Warning! This article contains spoilers for Secret Invasion episode 3. Secret Invasion episode 3 unveiled surprising plot twists that build upon the events of the previous episodes. As Secret Invasion revolves around espionage, it showcases more unexpected turns than previous Marvel Studios Disney+ shows. In the first episode, the shocking death of Maria Hill, a beloved MCU character, set the tone for the series. Additionally, the revelation that there are potentially one million Skrulls hiding on Earth added another layer of intrigue. Secret Invasion episode 2 concluded with the surprising revelation that Nick Fury is married. Consequently, in episode 3, we gain further insights into Fury's personal life, leading to even more significant revelations. G'iah's newfound role as a mole for Talos within Gravik's ranks, coupled with the unraveling of Fury's past, continue the show's pattern of delivering jaw-dropping revelations that have far-reaching implications for both the series itself and the broader MCU.

6 Gravik Is Creating Super Skrulls In Secret Invasion

In Secret Invasion episode 2, there were hints regarding Gravik's experiments. However, it was in episode 3 that the true nature of Gravik's plan was officially unveiled. As suggested by the Skrulls' DNA samples, Gravik is creating Super Skrulls. In episode 2, when questioned about the Avengers' involvement in their invasion of Earth, Gravik mentioned having a backup plan.

This plan was revealed in Secret Invasion episode 3, where Gravik's response to the Avengers was for him and his followers to become super-powered themselves. The villain explicitly mentioned the Super Skrulls, expressing their intention to imbue themselves with superpowers in preparation for the inevitable conflict with Earth's heroes once the invasion commences. Although the possibility of Super Skrulls was hinted at in Rosa Dalton's reveal in episode 2, the official confirmation of their existence in the Marvel Cinematic Universe is a significant revelation in Secret Invasion episode 3.

5 Gravik Already Has Super Skrull Powers In Secret Invasion Episode 3

In Secret Invasion episode 3, a significant development stems from the creation of Super Skrulls. It is revealed that Gravik possesses powers, leading to a noteworthy scene between him and Talos. During their meeting, they engage in a discussion, each presenting their contrasting views and ideologies. Towards the end of the encounter, Gravik mentions G'iah, provoking a reaction from Talos, who impales Gravik's hand to a table. However, upon Talos' departure, Gravik effortlessly frees his hand from the knife securing him to the desk.

As Gravik observes, his wound quickly heals due to a radiant orange power. This power originates from Extremis, one of the DNA samples showcased in the Easter egg-filled scene of Secret Invasion episode 2, illustrating the acquired abilities of the Skrulls thus far. This revelation indicates that Gravik has already employed the machine developed by Rosa Dalton, thus empowering himself as a Super Skrull. This unforeseen development is likely to significantly impact the latter half of Secret Invasion, as it renders Gravik an even more formidable adversary than before.

4 Nick Fury's MCU Reputation Was Earned By Talos & The Skrulls

While it may not be a significant revelation in terms of the Secret Invasion storyline, Talos' disclosure about his and the Skrulls' collaboration with Fury's ascent to power represents a major plot twist in the history of the MCU. According to what Talos revealed, the intelligence provided by the Skrulls under Fury's command allowed him to become the accomplished undercover agent he is known as within the MCU. This revelation not only gives a new context to every instance in the MCU when Fury displayed knowledge that others were unaware of, but it also highlights the immense capabilities of the Skrulls and what they can accomplish through their secretive nature.

3 G'iah Is Killed By Gravik In Secret Invasion Episode 3

In the initial two installments of Secret Invasion, a conflict took shape within G'iah. She found herself torn between assisting Gravik in accomplishing his objectives and remaining loyal to her father, Talos. Building upon this, Secret Invasion episode 3 delves deeper into G'iah's role as an active informant for Talos in regard to Gravik's operations. Likewise, the episode also highlights Gravik's mounting suspicions about G'iah, leading to a dramatic twist where he ultimately exposes her as a mole.

2 Secret Invasion Episode 3 Seemingly Confirms That Rhodey Is A Skrull

Speculation grew after episode 2 of Secret Invasion, suggesting that James Rhodes from the series might have been secretly replaced by a Skrull. The suspicious events, such as Rhodes' cold demeanor towards Nick Fury and uncharacteristic violent tendencies displayed in episode 2 of Secret Invasion, led many to believe that an imposter had assumed his identity beneath the War Machine suit. This theory was seemingly confirmed in episode 3 when Varra, Nick Fury's wife, contacted someone to arrange a meeting with Gravik.

1 Nick Fury's Wife Is Working With Gravik In Secret Invasion

Although not confirmed, the unmistakable voice on the other end of the phone strongly suggests that it is Rhodey. In episode 3 of Secret Invasion, the truth about Rhodes being a Skrull was not fully disclosed, but another clue was provided. While it is still possible that the voice on the phone does not belong to Rhodey, the hints from episode 2 of Secret Invasion and the striking similarity to the beloved MCU hero strongly indicate that a Skrull has been masquerading as an Avenger for an unknown period of time.

The scene showcased a significant reveal regarding Fury's wife, Varra, who is also collaborating with Gravik in the Secret Invasion. Earlier in the episode, Fury confronted his wife about her involvement with Gravik, to which Varra did not explicitly deny. Instead, Varra explained that Fury's prolonged absence, with him hiding in space after the Blip, caused her to revert to her previous persona before meeting Fury. This implies that she may have been a covert infiltrator for the Skrulls, strongly suggesting her alliance with Gravik.
