We know Captain Marvel has her own movie coming next year,
before the next Avengers film. And while we're still not certain where she
falls in the Marvel Cinematic Universe timeline, we're pretty sure the movie
will focus on her origin story from the '90s -- and that Avengers: Infinity War
end-credits scene makes it super likely she'll appear in the next Avengers
film.
Based on several storylines and character arcs in the comics, here are a few interesting facts you must know about the literal force to reckon with, Captain Marvel.
1. Carol Danvers
started out in the comics as a United States Air Force fighter pilot. She later
became NASA’s security chief.
2. In the first
version of her origin story, Carol Danvers took up the moniker of ‘Ms. Marvel’.
It was derived from 'Mar-Vell', the superhero from whom she got her powers.
3. After officially taking up
the mantle of Captain Marvel, she donned her elite blue and red outfit.
4. While she didn't
make an appearance in the film, she was an integral part of Marvel's Civil War.
She was initially pro-registration and on team Iron Man.
5. However, in Civil
War II, she leads her own faction fighting an ideological battle opposite Iron
Man.
6. Captain Marvel
will be the first female superhero in the MCU to get a solo film. She’ll be
played by Oscar-winner.
7. Carol Danvers has
been a part of several superhero teams such as The X-Men, The Avengers,
Guardians of the Galaxy, S.H.I.E.L.D., New Avengers, Defenders and the
Starjammers.
8. In one storyline
she loses all her powers when she gets touched by the mutant superhero
Rogue.
9. She was once
romantically involved with fellow Air Force officer, James Rhodes aka War
Machine.
10.
She attained her powers after absorbing the genetic template of Kree superhero,
Mar-Vell. This made her a perfect Kree-human hybrid.
11. DC also had a
character called Captain Marvel.
While there are several Marvel characters who've donned the
name, even the DC hero Shazam was initially known as Captain Marvel. However, a
legal dispute between the companies made DC alter his title.
12. In one
controversial storyline, Carol was shown to have an alcohol problem following
the death of her boyfriend and loss of powers.
