Fictional character biography
Kl'rt the Super-Skrull is from the Skrull world of Tarnax IV (in the Tarnax system of the Andromeda Galaxy), which has been destroyed by Galactus. He was a decorated soldier in the army and married a Skrull countess from the planet Zaragz'na and had two children, his beloved son named Sarnogg and a daughter named Jazinda whom he despised.[4] Because of his duty, he was kept away from his family and after the defeats outnumbered his victories, he was banished from Zaragz'na and was not allowed to see his son due to his wife.[5]

Skrull emperor Dorrek VII devised a way to strike back against the Fantastic Four who thwarted the Skrull Empire's invasion of Earth.[6] Dorrek chose the warrior Kl'rt who was given the combined abilities of the Fantastic Four. Kl'rt was stronger than the Thing, had superior flight and greater pyrokinetic ability than the Human Torch, had better control of invisibility and force fields than the Invisible Woman, and could stretch further than Mister Fantastic. The Super-Skrull retained his shapeshifting and hypnotic abilities, and was sent to Earth to defeat the Fantastic Four and pave the way for a new Skrull Empire invasion.
