Fictional character biography

Pagon was a lover of Veranke who went alongside several Skrulls to assist Siri, but his allies were killed so Pagon utilized the powers of Invisible Woman, Colossus and the Thing to severely blindside Elektra who he impersonated.[4] His infiltration as the leader of the Hand and Hydra resulted in arranging the Raft's breakout, and harassing the X-Men.[5] [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 Skrull Empire's conspiracy with Earth.[8] An autopsy on Pagon's body was done for Iron Man, Mister Fantastic and Criti Noll.[9]
