Skruu Gru (Dimension-6144)

**Skruu Gru**, is the third brother of Gru and Gloo of New Earth. He killed them when he found out that they were taking advantage of his minion Greg. He was the leader of Task Force X on their mission to find the Gru brothers of Earth Prime. Upon finding them, he was turned into a minion using the minion weapon.

## History

### Killing His Brothers

Sometime before 2025, Skruu had a minion named Greg, who he was close with. But Skruu's brothers, Gru and Gloo, "took advantage" of him, and used him to create minion weapons of their own. Furious, Skruu killed both of them in a fit of rage and jealousy.

He was eventually found by the police and sent to Belle Reve, where he would spend his days for the time being.

### Joining Task Force X

Sometime later, he would be asked to join Task Force X, in their search for Gru and Gloo, and their minion weapon. He agreed, and a nano-bomb was planted in his head, to ensure he would stay in line.

He, and the rest of Task Force X, were gathered and debriefed about the mission. Once the whole team was filled in on the mission, they were put on the jet, and sent out to Central City. Skruu stayed away from the team on the jet, and didn't listen as they all got to know each other.

Upon landing, the team was told they had three hours to complete the mission. After the jet flew away, FunnyMan stopped the team, and told them they should look out for any traps that could be hidden, but was cut off my BirdFella (in a Trump disguise), telling the group that he had already looked around, and it was all safe. BirdFella was cut off by an explosion, which sent everyone flying.

After the smoke cleared, Skruu and the rest of the team saw the dead body of BirdFella, who was still disguised, and they all stared in awe. This silence was broken when Pistachio spoke up and explained it was just BirdFella in a disguise. Flag then spoke through the earpieces and told them to get a move on.

### Stopping at Burger King

Skruu said his first words to the team when FunnyMan suggested they stop to eat. He was met with ridicule, as the team mocked his weight. Once inside, Skruu attempted to order a Beef and Cheddar. Ronnie informed him they don't have that at Burger King, and then asked if Skruu was the famed inventor Gru. This made Skruu annoyed, and he shot at Ronny. He told him to never call him that again, and Ronie agreed. He asked for the Beef and Cheddar again, and sat down with Pistachio, who told him he can't be shooting at employees like that.

When FunnyMan came out of the bathroom, he heard that Skruu had shot at the worker, and he yelled at Skruu for doing that. FunnyMan then brought the team their food, and they quickly ate, before making their way into the city. On their way, FunnyMan asked if there would be any more complications with the mission, due to it's relation with Skruu's backstory. Skruu waved it away, and they kept walking.

### Settling Down

The team eventually found a medical center, where they decided to set up shop for the time being. There, the team caught up with each others backstory a bit, and got to know more about one another. During this, Skruu pulled FunnyMan away form Pistachio, and told him that he didn't trust Pistachio. FunnyMan agreed, and the two formed an alliance. Later, when Pistachio went to take a quick nap, Skruu confronted him, and told Pistachio that he didn't trust FunnyMan. Pistachio agreed with Skruu, and they too, formed an alliance.

After hearing a sound out in the hallway, they were contacted by Flag, who told them Eobard was at the bar, and they had to make their way over. When they started towards the bar, FunnyMan told them that he would stay at the Medical Center, and make sure it stayed safe. The team agreed, and made their way to the bar.

### Getting to the Bar

Once Pistachio and Skruu got to the bar, they were stopped by Ronnny, who asked them if they were on the list or not. Pistachio gave Rhonie a fake name, and so did Skruu, who went with "Johnathan Cheddar". They were both allowed in, and inside, they ordered drinks. Skruu ordered a diet coke on the rocks, and Pistachio ordered blood. The bartender informed them that they were the only two people here, and that while they waited for Thawne, they should make use of the dance floor. Pistachio and Skruu agreed, and did a little boogie while they waited.

After a bit, their drinks were ready, and the bartender gave them what they ordered, except he didn't really. He gave Pistachio a fish, and Skruu a piece of lettuce. Minutes later, Thawne showed up, and Pistachio held him at knife-point. Skruu ordered him to head to the back of the bar, and Pistachio told Skruu he needed to get a quick breather outside.

### Striking a Deal

Once Eobard and Skruu were in the back of the bar, Skruu demanded to know where the Gru brothers were, and Thawne told Skruu that he would tell him, but for a price. Thawne pulled a gun on Skruu, and told him that if he was going to tell Skruu where the brothers were at, then he wanted the minion weapon once they had it. Thawne then offered, as an incentive, to take the bomb out of Skruu's head. Skruu agreed, and Thawne fished the bomb out, and shot it. Skruu then swore that once he had the gun, he would give it to Thawne, who nodded his head. Thawne then told Skruu that the brothers were checked in at the Four Seasons Hotel. Skruu thanked Thawne, and ran outside to look for Pistachio.

