Warning: contains spoilers for Spider-Woman #19!
When Captain Marvel famously punched an old woman in the blockbuster hit Captain Marvel, the moment was certainly shocking for fans of the super-powered hero and the Marvel Cinematic Universe at large. A variation of the scene has just been depicted in the comics that blows this moment, however darkly humorous, out of the proverbial water. In Spider-Woman #19, the surprise-punch moment is recreated with Spider-Woman herself stepping for Carol Danvers.
In Captain Marvel, Vers (her Kree name, before rediscovering her past as a human on Earth) pursues a Skrull agent across town.

Finding an elderly woman, Vers ruthlessly punches her in the face. While she later turns out to actually be a Skrull, the moment is replicated with Spider-Woman and another Skrull, the princess Veranke.
