Chapter Summaries

General Talos tried to persuade Vers to hear a recording that could explain the truth about the accident six years earlier and Dr. Wendy Lawson’s connection to the Skrulls. Before Vers could decide, the orange cat frightened Talos, who identified it as a Flerken.

• General Talos apologized for the Skrulls’ actions and offered to let their medical officer examine Maria Rambeau’s daughter, but Maria refused.
• Talos revealed that Agent Kohler was alive and offered Vers a black-box recording from the accident six years earlier.
• Talos explained that Dr. Wendy Lawson was the Kree scientist Mar-Vell, who had defected to help the Skrulls escape using a Faster-than-Light Engine.
• Vers questioned Talos but remained interested in learning what had happened to Lawson and what truth the Kree had concealed.
• The orange cat approached Talos, who panicked and warned everyone that it was a Flerken.

After hearing the black box recording, Carol Danvers recovered memories that revealed her Earth origins and the Kree’s deception. General Talos tried to recruit her by explaining that the Skrulls wanted the Faster-than-Light Engine’s core to help their people escape the Kree.

• Maria Rambeau took everyone to her workshop to play the black box recording on her computer and kept Monica Rambeau outside listening to music.
• Maria Rambeau warned everyone without clearance to leave, so Henry took Kitty outside while Barbara Morse stayed to watch the Skrulls and protect the workshop.
• The recording of Carol Danvers and Dr. Wendy Lawson’s final flight brought back Carol’s memories of the crash, Dr. Wendy Lawson’s death, and her own Earth identity.
• Carol Danvers realized she was not a Kree warrior but an Earthling who had been deceived and exploited, then rushed out of the workshop in distress.
• General Talos asked Carol Danvers to join the Skrulls and explained that they sought the Faster-than-Light Engine’s core to lead their people to safety.
• Carol Danvers questioned whether the Skrulls would use the engine for war, and General Talos denied responsibility for Tofa’s destruction and described the Skrulls’ plan to escape the Kree.

Henry questioned why Earth should join the Kree-Skrull war and challenged the Skrulls’ claim to be innocent victims. He left the choice unresolved, asking why he should fight when he had not been defeated or controlled by either side.

• Maria Rambeau reminded Carol Danvers that Dr. Lawson had pursued research intended to end wars, and Talos urged Carol to trust the Skrulls over the Kree.
• Barbara invited Henry to help the Skrulls fight the Kree, but Henry asked why he should join a war that did not belong to him.
• Nick Fury argued that Earth had already been drawn into the conflict and might have to choose a side.
• Henry compared the Skrulls to defeated Axis nations and said he did not know whether they were innocent or deserved their fate.
• Talos blamed the Kree for starting the war and slaughtering Skrulls, while Carol described the Kree’s account of Skrull expansionism.
• Henry acknowledged that the Skrulls had reason to resist and Carol had reason to fight back, then asked what reason he had to join them.

Henry rejected Talos’s attempt to pressure him into fighting the Kree and insisted that the Skrulls stop interfering in his life. With Carol Danvers and Nick Fury intervening, the Skrulls let him leave, and Barbara joined him.

• Henry confronted Talos over the Skrulls’ attempts to frame him and refused to help their war against the Kree.
• Talos’s disguised Skrulls blocked Henry from leaving, but Nick Fury urged Talos to let him go.
• Carol Danvers criticized Talos for forcing Henry to help and said she would assist the Skrulls herself.
• Talos ordered his people to clear the way, and Nick Fury promised to address the trouble caused by the Skrulls.
• Nick Fury gave Barbara Morse instructions, and Barbara caught up with Henry and Kitty to leave with them.

Henry considered how colored starlight and Kryptonite could affect Kryptonians, then worried that Nick Fury might use the Skrulls’ information to develop ways to exploit those weaknesses. He also reflected on how his natural birth as one of Krypton’s Flawed Ones might explain his limitless potential.

• Barbara Morse told Henry that Fury had sent her away so someone could report what happened, since he did not fully trust the Skrulls.
• Henry reasoned that different colors of starlight could produce effects similar to the various kinds of Kryptonite, potentially changing Kryptonians’ powers and personalities.
• Henry considered whether humans could create colored sun lamps capable of weakening Kryptonians and concluded that it might require a genius like Reed Richards.
• Henry recalled that Kryptonian armor might block solar radiation and wondered whether Krypton’s ancient armor had the same property.
• Henry considered that his natural birth outside Krypton’s Genesis Codex might account for his unlimited potential.

