Like more than twenty years ago? Dire Wraiths? Rom the Space Knight? This

were Dire Wraiths finding a way to escape the Limbo and plot revenge against
Earth. Think about it. Dire Wraiths pracitced magics and nobody ever
developed a way to detect them the last time.
There are two problems:
1) In their original form, a dire wraith doesn't look as pretty as the
skrull princess.
2) The dire wraiths do not fit the tortured analogy of oppressive
religion against 'sensible' science (of which Reed and Stark embody)
which Bendis is trying to make.
So no go.

Third problem: Marvel would probably have had to pay big money for the
rights to use the Dire Wraiths (not that they seem to have any
inherent value at the moment -- but if Marvel wanted to use them for a
major crossover event, Hasbro (or whoever) would suddenly decide they
were valuable.
