All The Biggest Hidden Easter Eggs in the MCU Spy Series
Aug 9, 2023
The invasion has come to an end with the recent series finale of Marvel’s Secret Invasion, where the master spy Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) must stop the Skrulls led by Gravik (Kingsley Ben-Adir) from thrusting the world into war to destroy humanity.
In a whole season filled with shocking reveals, unexpected turns, and big twists, there were also many hidden Easter eggs in all the episodes. All the secrets uncovered in this show will make you a Marvel conspiracy theorist. So here are all the biggest Easter eggs in Secret Invasion.
Fury’s Wife Was Foreshadowed Earlier in the MCU
Marvel Studios
The biggest shock of the whole series, and arguably in the whole phase, was the reveal that Nick Fury not only had a wife for decades but that Priscilla Fury (Charlayne Woodard) is actually a Skrull with the birth name of Varra.
While this seemed like a totally unpredictable twist that came out of nowhere, Fury’s wife was foreshadowed earlier in the MCU, in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, when Fury is talking to Steve Rogers/Captain America, he says “My wife kicked me out,” as what many thought at the time was a throwaway line because he was talking in code, meaning “Hydra has locked me out of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Though it’s possible that since Fury couldn’t get in S.H.I.E.L.D., he tried going home, but Vaara wasn’t having it and sent him packing. With Varra scolding Fury for not wearing his wedding ring, we can assume that it wouldn’t be surprising if she kicked out at some point. In the Ultimate Avengers comics, Fury actually cheated on his wife Monica several times, so it fits Fury.
The Skrull Emperor Drogge
Marvel Comics
Fury’s Skrull ally and friend Talos mentions just how many Skrulls are living on Earth, as over a million have come during the Blip, and all the rest went to Emperor Drogge’s colony.
While there has never been a Skrull ruler by the name of Drogge, there was the brilliant Skrull scientist Dro’ge Fenu Edu from the New Avengers comics who helped the Skrulls gain the powers of The Fantastic Four to create super Skrulls.

Sonya Could Be Descended From a Howling Commando
Marvel Studios
Fury’s grudging ally in the series is Sonya Falsworth (Olivia Colman). Fury’s MI6 equivalent is an original character created for Secret Invasion without any basis in the Marvel comics, but her last name is familiar.
Sonya shares a last name with James Falsworth, a character from the comics who takes on the mantle of the superhero Union Jack, the British equivalent of Captain America. Observant fans will know that James Falsworth has already appeared in the MCU as one of Steve Roger’s Howling Commandos in Captain America: The First Avenger. Some fans predict that Sonya may become the MCU’s Union Jack, and given how well fans responded to her, we might see that coming true.
Widow’s Veil
Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
When Fury is on the run from the whole world, being framed by Gravik for a deadly bombing and for killing Maria Hill, he must sneak out of Russia to meet with Sonya. Fury uses a holographic mesh to cover his face in order to get into Finland and sneak past the authorities.
It’s the same technology we’ve seen used by Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow first in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the Black Widow. Fury uses the same technology called the Widow Veil, as Sonya notes, also stating that it’s pretty old because as smart as this technology is, it can’t give the bald-headed Fury any hair; for that, he needs to wear a good old-fashioned wig and some gloves to cover his hands.
Rick Mason Helps Fury
Marvel Studios
Before Fury got to Finland, he needed his tools to get something special called the Harvest, and he needed a little help. He got that help while on a plane from an obscure character named Rick Mason (O-T Fegbenle), who gives him the tools he needs to get in and out.
Of course, we know that Rick was the very same pilot that provided Natasha Romanoff the same services during the events of the Black Widow.

First Super Serum
Marvel Studios
Gravik wanted to take over Earth but knew he would face significant threats like the Avengers. To counter them, he wants to make super Skrulls to fend them off. He uses a few DNA samples of other creatures and, with a special machine, embeds them into his own DNA to gain the abilities of the creatures.
At first, he only has a few from Extremis, Groot, and a frost beast. Gravik gains the strength of a frost beast Thor, the ever-growing wooden arms of Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy, and, most useful, the regenerative abilities of nanotech Extremis, which allows him to survive even bullets to the face from Iron Man 3. With these powers, this is how Gravik becomes the top Skrull.

But Gravik isn’t satisfied with these few powers; he wants all he can get. He goes after the Harvest, which contains the DNA of the Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy, Children of Thanos, and many more creatures we’ve seen throughout the MCU.
We see in the finale when he finally gets his hands on the Harvest and powers himself up, he also accidentally empowers G’iah (Emilia Clarke), Talos’s daughter, and they go head-to-head in a battle using all the powers of any hero or villain you can think of.
