Replica is a Skrull in the Earth-691 timeline of the fictional Marvel Universe, and is a devout member of the Universal Church of Truth. She is a member of the Galactic Guardians, an offshoot of the Guardians of the Galaxy.

Before joining the Guardians, she lived on Haven, which was ruled by a band of mutants led by the murderous descendant of Wolverine, Rancor. She stows away in the Guardians ship as an insect, only to be discovered by Yondu. Nikki was suspicious of her from the start, believed later to be due to Nikki's hatred of reptilians. In order to save the lives of the Guardians, Replica gave herself as a playmater to her god, Protégé, the child-like ruler of the Universal Church of Truth. Nikki later expresses concern over Replica.

Replica comes into conflict with Protégé's other companion, a demonic-looking woman named Malevolence, who was later revealed to be the daughter of Mephisto. Replica receives a call for aid from her old friend Martinex, as his planet is being torn asunder by multiple tragedies. She dodges the attentions of Protégé and Malevolence to answer this call, though ultimately Protégé lets her go. Despite this, she still must be rescued from a Universal Church ship by Firelord. Despite not being trusted by him, they team up to rescue many innocent people in danger on Martinex' planet. The two ultimately team up with many other powerful beings, including Hollywood in order to form the Galactic Guardians.
