Warning: full spoilers for Marvel Studios’ Secret Invasion series on Disney+ ahead!

The finale of Marvel’s Secret Invasion series on Disney+ features a super-powered brawl between the villainous Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) and a vengeful G'iah (Emilia Clarke), so we’re laying out exactly what powers these Super-Skrulls were infused with and which MCU heroes and villains they came from.

Both Gravik and G'iah were already Super Skrulls with the powers of Extremis and Flora Colossus/Groot – a nod to the fiery and stretch powers of the original comic book Super-Skrull who had the abilities of the Fantastic Four – but thanks to Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) deciding to give Gravik the Harvest as part of his master plan to avoid all-out war, they were both enhanced with dozens more. Fury revealed that the Harvest is a collection of DNA from everyone who spilled blood during the final battle of Avengers: Endgame, where pretty much every MCU hero gathered to stop Thanos – a conflict that became known as the Battle of Earth, according to Fury.

When Gravik scans the Harvest, a computer screen quickly runs through a list of everyone’s DNA it contains, so here’s a list of every super power of the MCU Super Skrull.

For those just looking for a quick list, here's every known power and every name shown to be part of the Harvest:

  • Flora Colossus (Groot)
  • Korg
  • Frost Beast
  • Hulk
  • Captain Marvel
  • Mantis
  • Thanos
  • Cull Obsidian
  • Extremis
  • Ebony Maw
  • Captain America
  • Ghost
  • Winter Soldier
  • Drax
  • Corvus Glaive
  • Abomination
  • Proxima Midnight
  • Outrider
  • Chitauri
  • Valkyrie
  • Thor Odinson
  • Gamora

Below is a look at all of these new Super Skrull powers in action, including powers from the Avengers, Black Order and the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Flora Colossus (Groot)

As Gravik prepares for the initial clash with G'iah, one of his arms is made of Groot’s thick, mossy vines, and during the battle he extends it into a whip-like weapon.

Abomination

Gravik’s other arm transforms into that of Abomination, the scaly, muscular brute with strength comparable to the Hulk. Even his ear turns into one of Abomination’s signature head-fins.

Drax

In what is easily the most unintentionally humorous moment of the battle, G'iah flexes her arm as it turns into the signature red-and-green arm of Drax the Destroyer.

Ghost

Ghost has the power to phase through solid matter, and we see G'iah use it at the start of the battle to avoid getting smashed with a car.

Korg

Gravik swaps out his Abomination arm for the rocky arm of Korg, the alien gladiator befriended by Thor on Sakaar.

Frost Beast

G'iah channels the power of the Frost Beast to make a deadly ice blade sprout from her hand. There were no Frost Beasts at the Battle of Earth, but remember that Gravik was harvesting powerful DNA from other sources before he got his hands on the Harvest. We first saw the Frost Beast on the visit to Jotunheim in the first Thor movie.

Ebony Maw

When Gravik gets pinned, he transforms his arm into that of Ebony Maw of the Black Order and uses his telekinesis to knock G’iah away with a flying rock.

Hulk

Gravik turns one of his legs into a Hulk leg, which he uses to send G'iah flying. When G'iah surprised Gravik at the start of the battle, she used a Hulk arm to knock him into the sky.

Cull Obsidian

G'iah transforms her arm into the black scaly arm of Cull Obsidian, granting her immense strength.

Thanos

As Gravik charges towards G'iah, we see he’s sporting a purple Thanos arm. Even without the Infinity Stones Thanos was able to dominate the Hulk with pure strength, so that arm can definitely pack a punch.

Captain Marvel

Gravik and G'iah light up with energy and take their battle into the sky as they both channel the incredible power of Captain Marvel.

Mantis

While flying through the air, G'iah gets overpowered by Gravik and decides to sprout Mantis’s antennas and make Gravik fall asleep mid-flight, causing him to plummet to the ground.

Extremis

When Gravik gets to his feet we see he’s covered in grievous wounds, but he uses the previously-acquired Extremis power to heal up, Wolverine-style. But turns out not even the Extremis healing abilities are enough to heal from getting a hole blown through your chest, which is what G'iah does to Gravik to end the fight.

Those are the only powers put on display during the fight, but even more Harvest names were listed on the computer screen, so here’s the rest of the DNA rattling around in G'iah’s new Super Skrull body.

Captain America

Winter Soldier

Corvus Glaive

Proxima Midnight

Outrider

Chitauri

Valkyrie

Thor Odinson

Gamora
