How Gravik and the Skrulls got a hold of Extremis isn't known, but its regenerative qualities could make them almost invincible. Thankfully, as with many other would-be villains in the MCU, Killian was stopped by Iron Man, as well as a very pissed-off Pepper Potts ( Gwyneth Paltrow).Īpart from a brief cameo from an Extremis soldier in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, the plot line has not had a significant impact on the MCU until now. However, the unintended side effects of fire-based superpowers gave Killian the idea to create an army of deadly soldiers to fulfill his nefarious needs. The initial intent of Extremis sounded altruistic enough, supposedly capable of increasing human intellect and even regrowing severed limbs. Still, the massive alien was still a formidable enemy of the Avengers, with enhanced strength, speed, and durability that Gravik is bound to make use of.įinally, the last bit of genetic weaponry that Gravik has (that we know of) is a sample of Extremis - the super soldier serum developed by Aldrich Killian ( Guy Pearce) and Advanced Idea Mechanics in Iron Man 3. Cull Obsidian primarily fought using a chain-like hammer, which, as far as we know, is not in the Skrull Rebellion's possession. He returned to Wakanda with a robotic hand but was eventually slain by Bruce Banner ( Mark Ruffalo) using the Hulkbuster suit. While facing off against Iron Man ( Robert Downey Jr.), Doctor Strange ( Benedict Cumberbatch), Spider-Man ( Tom Holland), and Wong ( Benedict Wong), Cull Obsidian had his hand chopped off by a sling ring portal.

Since then, the massive alien became one of Thanos' deadliest assassins, being trusted enough to be sent to Earth to obtain the remaining Infinity Stones in Avengers: Infinity War. As with all of Thanos' lieutenants, Cull Obsidian was adopted as one of Thanos' children after the Mad Titan purged his homeworld. It also presumably has a strong resistance to cold weather, as that would be required for any creature living in Jotunheim.Īnother piece of DNA that Garvik has is the hand of Cull Obsidian ( Terry Notary) - one of the members of Thanos' defunct Black Order. The Frost Beast is gargantuan while also being lightning fast, even able to keep up with Thor at top speed.

As seen in Secret Invasion, the Frost Beast was eventually killed, and its decapitated head somehow ended up in the possession of Gravik and his rebellion.

One of those realms was Jotunheim, so another Frost Beast was free to cause mayhem in London. The Frost Beast then returned during Thor and Malekith's ( Christopher Eccleston) final battle, where the nine Nordic realms collided from different portals. The conflict was deadly and put the peace between the realms at further risk, but Thor was able to slay the beast. The original 2011 film saw Thor Odinson ( Chris Hemsworth) and his companions meet the beast while on their impromptu mission to the Frost Giant realm of Jotunheim, where they sought retribution for a Frost Giant infiltration led by King Laufey ( Colm Feore). The fearsome creature known as a Frost Beast appears, which is the gargantuan frozen creature that was first introduced in the Thor films. The second name on Gravik's list is one that MCU fans haven't seen in about 10 years. We see Gravik utilize Groot's abilities in the trailers for Secret Invasion, where he extends a Groot-like limb against his enemies. Groot, being a Flora Colossus, is able to stretch and use his tree-like physiology to stretch and extend his body at will, also featuring a rapid healing factor and regenerative abilities. The Skrulls likely were able to obtain Groot's DNA through some left-over detached branches during his time on Earth during either Infinity War or Endgame. We last saw Groot continuing his journey with the Guardians, now a bit more mature and bulky. Thankfully, Groot was revived when the remaining Avengers reversed the Blip in Avengers: Endgame. While assisting the Avengers in fighting Thanos' ( Josh Brolin) army on Wakanda, Groot was one of the trillions who vanished when the Mad Titan obtained the Infinity Stones and caused the Blip. Groot became a bit less adorable when he entered his teenage phase in Avengers: Infinity War, where he naturally developed quite a disrespect for authority. 2, with the other Guardians functioning as parents for the adorable little twig. Groot continued to be a naive child in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.
