[ Welcome to Tony Stark's very swank lab, in the bowels of his company. There isn't much there, the way the camera's angled, just Tony Stark's head from above, and he's accompanied by a large sea turtle (with a human penis attached) and a few scattered sheets of metal that haven't been worked yet. The camera faces down, which means Stark looks up at the camera, giving it a look. Lately, he's gone back to the mustached look, instead of the goatee. His hands spread across the table, like he's using it to hold himself up. ]
I'm not normally one to look down on someone using science to move forward. Hell, I'd fund them, if I thought they'd take it. That's kind of the point of being a futurist, is trying to figure out ways to improve our future, and I do mean that, the communal our. Unfortunately, we have some people who get in our way at every turn, and no matter how much we look, the rabbit hole gets deeper.
I took something of a vacation recently, with a few other people, and we thought -- hey, wouldn't a diving trip be fun? But wouldn't you know it? After we head into the warm carribbean waters, there's someone determined to make our lives a living hell. I mean, keeping us out of countries, sure, and I suppose it's our fault for heading to the Caymans, because of their connection with Britain, but hey, we had every right to be there.
Anyway, when we went diving, we ran into an issue. You see, being curious, spunky imports as we are, we decided to investigate the oddities underwater. The weird thing was, we found something in there. It wasn't your standard...oddly placed underwater storage facility, it was your average underwater shadowy organization research center. Complete with, [ he gestures to the turtle with a human penis attached to it ] mutated animals. Now see, there wasn't much there. I guess we startled them, or maybe they were afraid we'd get too close eventually, but there were some interesting notes. Apparently, this thing here [ he gestures to the dick on the turtle ] was supposed to launch fire. Talk about sexually transmitted diseases. This wasn't the only one, either. I mean, the rest were other body parts, but it looks like the same thing could have applied to those too. They were mutating them to have powers.
Just think abot that.
As someone who's used technology to give myself something comparable to powers, I think I have a hell of a position to be pretty outraged by this. Who knows, they do this, what's next, they build an army of... [ He looks down at the turtle, well, it wouldn't be an army of turtles with dicks that shot fire, but... ] people with powers to take us out?
Don't lose your vigilence. It was a team effort that led to some of us figuring this out. The more we work together to take care of them, the better off we'll be.

The parts from the other world, was it the mechanoids or these seafaring gentlemen I've heard so much about?

But the issue is that this could be pretty dire, pretty quick. Especially if they were to get ahold of our particular DNA.

...Or they've improved beyond those limitations since.

They're trying to find the right match, here, and I want to make sure they don't.

But that's a point worth considering, they had every opportunity to expand their templates while the Skrulls were among us. Which isn't even considering the possibilities Super-Skrulls could provide.
There's no telling what their individual agents may be capable of.

I think, however, that they haven't perfected replicating Skrulls. Why would they rely on them?
video;
With the seamless execution of that February, I think that's probably a safe assumption. But I still have to wonder how limited their supply is.
video;
Then again, I think the skrulls are easier to get where they want them to be, too. Think about it, the metamen could be nobodies, the skrulls could be anybody.

What do you have from our amphibians? The dimension-crossing ones.

It can't all have been a dead end, can it?

Vulcanus has some pretty interesting technology. Particularly when it comes to pulling things here.

[ He holds a hand to his forehead. ]
I can't believe someone let her go over there, grateful as I am.

[He pauses a moment, considering the news a little further.] So, we knew already that they were making outgoing visits. That it can go both ways...
I'm not particularly fond of being outclassed. I'm sure you like it even less.

But if we get enough good heads in one room, we might be able to work something out.
