- "It's Gravik. The Council just voted him General. He has control of our people and our future."

The Skrull Council is the government of the Skrulls.
History[]
Kree-Skrull War[]
The Skrull Council was originally based on Skrullos and oversaw decisions of the Skrull race. However, when Skrullos was destroyed by the Kree during the genocidal Kree-Skrull War, the surviving Skrulls fled across the galaxy, blending in with native populations of other planets using their shapeshifting abilities. Among the surviving members of the Skrull Council was its leader, Talos, who led a faction of Skrull refugees.[1]
In 1997, Talos invited eighteen other Skrulls, including members of the Council, to join him on Earth, where they began working as personal spies for Nick Fury in exchange for Fury working with Carol Danvers to find the Skrulls a new home planet. In addition, the Council was also tasked with overseeing that continued peace was maintained between the Skrulls and humankind.[2]
Secret Invasion[]
Talos' Dismissal[]
- "Gravik is now the newest member of the Skrull Council. He preys on the collective rage of young, displaced Skrulls."
- ―Maria Hill[src]
Around three decades later, with Nick Fury having failed to deliver on his promise of finding the Skrulls a new home, the Council kicked Talos off and decided to live on Earth permanently by kidnapping and impersonating humans. Gravik soon joined the Council and recruited young Skrulls who were angry at being displaced in order to fuel his plans to eliminate humanity entirely.[3]
Gravik's Leadership[]
- "We need to streamline our chain of command. Democracy is fine for peacetime, but whilst at war, we need a single commander whose war power is total and unchecked."
"My God!"
"Therefore, I nominate Gravik to the post of Skrull General." - ―Pamela Lawton Skrull and Shirley Sagar Skrull[src]

Learning of Super-Skrulls[]
- "Members of the Council. Glad you could make it on short notice. Now at the council meeting, I told you I had a plan for taking Earth as our own. I sent three operatives to infiltrate the Royal Navy. And execute a strike on a key United Nations target. The heroes of Earth will react. The only way we can counter that and claim this planet as our home is to become super ourselves."
