He also while helping Hulk against several Kree notably calls the Kree "scum" something very unlike Steve to say especially when he's supposedly never met any Kree beyond Mar-Vell before but Hulk doesn't seem to catch this.

The episode opens back on Kang the Conqueror's old command ship ''Damocles'', which was taken by [[Recap/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroesS1E18TheKangDynasty S.H.I.E.L.D. for their own purposes]] after he was defeated. Carol Danvers, now an agent of SWORD, is having the time of her life trying to justify an offshoot of S.H.I.E.L.D. formed to deal with extraterrestrial threats, that hasn't actually found any aliens yet. They still haven't quite got the hang of Kang's technology either, as Agent Abigail Brand is shown trying to get the ship's A.I. to respond to even the most basic commands. Just then, the A.I. ''does'' respond -- to the presence of a Kree ship dropping out of warp. The Kree open fire on the ''Damocles'', which powers up shields, but a shuttle heads for the surface with Ms. Marvel in pursuit.

S.H.I.E.L.D. puts out a call to the Avengers for help but before they can arrive, the first response team is wiped out by the Kree advance party, consisting of Yon-Rogg and Ronan the Accuser, with Captain Mar-Vell in tow. They are greeted by Ms. Marvel and a team of SWORD agents, who take out most of the Kree but even with all of her power, she is still no match for Ronan. He heads for New York to deliver an ultimatum to the people of Earth while the Kree ship in orbit teleports boarders onto the ''Damocles'' that start making short work of SWORD.

On the surface, the Avengers arrive and Mar-Vell attempts to persuade them to surrender in order to spare Earth from the coming war. Captain America doesn't even give them time to hear his explanation and an all-out battle begins. Ms. Marvel returns with a vengeance, unwilling to listen to Mar-Vell's pleas. Meanwhile, the Kree take control of the ''Damocles'' A.I. and prepare to turn its weapons against Earth. Agent Brand decides she has had enough and reveals the full extent of her powers by single-handedly retaking the bridge and capturing the Kree boarding party's enslaved hacker. Then she takes it one step further and captures the Kree ship, along with all its technology. Ms. Marvel defeats Ronan after a protracted battle, ending the threat for the moment.

The Kree are rounded up and imprisoned in 42. Mar-Vell reveals that he had managed to persuade the Supreme Intelligence that Earth was an insignificant planet not worthy of notice by the Empire but because they chose to fight, the Kree will see them as a threat and invade. The green-skinned Captain America impersonator knows this too and encourages ''his'' people to move up their timetable as well.