When Skruu got outside, he found Pistachio dead, under a bunch of rubble. Shocked by this , he made his way back to the medical center to speak with FunnyMan. Inside, he found FunnyMan, and explained everything that happened (excluding the part about him making a deal with Eobard). FunnyMan was shocked, and they made their way towards the Four Seaons.

### Facing FunnyMan

On their way to the Four Seaons, FunnyMan was finally able to convince Skruu to talk about his origin. Skruu explained that he had a minion named Greg, who he was very close with. But Gru and Gloo, they took advantage of him, and used him to create minion technology. This made Skruu angry, and he killed them for it. FunnyMan said he undestood why he did it, but maybe killing them was the wrong course of action.

Before Skruu could enter the hotel, FunnyMan pulled a gun on him. Upon questioning what he was doing, FunnyMan told Skruu he didn't belive his Pistachio story, and he believed that Skruu actually killed him. He based this theory on the fact that he killed Gru and Gloo because they were just "smarter than him". FunnyMan told Skruu that he kills anyone who undermines him, which is why he killed Pistachio. Skruu tried to convince him he was incorrect, but FunnyMan didn't listen. He told him that he couldn't let Skruu go into the hotel with good heart. Upon hearing this, Skruu attacked FunnyMan.

The two fought it out, and FunnyMan ended up at the edge of a dock, while Skruu attempted to burn it down. Within a brief moment of hesiation, FunnyMan called Skruu a coward, and Skruu ended his life by slicing his throat with his blade gauntlet.

### Finding Gru and Gloo

After killing FunnyMan, Skruu went into the Four Seasons, and found Gru and Gloo. Upon seeing Skruu, Gru confused him with Gloo, who exited the bathroom promptly. Skruu cornered the brothers, and threatened them. He explained who he was, and why he was there. That's when Flag spoke to Skruu through the earpiece, asking how things were going. Skruu informed him that he found the brothers, and the weapon. Flag told him that was great, and to go get the weapon from them. Skruu thought about his deal with Eobard, and shut off his earpiece. Before Skruu could make a move on the brothers, Gru froze him with the freezeray.

The two brothers ran out of the room, and after a moment, Skruu broke out of the ice, and found the brothers hiding in the back by the pool. He confronted Gru, who stalled, while Gloo began to charge up the minion weapon. And Skruu was least expecting it, Gloo shot a giant blast at Skruu, which shined a blinding light in everyone's eyes. After everyone could see again, the Gru brothers looked down to see that Skruu had been turned into a minion. He began to babble at them in minionese, but no-one knew what he was saying. The Gru brothers brought Skruu back to the jet, and showed him off to Rick Flag.

### The Infinity War

Upon returning to Belle Reve, Skruu was swiftly turned back into a human, using the minion weapon. This was important, as only the next day, Skruu and the rest of Task Force X, including The American Psycho and Eureka, would be sent out to New York City to save Gobby from the Chitauri. The team doesn’t make it far, before American Psycho insults Eureka, causing Amanda Waller to ignite the explosive in his head. This vacant spot is filled quickly, as Waller sends in Lobster Man to fill in Eureka’s place. Minutes later, Task Force X meets their new member, Lobster Man. Only minutes into the mission, and the three members are already arguing. They all begin to roam the streets, looking for the fallen Avenger. Lobster Man finds where the Chitauri is holding Gobby, and all charge the aliens. Very quickly they realize two things, One: Gobby is gone. And two: they are very outnumbered. Lobster Man and the rest of Task Force X retreat and attempt to come up with a better plan.

Once safe, the three begin to form a plan, when American Psycho tells the group that he has to leave to return video tapes, and runs off. With only two members remaining, Task Force X is ambushed by more Chitauri. As they run away from the aliens, they notice that there are some Chitauri guarding a football stadium. Lobster Man and Skruu rush into the stadium and see that Gobby is inside. They run to him, and explain why they are there. Lobster Man realizes that there is no way to get Gobby out with all of the Chitauri outside, so Lobster Man runs into the crown of aliens and fights them off, as Skruu aids Gobby to the helicopter. When they arrive at the helicopter, Skruu goes to check on Lobster Man but is stopped by the corpse of Lobster Man being thrown right in front of him. Realizing it’s too late for him, Skruu and Gobby fly off to get Gobby to a hospital.
