FANTASTIC FOUR

"The Super-Skrull Cometh!"

Chapter 5

Although the Super-Skrull had not been briefed for the Avengers in the self-same manner, and degree, that he had in relation to battling the Fantastic Four, for which he had been so basically sanctioned to destroy...

"Try to take him from all sides, Avengers!"

"Captain America is right! Ben, Johnny, Susan...hit him with everything you have from every advantageous vertex!"

"Stretcho, this ain't no time to be speakin' 'scientifee'!"

Nevertheless, the Super-Skrull promptly proved himself more than a match 'gainst the singular likes of not only the FF, but the seemingly more pussiant superheroes called: Avengers.

As, against such as both the Hulk and The Thing, the former more massive as well as significantly stronger; while the latter's seemingly super-human will more than made up for what such as he might lack in comparison to the green-skinned ultra-destructive man-beast...

"Don't get in my way, 'Mr. Green Jeans'!"

"Bah! Hulk smash pointy-eared creature before puny rock-man!"

"Why you...!"

It was simplicity itself for the Super-Skrull to combine such as his own Thing-like super-strength, via forearms and hands, augmented masterfully by Mr. Fantastic's "talents" in swiftly super-stretching said Thing-hands...

Smack! Thunk! Poww!

"Uhn!"

"Gaaagh!"

...to batter both behemoths mercilessly: one seemingly made of marble; the other an impossibly muscular mass of a green skin even deeper than that of the Super-Skrull's.

Then, 'gainst such as the Avengers: starting with the no longer motorcycle-riding red-white-and-blue suited super-soldier called Captain America. Even as such as he, acrobatically avoiding direct blasts of plasma flame whilst hurling his indestructable circular escutcheon unerringly toward...

"Your colorful little shield is useless!" loudly and proudly proclaimed the Super-Skrull as he stretches and twists his body with the self-same super-pliability as Mr. Fantastic. "It cannot possibly proffer harm to one so multi-powered! Hahahahaha!"

Even as the saucer-like shield of patriotic red-white-and-blue swooped straight-and-true back to its powerful owner, like a roundish boomerang...

"Don't let up, Avengers!"

Even as the shoulder-rolling-acrobatically away Captain America shouted such...

Spider-Man and Iron Man attempted to attack via tactics totally unique to each: Spider-Man shooting his webs whilst sticking to the sides of high-rise structures; Iron Man unleashing his potentially deleterious palm-placed repulsor rays...

Which half of the Super-Skrull quickly countered according to said superhero pressing such preplanned power moves: with Spider-Man, the super-hot Human Torch-like plasma flames instantaneously disintegrated concentrated spider-like webs, whilst the spider-powered personage swiftly web-swung away; with Iron Man, a quickly erected invisible force field, formed in a manner meant to reflect, rather than deflect!, repulsor rays straight toward their singular source and, thus, sending the suddenly self-stricken metal-enshrouded superhero sailing several city blocks backward...

And Giant-Girl would discover, much to her disgusted chagrin, that simply striking out as a four-story tall super-sexy superhero meant nothing to an alien villain capable of calling forth the super-powers of such as The Invisible Woman...

"Hey, that smarts!"

...thus shaping an unseen force field into something sharp so as to stab one of Giant-Girl's greatly resized fists.

As to Thor, the Thunder God: his austere Self failed to make use of mighty Mjolnir to put down the Super-Skrull; due totally to the green-skinned, pointy-eared adversary's uncommonly coordinated combination of FF-like abilities.

Primarily super-stretching and the creation of ultra-dense shields of invisible force psionically sent forth by such a superior super-villain.

"Thou art truly a worthy foe for such as the Thunder God!"

In the end, in regards to the multi-angled attack strategy of the Avengers, it would be the non-super-powered African prince in black whom would, at least, land the first fist upon such as the Super-Skrull.

Though Black Panther's punch was nowhere near enough to put down this super-villain, such staggered, slightly!, the Super-Skrull for enough fleeting instants so that the Fantastic Four could quite quickly attack...again.

"Take that, 'Stupor-Skrull'!" The Thing thunderously roared right after planting a stony fist into the green jawline of the Pride of the Skrull Empire.

Which, in the next single instant from the precisely opposite side...

"Let's see if you can eat plasma flame as well as you throw it, you green goon!" The Human Torch chortled whilst unleashing a concentrated blast from a single extended fire-engulfed fist.

Even as The Invisible Woman, maintaining complete imperceptiblity, formed a rapidly rising platform from which such as she sent pointy-tipped, also unseen!, force-field forms into the, thankfully for him!, super-pliable solar plexus of the Super-Skrull...

"Back away, darling!" warningly warbled Mr. Fantastic as his super-stretched, to the point of pain for the undisputed leader of the unflappable Fantastic Four!, Self swiftly wrapped tautly about the momentarily dumbfounded enemy of Earth...

Not to mention similar strategems regenerated by the re-assembling Avengers, in both separate and cooperatively carried out attacks at such a singular super-powerful foe.

But, since such shortcomings could never avail themselves to such as the Super-Skrull's prideful perspectives!, this multi-powered personage rapidly redirected his extra-special pussiance 'gainst those wholly incapable of self-protection.

The hapless Humans of Manhattan's Time Square!
