Age: 20's
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Side: Good
Affiliation: Avengers
Description:
Personality: Carol’s personality is as complex as is her history, considering the one is affected by the other. Carol is a feminist and is both strongly independent as well as self-reliant. She has always been a woman to challenge the gender gap, believing that she can do anything she puts her mind to. Carol is acutely aware of and sensitive to sexist attitudes and a staunch believer in her capabilities as a woman. As a result of these beliefs, she is an incredibly confident and strong-willed individual, in spite of the mental and physical experiences that have affected her life. Carol has taken what she has learned and overcome tremendous odds both, personally and professionally. She has a warrior spirit and raw will power that has been compared to Storm of the X-Men. These personality traits have allowed her to endure physical and mental torture and to maintain both sanity and focus under extremely stressful and painful conditions.
Powers/Abilities: Superhuman Strength: Carol is superhumanly strong and is typically able to lift about 70 tons. However, since she is able to absorb various types of energy, she can use this energy to temporarily increase her physical strength to levels similar to that of her time as Binary. Hence, she is ultimately capable of lifting in excess of 100 tons.
Superhuman Speed: She is capable of running and accelerating to high speeds which a human could never achieve.
Superhuman Stamina: Carol's musculature produces considerably less fatigue toxins during physical activity than the musculature of an ordinary human. She can physically exert herself at peak capacity for about 24 hours before fatigue begins to impair her. However, she is capable of channeling absorbed energy to further increase her stamina to higher levels.
Superhuman Durability: The tissues of her body are considerably harder and more resistant to physical injury than those of an ordinary human. Ms. Marvel is capable of withstanding high caliber bullets, great impact forces, falls from great heights, exposure to temperature and pressure extremes, and powerful energy blasts without sustaining injury. While channeling the energy she has absorbed, her body's resilience is extended to an even greater degree, even allowing her to survive in the vacuum of space for extended periods of time.
Superhuman Agility: Carol's agility, balance, and bodily coordination are enhanced to levels that are beyond the natural physical limits of even the finest human athlete.
Superhuman Reflexes: Her reflexes are heightened in a similar manner and are superior to those of the finest human athlete.
Flight: Carol is capable of propelling herself through the air at tremendous speeds. She is capable of reaching at least Mach 3 in an Earth-like environment.
Minor Molecular Control: She can use absorbed energy to transform her regular clothing into her costume and vice-versa.
Photonic Blasts: Carol can fire powerful concussion blasts of photon and stellular light energy from her hands and fingertips.
Energy Absorption: Her body is capable of absorbing various types of energy for the purpose of temporarily enhancing her own physical attributes, even if the energy is of a magical or mystical nature.
Multilingual: Carol is fluent in English, Russian, and another unrevealed Earth language, as well as Kree, and Shi'ar languages. She speaks passable Rajaki and has a limited vocabulary in many other languages.
Expert Pilot: Carol is an accomplished pilot, having extensive experience with USAF planes as well as with Kree, Shi'ar and other alien starships.
Expert Combatant: She is extensively trained in armed and unarmed combat, including numerous martial arts. This would include Modern Army Combatives training in Boxing, Brazillian Jujitsu, Muay Thai, Judo and Escrima.
Talented Journalist: Carol is talented journalist excelling as a freelance writer and magazine editor.
History: Carol Danvers was born in Boston, Massachusetts, as the only girl of a large family. Despite the fact that Carol was extremely bright and capable, more so than any of her brothers, her chauvinistic father refused to pay for her to attend college, preferring to spend the money on his sons instead. He insisted that Carol merely find a good husband to take care of her, a sexist notion that the fiercely independent Carol refused to accept.
Carol had always loved the idea of flying, and after she graduated from high school she decided to defy her father's wishes and joined the United States Air Force. She excelled in the Air Force, becoming a skilled jet pilot and distinguishing herself enough that she was recruited into the Central Intelligence Agency. As an agent of the CIA, Carol often teamed up with fellow agent Michael Rossi, and the two became romantically involved. She also teamed up with a Canadian agent named Logan (before he became Wolverine) and the two became good friends, saving each other's lives during several dangerous missions, and it was even implied that they may have become more than friends at some point.
