The one exception was a particularly nasty chap named "Grotesk" who sought vengeance for his slaughtered people and tried to achieve by killing Professor Xavier, the leader of the X-Men. At that time the X-Men thought Professor X was indeed slain and the team eventually broke up for a brief time. But soon they learned that another mutant named "Changeling" had substituted himself for Xavier while the latter prepared for a massive alien invasion.
It is suggested in some sources that the "Golden People" first and only seen in Marvel Super-Heroes #19 in a Ka-Zar story are a remnant of the Gortokians.
Next time it's the ultimate Deviant deviation when we head into deepest space with the Skrulls.
Rip Off
Personally I don't see any advantage to re-thinking the Skrulls as Celestial creations. It's one thing to do that with a tossoff "lost race" like the Gortokians, and I could see someone doing the same with that equally disposable lizard-race from MS. MARVEL. But the Skrulls have their own Marvel history, so I'd rather the new guys would have left the big-eared galoots alone.
ReplyDeleteIt's always tricky when they ret-con something that has such a rich background because it often creates as many problems as it seemingly solves.
