WIZARD UNIVERSE PRESENTS: HAS YOUR CHILD BEEN REPLACED BY A SKRULL?

The Parent's Guide to Discovering if Your Child has been Replaced by a Skrull!

WIZARD UNIVERSE PRESENTS: HAS YOUR CHILD BEEN REPLACED BY A SKRULL?
In preparation for Skrulls vs. Power Pack #1, WizardUniverse.com has compiled these sure-fire ways to tell if your child has been replaced by an agent of the Skrull empire.

1. Your child looks at the most recent ToyFare and asks why they would make an action figure out of K'rltz R'lzrta, the janitor of the Kentucky Fried Richards on the homeworld.
2. Your child responds to, "How was your day at school?" with "BOW BEFORE YOUR MASTER, HUMAN!"
3. Your child addresses every cow he or she passes with, "Soon, my brothers. Soon, you shall be avenged."
4. When your child says, "He loves you," you get the feeling he or she is not referring to anybody you know.
5. When your child plays with Transformers, he or she thinks it's "pathetic that these primitive playthings can only shift into two objects."
6. For your child's birthday party, he or she requested a "Pin-the-torture-device-on-Reed-Richards party game."
7. Your child is green (ignore if your child has been exposed to a massive amount of Gamma Radiation).
8. When you ask your child to hand you your keys, he or she becomes unstable, yelling, "Kree? There are Kree in your domicile? I shall destroy you, traitor to the empire!"
9. Your child's favorite movie is "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," but he or she makes comments during the movie saying, "Why didn't we think of that?"
10. Your child is changing all the time. Literally.

Go by these ten simple guidelines, and you will be sure to figure out if your beloved child is a Skrull. We were able to catch up with Alex, Julie, Jack, and Katie Power to talk about their upcoming mini-series, Skrulls vs. Power Pack. See if you can use our guidelines to discover if there's anything…odd going on with the Power Pack!


WIZARD: So, what's going on in your lives right now?

JACK: Well, our dad just got a job with this agency, S.W.O.R.D., which is strange because I didn't know he had any training as a blacksmith. I hope he brings me home a "Stormbringer!"

ALEX: S.W.O.R.D. doesn't have anything to do with actual swords, stupe. It's the planetary defense agency.

JULIE: Yeah, it stands for "Sentient World Observation and Response Department."

JACK: Dude!! Can he bring us "Alien Autopsy?!?!"

KATIE: I hope our Paternal Unit brings to the family domicile shiny files for us to deploy during our designated "play dates..." Shiny, defense files marked "Classified! Do not let alien invaders read under any circumstances..."


WIZARD: What do you guys think of Secret Invasion?

JULIE: Ssssshhh!!

JACK: Nice, Wizard guy. Nice.

ALEX: They call it a "Secret" Invasion for a reason...

KATIE: Wait... Just a second... [whips out notepad and pencil] There. You may continue.


WIZARD: Who's your favorite Super Hero to work with?

JACK: Human Torch!

ALEX: Mr. Fantastic!

JULIE: The Invisible Woman!

KATIE: Of course the mighty Kl'rt, the Super-Skrull! His mansion on Skrull World Satriani is covered with the skulls of the Kree and human scum that have fallen to his nova blasts and orange-rocky-stretchy-invisible fists!


WIZARD: Which one of you has the coolest fight scene in Skrulls vs. Power Pack?

JACK: I do.

ALEX: Nuh-uh, me!

JULIE: Pfft. I fight better than both of you, and I'm a girl. Definitely me.

KATIE: The Skrulls.


WIZARD: How's Franklin Richards doing? Is he still hanging out with you guys?

JACK: Yeah, he's joined the team under the code-name "Smarty Pants." His dad, Mr. Fantastic, gave him these special pants with unstable molecule pockets that pop out whatever crazy gizmos and gadgets he needs! It makes him almost as cool as me.

KATIE: I just want to know why I was not allowed to vote on allowing the diseased spawn of genocidal war criminal Reed Richards to join our prepubescent paramilitary squadron?

ALEX: You were at the meeting. Don't you remember? You wanted to vote in a pony.

KATIE: Yes... A pony...


WIZARD: What's in the future for the Power Pack?

JACK: We're going to team-up with Wolverine next!

ALEX: And, after that, well, we're hoping for something a little more long-term... as in long-term series...

JULIE: My Home Ec teacher helped me bake Joe Quesada cookies. A little bribery never hurts!

KATIE: WE SHALL SERVE OUR NEW SKRULL OVERLORDS WITH HONOR! If... [cough]... if it comes to that, I mean...


WIZARD: What are you going to do to the Skrulls when you find them?

JACK: Piledrive 'em on the head with 60 pounds of concentrated Mass Master!

JULIE: Ram 'em at Lightspeed!

ALEX: Send 'em into the atmosphere with Zero-G!

KATIE: I will give them a pony.
