Synopsis for "Blown Away!"

The Lunatic Legion send their agent, Nitro, The Exploding Man, to steal a powerful, top-secret government nerve gas called Compound 13. He is confronted by Captain Mar-Vell, who defeats Nitro by having Rick strike his Nega-Bands together at the moment Nitro explodes. The gas canister is ruptured in the explosion, and Mar-Vell successfully reseals the container--but alas, not before himself breathing in some of the toxic gas. It will eventually give him the cancer which kills him in the graphic novel, "The Death Of Captain Marvel." ^[1]
