Veranke

Veranke is a fictional supervillain in Marvel Comics, serving as the queen of the shape-shifting alien Skrull Empire and the central antagonist of the 2008 crossover event Secret Invasion, where she impersonated the superheroine Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) to orchestrate a full-scale invasion of Earth as the Skrulls' prophesied new homeworld. Originally a princess from the Tyeranx Seven Province, Veranke was a devout religious zealot who opposed Emperor Dorrek VII after interpreting Skrull prophecies foretelling the destruction of their throneworld, Tarnax IV, by Galactus—a prediction that proved accurate when the Devourer consumed the planet, leading to Dorrek's death and Veranke's ascension to the throne. She established a theocratic rule over the Skrulls, banishing dissenters and preparing for the conquest of Earth, which she viewed as divinely ordained following the loss of their home. Beginning in New Avengers #1 (2005), Veranke infiltrated Earth's heroes by posing as Jessica Drew, using a ritual combining Skrull science and magic to not only mimic her appearance but also absorb Drew's powers—including bio-electric "venom blasts," pheromone control, and flight—along with her memories, allowing her to embed herself within the Avengers and manipulate key events like House of M and Civil War to sow discord among superhumans. As queen, Veranke commanded an army of Super-Skrulls enhanced with stolen DNA from Earth's mightiest heroes, deploying them to replace and impersonate key figures in a bid to destabilize global defenses during . Her scheme culminated in a massive battle in New York City's , where she was seemingly killed by (Green Goblin), an act that propelled Osborn to power as director of H.A.M.M.E.R. and initiated the Dark Reign era. However, Veranke was later revealed to have survived, imprisoned at Ravencroft Institute, from which she escaped to clash with the real in Spider-Woman vol. 7 #18–19 (2022). Possessing innate abilities like shape-shifting and superhuman strength, Veranke's leadership marked a pivotal shift in Skrull-Earth relations, emphasizing religious over previous imperial ambitions.

Publication history

Creation and debut

Veranke was created by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Leinil Francis Yu as a pivotal antagonist in Marvel Comics' post-Avengers Disassembled landscape. The character first appeared in disguise as the superheroine Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) in New Avengers #1 (January 2005), where she joined the newly formed team following the chaotic events that dismantled the original Avengers roster. This initial depiction embedded her subtly within the series, allowing Bendis to weave threads of uncertainty into the narrative without immediate revelation. Her true identity as Veranke, the Skrull Queen, was unveiled in New Avengers #40 (June 2008), marking a retroactive confirmation of her long-term infiltration. This reveal served as a cornerstone for the larger Secret Invasion crossover event, which Bendis and Yu spearheaded to explore the Skrulls' expansive lore—originally introduced in Fantastic Four #2 (1962)—through a lens of religious zealotry and existential desperation following the destruction of the Skrull homeworld. Veranke's conception emphasized themes of infiltration and paranoia, reflecting Bendis's intent to craft a "giant thriller epic" that questioned trust among Earth's heroes amid the fractured superhero community. The New Avengers series, launched in the wake of Avengers Disassembled (2004), provided the ideal publication context for Veranke's debut, capitalizing on the era's atmosphere of disarray and rebuilding. Bendis planned her role meticulously to heighten the impact of Skrull impostors, ensuring reveals like hers would resonate as shocking twists rather than isolated surprises. This approach tied her character directly to the buildup of Secret Invasion, amplifying paranoia as a core motif in Marvel's interconnected storytelling.

Major story arcs and developments

Following her introduction as the queen impersonating , Veranke became a pivotal figure in Marvel's 2008-2009 crossover event, appearing across the eight-issue limited series written by and illustrated by Leinil Francis Yu, where she orchestrated the infiltration of Earth. Her machinations extended to tie-in titles, including #14 (July 2008), written by Bendis with art by Khoi Pham, in which she manipulated the team's operations as part of the broader invasion strategy. Additionally, a 2010 trade paperback collection of (vol. 4) #1 (November 2009), scripted by Bendis and drawn by , referenced her role in the events through the post-invasion storyline. Veranke's profile was further documented in Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe A to Z #12 (October 2009), providing an entry on her physiology, leadership, and ties to the Skrull Empire amid the event's aftermath. She received minor mentions in subsequent cosmic storylines, such as the 2013 Infinity event by Jonathan Hickman and artists Jerome Opeña and Dustin Weaver, where her legacy as former queen influenced Skrull imperial dynamics during the Builders' war. After a decade of limited activity, with no major solo or central arcs between 2009 and 2020, Veranke returned in Spider-Woman (Vol. 7) #18-19 (January-February 2022), written by Karla Pacheco with art by Pere Pérez, as part of the Devil's Reign crossover, marking her first significant post-Secret Invasion confrontation. This revival aligned with Marvel's event-driven narrative style, reviving her as a vengeful antagonist amid Kingpin's purge of vigilantes. Her character's evolution has mirrored fan reception to Secret Invasion, initially met with unease over its twists but later praised for deepening Skrull lore and Marvel's universe-spanning conflicts, though she remained peripheral in titles through 2025.

