Dorrek's aide is the name attributed to a fictional alien featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. He first appeared in Fantastic Four, Volume 1 #18 in September, 1963.

Biography[]

Dorrek's aide, was a member of the shape-shifting alien race known as the Skrulls. His real name is unknown. He was frequently seen wearing long brown robes and a dark brown miter and was based out of the Skrull Throneworld known as Tarnax IV.

The aide served under Emperor Dorrek VII and was often privy to the Emperor's most ambitious thoughts, many of which involved planned conquests of the planet Earth. Presumably, the aide was present when Dorrek first sent a scouting team to the planet to determine whether or not the world was ideal for invasion. However, the Skrull scouting party was repulsed by a team of super-powered heroes known as the Fantastic Four. The aide could not believe that such people could actually triumph over members of their "superior" shape-changing race. [1]

When the first attack against Earth failed, Emperor Dorrek set upon an even scheme - one designed specifically to challenge the might of the Fantastic Four. He emptied the Skrull treasury and devoted all of his people's keenest scientific minds towards the creation of the ultimate adversary - Kl'rt - the Super-Skrull. When the Super-Skrull was prepared for his first mission, the aide informed Dorrek that all was in readiness and that the moment was at hand. Her personally announced the presence of the Super-Skrull to the Emperor as he entered the throne room. [2]

Abilities[]

  • 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.

Notes & Trivia[]

  • The final fate of Dorrek's aide is unknown. It is possible that he died when Galactus destroyed Tarnax IV. [3]
