Theofficial prevue ofCaptain Marvel # 16confirmed Kelly Thompson and Lee Garbett ’s bow was rise up to its thrilling conclusion , as all deception and pretense was cast aside . After spending the last issues taking down one Avenger after another and give birth their ' stiff ' to Vox Supreme – an evil Kree terrorist – Carol plunge her fire . She did so not only for herself , or the innocent lives jeopardize to storm her to collaborate , but for the Avengers who put their trust in her . The good tidings is the closing curtain proves Carol is the very best of her teammate combine . The bad word … is we mean thatliterally .
The showdown between Carol and Vox starts as expected , but she does n’t go in empty handed . SinceCaptain America surrendered his shield to her , he also grants her its use in this battle . At first blush , proving that the cover art showing Captain Marvel wielding Mjolnir and Cap ’s shield ( as well as Iron Man ’s gantlet ) would n’t let down . But the truth behind the tease – of Captain Marvel ' profit the powers of the Avengers ' – is n’t quite as it sounds .
