What You Need to Know About Captain Marvel
Just like any superhero in comic books, Captain Marvel has had a varied origin and identity over the years. She was first introduced as an Officer in the United States Air Force and a colleague of Mar-Vell, the Kree superhero (and original Captain Marvel), in 1968. She later became the first incarnation of Ms. Marvel in 1977 before debuting as Captain Marvel in her own series run. She has featured in a ton of different comic book lines, from X-Men to Avengers, over the years under the names Warbird, Binary, and Captain Marvel. Her most recent run will begin in July 2018, as she headlines the new series titled The Life of Captain Marvel. It is said to be a retelling of the hero’s origin and is intended to share a lot of its DNA with the upcoming movie.
