so in whatever book it is where danny+peter+luke+jess drew are on the avengers, right after steve and tony reform the team right after the raft, jess drew is actually VERANKE, the skrull queen, that whole time, and there is an entire arc you can read that shows that there's this ritual that happens to give them memories. some skrulls don't even know they're skrulls! it seems like only the really high-level ones get to know what's going on. I think it's new avengers? it's pre-secret invasion, and some of the issues i'm thinking of definitely take place during house of M. lemme go find it.
ALSO, some skrulls have telepathy! there's a whole x-men secret invasion situation where emma is having a really hard time because they're doing some psychic projection that's pulling the whole team down (west coast). ultimately it's not the shit-show that the avengers in the savage land was, but. ALSO, those avenger-skrulls in the savage lands are exhibit a: skrulls that had the ritual done but don't remember they're skrulls after. So it's like a mind-dump. Memories, emotions, etc. From then on it's an infiltration (see: veranke and the hank-skrull)
I also have extensive headcanons about this because it's Relevant to my Fics and a lot of notes somewhere to keep track of what is explicitly canon. I'll look for that too.
