immix , these ability make him an implausibly potent opposition to Fury and Ben Mendelsohn ’s Talos , and his destructive design progress to him even more grave than the Infinity Saga ’s master baddie , the unbalanced Titan Thanos .
Gravik Ca n’t Be down Thanks To Extremis
After the comprehension of Extremis was fluff inSecret Invasionepisode 2 , sequence 3 , " snitch , " prove how worthful it can be , as Gravik used Extremis to cure his paw after a het up give-and-take with Talos lead him hurt .
Extremis was introduce to the MCU during 2013’sIron Man 3 , but had been all but forget until an Extremis - raise assassinator appear in short inShang - Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings .
This was now , however , extremis take on a immense purpose in gravik ’s design for ball-shaped disintegration , andsecret invasionepisode 4 showcased the fact that extremis has permit gravik to become an almost - perdurable baddie .

Gravik veil 2 Heroes & Replaced An avenger
Gravik has prove himself to be a unwavering and deadly warrior throughoutSecret Invasion .
At the ending of instalment 1 , Gravik adopt the identicalness of Nick Fury himself and kill Cobie Smulders ' Maria Hill in a shameful and unexpected round of consequence .
He subsequently go forward to ostensibly down Emilia Clarke ’s G’iah inSecret Invasionepisode 3 , and ultimately take down Talos in installment 4 ’s net struggle .
Gravik has been show to be an improbably deathly scoundrel with no scruple about claim out salient zep without falter .
This is in bleak direct contrast to Thanos , who stress to head off needlessly vote down the MCU ’s poor boy unless he was get out with no other pick .
This was not only has gravik take out several significant character in the mcu’ssecret invasion , but installment 4 also uncover that don cheadle ’s james " rhodey " rhodes , the avenger have a go at it as war machine , is in fact a skrull in camouflage .
This confirm hypothesis that spring up take after the ambiguousending toSecret Invasionepisode 3 .
This was it ’s undecipherable precisely how longsighted rhodey has been a skrull , though it ’s potential he could have been act within the avengers for long time , think of gravik will get it on all-important selective information that would have otherwise been inconceivable to number by .
This was this was a massive book of revelation forsecret invasion , and will certainly have a major encroachment on the mcu break onwards .
Thanos need To Save Humanity , Gravik ask To intercept It
Gravik ’s vast point of major power inSecret Invasionhas already rise that he is perhaps as firm as the delirious Titan Thanos , but there is one fundamental particular that set these two supervillains aside .
During the MCU ’s Infinity Saga , specially in 2018’sAvengers : Infinity War , Thanos want to amass the six Infinity Stones and pass over out half the universe of the creation in society to part with resource and spare the other one-half .
Conversely , Gravik does n’t desire to dispense with any humankind in his pursuit for a Modern base , but would rather see the integral mintage obliterate so that the Skrulls would be gratuitous to lay claim Earth as their raw plate .
This was this fact make gravik even more terrific than thanos , as at least the delirious titan had a smidgeon of compassionateness for the mass that would be leave behind , and go for that they would thrive in the aftermath of hissnap ininfinity war .
This was gravik does n’t partake this motive , only want to see human race destroy out of retaliation , and egotistically want to transmute the earth into the skrulls ' own human race , without any desire to talk terms or compromise .
Gravik has evidence himself to be a sincerely terrific baddie inSecret Invasion , and since he continue to shew his business leader by kill Fury ’s friend , it ’s operose to think how Fury might quit him .
