Written by Roger Stern and illustrated by John Romita Jr., this pivotal issue follows her journey from New Orleans harbor patrol officer to powered hero, culminating in a high-stakes visit to Avengers Mansion where Iron Man helps her manage the volatile energy she absorbed. The cover by Rod Reis captures the moment of transformation with striking detail.
In "Who's That Lady?", Monica Rambeau—once a harbor patrol lieutenant in New Orleans—finds her life upended after a catastrophic explosion at an offshore oil rig, the result of a weapon built from her grandfather’s friend Andre LeClare’s research. The blast awakens powerful energy within her, leading her to leave her old life behind and embrace her new role as Captain Marvel. Now, with the unstable energy she absorbed still surging through her, she seeks help from the Avengers, eventually turning to Iron Man at Avengers Mansion to safely siphon off the dangerous buildup.
In "Foiled!", Monica Rambeau finds herself caught between worlds after a well-intentioned but reckless inventor's device sends entire cities to another dimension—only to have the machine's energy twist her into a permanent energy form. With help from a surprising ally, she must navigate the consequences of a power she never asked for, all while the fallout of the machine's creation lingers in the shadows.
In "Shifts and Planes," Spider-Man and Starfox venture into another dimension to dismantle a machine blocking Captain Marvel’s return from her energy form—only to find it’s shielding a peaceful tribe from a violent rival clan. As they confront the warlord Will-Killer and his Mahko Clan, the duo must navigate the fragile balance between stopping a threat and preserving the very peace they were sent to protect.
In "Command Decision," Captain Marvel steps into a pivotal leadership role as she’s nominated to become the new chairperson of the Avengers, a choice that tests her resolve and sense of duty. With Doctor Druid now officially joining the team, the Avengers face a sudden, urgent mission when the still-comatose Hercules is taken from his hospital bed—leaving the team to act before the situation spirals.
In "Once More in the City of Light," Captain Marvel journeys to 1784 Paris on a mission to retrieve a vial of Count Dracula’s blood for Marie Laveau. The trip takes a dangerous turn when Dracula bites her neck, and upon returning to the present, the vial detonates—its magic undone by Dr. Strange’s earlier spellwork.
