Synopsis for "The Monster Society of Evil, Chapter 5: Captain Marvel Meets Mr. Mind"
A brown-furred polar bear wanders by and notices Billy's frozen form, accidentally tipping him over and shattering the ice before he suffocates. Billy changes to Captain Marvel and lets the bear break its teeth on his arm. Instead of flying hither and yon chasing down every single member of his rogues gallery, Marvel decides to take the fight to Mr. Mind himself. He uses the magic pearls to find the mysterious mastermind's hideout, and sees a strange castle on a distant planet.
Marvel flies to the castle and smashes his way in. He finds and knocks out a goat-like humanoid, surprised at how easily he defeated his nemesis. The voice of Mr. Mind mocks him for thinking it would be so easy, and Marvel also encounters an indestructible robot and an octopus with a human face, until Mr. Mind tells him those were all just false bodies he projected his mind into.
Marvel changes back to Billy in a desperate bid to lure out Mr. Mind while he's vulnerable (and dismissively brushes away a caterpillar on his shoulder while keeping an eye out for his enemy). Mr. Mind, this time in the body of a mustachioed strong man, springs out and captures Billy. The villain tries to use knockout gas on him in order to give Billy brain surgery to turn him into a loyal slave. Billy manages to change to Captain Marvel, who finds Mr. Mind a foe worthy of his mettle, as the two of them are both so strong it takes hours of battle that destroy the entire castle before Marvel finally manages to knock out the villain. The voice of Mr. Mind only mocks him again, saying he's slipped through the heroes' fingers and Marvel never even figured out what he really was, then flies to Earth in his spaceship.
