Marvel followers and superhero nerds are losing their minds right now. After rumors surrounding the possible solo movie featuring the "Black Panther" and "Captain Marvel" made the rounds last August, the studio has just announced that the two movies will be coming soon. In fact, Black Panther (a.k.a. T’Challa) is scheduled to be released on 3 November 2017 while Captain Marvel (a.k.a. Carol Danvers) will grace the screens on 6 July 2018.
The interest was focused more on the superheroine who goes by the monicker "Ms. Marvel," "Warbird," among other bunch of lamer names until taking the "Captain Marvel" name in 2012.
Even the "Captain Marvel" name was held by multiple Marvel superheroes through the decades, most of them dudes, until Carol came. Possessing flight and super strength, Carol got not only the name but also her own solo series (also called Captain Marvel) written by a firebrand artist Kelly Sue DeConnick.
Comic purists are already aware the Carol is a former Air Force personnel who turned CIA. In the course of her battle with Colonel Yon-Rogg, Carol and the Kree warrior Mar-vell were caught in the explosion of a Kree Psyche-Magneton device. The energy bombardment somehow caused Carol’s genetic structure to be melded with Mar-vell's.
While Mar-vell was apparently unaltered by the event, Carol was now a perfect hybrid of Kree and human genes. In addition, she possessed all of Mar-vell's Kree knowledge and training. Through this transformation, "Ms. Marvel" was born.
Carol was again exposed to the energies of a Kree Psyche-Magnetron which imbued her with some of the properties which formally resided in her Kree uniform (namely flight and the ability to change into costume at will). Her hybrid physiology renders her immune to most poisons and other toxins, and she also possesses some precognitive abilities. She also joined the Avengers and caught the attention of Marcus, the son of Immortus, who later impregnated her.
However, the most notable episode in Carol's life was when she engaged X-Men's "Rogue" after the former was informed by "Destiny" that she would be involved in an event that would destroy the life of "Mystique's" foster daughter.
Though the "Captain Marvel" comics hasn’t topped the sales charts, it’s been a fan phenomenon unlike anything the comics world has seen in years. It sparked the creation of the so-called "Carol Corps," a loose confederation of hundreds of people who gather online and at conventions to celebrate Carol achievements and the joy of reading superhero comics.
Hopefully, the adventures of Carol Danvers will continue for several more movies and maybe could be a spin-off to a TV series. It is also worth suggesting that comic purists all over the world overwhelmingly supports the character of Carol as "Captain Marvel" instead of the proposal of writer G. Willow Wilson to transfer the mantle to a 16-year-old daughter of Pakistani immigrants living in Jersey City named Kamala Khan in the spirit of 'imposed' diversity.