On one of her most important CIA missions, Carol had to infiltrate Soviet airspace alongside Logan and an American test pilot named Ben Grimm (before he became the Thing and a member of the Fantastic Four). The mission almost failed when they were intercepted by Soviet forces (led by the Black Widow) and forced to the ground. With a good amount of luck, the three managed to escape and succeeded in retrieving the mysterious metal which they had been sent to obtain. In the process, the trio formed a bond that would live on into their super-hero careers.
During what would prove to be her final CIA mission, Carol was captured by the KGB and held in Lubyanka prison, where she endured interrogation and torture. In defiance of government orders, Logan and Michael Rossi infiltrated Russia, broke into Lubyanka, and rescued Carol. The ordeal extinguished Carol's enthusiasm for being a CIA agent, so she decided to resign in order to pursue a different career.
Carol's impressive resume landed her a position as the head of security of NASA headquarters in Cape Canaveral. Her CIA background made her quite unafraid to put herself in potentially dangerous situations, and while on the job she suddenly found herself an uncomfortably close witness to an epic battle between the Kree super-hero Mar-Vell (aka Captain Marvel) and his arch-enemy Yon-Rogg. During the conflict Carol was accidentally knocked into an otherworldly device called the Kree psyche-magnitron, which had the power to turn thoughts into reality. Carol's dreams of flight and her envy of Mar-Vell's powers caused her DNA to be transformed into that of a superhuman member of the Kree race.
The result was that Carol emerged from the psyche-magnitron with superhuman strength and durability, the ability to fly, fighting skills equal to that of a trained Kree warrior, and a precognitive "seventh sense" that allowed her to sense beforehand when danger or a crisis was about to occur. Carol become the super-heroine known as Ms. Marvel, and her first costume was based on the red-and-blue Kree uniform worn by Captain Marvel. Initially, Carol was not even aware of her superhuman alter-ego: When her seventh sense detected a crisis, she would fall unconscious and transform into Ms. Marvel in a burst of energy. As Ms. Marvel, she had no recollection of being Carol Danvers and was convinced that she had amnesia. In turn, Carol retained no memory of being Ms. Marvel, and believed that she had merely been unconscious during that time. Eventually Carol would discover that she was in fact Ms. Marvel and her two personas became of one mind, allowing Carol to have full control over when she became Ms. Marvel and vice versa.
As Ms. Marvel, Carol quickly gained the reputation of being a formidable super-hero in her own right. She fought and defeated many super-powered villains, including Scorpion, Grotesk, MODOK and AIM, Tiger Shark, Destructor, the Doomsday Man, and others. She also acquired some persistent enemies due to her super-heroics, including the renegade Shi'ar warrior known as Deathbird and the shape-shifting mutant villainess known as Mystique. The latter plotted to destroy Ms. Marvel in secret, which eventually led to Mystique's adopted mutant daughter, Rogue, entering a fateful battle with Carol that would emotionally scar both women forever.
But in the meantime, Carol had come into her own as a super-hero, and decided she wanted a costume that was uniquely hers rather than being a reflection of Captain Marvel's. With some help from her friend Janet Van Dyne (the fashion-conscious super-heroine known as the Wasp), Carol designed a new black one-piece uniform with a gold lightning bolt across the chest, accented by high black boots and gloves. She kept the red scarf as a reminder of her original costume, though she now wore it as a red sash tied around her waist. The costume would become Ms. Marvel's signature look, and though Carol would set it aside on certain occasions (once when she became Binary, and another time when she changed her code name to Warbird), she has always gone back to this costume. Respect for Ms. Marvel in the super-hero community grew to the point where she was asked to join the super-team the Avengers, Carol gratefully accepted.
