The newly launching Captain Marvel series by Alyssa Wong and Jan Bazaldua will debut a new villain for the series in its first issue in October, dubbed Carol Danvers' deadly new archenemy, The Omen of The Undone as well as her new ally. street-thief Yuna.

The epic new run will kick off when a horrific cosmic entity known as the Undone realizes that Captain Marvel is the only hero mighty enough to stop it from devouring Earth whole and sends its mysterious herald, the Omen, ahead to take Carol off the board! When the Omen's plan to imprison Captain Marvel goes awry, Carol finds herself linked to a street-smart young thief named Yuna. Yuna represents the only chance Carol has to escape the Omen's trap, but Yuna is no hero, and they'll have to learn from each other if they have a chance even confronting the Undone! Fans can meet both the Omen and Yuna now in Stephen Segovia's CAPTAIN MARVEL #2 cover as well as Jan Bazaldua's original design sheets!

On the characters, Wong shared: "The Omen is a villain with corruptive magic, a mysterious connection to the Negative Zone, and the ability to devour energy. She's been looking forward to meeting Carol for a hot minute. Yuna Yang is a full-time college student and recreational cat burglar, morally flexible with a heart of… gold? Her hunt for the Nega-Bands leads her straight to Carol–and into trouble. I love a good reluctant team-up story. Pairing the leader of the Avengers with a casual, cheerful criminal leads to a fun dynamic and all kinds of shenanigans. As for the Omen… well, turns out Carol and Yuna's lives might intersect more than they think."
