(W) Roger Stern, Various (A) John Romita Jr., Various (CA) Rod Reis
Before Carol Danvers took the name Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau held the mantle! A police lieutenant with the remarkable power to transform into energy, Monica began as a reluctant super hero but soon rose through the ranks to become the Avengers' field leader! Now, witness Monica's debut, her earliest encounters with Spider-Man and the Avengers, and an interdimensional team-up with Thanos' brother, Starfox! Monica clashes with Powderkeg and the Sons of the Serpent in little-seen solo tales, but what prompts her to give up the name of Captain Marvel and evolve into the next phase of her heroic career?
