The Captain Marvel movie is set to be one of the biggest superhero movies ever. And although it may be a bit different than the comics, it’s also packed with some of the most beloved characters in all of Marvel. There’s no doubt that fans of the franchise will be pleased with the way it’s been translated to the big screen. The film is sure to have some surprises for fans who have been following the storyline.
The first Captain Marvel, Mar-Vell, was a Kree military officer who was resurrected in the aftermath of a massive explosion. He brought with him a genetic ally, Phyla-Vell, who claimed his name. The two battled each other throughout the Kree-Skrull War, and Phyla ended up joining the Skrulls. She has since become a leader of her own kind of heroes known as the Quasar.
A few decades after Mar-Vell’s death, another Captain Marvel made her debut. This time it was Monica Rambeau, a New Orleans police officer who gained powers that allowed her to manipulate energy. She became one of Marvel’s highest profile female heroes, and she would go on to lead the Avengers for a while.
The most recent version of the character is played by Brie Larson in the MCU. Her most notable power is her ability to fly and move at the speed of light. Her speed makes it easy for her to evade most attacks from enemies. She can also fire energy bolts from her hands, which are pretty devastating.
