so could this be an ongoing? A "female Marvel version" of World's Finest?

[616MarvelYear is LeapYear]

Given the immense popularity of the live-action versions of the comicbook characters Natasha Romanoff and Carol Danvers, it is to be natural for marvel comics to make a "female Marvel version" of World's Finest series happen..

Captain Marvel #8 Dec 1968
"And Fear Shall Follow!"
A trading vessel piloted by members of the Aakon race, detect a Kree vessel in proximity to the planet Earth.
As age old enemies of the Kree, the Aakon decide to land on the dark side of the moon to avoid detection.
However, their effort proves too late and Yon-Rogg orders his men to attack the Aakon,
in spite of Mar-Vell's warnings that it wouldn't be a good idea.
During the battle on the Moon, Yon-Rogg is injured in combat, and Mar-Vell is forced to kill
the Aakon leader in order to save his superior, and both parties flee the scene of the battle.
Mar-Vell assumes temporary control of the Kree vessel while Yon-Rogg is injured, however he soon returns to Earth.

On Earth, Mar-Vell decides to investigate the home of the late Walter Lawson to turn up
clues about the man's past, partially for Carol Danvers, and partially for his own curiosity.
When he finds a secret lab where something big and humanoid is being constructed, Mar-Vell is attacked by members of the Organization,
who had commissioned Lawson to build a robot to be their perfect assassin for them. Battling the Organization agents, Mar-Vell chases after them,
however they end up crashing their escape vehicle and crash, leaving Mar-Vell with no answers, and the leader of the Organization ordering Mar-Vell's death.

When Mar-Vell reports back to Carol, she kisses him, further fueling the jealousy of Una who watches the interaction from the Kree ship.
The robot built by Lawson -- Cyberex -- has tracked Lawson to the site of his death, and continues to track Lawson,
based on Mar-Vell's contact with Lawson's dead body thanks to the fact that as "Lawson" Mar-Vell carries the late scientist's notepad.

When Cyberex attacks "Lawson", Mar-Vell escapes long enough to change into Captain Marvel.
Marvel battles Cyberex until he seemingly destroys the robot with his Uni-Beam.

However, after everyone clears the area, Cyberex begins its self-repair system.

That story was disturbingly rapey, which is kind of disturbing, especially since it's about a year and a half before Avengers #200.

Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars #1 May 1984
"The War Begins!"
After having entered a mysterious construct that appeared in Central Park in their own respective magazines
(see Amazing Spider-Man #251, Uncanny X-Men #180, Iron Man #181, Incredible Hulk #294,
Thing #10, Thor #341, Avengers #242, Captain America #292, and Fantastic Four #295),

many of Earth's heroes are instantaneously gathered together in a giant construct in space.

The heroes are Captain America, Thor, Captain Marvel, Hawkeye, Iron Man, She-Hulk, Wasp, the Fantastic Four (minus Invisible Woman),
Colossus, Cyclops, Nightcrawler, Professor X, Rogue, Storm, Wolverine, Lockheed, Magneto, Spider-Man and Hulk.
They are unsure as to what or who had brought them to this place. They introduce themselves to each other. They then realize they are not alone.
Across the way another construct appears housing the villains of Earth, according to Professor X's mental probings.
One thing the heroes do not understand, however, is why Magneto appeared in their construct and not the villains'.

In the other construct, the villains are just as confused as the heroes. After the villains introduce themselves to one another,
both ships are hurtled through space to watch a galaxy be destroyed and a new planet be created.
This causes both parties to realize that a very powerful being has summoned them all.
The villains begin to bicker with each other and a fight breaks out.
Ultron tries to destroy them all but is knocked into Galactus.
The villains are all amazed when Galactus simply drains the energy from Ultron,
then goes back to staring at the stars as if everyone is beneath him.

Suddenly, a bright light appears in space and a voice announces who has summoned them all: the Beyonder.
He tells them that he can do anything imaginable and then orders them to battle each other,
promising the winning side will receive whatever they want. Galactus refuses to obey the voice
and tries to fly towards the light to force the Beyonder to give him the power to remove his eternal hunger for planetary energy.
Doctor Doom follows Galactus and, when they get close enough, the light diminishes and they are thrown back.
The constructs are then sent to the newly-constructed planet and the two groups of fighters placed on the planet.
The heroes again question why Magneto is on their side, and begin fighting over if they should defeat him or try to use his help.

Magneto, however, feels that he is "above" most of the heroes, and uses his magnetism to fly away.
The heroes then decide Captain America to be the leader of their group.

Meanwhile, Galactus and Doctor Doom are seen on the planet surface as well after being blasted back by the powerful light.
Galactus is unconscious as Doctor Doom returns to the rest of the villains and tries to convince
them to help him steal the Beyonder's powers instead of going along with the Beyonder's game.
The villains think Doom is simply afraid of playing the Beyonder's game after being shot back by the light,
and Doom is disgusted at their simple minds and takes off in a vehicle to seek out counsel with Mister Fantastic.
Kang uses the grounded construct's weapons and shoots down Doom's vehicle.
The heroes see it go down and move to investigate.

Finding Doctor Doom lying in the rubble, Captain America tries to help him to his feet.
Doom is unable to tolerate the heroes' pity and he attacks them in frustration, before fleeing.
Iron Man warns the heroes they are about to be attacked and the villains unleash the first assault on the final page.
