Several different characters throughout Marvel’s long and colorful history have used the name Captain Marvel. It has come to represent warriors of the highest order, those defending not only the Earth but all the cosmos, as well. The very first Captain Marvel was a transplanted alien warrior by the name of Mar-Vell. A play on his name granted him the alias of a fighter for peace across the stars. The woman that followed him, Carol Danvers, became imbued with Mar-Vell’s wondrous powers. Over the years, the title of Captain Marvel has been passed down by several more people, some of whom were Mar-Vell’s own children. But it was the third person to take up the mantle of Captain Marvel, who is perhaps the most powerful of them all, a woman who has not only proven herself to be worthy of the name Captain Marvel, but also as an exemplary leader, friend, and defender, as well. Monica Rambeau has used many names throughout her career as a superhero, but the name of Captain Marvel is the one that suits her the best and is the most representative of her marvelous feats and powers.
