129. Marvel Team Up vol 1 #142 ... Marvel ...

There was once, a rather new Avenger, who because of her (yes her) power levels, was immediately accepted into the Avengers' roster even though she was more of a trainee. Who are we talking about? Spidey's co-star in this issue of Marvel Team-Up: the new Captain Marvel

Her name?

Monica Rambeau and she is an American, African-American

Her power?

Supposedly the ability to transform herself into any range of energy so she can shoot bolts, heat things up, fly at (near) light speed and transform her body into any form of energy. So she should (theoretically) be unbeatable, right? Kind of like telepaths that can fry one's brains ...

But naturally in comics, they can be beaten otherwise there is minimal tension and drama in the storylines

So in here, we have Spidey going to cover a social event as PPP (Peter Parker, Photographer) for the paper he works for while a robbery takes place. The robbers are not in street clothes but in henchman clothes although for them, most are tall and geeky so makes one wonder, right? And as they are having a good time clearing out the exhibit, both Spidey and Captain Marvel arrives to stop them

In this issue, the master villain has yet to be announced at the outset which is good as it makes us want to read what's inside and the cool bit besides henchmen getting beaten to within an inch of their lives? They managed to trap the good Captain
