I think I've

got something, everyone. I just detected

a mysterious concentration of ultrasonic

power rays being beamed to Earth from

outer space. That means that the Super

Skrull's powers must depend upon a source

of energy from outside his body. My guess

is that his home planet in the fifth

quadrant is actually beaming power rays

to him here on Earth. Big deal.

So now we know what makes Super Skrull

thick. But we still need a way to fix his

clock. We may have a way, Ben. This

tiny, tough, miniaturized jammer should

rob the Super Skrull of his powers.

There's only one catch. Someone

has to put it on him. Only one of us

could possibly do the trick. The

Invisible Girl. How about it, Sue,

darling?Are you games?Of course, Reed.

Whatever you say.

Now to set the scene. I'll launch our

remote-controlled orbital public address

system and try to contact the Skrulls.

Fantastic Four calling Super Skrull.

Fantastic Four calling Super Skrull. If

you are within hearing range, respond by

speaking into the floating mic. We

challenge you to meet us again in final

combat on Crater Island in the South

Pacific. Hold!

I accept!This will be your

finish!

Hey, hi, pockets. Why'd you pick Crater

Island?It's sure a long way to go to clop

us, somebody. True, Ben. But this way, no

one else will be injured as we battle the

Super Skrull. Look, Reed! There's

Crater Island below! Right, too. And the

Super Skrull is there waiting for us.

This is it! Prepare for landing!

Okay, where's old Super Schmoop?

And remember our plan. The three of us

must keep him occupied so that Sue can

approach him unnoticed. There he is,

g*ng! Up there!Say your

prayers, Fantastic Four!

Within 60 seconds, I

shall be the only living being on this

planet. They

are about to meet for the final battle,

my leads. Increase the power rays to full

intensity. This is at peak intensity

already, Your Majesty. Nothing can

stop the Super Skrull now.

Pull! Here's one extra power you did

not know I possessed! Immobilize the

f*ck

What's happening?I can't

move! Now it's my

chance at him! Do an

export!

Oh, no!Got me!

And now to dispose of the leader of the

defeated Fantastic Four.

Oh! As soon as I

finish you off, disposing of the girl

will be child's play.

So, Mrs. Richards... Ah

I will merely sweep the area with my

flames and burn you to a...

What's this?My flame won't ignite!

What's happening to me?I feel

strained! Wait!

My Emperor! Something is wrong with the

power ray! It doesn't make contact!

What?Impossible! Keep trying,

you don't! The ray is operating perfectly

from here, but something is jamming it on

Earth!The Powerade aren't reaching the

Superstrull! Abomination!

The Fantastic Four have awaited you!

You will suffer for this martial drop!

Ooh, wee, what hit me!

Hey! I got unfinished business with

you, Skrullman! My

powers are gone! I must escape!

Not yet, buddy boy! It's

clobberin' time!

I still have the power to change my form!

And the form I chose is...

Goodbye, Fantastic Four!

Not so fast, fella! Oh,

Reed, you got him! Yeah, let me get

him! Spare me! Spare you?Or what?

To return to your planet and plan another

attack?No! I cannot

return! I will be punished for my

failure here! What can we do with him,

Reed?If we put him in jail, he can turn

into a caterpillar or something and just

crawl out! Mercy! I'll

become anything you wish! I hate

being a scrull! Just let me live

some way and I can be peaceful

and contented! Peaceful and contented, eh

Well, there is one way. But I'll have to

blot out your memories so you'll forget

you were ever a Scrull. And you'll live

your life as whatever I have you change

to. Is that agreeable?Yes,

I agree. Anything you

say. Well, so much for the Super Scrull.

He won't menace Earth again. You said it,

Reed. And he got what he wanted. He'll be

peaceful and contented for the rest of

his life. Right, Super Scrow?Umm
