During times of great crisis, the Uni-Power has been known to grant people the spectacular powers of Captain Universe. But when the Uni-Power is malfunctioning, it must bond with some of the Marvel Universe’s greatest heroes in order to prevent a disaster of galactic proportions in Captain Universe Event Month.
“Captain Universe has always been a bit of an enigma in the Marvel Universe,” says editor Mark Paniccia. “There’s no origin, no back-story, no home world. Amazing Fantasy #13 and #14 begin to unravel that enigma, kicking off the Captain Universe Event Month which-in turn-leads to a cosmic quest that will answer all the questions that even the Uni-Power doesn’t know.”
After the return of Captain Universe in the 8-page bonus stories of Amazing Fantasy #13 and #14, the 5th week Captain Universe event kicks into high gear with five one-shots, where the Uni-Power bestows Hulk, Daredevil, X-23, Invisible Woman, and Silver Surfer with the cosmic might of Captain Universe.
Captain Universe/Hulk, Captain Universe/Daredevil, Captain Universe/X-23, Captain Universe/Invisible Woman, and Captain Universe/Silver Surfer make up the 5-part reintroduction of Captain Universe as one of the most powerful heroes in Marvel history. And if those five legendary heroes weren’t enough, the head of the Imperial Guard, Gladiator, and the all-new Scorpion also make guest-appearances.
Cosmic-wide implications are guaranteed as the conclusion of the Captain Universe event leads into an all-new, upcoming Captain Universe limited series.
And what is a Captain Universe Event Month without a classic trade paperback of the hero’s greatest adventures? In Captain Universe: Power Unimaginable TPB, watch the Uni-Power grant powers to ordinary people and super-heroes alike, including the Amazing Spider-Man and the Incredible Hulk.
Marvel’s previous 5th week events, Age of Apocalypse and Last Hero Standing, have been major hits with both fans and retailers. Captain Universe Event Month is sure to be an instant classic as the event sets up future Marvel cosmic storylines and reestablishes Captain Universe as the hero that could be you.
