What you need to know about Captain Marvel, who will be in the next 'Avengers' movie (SPOILERS)
The character, whose real name is Carol Danvers, was introduced in "Marvel Super-Heroes" Issue 13 in 1968. Danvers is one of many to have taken the title of Captain Marvel.
After being exposed to alien Kree technology, she becomes Ms. Marvel. It isn't until 2012 that she takes the title of Captain Marvel in the comic books.
The Kree are the alien race that Ronan belongs to. Jude Law's character in the "Captain Marvel" movie, Mar-Vell, is also Kree.
In the comics, Mar-Vell is the first Captain Marvel and a Kree military officer. He'll most likely act as a sort of mentor to Danvers in the movie.
Danvers has superhuman strength, speed, and flight, and she can absorb energy to project it back at her enemies — something that will probably help in a fight against Thanos.
The move to give Danvers a solo comic book as Ms. Marvel in the 1970s was regarded as progressive. Captain Marvel will also be the first female character in the MCU to get her own movie, after "Wonder Woman" last year paved the way for critically and commercially successful superhero films driven by women.