Fictional character biography

Origins and rise to power

Veranke was born a of the Empire in the Tyeranx Seven Province, where she emerged as a fervent religious figure deeply devoted to the Dard'van Sect, a zealous faction within society centered on prophecies foretold in the Book of Worlds. This sect interpreted ancient scriptures to predict the impending doom of their empire, including the loss of their throneworld and the revelation that would serve as the salvation and rightful new home for the race. As a , Veranke's for these doomsday visions positioned her as a prophet-like leader, urging preparation for cosmic upheaval and relocation to avert . Her outspoken beliefs soon clashed with imperial authority, leading Emperor Dorrek VII to exile her to a remote prison world for inciting religious extremism and challenging his rule during a period of internal strife following confrontations with Earth's Illuminati. This banishment occurred amid growing desperation in the Skrull Empire, exacerbated by the long-standing destruction of their throneworld Tarnax IV by Galactus decades earlier, as well as recent catastrophes like the Annihilation Wave that decimated their forces and left them without a stable homeworld. Veranke's prophecies gained vindication as these events unfolded, portraying the empire's nomadic plight and defeats—such as those in the wake of World War Hulk—as fulfillments of the Dard'van foretellings, thereby bolstering her influence among disillusioned Skrulls. Upon the empire's further collapse, Veranke was freed from and acclaimed as the new Empress, ascending to the throne as the legitimate heir whose visions had proven prescient in guiding the toward survival. In this role, she reoriented the empire's strategy around the Dard'van prophecy, prioritizing a covert infiltration and conquest of as the essential step to restore Skrull dominance and secure their prophesied destiny. Her leadership transformed the scattered remnants into a unified force, driven by religious fervor rather than mere , setting the stage for an rooted in existential necessity.

Infiltration during House of M and Civil War

Veranke arrived on Earth as part of the Skrull Empire's long-term infiltration strategy, where she personally oversaw the capture of the real Jessica Drew, , and imprisoned her in a Skrull facility off-world. Assuming Drew's identity and absorbing her powers and memories through Skrull technology enhanced by , Veranke seamlessly integrated into Earth's community to gather intelligence and undermine its defenses. Posing as Spider-Woman, Veranke joined the newly formed New Avengers shortly after the Avengers' disbandment, becoming a core member alongside heroes like Captain America, Iron Man, Wolverine, and Luke Cage. During the House of M event in 2005, she participated in the team's efforts to confront the altered reality created by Scarlet Witch, subtly exploiting the escalating mutant-human tensions to further the Skrulls' goal of weakening Earth's protectors by amplifying divisions and mistrust among superhumans. Her presence allowed her to observe and report on vulnerabilities exposed by the conflict, including the psychological toll on key figures like the X-Men and Avengers. In the Civil War of 2006-2007, Veranke maintained her role within the anti-registration New Avengers, led by Captain America, while secretly operating as a double agent for S.H.I.E.L.D. on the pro-registration side, thereby sowing discord across both factions. She also infiltrated Hydra, posing as a defector to manipulate the terrorist organization and extract further intelligence on global threats. These actions enabled her to relay critical data on superhero divisions, registration debates, and tactical weaknesses back to the Skrull Empire, positioning Earth for the impending invasion without arousing suspicion.

