The world of comics is simply vast and very confusing. Large publishers (like Marvel and DS) have been writing their universe since the 1940s. Therefore, following your favorite characters is not an easy task. The origin of the comic book characters is constantly changing. They either kill the character, then replace it with someone else, or simply reboot.
Miss Marvel is a superhero who has been hit hard by publisher policies. The hero is not very popular, it is for this reason that editors are constantly changing the origin of the character, trying to attract the attention of readers. Thus, under the pseudonym Miss Marvel, four different people acted. In this article we will consider the biography of the classic and the very first Ms. Marvel, whose real name is Carol Danvers. Want to know more about this hero? Welcome to this article!
Carol Danvers Marvel
The character was created by an artist named Roy Thomas back in 1968. Initially, Carol Danvers was a member of the US Air Force. Carol played a minor role in the plot, however, due to the active development of feminism, female characters in art began to pay more attention. Thus, Carol Danvers appeared in comics more and more. It got to the point that the character was endowed with superpowers and given his own series of comics called Ms. Marvel, which was produced since 1977.
Biography
From childhood, Carol lived with dreams of aviation and flights. Years later, she got a job in the US Air Force. Due to her perseverance, she quickly moved up the career ladder and rose to the rank of major. The increase opened up a lot of opportunities for her. Carol got the opportunity to participate in secret and dangerous operations, during which she was able to work with such famous heroes as Wolverine, Nick Fury, etc.
When Devners received another promotion and came to work at NASA, she met a newcomer to the Kriya race named Mar-Vel, better known as Captain Marvel. Between Carol and the alien warrior, a special connection is emerging. As a result, they become friends, and later - lovers. It is thanks to these relationships that Carol’s life has changed once and for all.
Captain Marvel’s worst enemy, named Jon Rogg, kidnaps Carol to use as bait. Marvel defeats the villain and rescues his beloved, but during the battle there was an explosion of an alien psycho-magneton device. Kriya energy mixed the genetic structure of Carol and Marvel. Thanks to this, the girl became a kind of hybrid of an alien and a man, having acquired at the same time the superpowers of Captain Marvel.
Super abilities
Miss Marvel can be called a kind of analogue of Wonder Woman. Carol has superhuman strength and endurance, her skin is incredibly strong. A girl can withstand pressure up to 92 tons. In addition, it can fly at a speed of 170 meters per second (approximately half the speed of sound). Perhaps the calling card of this character is manipulation of energy. Miss Marvel can shoot charges from her hands, absorb various types of energy (from thermal to nuclear) in order to get additional strength.
Also, do not forget about the personal qualities of the character. Since Carol has served in the Air Force for a long time, she is a professional spy and highly skilled pilot. In addition, she owns an army hand-to-hand combat.
Further activities
When Carol discovered her superpowers, she took up the battle for the superhero craft, taking the pseudonym Miss Marvel. Initially, the heroine actively interacted with the Avengers and was a full member of the team. Carol later began working with the X-Men. However, there she did not stay long. Due to disagreements with Shelma, Miss Marvel left the team and began to plow the expanses of the Galaxy with Star Extinguishers. Danvers did not return to Earth for quite a while. However, when the home planet was in danger, Miss Marvel returned to help Quasar save the Sun. Defeating the enemies, Carol exhausted her strength. Because of this, she had to stay on Earth for recovery. During rehabilitation, Miss Marvel established her relationship with the Avengers and again became a full member of the superhero team.
Carol Danvers after reboot
As you know, Marvel restarted his universe. As a result, the fate of many characters has changed. Miss Marvel was no exception. The first thing that catches your eye is the new costume that Carol has acquired (photo above). In addition, the concept of the character has changed. At the moment, Carol is one of the main participants in the notorious Guardians of the Galaxy team. In addition, Miss Marvel quite often “visits” the other characters of “Marvel”. Thus, Carol appeared in comics about Spider-Man, Avengers, etc. But most often, Miss Marvel interacts with a heroine nicknamed Spider-Woman.
