Replica is a Skrull from an alternate future of the Marvel Comics universe and a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy and Galactic Guardians.
The character, created by Jim Valentino, first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy #9 (February 1991) as an inhabitant of the alternate timeline/reality Marvel Comics designated as Earth-691.
Within the context of the stories, Replica is a devout member of the Universal Church of Truth who lives in disguise on the planet New Haven under the rule of Rancor. When the Guardians of the Galaxy arrive, she joins them and the Resistance against Rancor. When the Guardians leave New Haven, she stows away on their ship as an insect only to be discovered by Yondu. Over time she assists the Guardians against a Stark saboteur, the Spirit of Vengeance, and the Grand Inquisitor. She also reveals that she is a member of the Universal Church of Truth and a Skrull as she officially joins the Guardians. Later, in order to save the lives of the Guardians, she gives herself as a playmate to her god, Protégé.
She uses her position with Protégé to help the Guardians, but comes into conflict with Protégé's other companion, a demonic-looking woman named Malevolence. When she receives a call for aid from Martinex, she dodges the attentions of both Protégé and Malevolence to answer this call, though ultimately Protégé lets her go. Despite this, she still needs to be rescued from a Universal Church ship by Firelord. Their rescue of Martinex' planet results in the formation of the Galactic Guardians.
