The Psyche-Magnitron is a fictional device featured in comic books published by Marvel Comics. It is associated with the Captain Marvel line of titles and first appeared in Captain Marvel #18 in November, 1969.

Description & History
The Psyche-Magnitron is a massive machine developed by Kree scientists. It can generate and project powerful waves of energy that alters the physiology of a subject, often bestowing them with great galactic powers. Renegade Kree soldier Yon-Rogg coveted the power of this device in his ongoing battles against Captain Mar-Vell. The Psyche-Magnitron, under Yon-Rogg's control, also created a massive Mandroid robot. During a fight with Mar-Vell, the Psyche-Magnitron was damaged. The Earthling Carol Danvers was exposed to intense radiation from the device, which awakened abilities from her suppressed Kree bloodline. It was following this incident that Danvers first became the costumed hero Ms. Marvel.
