Kamala Khan faces a personal and political crisis when a second superhero civil war divides her community and her loyalties. Captain Marvel utilizes a new Inhuman’s ability to see the future to practice predictive justice, arresting individuals for crimes they have not yet committed. Kamala initially joins this preemptive task force in Jersey City, but she quickly confronts the ethical consequences when the system targets her friends and neighbors based on data rather than actions. She must decide whether to remain a loyal protégé to Carol Danvers or protect the civil liberties of her hometown from algorithmic policing.
