History

Betrayal of Reed Richards

Hank Pym was replaced and impersonated by a member of the shape-shifting alien race known as the Skrulls, as part of their plot to invade and takeover the planet Earth.

He was first replaced after the mass breakout at the Raft. Around the same time, while living in Italy, Pym and his ex-wife Janet van Dyne were going through problems and had a rough separation. The same night, Pym sought solace in a young student, who turned out to be an undercover Skrull. Feigning adulation for his past work, the Skrull drew all of the information Pym and the human race knew about the Skrulls, then using the powers of the Hulk, knocked him unconscious and delivered him to the Skrull Empire where he was replaced by a female Skrull who took his shape.

However, the Skrull agent did not adjust well to the transformation, and was hunted down by the Dum Dum Dugan infiltrator and a cadre of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Crit Noll was selected to become the next Hank Pym replacement. As Pym, Criti Noll infiltrated the Initiative.

Criti Noll revealed himself to Reed Richards when the latter dissected the corpse of Pagon, the Elektra impostor, and discovered how the Skrulls were able to avoid detection. Before he could disseminate the information to any other heroes Skrull-Pym shot Richards with a gun that left him unable to become solid.

Later, when hordes of "Super-Skrulls" appeared in New York, Skrull-Pym sent members of the Initiative to fight against the invading forces.

However, when many heroes and villains united against the Skrull threat, a massive battle began in Central Park. Increasing his size, Noll attempted to kill Janet but was punched out silly by an even larger Stature. But when it was obvious that the Skrull would lose, Noll used a secret codeword to activate a chemical in Janet's growth formula, causing her to enlarge and emit purple energy: if the Skrulls can't have Earth, not one can. However, with great regrets, Thor turned the energy onto Janet herself, vowing to avenge her. The very angry humans then finished off the Skrulls, killing Veranke and detaining many Skrulls. However, Noll had escaped capture. But unlike many of the other Skrulls, who had decided to give up, Noll refused to give up and swore that the Empire would return one day. He activated Ragnorak to cause chaos around at Camp Hammond.

After the battle between Earth's heroes and villains and the Skrulls, Criti Noll attempted to escape but was noticed by Crusader (Z'Reg). Crusader chased Criti Noll and defeated the impostor before he could open a portal to the Negative Zone to destroy Earth a second time.

Notes

  • Criti Noll was the second Skrull to assume Hank Pym's identity. This was revealed in Mighty Avengers #17. He was revealed to the reader to be a Skrull in Secret Invasion #1.
  • Impersonating Hank Pym allowed the Skrulls' access to Ultron, which allowed them to find out that Tony Stark's Iron Man armor was now "organic" thanks to Extremis and they could use that to their advantage.
