Ready to be (Capt.) Marvel-ed?
BY LAUREN MURPHY Of No Adults Allowed
Over the years there have been several Captain Marvels, but Marvel
Studios will release its fi rst Captain Marvel fi lm this month.
In the comics, Carol Danvers (the character in the
upcoming movie) starts out as a United States Air Force offi cer.
She meets Captain Mar-Vell who is a Kree commander. Mar-Vell
was fi ghting for the Kree, an alien race, in the infamous Kree-
Skrull war.
The Kree are a race of super intelligent warriors. The Skulls
are a race of shape shifters. The Kree-Skrull war was never
really explained, it’s just been going on forever.
During one of the many battles they fought together Danvers
gets hit with a ton of energy and her DNA melds with Mar-Vell’s.
Now she has some powers and takes on the title Ms. Marvel.
Captain Mar-Vell and Ms. Marvel fought side-by-side for years in
the comics.
Eventually, she takes on the title Captain Marvel, she becomes an
Avenger and agent of S.W.O.R.D (an agency that protects Earth from aliens).
In the new movie, her origin story is a little diff erent. Although it’s not totally clear
where she
gets her powers from, the trailer shows her falling from the sky (in her U.S.
Air Force uniform) and blue energy crackles at her fi nger tips. Danvers
comes to Earth and doesn’t remember her past as a human. All she
knows is her life as a Kree commander as the fi lm goes on she gets fl ash
backs about her past and her life on Earth.
One of the strangest things in the trailer (stranger than a young Nick
Fury with two eyes, and aliens) is the cat. There is a clip where Danvers and Fury are
walking down a hall way on what appears to be a mission, Fury stops to pet a cat. Although most fans
of the cinematic universe thought that it was just a cute clip to humanize Nick Fury, comic book fans
recognized the cat as Danvers’s pet in the comic books. Who would’ve thought an alien commander
would have a regular house pet, because he is just a regular cat, right?
