They start to suffocate in the asteroid's poisonous atmosphere, but are helped by a nearby thyamite prospector named Shabby Allus, who gives them helmets to breathe. Seeing the star on Captain Marvel's costume, Allus assumes he's the Marshall he sent for, though Mar-Vell protests that his name isn't "Mar-Shall". Rick, using his Nega-Band, acts on an idea he had and transmutes the matter of his clothes into a red and blue costume more appropriate for the setting, joking that he might call himself "Marvel Boy". Mar-Vell is alarmed that Rick is finding more uses for the Nega-Bands than he ever did; Drax the Destroyer cameo. The letters page contains Marvel Value Stamp series B # 18 (the Fantastic Four).
