Biography[]
Criti Noll was a female member of the Skrull race. She was sent to Earth as a deep-cover spy and assumed the form of Hank Pym and took his place as a member of the New Avengers.
During the "Civil War" event, Criti Noll was part of the assembled heroes at the Baxter Building debating the merits of the pending Superhuman Registration Act. Along with Tony Stark and Reed Richards, Criti was among the first to throw support behind the formation of the act and pledged to hunt down renegade heroes who refused to obey the law. [1]
Powers[]
- Shape-shifting: A Skrull's innate primary ability is the power to completely alter its form down to a molecular level. This includes alteration's of body size, skin texture, pigmentation, etc. This ability is primarily cosmetic in nature, as it does not allow a Skrull to imitate the physical properties of what it duplicates. For example, a Skrull may be able to shift into the form of a solid steel cube, but it does not develop the durability of a block of steel. However, a Skrull's physiology does allow for other physical permutations to bestow it additional abilities.
- Elasticity: A sub-set of shape-shifting, a Skrull's body is exceptionally pliable allowing it to stretch, mold, and re-form its limbs.
- Size-alteration: A sub-set of elasticity, a Skrull can flatten or expand its body, to appear larger than it would when in its natural state. Also, a Skrull can condense its body mass to assume a form significantly smaller than when in its natural state. There are limits to this however. A Skrull cannot expand its body any larger than 1.5 times his or her original mass and volume, an by contrast, cannot condense its mass or volume by more than 0.75& of its original measurements.
- Bio-weaponry: A sub-set of shape-shifting, a Skrull can transform parts of its body into any number of bladed or blunt force weapons. However, the effective damage such a weapon can administer is no greater than the overall strength and durability of the Skrull itself.
- Flight: By their nature, Skrulls cannot fly. However, a creative Skrull may alter its form to flatten out sections of its body to give itself wing which can be used to glide or fly. A Skrull who takes the form of a bird can fly just as easily as a bird does.
- Mimicry: A Skrull can alter the shape of its vocal chords so that it can imitate the voice, sounds, or cries of any living person or creature that it duplicates. This is an excellent application to their power as it allows for a Skrull to more effectively impersonate its target without risk of obvious detection.
