This is thanks to Extremis abilities that she empowered herself before sensing the Russian colony of New Skrulos. When Gravik died, Gia’s wounds healed, and despite her disappointment with her father’s more idealistic hope that humans and Skrulls could still find a way to live in peace, she went to see her father. . As such, Gi’ah is poised to join the ranks of Nick Fury more directly in the last few episodes. secret invasionespecially after the game-changing end of Episode 4.
Although she is still at odds with her desire to give her people a new home, it is clear that Ji-A is no longer in favor of Gravik and his ruthless tactics.

As shown in previous episodes secret invasion In episode 4, now that Extremis has allowed Gravik to heal very quickly, killing the new champion Skrull will be very difficult. With her own powers, Gia has the best chance of stopping Gravik for good.
Roddy has finally been confirmed as a Skrull
as seen secret invasion In Episode 4, Colonel James “Roddy” Rhodes is finally revealed to be a Skrull agent working for Gravik. Thanks to her valuable relationship with President Ritson (Dermot Mulroney), the female Skrull posing as Roddy has certainly been providing Gravik with information about the US government for quite some time. However, it also confirms that Fury already knows the truth about Roddy, possibly because they are in secret invasion In episode 2, Fake Roddy calls him “Nick”. After all, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has a rule that no one calls Fury by name.
It is unclear where Roddy really is, or if he is still alive after being replaced by the Skrulls.

Gravik’s New Super Skrull Powers Explained
Has shown his desperate ability, first seen in Iron Man 3During a shootout between the US government protecting President Ritson and Skrulls posing as Russian soldiers, Gravik reveals his confirmed second power as the Marvel Universe’s first Super-Skrull. Gravik spreads his arms wide and becomes interlocking branches, his new powers coming from the plant giant Groot and the Guardians of the galaxy themselves. Apparently, Groot left a part of himself behind after the Battle of Wakanda, and the Skrulls collected Groot’s DNA for their Super-Skrull experiments.
As such, Groot is the equivalent of Gravik’s Super-Skrull ability from Mister Fantastic, replacing the official Fantastic Four that has yet to debut in the MCU. Similar to the first Super Skull in the original comics that had all the power of Marvel’s First Family, Extremis is clearly on par with the Human Torch.

Fury has no choice but to save Ritson from the bullets, and he flees the chaotic battle, leaving Talos dead in the final scene. secret invasion Episode 4.
While it’s also possible that Talos received some Extremis, that seems unlikely given how the New Skrulos could be locked in the wake of Gia’s betrayal as Fury and her father’s mole. . It’s also unlikely Gia impersonates her father during the Ritson rescue mission, as she left her father earlier in the episode, calling his optimism about Skrull and human coexistence “an illusion.” . It appears Talos is dead, leaving Gia in mourning, perhaps seeking revenge for her father when she learns of what Gravik did to him.
Where will the president’s anger go?
With Ritson in the passenger seat, Fury fled the killing zone as quickly as he could, but he had no idea where he was going with the President of the United States.
