Captain Marvel #18
In "Vengeance Is Mine!", Rick Jones struggles with the burden of hosting Mar-Vell's power as Captain Marvel faces off against Yon-Rogg and the Mandroid at a crumbling Kree outpost. With Carol Danvers captured and critically injured by a laser blast, Captain Marvel races to save her—only to witness the mysterious Psyche-Magnitron begin to alter her at a genetic level. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Gil Kane, John Buscema, and John Romita, with inks by Dan Adkins and John Romita, and colors by Michele Robinson, the cover by Gil Kane and Dan Adkins captures the moment of high tension. A 15-cent comic from 1969, this issue marks a pivotal step in Carol Danvers’ transformation.

Rick Jones copes with being Mar-Vell's Earth host and Captain Marvel battles Yon-Rogg and The Mandroid who have kidnapped Carol Danvers at an old Kree outpost. During the battle, Yon-Rogg shoots Carol with a laser which causes her to fall unconscious beneath the damaged Kree Psyche-Magnitron. Captain Marvel rescues her (but not before the Magnitron alters her genetically, allowing for her to gain the powers she will later use as Ms. Marvel).
