Captain Marvel is considered one of the most (if not the most) powerful avenger. She is played by Brie Larson and since the release of her character on the big screen, the fans from all over can’t help but fall in love with this empowered woman going by the name Captain Marvel/Carol Danvers. This is why more and more people are also now excited to show up as Captain Marvel!
Fall in love with Captain Marvel
For the little girls, she is someone they can aspire to be. Someone strong and brave and fights off the bad guys. Older girls and female adults find themselves either identifying with Captain Marvel or trying to emulate her strong and independent persona.
Her powers? Being strong, fast, and durable, almost untouchable, while also having the ability to fly around and explore space without the need for any suit. She is also able to absorb any energy force attack and throw it back out to the bad guys.
With her blue, red, and white, costume, those who are not familiar with the Marvel universe might consider Captain Marvel the significant other of Captain America. This is far from the truth, though. Through the years, the costumes of Captain Marvel has changed as well, from its initial girly style to its latest form that is designed to resemble a military uniform. After all, Captain Marvel, leads.
But who is Captain Marvel and where does she come from? Is she human?
Captain Marvel Back Story
For context, here is a quick rundown of Captain Marvel’s identity. Originally called Carol Danvers, she was created as the epitome of feminism back in the 1930s.
Carol Danvers was raised by her dad who wanted her to stay at home and be a dutiful housewife. But no, Carol is determined to carve her own path, joined the army, worked for NASA, and became undercover together with aliens. The tagline from the recent film — Better, Faster, Higher — basically sums up her life.
An interesting part of Danvers’ character is her never-ending chase to prove her father wrong. Her dad passed away before she was able to reveal that she is Captain Marvel, however, so this is a part of her that will always long for validation, despite her immense power.
Later in the comics, it was revealed that Carol Danvers was actually half-Kree (technologically advanced militaristic alien race), explaining why she is able to survive time outside earth without the need for any suit.
