Magic Eight Ball Mondays: Skrull Invasion

I love regular features and in that spirit, every Monday I will ask a magic eight ball questions. This week, we'll determine who is and who is not a Skrull. Oooh, fun.

(And for the purposes of this, any positive response is a yes--like "outlook good" means yes. Same with anything negative means no. Any "ask again laters" will get asked again later.)

Me: Hey, magic eight ball. Are you ready?

8: Most Likely

Me: Sweet. Now, the obvious question: is Tony Stark a Skrull?

8: Don't Count On It

Me: Ms. Marvel?

8: Outlook Good

Me: Sentry?

8: Signs Point To Yes

Me: How about Luke Cage?

8: It Is Decidedly So

Me: Iron Fist?

8: Yes Definitely

Me: Spider-Man?

8: As I See It Yes

Me: Spider-Woman?

8: Outlook Not So Good

Me: Wolverine?

8: Yes

Me: Dr. Strange?

8: Ask Again Later

Me: Clint Barton?

8: It Is Certain

Me: Echo?

8: Concentrate And Ask Again

Me: IS. ECHO. A. SKRULL?

8: As I See It Yes

Me: Jessica Jones?

8: Cannot Predict Now

Me: Fuck. How about her and Luke Cage's kid?

8: Signs Point To Yes

Me: What about Wong?

8: Cannot Predict Now

Me: Hulk?

8: Most Likely

Me: Wolverine?

8: You May Rely On It

Me: I just realised I asked that one already. Um, let's call that a test. And you passed, magic eight ball. Proud of yourself?

8: Reply Hazy Try Again

Me: Smug bastard. Are all of the X-Men Skrulls? (No way in hell I'm doing all of them one by one.)

8: Most Likely

Me: What about the other Mighty Avengers I just don't care enough about to ask about individually?

8: Concentrate And Ask Again

Me: Fuck you! Answer the damn question!

8: Outlook Not So Good

Me: Fine. How about Nick Fury? Is Nick Fury a Skrull?

8: My Sources Say No

Me: Bucky? Is Bucky a Skrull?

8: You May Rely On It

Me: Namor?

8: My Reply Is No

Me: Black Bolt?

8: My Reply Is No

Me: Dr. Strange?

8: Outlook Not So Good

Me: Is the Illuminati Skrull-free?

8: Cannot Predict Now

Me: Is it Professor X? Is he the one the Skrulls replaced in Illuminati #1?

8: Better Not Tell You Now

Me: Is most of the superhuman population Skrulls at this point?

8: Concentrate And Ask Again

Me: IS. MOST. OF. THE. SUPERHUMAN. POPULATION. SKRULLS. AT. THIS. POINT?

8: Cannot Predict Now

Okay, obviously the magic eight ball has decided to be a prick and won't answer anything else. But, there you have it folks, who's a Skrull and who isn't. It seems like a shitload of people are Skrulls, but not Tony Stark and the other members of the Illuminati--along with Nick Fury and Spider-Woman. I imagine issue five of The Illuminati is going to be very important then as the members realise that OH FUCK EVERYONE'S A FUCKING SKRULL!

Until next week, magic eight ball you smug bastard.
