God Squad is a fictional team of gods appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. "God Squad" is the name that the character Amadeus Cho gave to a team of gods brought together to face the oncoming Secret Invasion. The team was brought together in Incredible Hercules #117 (2008) by writers Greg Pak and Fred Van Lente, and artist Rafa Sandoval.

During the Secret Invasion tie-in issues of Incredible Hercules, Hercules was made the leader of a team of gods to battle the pantheon of Skrull gods, seeking to launch a preemptive strike to prevent the Skrulls from subjugating Earth and thus its culture, society, and religion. This "God Squad" consists of Snowbird, Ajak, Amatsu-Mikaboshi, and Demogorge, and opposes the Skrull gods led by Kly'bn and Sl'gur't, gathered not only by the representatives of the Gods of the North, South, East and West, but of the Elder Gods of Earth. They get to the Skrulls in a boat made from the Rainbow Serpent's skin after stealing a chart from Nightmare using Mikaboshi's deception. However a Skrull agent disguised as Cho's coyote pup Kirby destroys it, but has his head bitten off by Atum. Although Ajak and Demogorge are slain by the enemy Skrulls, the team ultimately manages to triumph and destroy the Skrull deities to return to Earth, Kly'bn is impaled on Demogorges spine by Snowbird after Hercules knocks him back, and Sl'gurt is killed by Mikaboshi, when she assumes his form she is torn in two, meaning the rest of the team think Mikaboshi is dead. This happens around the time of Reed Richards' escape at Secret Invasion #5. Mikaboshi stays behind after killing Sl'gur't and takes over the Skrull Pantheon.