Leadership of the Secret Invasion

As the Skrull Empress and leader of the Dard'van religious sect, Veranke orchestrated the full-scale invasion of , viewing the planet as the prophesied new homeworld for her displaced race after destroyed the Skrull throneworld of Tarnax IV. Her plan involved years of covert infiltration, culminating in the mass revelation of Skrull impostors among Earth's heroes and leaders during the 2008 storyline. This was first exposed in New Avengers #40, where Veranke's true identity as the Skrull posing as was unveiled, confirming the extent of the deception that included high-profile replacements such as Elektra (revealed in New Avengers #31) and (Hank Pym, exposed in #14). These infiltrations sowed deep mistrust, fracturing alliances like the Avengers and superhero community by exploiting internal divisions from prior events. The invasion's execution escalated into open warfare, beginning with the Skrulls crashing a massive ship into in Secret Invasion #1, signaling the end of subtlety and unleashing ground forces across . Veranke commanded from the shadows, deploying Super-Skrulls enhanced with stolen powers to target key heroes, while her ideological fervor framed the assault as a divine reclamation rather than mere conquest. This led to chaotic battles, including lures to the where decoy Skrulls mimicking Avengers members like and ambushed the team, further eroding trust among Earth's defenders. The conflict intensified as Thor's rallying cry united heroes against the invaders, highlighting Veranke's strategy of psychological disruption alongside military strikes. The climax unfolded in Secret Invasion #1-8, particularly in Central Park, where Veranke personally engaged in combat against assembled heroes including Iron Man, Wolverine, and Ronin (Clint Barton). Wounded by Ronin during the fray, she was ultimately killed by Norman Osborn's precise shot from his goblin glider, an act that publicly exposed the invasion's scope but failed to eliminate all Skrull remnants embedded on Earth. Her death marked the immediate repulsion of the invasion forces, though the event's revelations left lasting divisions in the superhero community, validating her goal of destabilizing humanity's guardians.

Imprisonment, survival, and later confrontations

Following the climax of , Veranke survived an apparent fatal headshot from , the director of H.A.M.M.E.R. Unbeknownst to everyone, she barely survived and was secretly imprisoned by Osborn at the Ravencroft Institute, where she remained hidden from the public and superhero community during the Dark Reign era, allowing Osborn to consolidate power in the aftermath of the . Veranke's captivity continued into the Heroic Age period, with her existence kept classified to prevent renewed agitation on Earth. In 2021, during the storyline, Mayor Wilson Fisk, known as , orchestrated her release from Ravencroft as part of his broader campaign against superheroes. Fisk deployed Veranke specifically to target , whom she had previously impersonated, tasking her with sowing chaos by into Drew's form and kidnapping her son, Gerry. This confrontation escalated when Veranke clashed with Drew and allies, including , in a bid to exploit lingering distrust from the invasion. Veranke's scheme culminated in her defeat during the events of #18–19 (January–February 2022), where Jessica Drew overpowered her in a direct confrontation, leading to Veranke's recapture and return to imprisonment. As of 2025, Veranke has had no further major appearances in Marvel Comics, though her role in has contributed to enduring Skrull-Earth tensions, influencing later conflicts such as the storyline and the event.

Powers and abilities

Skrull physiology and shapeshifting

Veranke, as a member of the race, possesses the standard physiological traits common to her species, which are reptilian humanoids with green skin, large pointed ears, and furrowed chins. Their bodies are permeated with unstable molecules that enable advanced capabilities, allowing them to mentally reshape their form through concentration. This physiology grants superhuman strength, generally allowing them to lift several hundred pounds to a couple of tons under optimal conditions, enhanced durability to withstand significant physical trauma, superior agility for rapid movement and reflexes, and a regenerative healing factor that accelerates recovery from injuries by reorganizing cellular structure. Skrull shapeshifting permits near-perfect mimicry of other humanoid forms, including replication of physical appearance, voice, mannerisms, and even pheromones to evade detection. However, this ability is constrained by biological limits: transformations are generally restricted to bipedal configurations of similar mass, with the overall volume adjustable only between 75% and 150% of the 's original size, preventing extreme size alterations for most individuals. also exhibit unique biological features, such as green blood and a tough, leathery that contributes to their . In addition to these traits, Veranke's physiology includes these standard sensory advantages, which proved useful in her infiltration efforts, such as briefly mimicking to access key organizations. Despite their formidable abilities, have notable vulnerabilities. Their can be disrupted by certain technologies, such as hyper-wave devices that force reversion to their natural form by destabilizing molecular control. Additionally, as a devout follower of Skrull , Veranke's judgment is sometimes clouded by religious fanaticism, leading to strategically risky decisions driven by visions of galactic destiny.

