Powers/Abilities: G'illian Blax'zthor possesses shape-shifting powers like all members of the Skrull race but her mutant powers increase her abilities, allowing her to grow smaller, bigger and stretch over greater distances than most Skrulls. She also has the power to disguise herself against the sight of other Skrulls. G'illian has been seen to transform into inanimate objects (such as lamp posts, vases of flowers and taxi cabs) for extended periods of time, as well as into human form, squirrel form and winged Skrull form. In addition, she has kept a part of herself as an underwater cage for days and has hidden objects within her own form, as well as growing springs within her own legs to jump high.

She also has some military training.

History: (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#40 (fb)) – G'illian Blax'zthor grew up on a polluted Skrull planet knowing she was expected to be a soldier when she grew up. As a young girl, she discovered she was a mutant, able to control her transformations more than others, and also to grow bigger and smaller, or to stretch farther than many other Skrulls, as well as to disguise her changed forms from other Skrulls. After getting teased in her youth, she learned to hide her abilities but she was eventually sent to Earth as a soldier. On Earth, G'illian immediately defected during the battle, changing herself into a lamppost and waiting for the Skrulls to lose the war. In time, after observing humans for months, G'illian decided to live as a squirrel, stealing candy bars to survive. One day, she observed Squirrel Girl introducing Nancy Whitehead to many of her squirrel friends, including Samantha and all her friends. Inspired by Squirrel Girl, she chose to take on a human identity, that of Gillian Blythe, but she found it difficult to blend in. Monitoring Skrull stations using a radio she'd brought to Earth with her, she found out she'd been discovered missing (while doing a roll call for other Skrulls, including D'rango Y. and others) and that they were sending an armada to Earth to find her. Desperate, G'illian posed as Squirrel Girl (shifting springs inside her legs when she needed to jump high) and decided to fake her death, theorizing that the real Squirrel Girl would soon reveal she was alive and the Skrulls would assume G'illian was dead.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#37 (fb) – BTS) – "Squirrel Girl" teamed up with the Avengers (Black Panther/T'Challa, Captain America/Steve Rogers, Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers, Iron Man/Tony Stark, She-Hulk/Jennifer Walters, Thor/Thor Odinson) against the extradimensional threat of the Octobliterator. "Squirrel Girl" talked to the squirrel Milena during the battle then sacrificed herself to save civilians, allowing the world to believe that Squirrel Girl was dead.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#40 (fb) – BTS) – G'illian was baffled when Squirrel Girl didn't reveal she was alive right away. Knowing the Skrulls were still coming, she posed as a vase of flowers at Squirrel Girl's scheduled funeral.


(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#37 – BTS) – When Squirrel Girl's funeral was held at Mort L. Coil's Funeral Home, footage of the Octoliberator's battle with "SG" was shown.


(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#40 (fb) – BTS) – G'illian tracked Squirrel Girl and Nancy Whitehead, posing as a taxi cab and seeing them enter Stark Tower for a meeting with Iron Man. Later, she posed as Bethany Cabe to sneak in then captured Iron Man himself, keeping him in a flesh-form cage in the river while she posed as Iron Man himself.


(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#38 – BTS) – "Iron Man" called Squirrel Girl and Nancy Whitehead to inform them that there was no Skrull problem but used the wrong code word, earning their suspicion.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#40 (fb) – BTS) – G'illian questioned the artificial intelligence Databus and learned about the true code word.


(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#38) – When Nancy Whitehead and Doreen Green arrived back at Stark Tower, "Tony" used the right code word to reassure them but then they realized that "Tony" didn't know Doreen was Squirrel Girl's secret identity. Squirrel Girl attacked "Tony," who tried a number of things to get them back on his side. When SG kept attacking, "Tony" put on the Iron Man armor then ordered Databus to attack.


