Publication history
editPagon was created by Brian Michael Bendis and David Finch, and debuted as a cameo in The New Avengers #1 (December 2004) before appearing with a full appearance in New X-Men vol. 2 #13 (May 2005); the character impersonated Elektra as a lead-in to the Secret Invasion storyline.[3]
Fictional character biography
editPagon 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 Skrulls' conspiracy towards Earth.[8] An autopsy on Pagon's body was done by Iron Man and Mister Fantastic.[9]
Powers and abilities
