Beautiful scans darthgoober, that goes to show that MarVell is a team wrecker, and that's still not the most powerful version of him. Bigbran i love how you're showing MarVell's beginning, this is a privilege for KMC.
Captain Marvel #17.
Here Rick Jones dons the Bands, for the first time. Him and Mar-Vell now share a bond, they can talk to each other, etc. Mar-Vell tells him to slam the bands, and he does. Mar-Vell now comes back to Earth... but there is a side effect, they switch places. Rick Jones goes to the Negative Zone, and Mar-Vell goes back to Earth, and vice-versa.

He was the child abandoned by his parents to a heartless Kree military acadamy when he was nine. His father designed military starships, and young Mar-Vell devoured ship schematics like Terran children colleced sports cards and memorized statistics.
He was to become one of the Kree Empire's most impressive warriors, admired by all - except the bigoted blue Kree, who hated him for having attained a degree of skill, of honor, and of courage that they couldn't match.
He was to become one of the most notorious traitors to the Kree Empire, standing against his own people in favor of the people of Earth. Later, as the Protector of the Universe, he would stand against his own people in their relentless drive for galactic domination.
He would become the only Kree warrior to ever be decorated by the Skrullian Empire.
When Ego imbued him with cosmic awareness, he saw how hollow his life as the penultimate Kree soldier had been - how fleeting and pointless the ostensible glory of war, and how the weak needed a protector, one who would use just enough force to protect them. A consummate warrior, strategist, and tactician, firmly dedicated to protecting. Protecting everything. Protecting the Universe.
Mar-Vell didn't flinch before the unspeakable evil of Thanos. He didn't flinch against the slow, creeping death which would take him from us.
Right after, he goes and fights Hulk again. This time, he shows an awesome pressure point strike, which stuns Hulk, and then, he HESITATES to strike Hulk. That hesitation keeps Hulk in it, and then Hulk punches him back (he gets clocked right on the chin, so it shows the other shot was just because Mar-Vell was shocked), and Mar-Vell's three hours expire (he only has three hours, and then reverts to Rick Jones).