Henry considered whether his natural Kryptonian birth might let him escape the limits of Krypton’s Codex, while worrying that Nick Fury knew his weaknesses but not the full extent of his powers. S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrived to escort Barbara Morse and her group to an Air Force base for transport to Los Angeles.

• Henry reasoned that Supergirl’s engineer template and lack of combat experience made her defeat by General Zod inevitable, while Kal-El had been killed before showing his abilities.
• Henry speculated that naturally born Kryptonians might have been sent into the Phantom Zone and wondered whether his own birth would allow him to become powerful.
• Henry concluded that Nick Fury had learned his Kryptonian identity and weaknesses but probably did not know about his powers beyond Steel Body.
• Henry calmed himself after reflecting on the Skrulls’ information about Krypton and continued walking with Barbara Morse and Kitty.
• Two S.H.I.E.L.D. agents stopped the group, verified Barbara’s identity, and said they would escort them to an Air Force base because Kitty was a tiger.

Henry uncovered a Skrull impersonating a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent after the transport car headed the wrong way. He and Barbara stopped the vehicle, and Henry found a satellite phone to contact someone.

• Henry noticed the SUV was traveling north instead of toward Keesler Air Force Base, and Barbara also recognized the route was wrong.
• Henry shot the passenger, exposing him as a Skrull, then wounded the driver and forced him to pull over.
• Henry had Barbara watch the wounded driver while he searched the SUV for a working phone.
• Henry found a satellite phone in the glove compartment and began dialing.

Henry contacted Tony Stark about the living and dead aliens, then received orders from an unknown authority to wait for a helicopter pickup. As the Skrull agent tried to explain himself, Henry rejected his account, and the approaching helicopter left him wondering how Kitty would handle the noise.

• Henry called Tony Stark and offered to turn over the two aliens, prompting Tony to tell him to stay put.
• An unknown caller ordered Henry, Barbara, the aliens, and the corpse to board a helicopter bound for a base.
• Barbara questioned whether Henry could contact Tony directly, while Henry explained that a helicopter was coming to collect them.
• The detained agent claimed General Talos had sent his group to ensure Henry and Barbara left before the next operation.
• Barbara accused the agent of being a Skrull, and Henry refused to hear his explanation.
• A UH-60 Black Hawk approached, and Henry worried its noise would upset Kitty.

Henry and Barbara faced a wounded Skrull infiltrator until the Howling Commandos arrived and examined the evidence. Henry proved the captive was an alien by cutting off a finger, which reverted to its original form.

• A Black Hawk helicopter landed, bringing the Howling Commandos to Henry, Barbara, and the wounded Skrull.
• Timothy Dugan introduced himself and inspected the captured agent and the dead Skrull in the car.
• Henry identified the dead passenger as the captive Skrull’s original appearance, and Dugan examined the body.
• Henry borrowed Dugan’s knife and cut off the captive’s finger to test whether a separated body part reverted to its true form.
• The severed finger transformed into a green, pointed-nailed Skrull finger, confirming Henry’s theory.

Henry Brown left with Kitty rather than joining the Howling Commandos, while Barbara Morse went with them to report on the Skrulls. After learning Henry was a Kryptonian, Old Nick Fury arranged an investigation into his past and planned to travel to Siberia to meet Alexei and Melina.

• Old Bai ordered Vince Marcus to carry the dead Skrull to the helicopter and told Barbara Morse to surrender her weapon and come along with the captured Skrull.
• Henry Brown stayed behind with Kitty and borrowed the car, explaining that Barbara needed to report on the aliens and support Nick Fury.
• After interrogating the living Skrull, the Howling Commandos learned that Henry was a Kryptonian, though he apparently did not know his origins.
• Old Nick Fury reported Henry's identity to Peggy Carter, who ordered a discreet investigation into his past in Alaska, the Yukon Territory, and Siberia.
• Old Nick Fury told Peggy Carter he would go to Siberia to meet Alexei and Melina while investigating alien intelligence, and Peggy agreed to provide resources.

