Origin

When Captain Mar-Vell of The Kree was sent on an undercover mission on Earth, he modified his Universal Beam from a pistol to a wrist mounted blaster. Something which has become standard issue for all Kree affiliates amongst the empire, such an alternation being utilized by the likes of doctor Min-Erva and captain At-Lass. The Uni-Beam's first victim was ironically a Kree Sentry in Captain Marvel #1 (May 1968).

Creation

Captain Marvel's Uni-Beam was created by Stan Lee, Roy Thomas and Gene Colan in 1968.

Properties

Ordinarily utilized as handheld side-arms, the Universal Beam weapon has the capacity to be alternated into something more unassuming for the sake of clandestine field work. Having been worked down into a wristwatch like sidearm that stands invisible to most weapons detection facilities. The ray emission can have its intensity range, as well as arc spread, moded from stun to lethal settings when dealing with certain subjects of interest or to cover wide areas of effect. Asides from being a blast weapon, the Uni-Beam can create magnetic force fields, project a black light that blinds anyone in its arc, both disintegrate and reassemble solid objects and project cloaking fields that render their wearers invisible to most forms of surveillance and observation.
