Captain Marvel, also known as Carol Danvers, is a superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. Created by writer Roy Thomas and artist Gene Colan, Carol Danvers first appeared as a supporting character in Marvel Super-Heroes 1968. Over the years, she has evolved into one of Marvel’s most prominent and powerful heroes.
Carol Danvers started her superhero career as a United States Air Force officer and security chief at a military base. Through a series of events, she was caught in an explosion involving alien technology, and her DNA fused with that of the Kree alien Mar-Vell, a previous Captain Marvel. This accident resulted in Carol gaining superhuman abilities, including enhanced strength, speed, durability, and the ability to fly. She also possesses energy manipulation powers, allowing her to project and absorb various forms of energy.
Carol Danvers initially adopted the superhero identity of Ms. Marvel, operating as a member of the Avengers and later as a solo hero. In 2012, she took on the mantle of Captain Marvel as a tribute to the original Mar-Vell. As Captain Marvel, she has become a leading figure in the Marvel Universe, taking part in major storylines and playing a pivotal role in events like the “Infinity” and “Civil War II” story arcs.
In addition to her comic book appearances, Captain Marvel has gained significant popularity outside of the comics. She has appeared in various animated adaptations and made her live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) portrayed by actress Brie Larson. The character starred in the standalone film “Captain Marvel” in 2019 and played a key role in the MCU’s blockbuster film “Avengers: Endgame.”