Henry returned to Los Angeles and found the FBI ransacking his home, taking his electronics and belongings while Charlize Theron and J.J. Harris protested. He decided to wait for Nick Fury to resolve the fallout from S.H.I.E.L.D.’s failure, and prepared to make the Skrulls pay.

• Henry abandoned the damaged car near Monroe, flew Kitty to the wilderness by Sheep Cave Valley Laboratory, and left her a deer to eat.
• Henry returned to Los Angeles and found FBI agents searching his home and removing his computer, recordings, sound equipment, cleaning robot, and other belongings.
• Charlize Theron and old Gary protested the FBI search, while J.J. Harris tried to help Charlize, but none of them could stop the agents.
• Henry suspected the FBI had seized the chance created by the fake FBI operation and considered whether Tony Stark would help, but decided to wait for Nick Fury instead.
• Henry blamed the Skrulls for the damage and resolved to make them pay.

Henry retrieved equipment from the hidden space beneath Sheep Cave Valley Laboratory and prepared a Kevlar night suit to conceal his identity while committing crimes. Wearing it as Black Super, he returned to Louisiana and cautiously approached Maria Rambeau's home to watch the Skrulls.

• Henry returned to Sheep Cave Valley Laboratory while Kitty explored the wilderness nearby.
• Henry entered a concealed cave beneath the laboratory, where he stored sensitive items and dirty money.
• Henry collected and put on a self-made Kevlar night suit designed to hide his appearance and protect his clothes from gunfire.
• Henry named his disguised persona Black Super and flew back to Maria Rambeau's home in Louisiana.
• Black Super landed ten kilometers away and stealthily approached while monitoring the Skrulls.

Black Super watched the Skrulls modify the Quinjet and assessed their technology, hidden intentions, and fragile plan to escape the Kree. As Carol Danvers and her allies prepared to pursue the mission, he stayed hidden and weighed how to collect compensation from the Skrulls without causing repercussions.

• Black Super counted fifteen Skrulls working on the Quinjet and wondered whether additional Skrulls had infiltrated Earth or were operating beyond General Talos's control.
• Black Super examined the Quinjet's fusion engine, artificial gravity system, and shield, concluding that the Skrulls relied on advanced materials Earth could not reproduce.
• Black Super decided the Skrulls had withheld information and considered how to retaliate for their earlier actions while avoiding consequences.
• Maria Rambeau joined Carol Danvers's mission after Monica encouraged her, while the group faced a time limit before Yon-Rogg and the Kree Starforce caught up.
• Black Super pieced together the Skrulls' plan to find the energy core and flee, but noted its many uncertainties and questioned General Talos's true objective.

Black Super secretly observed the Kree forces and mapped Mar-Vell’s Kree Cruiser while Carol Danvers and her allies recovered the Tesseract and reunited with the Skrulls aboard. He left the Space Stone alone and focused on finding the cruiser’s Kree knowledge database, especially information about Krypton.

• Black Super watched the Kree warship from orbit and estimated that more than fifty Kree soldiers could be deployed against Nick Fury and the others.
• Carol Danvers’s Quinjet entered Mar-Vell’s concealed Kree Cruiser as the Kree warship prepared attack craft and a troop carrier.
• Black Super secretly approached the cruiser’s underside and mapped its structure using vibrations and Kryptonian X-Ray Vision.
• Black Super discovered that only about a dozen Skrulls were aboard, while Carol Danvers’s group recovered the Tesseract and General Talos reunited with them.
• Black Super suspected Nick Fury wanted to transfer the Tesseract from the U.S. military to S.H.I.E.L.D., but decided the Space Stone was too dangerous to pursue.
• Black Super set his sights on the cruiser’s data storage device, hoping to learn Kree technology and find information about Krypton.

Black Super infiltrated the Kree cruiser to find Mar-Vell’s research data, but the Kree’s language and search parties forced him to trace the ship’s wiring instead. After reaching a mainframe compartment, he began figuring out how Kree technology stored data and believed he was close to finding the target.