(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#39) – Databus openly fired weapons into the room until Squirrel Girl and Nancy yelled out commands that overwhelmed his computational systems, slowing Databus down. When SG pressured her enough, she tricked "Tony" into revealing "himself" as a female Skrull. When they threatened to expose G'illian, she lashed out in fear, saying she must remain a secret, then flew away. SG tried jumping out after her but fell several stories to the ground below. Koi Boi found Iron Man in the underwater cage and poked it then tracked it back to G'illian. Squirrel Girl, Tippy-Toe with an army of squirrels, Chipmunk Hunk, Koi Boi, Brain Drain, Nancy Whitehead and Mary Mahajan showed up to confront her. G'illian released Tony Stark then told the heroes to listen to her or the Earth would be in danger.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#40) – G'illian explained to the heroes about her origins and they surprised her by wanting to help her drive the Skrulls away and give her refuge, though Squirrel Girl had to convince Iron Man to trust G'illian. They held a press conference, stating that it had been a Skrull posing as Squirrel Girl who had been killed and this information was enough to drive the Skrull invasion away. Iron Man got "Gillian Blythe" a job at Stark Unlimited then they introduced her to Tara Tam, a human with Skrull powers.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#49) - When Squirrel Girl was overwhelmed facing many of her enemies at once, many of her allies showed up all at once to aid her, including the giant Tree Lobster, Kraven the Hunter, Rhino, Ratatoskr, Ms. Chloe, Sentinel X-42903-22, G'illian Blax'zthor, Hippo, Sootori, Chef Bear, Alfredo the Chicken, Mole Man and the Chrrt-Chuk alien race.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#50) - Galactus showed up to de-escalate the conflict and then sent all the operatives home, including G'illian Blax'zthor.

(Secret Invasion II#3 (fb) - BTS) - G'illian, now using the name Gillian, took a job working for Tony Stark. In time, he began letting her operate the Iron Man armor for small missions like saving cats from trees, then some larger missions like stopping purse-snatchers. In time, Iron Man began hiring other Skrulls and giving them armors to use for heroic acts, while monitoring them carefully.

(Secret Invasion II#1-2 (fb) - BTS) - Gillian became aware that Maria Hill was hunting for Skrulls using a blood test, and Iron Man gave her and her Skrull/Iron Man allies bloodpacks to use to fool the test.

(Secret Invasion II#3) - Stark revealed to Hill that Gillian and other Skrulls had been operating in Iron Man armors, and Hill was furious. After verifying Tony was real, Maria ignored his entreaties and opened fire on his Skrull allies.

(Secret Invasion II#5 (fb)) - Having tested the Skrulls, Maria offered to work with Gillian and her allies, including T'idd. T'idd posed as Maria while Gillian posed as a pile of Skrull corpses.

(Secret Invasion II#4) - "Hill" dumped the corpses of Gillian and her friends in front of one of her Skrull captives, Sister Talionis. A Skrull Iron Man attacked and allowed Talionis to escape, taking "Hill" with her.

(Secret Invasion II#5) - After Talionis revealed her secret plots, Gillian and her allies went with Hill and other heroes, including the Avengers, Squirrel Girl, Dr. Strange, and Black Widow, to defeat the Skrull threat. Later, Gillian and her allies were offered a job by Nick Fury Jr.

Databus

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#38 (fb) – BTS) – Tony Stark designed a new simpler A.I. that he called Databus, making the program a simple executive assistant without sentience.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#38) – When Nancy Whitehead came to visit, Tony told her about Databus then Databus recorded a conversation about Squirrel Girl's real identity, deleting the data when Stark ordered it. They had Databus generate a code word, "voluble," that they could use to determine identity as they worked together. When Squirrel Girl attacked "Tony" (secretly the Skrull G'illian Blax'zthor), "Tony" put on the Iron Man armor then ordered Databus to attack.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#39) – Databus openly fired weapons into the room until Squirrel Girl and Nancy yelled out commands that overwhelmed his computational systems, slowing Databus down.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#43) – Iron Man tasked Databus with helping him create a better armor.

(Power Pack IV#2 – BTS) – After Power Pack asked Tony to be their mentor and he turned them down, Tony asked Databus to remind him to send the team a gift basket later.
