Captain Marvel: As Carol Danvers gets a well-deserved share of the spotlight, here's a lowdown on her history

Firstpost  

Editor’s note: The characters — and story-lines — that inhabit popular comic books can be expansive, multidimensional, and often, just plain bewildering. “Preeeetty sure nothing bad can happen when I’m wearing my lucky hat.” – Carol Danvers, Captain Marvel Created by Roy Thomas and Gene Colan, Carol Danvers first appeared in 1968 as a US Air Force pilot and colleague to a disguised Kree infiltrator-turned-hero, Captain Mar-Vell. Recently, Marvel decided to make a change to Carol’s origin story by having her be the daughter of a human male and an elite Kree warrior hero named Mari-Ell. Powers and Abilities Carol Danvers’ power levels and abilities have varied wildly over her run time, reaching its zenith during a short time she spent in space as a cosmically powered entity named Binary that drew her power from White-holes. Character and Philosophy As a character, Carol Danvers’ Captain Marvel is a rationalist and a patriot with a ‘lawful good’ alignment.
