Veranke
Veranke is a supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The queen of the Skrull Empire, first introduced under the guise of Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew), she is the main antagonist of Secret Invasion in which she leads her empire to invade and conquer Earth.
Veranke's first official appearance is in Secret Invasion #1, but was disguised as "Spider-Woman" in New Avengers #1 while her character is named and fleshed out in New Avengers #40.
Veranke was a Skrull princess who scolded Emperor Dorrek VII from the Tyeranx 7 province after the Illuminati escape from the Skrull palace for not heeding the words of the Skrull prophecies, which state the attack upon the palace will be followed by the Skrull homeworld's destruction, the coming of a "wave of devastation" through Skrull space, and the need to take "a world of blue" as their new home. As Dorrek VII ignores her warnings, Veranke declares if Dorrek VII is unable to heed the writings of the Skrull's scriptures and the Skrull people's will, then he is not fit to rule. For her defiance, Dorrek VII banishes her to a prison planet, brushing her off as an insane fanatic and a traitor.
Years later, the Skrull throneworld is destroyed by Galactus; believing that only Veranke can lead them, the Skrulls rescue her from exile and she is anointed as their Queen. Veranke declares that the scriptures foretell Earth as the Skrull's new homeland, thus the Skrulls undergo a major operation to take over Earth through infiltrating Earth's facets, thereby weakening Earth enough to employ a military invasion to conquer the planet. To set an example for her people, Veranke also decides to participate in the invasion and asks which of Earth's heroes would be ideal for her to impersonate. Jessica Drew / Spider-Woman is recommended as the prime choice thanks to Skrulls posing as HYDRA agents having learned of her status of a double agent of Nick Fury.
After successfully assuming Drew's identity, Veranke takes up the latter's new position at the Raft and was stationed there when Electro unleashed a mass break-out attempt of the prisoners inside. This event unintentionally led to the New Avengers's reformation, which she later joins after Steve Rogers / Captain America offers membership to her. Fury instructs her to continue working for him as a personal agent, now within the New Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., and HYDRA simultaneously; she eventually confesses this triple agent arrangement to the Avengers.
During an adventure with the New Avengers, Veranke learns of her rule's greatest threat: Dorrek VIII / Hulkling of the Young Avengers and the son of the Kree hero Mar-Vell and the Skrull princess Anelle who is a likely heir to the throne. During the invasion, she orders Dorrek VIII to be executed; unbeknownst to her, he survives.
During the House of M storyline, it was revealed that Veranke, along with all the other undercover Skrulls, knew that the world had been altered. She tries to assassinate the Wanda Maximoff / Scarlet Witch but is unsuccessful and deconstructed in a way similar to Clint Barton; both come back afterward. In the aftermath, news reaches her that the Skrull Empire itself has almost entirely been destroyed by the Annihilation Wave, killing billions of Skrulls and fulfilling another tenet of the prophecy. Distressed by the realization that they are now all that is left of the Empire's legions, Veranke and her agents are more determined to continue their takeover of Earth.
Soon after Peter Parker / Spider-Man's identity is revealed to the world during the Civil War storyline, Tony Stark / Iron Man discloses her triple agent status to Maria Hill. Troubled by her potentially treasonous allegiance to Fury, Hill orders her apprehension. While disguised as Sybil Dvorak, she is captured and taken aboard a S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier. Deploying an EMP, a HYDRA commando team disables the Helicarrier and rescues her. She makes her way to the hidden base of Captain America's Secret Avengers and pleads to join the resistance, having lost her connection to S.H.I.E.L.D. and Fury.
