Two
members of the white supremacist group the Sons of the Serpent chase a pair of
Chinese students across the campus of Empire State University, shouting
anti-Japanese rhetoric. Captain Marvel, in town for a business conference, is
flying around the city for fun and hears the victims screaming. She investigates
and fights the two Serpents; their advanced weaponry takes her by surprise,
knocking her flat. One of the thugs blasts her with a charged triple-iron; CM
responds with microwaves, burning the guy with his own weapon. After the police
pick up the hoods, CM flies back to her hotel, entering the window invisibly.
She finds FBI Agent Derek Freeman waiting for her, revealing he knows her
secret identity. He shows her a photo of
Ray Washington, a teacher at the University; he is hosting the minority
business seminar Monica was invited to and he is Freeman’s nephew. Ray is also
organizing campus minority organizations to put together a night patrol to
protect students from attack by groups like the Sons of the Serpent. Freeman
wants Captain Marvel to see that Ray stays safe. He gives her a report on the
Sons of the Serpent; Monica figures she can do better…
…so,
she goes to Avengers Mansion and has a long talk with Captain America about the
Sons. He gives her the inside info and offers the help of the Avengers if she
wants it. CM decides to handle it on her own….
The
next day at ESU, the minority business owners meet with Ray Washington at a
common hall and they learn the Sons of the Serpent are rallying outside. The
Sons fire on the minorities in the crowd. Monica changes into Captain Marvel
and fights back, hitting them hard because she knows they are wearing body
armor. But again, she is overwhelmed and a Serpent chokes her with a charged
triple-iron; this time she turns into pure light, blinding all of the bad guys
and knocking them out. When the police arrive, she has four of the Serpents
subdued—but one of them morphs into a huge bloblike creature which seizes CM
with its tentacles and pulls her inside itself. She spots a human skeleton
inside then she crashes out. The monster, called “Skinhead,” smashes the
building, raining large chunks of masonry on her then it resumes a human form
and flees. CM rises from the rubble, annoyed. Student Robert Farrell reveals to
Monica that he is a part-time superhero called Rocket Racer and tells her all
about Skinhead. He is a student named Eddie Cross who was previously leading a
band of skinheads at ESU which led to Spider-Man coming to the campus to battle
them; in the ruckus, Cross was splashed with a chemical that turned him into
the gelatinous monster CM fought. The strangest part is that Eddie Cross is
Jewish. Cap visits his father Rabbi Chaim Cross who explains how his pride in
his heritage lead to Eddie’s rejection of it all by joining a White supremacist
group. He accompanies Monica back to the school where she learns that Ray’s
minority students’ group is going to confront that evening’s rally of the Sons
of the Serpent….
And
that evening, the Sons of the Serpent arrive and they are met by a
multicultural group of students; But they come in peace, Ray making a speech
against the hate group, leading several of the Serpents to quit the group and
side with the students. Eddie Cross transforms into Skinhead and Rabbi Cross
pleads with him to reject the Sons; Eddie exits the blob monster and embraces
his father. The blob monster, now lacking in human control, goes on a rampage
and CM blows it to bits with some creative use of electromagnetic energy. Those
who witnessed all this vow to make things better….
