Well they don't have one on the New avengers team. Doctor strange got rid of that. He used a spell to see who is a skrull and who isn't. Non of them were. Spidy is definitely not a skrull because of his recent storyline.
Skrulls
Team » Skrulls appears in 1704 issues.
"They called themselves Skrulls! But, by any name, they were a band of the most dangerous menaces Earth had ever faced! They are able to change their appearances at will!"
Skrull-Watch '08!
Okay let's get this going. Who's a Skrull? We know that their plan is to have a Skrull on every team. So let's discuss this intelligently. That means don't just throw out random guesses. I want facts as to who you think has been acting skrully.

"Isn't that Captain America cover from during Heroes' Reborn?"
Maybe it is and maybe it isn't. Besides the Cap from Heroes Reborn had an eagle on his head and very large...pectorals.

Who says that Dr. Strange isn't a skrull? I mean here's a dude that just recently got a girlfriend (Night Nurse) after how many years? Besides his spell didn't pick up on the fact that Luke and Jessica's kid is a skrull.
Yay for finally having a dedicated thread for this. Well, grabbing from another thread, one of the writers or something said there is at least one Skrull and one Kree in the Ms. Marvel series. Ms. Invisible suggested Sum but I think he and his mysterious healing are a separate mystery. Since he can heal his whole body, his scar is puzzling, and if Skrulls could heal like he has shown, then Elektra wouldn't be dead. I could be wrong about him though. I think Ms. Marvel's PR lady could be a Skrull. Her position influencing Ms. Marvel and other heroes seems to fit better for taking over a world secretly. The boyfriend is another question mark.

That is true. But could skrulls make other skrulls have mystical powers? I know the baby has shown green eyes but does that make it 100% a skrull?

Yeah that's where I cropped the image from. But maaaaaybe that's why he died so easily. Maybe he was an improved Skrull so that when he died, he wouldn't revert to a dead Skrull but rahter a dead feeble old man.
It could be half Skrull. So maybe Cage is a Skrull or Jessica. Like Wolverine said, Luke used to go around being called "Power Man" and wore a satin shirt and tiara. All that's changed....
And the Skrulls have been doing some heavy duty genetic modifications. So who knows if they could somehow find a way to mimic mystical powers or maybe have some sort of high-tech device that could fake it. Who's to validate the realism of his magic. No one else in the New Avengers is a magic expert.
Copy says:
"Didn't johnny and that skrull girl have a baby? Wasn't the baby a egg before it was born? So I'm a little confuse with the whole Cage and Jessica baby being a skrull.And that could be true for the strange part."
From wiki:
"The "egg" was revealed, not to be their child, but rather a Skrull bio-weapon, which Lyja subsequently destroyed after it hatched. Johnny, enraged at being betrayed and deceived again by Lyja, broke things off with her again."

Okay. I didn't finish reading what happened to that entire thing. Did she know it was a weapon from the start?
kuchiku says:
"wait what are you guys saying jessicas baby was a skrull???!!"
The green glowing eyes would lead you to believe that. Whether or not she actually is...?
I'm thinking Stark isn't a Skrull but Jarvis is. He'd be the perfect mole.
The other question is, what happens to the "heroes" being replaced? Where's Elektra? Black Bolt? I find it hard to believe that a warrior race would just keep them safely locked up. The only reason would be if they needed to pry more information out of them to keep up the ruse.
i could be wrong but i cant see a skrull being any character with their own comic right now... so if i use new avengers for example... it cant be iron fist as it would completely screw up immortal iron fist. so to me that leaves everyone else who is only being written in a team. at a wild guess i wouldn't put it past luke cage to be a skrull or atleast jessica, if one of them were it would play a kind of homage to the old powerman and iron fist days when the red iron fist was a skrull.
Here's the panels before:
@kuchiku: There isn't going to be an invasion. It's already begun!

There'll probably be Skrulls impersonating minor characters and those guys will get killed off. More popular characters are most likely being held captive. They could have stories about those guys, maybe they attempt escapes, try to send warnings or defect even.

Yeah it's not like Marvel would mess with continuity (coughs One More Day coughs)
I think Echo could be another New Avengers Skrull. She never looks like she's really deaf, always talking to people who aren't looking at her and stuff. Maybe that's just an art thing though. The NA issue where they're all on the plane with Skrullektra and Wolverine is accusing everyone (even himself) is good fuel for speculation.
you know ..i just thought and i am not sure if someone already said this ..but ..what if MJ was a skrull and thats what she whispered into Mephisto's ear .....

Yes, but if they're not facing her, she can't read their lips can she?

you never know man ... it would be a good way to get a hero out of your way that is not apart of the 50 states if the chance presented itself .
When Echo "died" she could have been replaced. But why kill "Elektra"? Why would the Skrulls want to show their cards so early? Maybe to get the whole mistrust thing going. That way they lose their focus.
Oh and perhaps this explains that other storyline...
I think strange could potentially be a skrull! he's definately not what he use to be! and that whole magic "i've just done a spell and no one else is a skrull" is just too perfect of a cover! i'm sure there's at least one more if not more illuminati than blackbolt that got replaced! I honestly can't believe they'd kill off blackbolt, so I don't think he's dead, just held captive! but how do you hold someone like blackbolt captive for that amount of years?

i dont think so in the avengers he was stabed and killed by echo and didnt turn into a skrull but he was revived
Nobody says:
"Dr. Doom is a skrull."
Guess you didn't read the part where I asked for reasons rather than just random guesses.
Nobody says:
"kuchiku says:"Nobody says:He has been out of the picture for sometime now. And just recently he is shown appear around the time the skrull invasion is really kicking off. He is suppost to appear in the Mighty Avengers after Spider-Woman brings dead Elektra to Stark and#SPOILERS#They show him scheme at the end of the last issue of Thor. He is definitly planning some skrully activity that is going to bring the Heroes to his doorstep.""Dr. Doom is a skrull."how??"
Uhm, Dr. Doom's been in recent issues of Cap and Civil War. He had some "talks" with the Red Skull. So he's been around.
@zeroedge: That's Jazinda.
