Chosen from among all others by the immortal elders Solomon, Hercules,

Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, Mercury, Billy Batson and his mentor travel the

highways and byways of the land on a never-ending mission to right wrongs, to

develop understanding, and to seek justice for all. In time of dire need,

young Billy has been granted the power by the immortals to summon awesome

forces at the utterance of a single word.

A word which transforms him in a flash into the mightiest of mortal beings,

Captain Marvel.

back at the TV station could see us now, Mentor.

Just like a picture postcard.

Oh, I got a bite.

Oh, I got a bite.

The net.

Oh.

Hold it.

Oh.

Yeah. It weighs a ton.

The net. The net, Billy.

How big is he?

I don't think it's so funny.

Well, look at the bright side.

At least it's fresh.

It says so right there.

under herself.

Hey, let's have some laughs.

What are you going to do, Jack?

Just relax, will you? You know, sometimes I think you still dig her.

You know that's all over.

Captain Marvel, where'd you come from?

Kind of a long fish story. Are you okay? Yes, I'm fine.

Cherokee!

I'll get her.

Oh, that's okay. She's headed straight for home.

Besides, a little walking will do me good.

My friends would be glad to give you a ride.

That'd be super.

Thanks, Captain Marvel.

to unsettle you.

Kelly?

Did you win all these track awards?

Uh-huh, but always in girls' competition.

This year I'm going out for the varsity track team.

Well, isn't a varsity team strictly for boys?

My dad says if anyone's good enough, they should have the right to compete,

whether they're a boy or a girl.

Your dad's right.

Tell that to the boys.

They'd stop at nothing to keep me off the team.

Don't you think you're exaggerating a little, Kelly?

Not hardly.

Those two guys who spooked Cherokee are on the team, and they don't want a girl

teammate.

Well, I'd better get to school.

Thanks again for the ride. No problem, Kelly. Good luck, Kelly.

Mentor, do you think Kelly was right about that car deliberately frightening

her horse?

Well, they'd have to want her off the team pretty badly to do something like

that, wouldn't they?

The elders.

A welder's fleet and strong and wise appear before my seeking eyes.

We've been watching you, Billy, and are pleased with your progress.

Thank you, Zeus.

I do my best. You are fortunate, Billy, but there are those who are not allowed

to do their best.

I'm not sure I understand, Solomon. You've already met a person who asks

nothing more than the opportunity to try and is denied it. Yet in this person's

success or failure, you can be of no help.

For in the end, each of us must rely upon our own skills for success.

But if that's true, Atlas, what can I do to help?

Bear in mind that even when change is right and just, there are those who,

through their attitudes, resist it. And by helping one person affect change, you

could be helping many people.

Attitudes and things.

What can it mean?

I'm sure you'll understand when the time is right.

Maybe the time is right mentor.

How would you like to watch Kelly practice this afternoon?

Billy I thought you'd never asked You

know

mentor she's even better than I thought she'd be Well, perhaps without realizing

it. We've been judging Kelly as a girl first and then as an athlete I guess old

habits are hard to break.

You must be Billy and Mentor.

Kelly told me about how you helped her this morning.

Yeah, right. It seems like a couple of guys are trying to keep her off the

team. Oh, yeah.

Those two running behind her over there. Does the coach know what they're doing?

Oh, he's talked to them about it, but they just deny everything.

Hey,

Kelly, haven't you heard a woman's place is in the home?

Yeah. Still think you can make the team, Wonder Girl? Sure.

Look at my competition.

Hey, well, let me tell you something, chicky. This is a boys' team, so you can

just forget it.

Hey, what'd you have to do that for?

Ah, she needed it.

Creep!

They did that deliberately.

You've already met a person who asks nothing more than the opportunity to

try. And has denied it.

Now I have had it with those guys.

Jack! Hey, wait.

Let me talk to him.

Kelly needs you right now.

Okay.

Hey, hold up a minute.

You guys have been a little rough on Kelly, haven't you? Hey, that was her

fault. She crossed into my lane.

Look different from here.

What have you guys got against Kelly anyway?

Can't you dig that a girl is as much right as a guy to try out for the team?

