Synopsis for "And a Child Shall Lead You!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Captain Marvel #17

Continued from last issue... Trapped in the Negative Zone, Mar-Vell is told by the Supreme Intelligence that he is trapped in this realm due to his blind quest for revenge against Yon-Rogg. However, the Intelligence offers Mar-Vell a potential way to free himself, and it directs his mind towards Earth and to the plight of young Rick Jones, whose partner, Captain America, had just rejected him. (Unknown to Jones but known to the Supreme Intelligence, who reveals this fact to Mar-Vell, Cap's greatest enemy, the Red Skull, had forcefully switched his and Cap's bodies.) He follows Rick as Jones returns to Avengers Mansion one last time, in an angry huff, to collect his things and start hitting the road again.

When Jones gets close to an ancient, abandoned Kree base which contains the Nega-Bands, Mar-Vell conjures up an image of Captain America to lure Jones to the bands. There Mar-Vell contacts Jones and explains his plight and that the Bands would allow them to exchange places temporarily. Given the opportunity to become a super-hero, Jones accepts and puts on the Nega-Bands. Striking them together above his head causes him and Mar-Vell to exchange places.

Yon-Rogg suddenly appears, having found the secret station as well--and hoping to get the Nega-Bands for his own ends. This leads to a brief battle against Yon-Rogg, in which Yon-Rogg manages to escape. Chasing after him, Mar-Vell is promoted to save what appears to be Carol Danvers. But it turns out to be a bomb, and Mar-Vell tosses it away before it can blow him up. With Yon-Rogg escaping, Mar-Vell and Rick agree to work together in the future to get revenge on Yon-Rogg. They exchange places again, and Jones resumes his wandering, saying that he will find Yon-Rogg for "Marv," as he will eventually nickname Mar-Vell, "even if it takes me the rest of my life!" Mar-Vell's telepathic response is, "And it just might, Rick Jones...it just might...

"...unless HE finds you FIRST!!!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Captain Marvel #20

After playing a number of gigs in New York, Rick Jones is once more met by Mordecai P. Boggs. He offers the opportunity to be Rick's promoter, which Rick once more declines. Later in his apartment, Rick (with the help of Mar-Vell) manages to stop some muggers trying to rob someone in their building.

During the fight Rick comes up with a possible solution to separate themselves and free Mar-Vell from the Negative Zone: his old friend Bruce Banner. The two decide to try and track down Banner, first by searching his old hidden labs in the Nevada desert.

ALong the way they pass through a disaster zone, where Mar-Vell is compelled to stop and help people out, save a little girl, and stop a group of looters known as the Rat Pack from capitalizing on the disaster zone. With the three hour time limit in which Mar-Vell can spend in the positive matter universe over, he weakens and changes back to Rick Jones. Jones crashes into a lake near a hidden base where Bruce Banner is hiding out.

His monitors alerting him of Rick's presence, Banner's initial fear that Rick might be working for forces that are against him. Banner transforms into the Hulk who bounds over to Rick, intend on hurting the boy.

Synopsis for "Here Comes the Hulk!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
Captain Marvel #21

Continued from last issue...

The Hulk, believing that Rick Jones is part of a plan to attack him, arrives to find the boy passed out. However, Hulk finds himself conflicted as he remembers that he and Rick are friends and this calms him down enough for him to change back into Bruce Banner.

When Rick revives, he tells Bruce of his bond to Mar-Vell and their plight with Mar-Vell being stuck in the Negative Zone. Banner agrees to help although he tells the boy that the Negative Zone is not his area of expertise since the relative expert -- Reed Richards -- has not divulged much information about the Zone.

When Banner decides to call upon an old colleague who works at Desert State University, Banner's conversation is interrupted when misguided protesters start throwing rocks which injure Banner's friend. Enraged at the protest, Banner turns into the Hulk who is bent on smashing the student protest.

Not wishing anyone to get hurt, Rick switches places with Mar-Vell who chases after the Hulk. After battling the Hulk and protecting the protesters, it takes Mar-Vell switching back with Rick, and Rick talking the Hulk into leaving, that ultimately saves the protesters from the Hulk's wrath.
