Captain Marvel (Monica Rambeau) has been captured by the Controller; once his disc is
on the back of her neck, he controls everything she does, though she is awake
and aware of it all. He tests the disc first by grinding his cigar in the palm
of her hand and then by kissing her. She reacts to neither so he sends her out
to bring back the broken body of the other Captain Marvel….
On
Titan, Genis-Vell broods about his legacy from a father he never knew. His
uncle Eros a/k/a Starfox tells him about his father Mar-Vell and take shim out
to a classy club called the Cockaigne Lounge for drinks and companionship. Eros
attracts two gorgeous women; when he excuses himself to go to the restroom,
Monica is there in an evening gown; she blasts him and heads back to the table.
She casts an illusion over Genis, causing him to see the young ladies as
wretched hags so Monica, following the Controllers, prompting, takes Genis back
to his place where she attacks him, rendering him unconscious….
She
carries him back to Earth but he wakes up in transit and uses his Nega-Bands to
cause an explosion, leading them to a fight on the ground. She secretly summons
the Avengers, reaching an apathetic Deathcry who thinks it’s a prank. Vision
drags her to Monica’s aid they arrive just as Monica is knocked cold by Genis’
attacks. They fight with him until Starfox shows up to explain. He offers to
stimulate CM’s pleasure sensors so that she reveals what is going on. So she
blasts him with x-rays, which stops Starfox but allow everyone to see the chip
on her head. Vision removes it and the heroes attack the Controller in his
lair. Monica is offered the chance to punish the Controller…but she realized he
is under someone else’s control….
As
they leave, Genis suggests that Monica better deserves the mantle of Captain
Marvel. But Monica tells him the name is his legacy and announces her new name is
Photon….
