Synopsis[]

In The Marvels, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, and Carol's estranged niece, now S.A.B.E.R. astronaut Captain Monica Rambeau. Together, this unlikely trio must team up and learn to work in concert to save the universe as "The Marvels".[1]

Plot[]

Destruction of the Supreme Intelligence

Captain Marvel destroys the Supreme Intelligence

In an act of defiance, Carol Danvers destroys the Supreme Intelligence, the very core of Kree artificial intelligence. This act plunges the Kree Empire into a civil war, paving the way for the desolation of their once-glorious homeworld, Hala, a catastrophic saga spanning three decades. Amidst the ruins, Supremor Dar-Benn, an emerging leader, stumbles upon the Quantum Band.

Monica Rambeau inspects the jump point

Dar-Benn's newfound power ripples across the fabric of space, creating a web of interconnected jump points that disrupts the very essence of interstellar travel. The resulting anomaly affects the entire jump point network, including one near Earth's S.A.B.E.R. space station run by Nick Fury. As Monica Rambeau investigates disturbances near S.A.B.E.R., Carol Danvers pursues the newly opened jump point created by Dar-Benn. Touching their respective jump points, Rambeau finds herself displaced, along with Danvers and Kamala Khan, the owner of the second Quantum Band on Earth who was biding her time in the creation of a story involving her superhero alter-ego Ms. Marvel and Danvers. The trio utilizes their distinct light-based powers to fend off Kree enemies, resulting in the destruction of the Khan family home.

Rambeau, Khan and Danvers confront Dar-Benn

After returning to their original places, Fury and Rambeau visit Kamala on Earth. Rambeau theorizes that their light-based powers are connected through quantum entanglement, switching places when any of the three simultaneously use their powers. Danvers, Rambeau and Khan converge at a Skrull refugee colony on Tarnax IV, a planet founded through Danvers' aid, where complex peace negotiations balance on the edge. When negotiations fail, Dar-Benn opens another jump point, siphoning the atmosphere from Tarnax to replenish Hala's air. Danvers, Rambeau, and Khan form a team, dubbed "the Marvels" by Khan, after evacuating the colony.

Aladna is rid of its water

Danvers explains that the Quantum Bands played a significant role in establishing the jump point network, and Dar-Benn, by merging her Quantum Band with the Kree's Universal Weapon, is causing instability in the network. Dar-Benn targets planets significant to Danvers, holding her responsible for the desolation of Hala. The Marvels reach the water planet Aladna ahead of Dar-Benn, preparing the locals for an impending attack. Dar-Benn arrives and tries to divert the planet's water to Hala, nearly seizing Kamala's Quantum Band. The Marvels successfully subdue Dar-Benn, and in her final attempt, she uses both Quantum Bands to create a space rift. This action results in Dar-Benn's destruction, the termination of the Marvels' entanglement, and the formation of a rupture between realities.

Monica Rambeau Seals the Rift

Following Kamala's successful retrieval of the Bands, she and Danvers seamlessly blend their formidable powers to infuse Rambeau with an unprecedented surge of energy. This newfound strength enables Rambeau to seal the interdimensional rift from the alternate side, stranding herself in the process. As Kamala makes her return to Earth, Danvers soars towards Hala's sun. Employing her powers, Danvers manages to rejuvenate the celestial body. Kamala then began to assemble a new team of young heroes, beginning with Kate Bishop. Rambeau later awakens in a parallel universe, greeted by Binary — an alternate manifestation of her mother Maria — and the Mutant scientist, Hank McCoy.