Abilities from Spider-Woman impersonation

By absorbing Jessica Drew's DNA through a Skrull ritual facilitated by infiltrators posing as agents, Veranke gained a perfect replication of 's enhanced powerset, allowing her to impersonate the hero convincingly during key espionage operations. This process not only duplicated Drew's appearance and memories but also integrated her bio-electric and physiological abilities into Veranke's biology, enabling sustained use without revealing her true identity. These absorbed abilities persisted even after her true identity was revealed, as demonstrated in later confrontations. One of the primary abilities Veranke acquired was the bio-electric "venom blasts," discharged from her fingertips as concentrated bursts of energy capable of paralyzing human or targets by overloading their nervous systems. These blasts, projected up to several meters, could also disrupt electronic systems through , providing a tactical edge in infiltration scenarios. Unlike the original Spider-Woman's initial limitation of requiring an hour to recharge, Veranke's version allowed for multiple rapid discharges, reflecting an amplified efficiency from the DNA integration. Veranke also inherited pheromone manipulation, enabling her to secrete chemical compounds that induced targeted emotional responses in others, such as attraction or pleasure in males and fear or revulsion in females, which could extend to broader confusion in mixed groups. This ability proved invaluable for psychological manipulation during her undercover roles, though it could be countered by chemical suppressants. In terms of mobility, Veranke gained flight through bio-electric propulsion, propelling herself at high speeds by channeling her to generate thrust, surpassing the gliding limitations of pre-enhancement . Complementing this was wall-crawling, achieved via adhesive secretions from her hands and feet that allowed to any surface, facilitating stealthy in environments. When combined with her innate , these Spider-Woman-derived abilities created a seamless impersonation that enhanced Veranke's effectiveness in espionage, particularly during the and events. This synergy allowed her to infiltrate hero circles and sow discord without detection, leveraging the powers for both evasion and subtle influence.

Other versions

Earth-8096

In the Marvel Animated Universe designated as Earth-8096, Veranke serves as the primary antagonist during the Skrull invasion arc in season 2 of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, which aired from 2010 to 2012. Unlike her Earth-616 counterpart who impersonates Spider-Woman, Veranke here assumes the form of Mockingbird (Bobbi Morse) to infiltrate S.W.O.R.D. and work alongside Nick Fury and the Secret Warriors, facilitating the initial stages of the alien incursion. This adaptation portrays her as a commanding figure driven by religious zeal, viewing the conquest of Earth as a divine mandate for the Skrull Empire's survival, much like her comic book depiction. Voiced by Elizabeth Daily, Veranke's dialogue and demeanor emphasize her regal authority, blending strategic cunning with fervent ideology. Veranke orchestrates the Skrull infiltration by replacing key human figures, including a duplicate , to sabotage Earth's defenses such as the and . The invasion escalates in the episodes "Infiltration" and "," where she reveals her true identity aboard a Skrull command ship, confronting , , and other heroes directly. During the climactic battle, the Avengers—bolstered by Thor, the real , and —overpower Veranke and her Super-Skrull forces after 's device exposes the shapeshifters. Captured following the skirmish on the ship, she is subsequently imprisoned in Prison 42 within the , a high-security facility designed by , Tony Stark, and . This version of the storyline scales down the invasion's scope compared to the expansive comic event, limiting deep infiltration among superheroes and focusing instead on targeted strikes against global institutions. Veranke's arc concludes with her defeat and exile to the rather than death, allowing for potential future threats while resolving the immediate crisis and highlighting themes of trust and unity among Earth's defenders. Her portrayal underscores the ' desperation but avoids the broader paranoia of hero replacements seen in Earth-616.

