CAROL DANVERS STATUE

The costume is growing on me.
I just wish her book had a better artist...

I thought she was Binary! What is this Captain MArvel thing?

Carol actually hasn't been Binary in years. She reverted from her cosmic powered form with training and psych help from the X-Men. She will transform into binary on occasion but typically she needs external stimuli/power source. Carol then took the codename WarBird before returning to her original Ms. Marvel code name where her powers have more or less stayed un altered. After a while though her relationship with the Avengers and other super heroes left her annoyed and dissalussioned. The premise of her becoming Captain Marvel is that she is fed up with taking the back seat. She's a big cosmic gun and wants to be respected like one. She takes inspiration from her childhood hero a WWII pilot who was denied combat because she was a female. "Helen would have punched holes in the sky...""I'm taking the damn name...""Death and dignity be damned". Mar-Veil and Genis dead, Monica doesn't want the name, Noh-Varr doesn't think he's worthy and Hulkling is intimidated by his fathers legacy. So there was no one to contest Carol becoming THE Captain Marvel. Sorry for the rant but I've been loving her current story so much I couldn't resist blathering on about it lol.

no nega bands,..no captain Mar-vell

-love Mrs Danvers tho :)

( and on a side note, i still refuse to acknowledge the ridiculous rec-con of Mar-vell and the Skrull princess having an a affair..( I like Hulkling even tho its a lame name, but he's not their son...he's just not...))

-Mar-vell has NO heirs,...I hate it when bringing a child who no one has ever heard of before into the fold is considerd clever or "brilliant" writing and plot device. goes along the same lines of alter genders bc ya know, ...you HAVE to represent both sexes....

The art has kept me from getting that book. Seems to be the wrong style. Liked the art in CM's Avenging S-M instead. Cleaner lines, less 'gritty'. As soon as the art changes, I'll probably pick it up.
