Marvel's Mind-Blowing Revelation: Unraveling a Phase 2 Post-Credits Enigma Sets the Stage for an Epic MCU Villain!

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Secret InvasionMarvel's Secret Invasion has finally provided answers to one of the biggest unanswered mysteries in the MCU Phase 2. Despite the initial lukewarm response and a deliberate scaling down compared to the Secret Invasion comic book event, Nick Fury's solo project is a must-watch. It not only adds depth to the expansive Marvel narrative but also cleverly references and connects to previous MCU lore without being distracting.

The MCU is still filled with numerous unanswered questions, from post-credits teasers that haven't been explored yet to unresolved storylines. With 40 releases, including 32 MCU movies, it's inevitable to have loose ends. However, credit must be given to Kevin Feige's creative team for their impressive dedication in incorporating older MCU mysteries into new projects in a way that feels natural and indicates a well-thought-out plan, even when there wasn't one. Secret Invasion continues this impressive trend.

Secret Invasion Revealed Where Thor: The Dark World's Frost Beast Went

In Secret Invasion episode 2, a reference to the Frost Beast was made, alongside the mention of Groot's stolen DNA and nods to Cull Obsidian and the Extremis virus. The last appearance of the terrifying monster was in 2013, in the post-credits scene following Thor: The Dark World. However, the chaos caused by the monstrous Jotunheim creature and the giant Celestial hand emerging from the ocean were never shown or acknowledged further. This post-credits scene remained a mere joke in Marvel history.

Secret Invasion has now provided an explanation, revealing that the Frost Beast was killed on Earth and its DNA was stolen by a Skrull agent after its demise. It is presumed that Tony Stark's Department of Damage Control handled the Frost Beast before a Skrull imposter collected a sample of its DNA during the Skrull Harvest, which targeted significant super-powered artifacts.

Why The Skrulls Stole The Frost Beast's DNA

In Secret Invasion, it is revealed that Gravik has assigned his scientist, Doctor Rosa Dalton, and her husband to utilize the gathered artifacts for an enigmatic experiment. Gravik's Avengers contingency plan involves creating the MCU's own version of the Super Skrull, a foe of the Fantastic Four who was genetically modified to emulate the abilities of Marvel's First Family. Since the Fantastic Four have not been introduced in the MCU yet, Secret Invasion adopts a similar concept but substitutes each of the Fantastic Four's powers with alternative abilities derived from the four collected artifacts:

The abilities of the Invisible Woman are replaced with the DNA of the Frost Beast.

Mr. Fantastic's stretching powers are replaced by Groot's DNA

The Thing's super strength are replaced by Cull Obsidian's DNA

The Extremis virus replaces the Human Torch's fire powers.

Although the Frost Beast from Jotunheim does not possess the power to turn invisible in Thor: The Dark World, it does have incredible strength, durability, and super speed. These abilities will likely be possessed by the Super Skrull instead. As a result, Gravik will become a formidable enemy for Nick Fury, especially since he cannot rely on the Avengers due to his fear of the Skrulls stealing their powers as part of their harvest. The Secret Invasion trailer footage has already revealed that Gravik will ultimately become the Super Skrull, and the introduction of the Frost Beast will make things even more challenging for Fury.