Earth-10021

In the alternate reality designated Earth-10021, Veranke serves as the Queen of the Skrull Empire, leading a successful version of the Secret Invasion that diverges sharply from the main continuity (Earth-616) where the plot ultimately fails. In this timeline, explored in What If? Secret Invasion #1 (2009), the Skrulls infiltrate and replace key superhuman figures without detection, culminating in a decisive victory over Earth's heroes during the climactic battle at Camp Hammond. Veranke's strategic orchestration allows the Skrulls to seize control of the planet, establishing a one-year reign marked by the subjugation of human governments and superhuman resistance. As ruler, Veranke consolidates power through ruthless tactics, including forming an alliance with , whom she elevates to her consort after his pivotal role in the invasion's success by killing her counterpart. She publicly addresses the , accusing of terrorism and demanding its and the of its leaders within 48 hours, framing the nation as a primary threat to dominance. This leads to a direct military assault on the Avengers' hidden base in , where converted humans and forces clash with the remaining free heroes, highlighting Veranke's emphasis on preemptive strikes and ideological justification over the prophetic motivations seen in her incarnation. Veranke possesses standard Skrull physiology, including enhanced strength, durability, and the ability to into various forms, which she employs to impersonate human leaders and maintain infiltration networks during the takeover. However, her rule ends abruptly when the Avengers Alliance for Freedom, led by figures like and , unleashes a modified engineered by Osborn to target and their human converts. The virus proves lethal, stripping Veranke of her abilities in her final moments and eradicating all on , resulting in her death and the collapse of the empire's occupation. Post-event, no significant roles for Veranke or surviving are depicted in this reality.

Battleworld (Earth-15513)

In the Battleworld reality (Earth-15513) formed by Doctor Doom as part of Secret Wars (2015), Veranke appears in the Warzone domain, impersonating T'Challa / Black Panther. She orchestrates a prolonged conflict between pro-registration and anti-registration forces, mirroring the Civil War, to sow division and maintain control over the domain. Veranke reveals her true identity to Tony Stark / Iron Man after stripping him of his armor, confessing that she instigated every major conflict in the Warzone to perpetuate the war. Her machinations contribute to the escalating instability that ultimately leads to the domain's destruction during the larger Battleworld event. This version emphasizes Veranke's manipulative prowess in a post-apocalyptic patchwork world, diverging from her Earth-616 prophetic zeal.

In other media

Animation

Veranke makes her primary animated appearance in the Marvel animated series The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (2010–2012), where she serves as a central antagonist in the second season. Voiced by actress Elizabeth Daily, Veranke is depicted as the queen of the , orchestrating a covert invasion of Earth by impersonating the Avenger known as (Bobbi Morse). In the series, Veranke's infiltration begins after the real Mockingbird is captured following an attack on HYDRA Island, allowing the Skrull queen to assume her identity and embed herself within Earth's hero community. She manipulates events by joining Nick Fury's Secret Warriors and exploiting the Avengers' temporary disbandment, ultimately masterminding a large-scale Skrull assault. Her key appearances occur across several episodes, including "Prisoner of War" (Season 2, Episode 10), "Infiltration" (Season 2, Episode 11), and the climactic "Secret Invasion" (Season 2, Episode 12), where she deploys advanced technology like a virus to disable Iron Man's armor and an A.I.M.-developed device aimed at eradicating humanity via satellites. Veranke's scheme is ultimately thwarted through the combined efforts of the Avengers, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, and Ms. Marvel, who destroy the satellites and confront the invaders directly in Washington, D.C. The queen is knocked unconscious by Ms. Marvel in her half-shapeshifted form and imprisoned alongside other Skrulls in the high-security Prison 42, marking the end of the immediate threat. The animated adaptation emphasizes themes of invasion-induced paranoia and distrust among heroes, with Veranke's deception sowing division similar to the comic storyline, though simplified for television by condensing the infiltration into a focused arc without the extended, multi-year deception seen in the source material. This portrayal highlights her strategic cunning and leadership, but resolves the conflict more swiftly to fit the series' episodic format. As of 2025, Veranke has no other major appearances in animated series beyond The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, though she is occasionally referenced in related tie-in media such as promotional materials and character bios.

Post-2008 updates and for the series incorporate -themed content, portraying her influence through infiltration mechanics, though she lacks a direct playable or boss role. In the mobile card battle game Marvel: War of Heroes (2012), Veranke appears as Empress Veranke, a collectible playable that players can upgrade for team-based combat, leveraging her leadership traits for strategic buffs in invasion-themed events. As of November 2025, Veranke has no prominent roles or dedicated storylines in major titles such as Marvel's Avengers (2020) or the Insomniac Spider-Man games (Marvel's Spider-Man: in 2020 and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 in 2023), with appearances limited to potential handbook entries or minor lore references in broader Marvel gaming databases. Gameplay adaptations across these titles consistently prioritize her for versatile attacks, reflecting her comic abilities without expanding into new narratives.
