The volume includes the introduction of the second Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau), the return of Wonder Man, and the formation of a new lineup featuring Beast, Moondragon, and others. Key storylines involve the villainous Wizard, the threat of Ultron, and the team's battle against the forces of dark magic, all while navigating shifting rosters and personal conflicts among Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
In "Who's That Lady?", Lt. Monica Rambeau’s life takes a dramatic turn when a rogue experiment at an offshore oil rig unleashes energy that transforms her—leading her to leave the harbor patrol and embrace a new identity as Captain Marvel. Writer Roger Stern and artist John Romita Jr. team up for a pivotal origin moment, capturing the raw intensity of her first steps as a hero, while Stan Goldberg’s colors and Jim Novak’s lettering add depth to the moment. With the energy still surging inside her, she seeks help at Avengers Mansion, where Iron Man steps in to stabilize her—setting the stage for a new chapter in the Marvel Universe. The cover by Al Milgrom and Joe Sinnott perfectly captures the mystery and power of her transformation.
