Powers/Abilities: Skreeal is a giant creature, and as such possesses superhuman strength. It can also fly due to the oddly-shaped wings that are attached from its forearms to its hips.
History: (Fantastic Four I#347) - After a crew
of Skrulls arrived on Earth in search of the rogue De'Lila, they landed
on Monster Island. There, they decided to flush their prey out of
hiding by taking control of the various creatures they encountered on
the island and transporting them across the world to wreck havoc.
One of the mutates they put under their control via neural disruptors
was Skreeal, who was transported away from Monster Island with the
rest of the mutates.
(Fantastic Four I#348) - Transported to Washington,
D.C., Skreeal attacked a passenger airliner, but was confronted by
the newly formed "replacement" Fantastic Four. Their attack
drove him away from the plane, and they followed him back to Monster
Island.
(Silver Surfer/Warlock: Resurrection#1) - As Pip the
Troll welcomed the Silver Surfer to Monster Island, Skreeal could be
seen roaming the air over the isle.
(Sensational Spider-Man I#13) - Skreeal was among the
Monster Island creatures that fled when Chtylok awoke.
SECRET WARS III HAPPENED
(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#8) - Tricephalous, Skreeal and Giganto joined Mole Man in confronting Squirrel Girl about sending Kraven the Hunter to their doorstep.
(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#9) - Skreeal watched as Tricephalous protected Mole Man from Squirrel Girl. The monsters and Squirrel Girl then listened to Mole Man's explanation for his attack on Squirrel Girl. She felt sorry for sending Kraven to Subterranea and Mole Man agreed to not attack the surface anymore. The deal fell through when Squirrel Girl did not accept Mole Man's proposal of marriage.
Comments: Created by Walter Simonson, Art Adams and Art Thibert.
The creature that the Mole Man rides in Fantastic Four/Iron Man: Big in Japan#4 is called a Skreeal, although it looks nothing like the creature profiled here.
