Where Stalks the Sentry!

Story  on  Interior Page(s)
Subject Matter
Genres: science fiction, superhero
Character(s): Captain Marvel [Captain Mar-Vell] (steals the identity of Walter Lawson); Una; Jeremy Logan; Carol Danvers (introduction); General Bridges; Walter Lawson (death); Sentry #459; Yon-Rogg
First Line: In the dim half-light of a cheap hotel room...
Synopsis: Yon-Rogg continues to plot against Mar-Vell, launching a secret attack that kills bystander Walter Lawson. Taking advantage of the situation, Mar-Vell assumes Lawson's identity and his new job at the nearby military base so that the Kree can continue their plans for the conquest of Earth. Later, he is surprised to find that the military has discovered an inert Kree Sentry, which is reactivated by Yon-Rogg and threatens to destroy the base.

Disclose Notes: This story is continued in Marvel's Space-Born Superhero! Captain Marvel (Marvel, 1968 series) #1 (May 1968).
Captain Mar-Vell conveniently steals the identity of collateral casualty, physicist Dr. Walter Lawson, just assigned to the military base! He thus acquires his first covert identity. Lawson has no background otherwise. A plot from Lawson's past emerges in Captain Marvel #9 under Arnold Drake.
The feature character is still only called Mar-Vell in balloons (pages 6, 7, 9, 10, 13, 14, 19) and by the narrator (pages 11, 12), who also identifies him as a space officer (pages 11, 20).