Hey, listen, you don't even go to this school, so why don't you just bug off?

Here we go.

Did you hurt yourself?

It's just an ankle twist.

It's loosening up already.

Yeah. Well, no thanks to those clowns.

Kelly, there's something I'd like to discuss with you.

Gee, Mrs. McGill, it sounds serious.

It is, Kelly. It's about your future.

Oh? I know running means a lot to you, but I think you have to decide whether

to be a student or an athlete.

But I can be both.

I'm not so sure.

Don't forget, you have an excellent chance of getting a college scholarship.

I'd hate to see your schoolwork suffer because of track.

Oh, I don't think that'll happen, Mrs. McGill. I've been studying right along.

Just the same.

I'm wondering if it wouldn't be better for you to pursue something less time

-consuming and more ladylike.

I think I am ladylike.

Well, oh, please, think about what I've said, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Goodbye, Mrs. McGill.

Bye-bye.

Man, a college scholarship.

I'd be happy just to pass tomorrow's exam.

Bob, old buddy, we're going to pass tomorrow's exam, and we're going to keep

Kelly off the team at the same time.

means anything, Kelly should do very well in the tryouts tomorrow.

Yet in this person's success or failure, you can be of no help. For in the end,

each of us must rely upon our own skills for success.

That's your best time yet, Kelly.

All right. The way you two were cheering, I didn't dare go any slower.

Wow, Jack.

She turns it on. She's really good.

Yeah. Well, she's going to have the shortest track career in history when

they find these in her locker.

Hey.

What are you guys doing in there?

Don't get so shook, Tom. We're...

Just taking a shortcut.

Tommy, have you seen Kelly?

Oh, yes, ma'am. She just signed in.

Is something wrong?

Yes, Tommy.

Something's very wrong.

May I see you for a moment?

Looks like our girl Wonder's getting shot down in flames.

Yeah.

I tell you, Mrs. McGill, I don't know anything about it. I want to believe

you, Kelly, but these test answers were found in your locker.

And you think I did it?

I don't know what to think anymore, Kelly.

There'll be an investigation tomorrow.

In the meantime, however, she's automatically suspended.

Those are the rules.

Suspended?

I'm afraid you won't be able to run in the tryouts today.

But... Well, looks like the track team will have to wait another year

before any girls try out.

Bear in mind that even when change is right and just, There are those who,

through their attitudes, resist it. And by helping one person affect change, you

could be helping many people.

After all the work Kelly's put in, we can't let her throw it away now.

I just can't believe she'd do a thing like that.

Oh, I feel the same, Tommy.

But it's hard to ignore the fact that these were found in her locker.

Well, perhaps someone else put them there.

Jack and Bob.

I caught them coming out of the girls' locker room yesterday.

You know Kelly's been suspended.

Really? What for?

For something I don't think she did.

These test answers were found in her locker. Now she's not only lost her

chance to make the track team, but she's in danger of losing her scholarship.

I wouldn't want that on my conscience.

Well, I hope you clear this thing up.

Come on, Bob, let's go.

Hold it, Jack.

We planted those answers in Kelly's locker.

Hey, man, what are you saying?

The truth.

It was a crummy thing to do, and I'm sorry.

Well, I appreciate your owning up to this, Bob, but I am afraid that both of

you will be suspended from the team for this.

Hey, the tryouts.

Boy, they start in 15 minutes, and we have no idea where Kelly is.

You think you can find her in time?

Yeah, but I'll have to call an old friend for help.

Holy moly.

Kelly doesn't see that tractor.

What's going on?

Sorry about the inconvenience, but the young lady left me no choice.

Captain Marvel, I... I guess we all try to run away from our problems at one

time or another, Kelly. But I didn't cheat.

I know you didn't.

Bob and Jack admitted to putting those test answers in your locker.

They did?

You'd better hustle if you want to make those tryouts on time.

I don't know how to thank you, Captain Marvel.

I can't take all the credit.

Tommy, Ms. McGill, Billy, and Mentor were all in their pitching turf.

I won't let them down.

And I promise we drive more carefully this time.

I'm very proud of Kelly.

You know, she stuck to her guns and won her opportunity to try.

And that's a sign of a real lady.