• Black Super entered the cruiser through a maintenance hatch by phasing through its molecular gaps.
• He found a terminal but could not read its Kree-language interface, so he decided to trace the wiring to locate the ship’s data storage.
• Black Super avoided Kree search teams that had captured the Skrulls, Nick Fury, and the others, taking detours through the cruiser.
• He reached a compartment with a mainframe and an inactive backup generator, after ruling out other areas as possible locations for Mar-Vell’s research data.
• Black Super tested the terminal and studied changes in heat to work out how Kree technology operated, bringing him close to an answer.

Black Super took advantage of the chaos aboard the Kree ship to ambush a squad and capture a Kree soldier. He used the soldier’s Universal Translator, but remained unsure how the device worked.

• The ship’s power became unstable as Captain Marvel erupted in her Binary Form, while Black Super decided to stay focused on protecting Nick Fury and pursuing his own goals.
• Black Super realized Kree fighters outside the ship posed a major danger to Nick Fury and the others as Kree troops moved to suppress them.
• Black Super hid beside a doorway and used Super Speed to knock down three Kree soldiers before subduing them.
• Black Super kept one soldier conscious and ordered him to activate his wristband’s Universal Translator.
• The Kree soldier addressed Black Super through the translator and threatened him, leaving Black Super wondering how the device translated languages.

Black Super forced a captured Kree to read computer text so he could decipher Kree writing, then fought Starforce elite Bron-Char when he arrived aboard the cruiser. After incapacitating Bron-Char, Black Super fled as more Kree converged on him.

• Black Super questioned a captured Kree about translating devices and made him read the text on a computer screen.
• Black Super used Super Brain and the captive's readings to gradually decipher Kree writing.
• A heated throwing knife flew through the doorway, and Black Super dodged it as Starforce warrior Bron-Char entered.
• Black Super and Bron-Char exchanged names and fought, with Black Super knocking Bron-Char down in a swift combination.
• Black Super slammed Bron-Char through a bulkhead and fled as more Kree approached.

Black Super sneaked into Mar-Vell's laboratory and stole the Kree and Skrull data crystals he had come for. As he weighed taking more equipment, he learned that the escaping Quinjet had come under attack from a Kree fighter.

• Black Super avoided the Kree soldiers as they moved to intercept the escaping Skrulls, Nick Fury, and Maria Rambeau.
• Black Super reached Mar-Vell's laboratory and found the Kree data crystals among the seedlings.
• Black Super took all fourteen storage crystals, including those he suspected the Skrulls had brought aboard.
• Black Super considered stealing a Kree read-write device but hesitated because his haul already made him look like a burglar.
• The Quinjet fleeing the Kree Cruiser encountered an attack from a Kree fighter.

Black Super left the Kree Cruiser and disabled the engines of nearly every Kree fighter attacking Maria Rambeau’s overloaded Quinjet. One shielded command craft escaped him and pursued the Skrulls as Black Super descended toward the planet.

• With Maria Rambeau struggling to evade the Kree fighters and Captain Marvel held back, Black Super used Super Speed to leave the cruiser and enter space.
• Black Super targeted the main engines of the Kree fighters and destroyed them, leaving the craft drifting and unable to use their energy weapons.
• A Kree Starforce pilot protected the command craft’s engines with its shields, surviving Black Super’s attack as he continued toward the planet.
• The surviving pilot, Minn-Erva, followed Commander Yon-Rogg’s orders and pursued the Quinjet, targeting the Skrulls as the Kree Empire’s first-priority enemy.

Black Super returned to the battlefield and questioned Yon-Rogg about Krypton while Captain Marvel intercepted the Kree missiles. He left Yon-Rogg’s answer pending as he tried to learn whether the Kree account differed from what the Skrulls had told him.

• Black Super hid the stolen Kree storage device in Sheep Cave Valley Laboratory and returned to the battlefield in his black suit.
• Ronan ordered four Kree warships to launch ballistic warheads at planet C-53, and Black Super criticized Asgard for failing to intervene.
• Captain Marvel entered her Binary state and destroyed the missiles before they could strike the surface.
• Yon-Rogg emerged from his flyer and confronted Black Super, who asked what he knew about Krypton.
• Black Super summarized the Skrulls’ account of Krypton and watched Yon-Rogg closely as he asked for the Kree version.
