Had the 2nd episode of Secret Invasion thrown any more developments at us, the international would without a doubt have faced a neuron scarcity like no different; as the miniseries continues to replace old questions with a myriad of latest ones and ramp up the volatility of the stakes, we’re gazing eagerly as the MCU‘s foray into political thriller territory unfolds with expanding delectability.

But that’s to not say that echoes of same old Marvel antics aren’t in play, either; indeed, following her participation in the assault on Russia, G’iah stumbled upon a DNA collider hidden in Gravik’s base, and whilst its presence does no favors for the another way grounded nature of the display, it nevertheless sets a moderately terrifying precedent for the scenario forward.

In their hunt for suitable entities to merge their DNA with, the in-the-know Skrulls have rounded up the likes of Frost Beasts, Cull Obsidian, and Groot, in addition to the bioelectrical virus Extremis, which might finally end up being the key factor in this daunting recipe. But what exactly is Extremis?

What is Extremis?

Extremis is a nanotech-enabled virus created by means of genetic biologist Maya Hansen, who was later enlisted via Aldrich Killian to best possible its steadiness under the eye of his A.I.M. company. The virus enhances the matter’s DNA, in particular focused on the brain’s physically restore functions and subsequently allowing the subjects to heal from maximum all wounds, or even regrow lost limbs and body portions. Some users are even able to manipulate the metabolic nature of the virus’ repairing skill to generate unhealthy quantities of warmth, which can result in the creation of explosions if channeled properly.

Killian supposed to use the virus to create a military of Extremis Soldiers, who were later burnt up by way of Iron Man, War Machine, and J.A.R.V.I.S. in Iron Man 3 after Maya witnessed the horrors of Extremis experimentation in the back of A.I.M.’s doors and turned to Tony Stark for help. The virus used to be later received by means of HYDRA’s Centipede Project, where it was blended with Gamma Radiation, Chitauri era, and a kind of Super Soldier Serum to create their very own breed of enhanced infantrymen. Thanks to the efforts of Nick Fury, Phil Coulson, and the latter’s group of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, the Centipede Project has since been extinguished.

It’s no marvel that Gravik wishes to arm his Skrull warriors with the presents of Extremis, then; having elite alien squaddies in your aspect is one thing, but elite alien soldiers that can reason explosions with their naked hands while being unfairly tricky to kill? Well, we will be able to best hope that Fury manages to foil Gravik’s plans sooner than it involves that.
