Just a month ago, women in sleek black suits began appearing across major cities around the world. They weren't celebrities or influencers—they were heroes. Fighting crime, responding to disasters, and saving lives. They called themselves the Men in Black, and their sudden emergence captured global attention.

Most people recognized them from the recent HYDRA war. These mysterious women had played a crucial role in toppling one of the three airborne helicarriers and had been instrumental in the international crackdown on HYDRA. Then, as quickly as they had arrived, they vanished.

People speculated. Some believed they were former HYDRA victims—survivors turned vigilantes, hell-bent on revenge. Once their mission was complete, they faded into the shadows. Others claimed they were Tony Stark's elite strike team, called upon only when Iron Man required backup. By day, they might be high-level execs or PR specialists at Stark Industries.

This theory gained the most traction, especially among jealous male netizens, who flooded forums expressing their envy of Stark's supposed "all-female army."

Then came the unexpected twist.

During a highly publicized hearing, Tony Stark appeared via livestream and clarified everything: The Men in Black weren't his team. They served Superman.

Online debates fizzled after that. As time passed, the world's attention shifted, and the Men in Black faded from public consciousness once again.

Until last month.

The Men in Black suddenly reappeared with purpose and coordination.

Behind their return was Yelena, acting under Malrick's approval. She began expanding the Men in Black's influence globally, reigniting interest.

Internet forums exploded. Supporters of Superman hailed this move, calling the agents his "Black Nuns," sent to redeem humanity. Detractors accused him of laying the groundwork for a tyrannical regime. Heated arguments lit up every comment section online.

Even innocent videos weren't spared.

According to Sherry, opening a Snow White clip would spark bizarre metaphors: the Queen represented Superman, the princess was the people, and the story condemned tyranny. Supporters fired back: the Queen was HYDRA, the Prince was Superman, and the Queen had already been vanquished.

Fortunately, the online chaos began to quiet down with the release of a movie from the Super Hero Company titled "Men in Black."

The film pulled back the curtain on the organization's true origins.

They weren't mysterious agents with unknown motives—they were victims saved and trained by Superman. Their creed: "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." Their mission: protect Earth from hostile extraterrestrial threats.

The movie opened with the destruction of the Red Room, a covert facility dismantled in a joint effort by Superman and Iron Man. It told the harrowing story of a group of abused young women, their rescue, growth, and eventual vengeance against HYDRA.

Though the film had a short promotional cycle, it was an instant success. Within a week of release, its global box office numbers surpassed those of another Super Hero Company film launched at the same time: "The Dark Knight Batman."

Yes, even while developing new homegrown heroes, the company still released DC properties. But the Marvel-style local heroes—especially Superman—were simply more relatable to audiences.

"Men in Black" propelled the team into global stardom.

So, when a black-armored figure appeared in a viral homepage video on a popular portal site, nearly everyone instantly recognized who it was. They didn't dismiss the fantastical claims made at the beginning. Not this time.

As the Men in Black member began laying out evidence—one clip at a time—viewers stopped doubting.

Because the evidence was irrefutable.

Earth had been infiltrated. By aliens.

"We first became aware of extraterrestrial life from this video," the armored woman said calmly. She raised her palm and swiped downward. The screen transitioned to a recording from several months ago.

The footage showed the command room aboard a HYDRA airborne helicarrier.

Most viewers had seen this infamous moment. Inside, former S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury stood with loyal agents, facing off against HYDRA operatives. Tensions escalated. Then—gunfire erupted.

Despite being outnumbered, Fury's side held their own until one of his agents was gunned down. As the body hit the floor, it shifted into a green-skinned, non-human creature.

The footage froze.

"This figure," the Men in Black speaker explained, "wasn't human. It was a Skrull—an alien infiltrator."

She continued.

"A few months ago, this anomaly caught the attention of several agencies. At the time, Nick Fury claimed the corpse belonged to a genetically enhanced human, and that the transformation was a side effect of the serum."

"He nearly fooled the entire world."

"But not us."

The screen jumped to another hidden recording.

This time, Nick Fury and several allies were bound in a corner. A HYDRA agent passed them, only to be abruptly shot by what appeared to be the HYDRA leader. The fallen agent's form twisted—revealing the green skin of a Skrull.

Gasps erupted from others in the room.

The HYDRA leader reacted instantly, turning his weapon on the gasping soldiers. He fired six quick shots. Six more agents fell—each of them transforming into Skrulls.

Millions of viewers were stunned.

One rogue enhanced human was believable. But seven Skrulls among HYDRA agents?

And why had this video been intercepted?

The answer was obvious—it exposed a truth that powerful people didn't want revealed.

The screen cut back to the Men in Black speaker.

"This video was originally obtained by the now-defunct Rising Tide organization. They tried to upload it online but were blocked by an unknown force."

In truth, Malrick had instructed Agent K to withhold the footage until the right moment.

But that detail remained classified.

"The existence of seven confirmed Skrulls set off alarms within our team," she continued. "So while we were dismantling HYDRA, we also began tracking these green-skinned infiltrators."

Months of investigation followed.

Traces of the Skrulls were discovered across multiple countries.

Clue by clue, the Men in Black followed the trail.

Eventually, they uncovered the truth.

"These creatures are called Skrulls," the woman declared, her voice unwavering. "They are interstellar refugees—brought to Earth by Nick Fury without global consultation."

"If they were peaceful, we might have viewed this as an act of compassion."

"But they're not peaceful."

"They're mercenaries, deceivers… invaders."
