History:  (Avengers Annual I#14) - After defeating Nebula and her crewmen, the Avengers were escorted via a Skrull escort ship piloted by Maj. Syrro. They redezvous-ed with Starfox in his Titanian starship and warped through subspace. Upon returning to normal speed, the Avengers were shocked to see World War I biplanes flying in space. Maj. Syrro quickly informed them that the planes stemmed from the Skrull colony on Kral, who patterned their culture on the American 1930s. The Titanian ship and escort ship docked within a Kral mothership patterned after a giant zeppelin, where the Skrulls inside attacked the Avengers. Their attack was quickly broken off by the head of the zeppelin (called the Big Casino), a Skrull calling himself Floyd Donahue. Major Syrro quickly yelled at Donahue, claiming that he was under direct order to conduct the Avengers to the Imperial Power Asteroid (where a weapon was being constructed) and then accused Donahue of delaying them. Donahue calmed Syrro and explained that there was somewhere aboard the Big Casino that he ought to meet. Donahue then led the Avengers and Syrro into a back room and introduced them to Prince Dezan. Shocked that Donahue was harboring Dezan, who was considered a criminal by the Skrull Empire, Syrro explained Dezan's history to the Avengers and then met with Raksor, the Skrull who had freed Dezan in the first place. The two argued over Dezan being taken to the Imperial Power Asteroid until they were broken up by Starfox, who announced that a small group  like the Avengers could easily gain entry into the Asteroid. The Avengers eventually agreed and an hour later, the Big Casino arrived at the Imperial Power Asteroid. The Big Casino then sent the Spirit of Coolidge plane out in a bluff, claiming that they had another shipment of power stones for the Asteroid. Syrro remained onboard the Big Casino while the Avengers battled the Skrulls in the Asteroid and met up with the Fantastic Four. At the climax of the battle, Zabyk, the head of the Skrulls in the Asteroid, set off the Hyperwave Bomb that destroyed the gene in Skrulls that allowed them to change shape. Following Zabyk's defeat, the Avengers returned to the Titanian starship, where Syrro radioed a report to General Zedrao about the Hyperwave Bomb.

While most, if not all, of the Skrulls in this profile had shapeshifting abilities, it was not exactly revealed which were affected by the Hyperwave Bomb. Presumably, all of them lost their abilities, but it was never shown.
