Fictional character biography
[edit]Pagon was a War-Skrull and a lover of Veranke. Pagon utilized the powers of Invisible Woman, Colossus and the Thing to severely blindside Elektra who he impersonated (due to Siri's death).[4] His infiltration as the leader of the Hand and Hydra resulted in arranging the Raft's breakout,[5] and harassing the X-Men.[6] Pagon kills, resurrects and imprisons Maya Lopez to use as a weapon before the New Avengers rescue his victim who stabs the Skrull to death.[7] Pagon's death was a planned major "reveal" of the Skrulls' conspiracy towards Earth.[8] An autopsy on Pagon's body was done by Iron Man and Mister Fantastic.[9]
