When Picaro attempted to use the energy disruptor to obliterate Fort Benning, Rambeau destroyed the equipment with her bare hands and gained superpowers by being bombarded with extra-dimensional energy. With the ability to convert her body mass into any form of electromagnetic energy, Rambeau found herself back to New Orleans, where she designed a super hero costume by combining pieces of Mardi Gras outfits from a storage warehouse. With her new powers, she returned to the oil rig, rescuing LeClare and preventing the disruptor from damaging the fabric of the universe. Her actions caught the attention of the media, which referred to her as Captain Marvel. Finally, a captain by her own merit, Rambeau decided to resign from the navy.

Just outside the hospital, a concussed Carol was kidnapped by Yon-Rogg, who wished for final revenge against Mar-Vell.

Empowered by the Nega-Bands, Mar-Vell was lured into the secret base. During their battle, Danvers was brutally knocked by Yon-Rogg into the damaged machinery. As the outpost collapsed, Mar-Vell chose to bring only Danvers to safety as Yon-Rogg perished.

Carol would black out and turn into the amnesiac Kree warrior named Ms. Marvel, instantaneously donning a costume which the Psyche-Magnitron had created for her to ease her body's changes.
