H I S T O R Y

Carol Susan Jane Danvers, the youngest child of three was born to Joseph Danvers, Sr. and Marie Danvers in Boston, Massachusetts. When Carol was a young girl, she would hitchhike up to Cape Canaveral to see a shuttle launch. Her father would also beat the tar out of her, but that never stopped her stopped her from wanting to do what she loved most - flying. Since her father didn't want her to go to college, Carol instead joins the United States Air Force upon graduating from high school to pursue her love of aircrafts and fulfill her dreams of flying.

Carol was a top student at the Air Force Academy and enjoyed a rapid career advancement rising to the rank of Major. Because of her stellar performance, superb combat skills and natural intellect, Carol was recruited into the intelligence field. And, for a time she ended up serving with the C.I.A. She was partnered with Colonel Michael Rossi and the two became lovers. Following her affiliation with the C.I.A., Carol took a position with N.A.S.A. as the security director for Cape Canaveral. It was in this capacity that Carol first met Captain Marvel, the Kree warrior, Mar-Vell. In her official capacity, Carol was challenged with unraveling the mystery of this alien soldier. During her investigation, the two forged a unique bond, first as friends and then as lovers. It was this relationship that would change Carol forever.

Captain Marvel's mortal enemy, Colonel Yon-Rogg kidnapped Carol, using her as bait in his conflict with Mar-vell. In the course of the battle, Carol and Mar-vell were caught in the explosion of a Kree Psyche-Magneton device. The energy bombardment somehow caused Carol’s genetic structure to be melded with Mar-vell's. While Mar-vell was apparently unaltered by the event, Carol was now a perfect hybrid of Kree and human genes. In addition, she possessed all of Mar-vell's Kree knowledge and training. Through this transformation, Ms. Marvel was born. And, because of her failure to capture Captain Marvel, Carol lost her job at N.A.S.A. She recovered quickly, writing a successful novel about her experience in the space industry. This lead to her landing a position as the editor of WOMAN magazine, a subsidiary of the Daily Bugle. Carol’s viewpoints as a staunch feminist created tensions with her boss J. Jonah Jameson, but made her the perfect choice to be WOMAN magazine’s editor.

Just as Carol was beginning this new chapter of her life in San Francisco, the powers and persona of Ms. Marvel began to emerge. At first, Carol experienced blackouts triggered by Ms. Marvel’s precognitive seventh sense and the two personas were very distinct, both mentally and physically. As time went on and Carol came to accept her new role as Ms. Marvel, the two personalities merged. A second exposure to the energies of a Kree Psyche-Magnetron also imbued Ms. Marvel with some of the properties which formally resided in her Kree uniform.

Carol’s return to Earth was sensed by the precognitive Destiny. Destiny had previously prophesied that Ms. Marvel would be involved in an event that would destroy the life of Raven Darkholme's foster daughter, Anna-Marie. Raven had vowed to destroy Ms. Marvel before this could happen and developed an obsessive hatred for her and sends Ms. Marvel into a trap by sending in a false alarm that her daughter was in danger by her own Aunt Carrie. When Rogue tried to use her power-absorbing abilities on Carol, something went terribly wrong, and she absorbed too much of Carol’s persona, making the transfer permanent. Driven mad by Carol’s thoughts and memories, Rogue threw Carol’s body from the bridge. At the hospital, Carol was identified and diagnosed as a tabula rasa - a blank slate. Jessica Drew, who was also known as Spider-Woman had called in Professor Xavier of the X-Men, who was able to pull forth Carol’s memories and personality from her subconscious; however, was unable to restore her emotional connection to those memories and experiences. And while she recovered from her ordeal, Carol and Jessica spent some time at the X-Mansion.

During this time, a now-powerless Carol confronted the Avengers and vented her anger for their betrayal of her. Carol remained with the X-Men for a brief time, during which she often accompanied them on missions. One such mission led to Carol’s capture by the alien Brood. Fascinated by her Kree/Human physiology, they performed experiments on Carol’s genetic structure. This unleashed the full potential of Carol’s Kree/Human physiology transforming her into the cosmic-powered Binary and possessed more power than ever due to her link to a white hole.

When she returned with the X-Men and was strongly considering joining them on a permanent basis, a desperately troubled Rogue came to Xavier for help. Upon seeing Rogue, Carol had flown into a rage and punched her; reluctantly the X-Men informed Carol that Xavier had allowed Rogue to join the X-Men. Unable to accept the fact, Carol opted to join the space pirates known as the Starjammers and to leave her troubles on Earth behind.

As Binary, Carol was a valued member of the Starjammers and fought alongside them to restore Lilandra to the Shi'ar throne. In space, Carol was able to escape her loss and rebuild her life where she spent her time for a number of years, and lived out her lifelong dream of exploring the stars. However, when Earth's sun was threatened, Carol chose to abandon her mission for the Shi'ar Majestrix Lilandra Neramani and aid the Avenger Quasar in saving it causing her effort to her in a depleted state, and she spent months recuperating at the Avengers Mansion where during this time, she reconciled with the Avengers.

After she took on a new alias, calling herself Warbird, Carol rejoined the Avengers, following a reality-warping conflict with Morgan Le Fay that brought with her a whole new set of problems. First, her powers were slowly depleting, and she attempted to hide this fact from the Avengers, leading to a conflict with Captain America. Carol had also developed a drinking problem, which was immediately noticed by recovering alcoholic and fellow Avenger, Iron Man. Her drinking, coupled with her determination to prove herself a worthy addition to the Avengers and her secretiveness about her power loss, led to reckless grand-standing and sloppy teamwork. This eventually endangered the lives of her teammates and led to a formal court-martial before her fellow Avengers. Rather than face her problems and a forced demotion to reserve status, Carol quit the team.

Disheartened, Carol realized that she’d hit rock bottom, and moved to Seattle to work on rebuilding her career as a freelance writer and novelist. She started to make some progress in accepting her alcoholism but refused to accept that she had a serious problem for months. After her drinking almost led to disaster in a number of combat situations, Carol was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning. Carol’s doctor warned that she had done considerable damage to her internal organs and that another drink might kill her; this diagnosis combined with the knowledge that she had nearly killed a plane full of people during a drunken rage have forced Carol to admit the severity of her drinking problem. She has since been accepted into the ranks of the Avengers once more and taken the name “Ms. Marvel” once again.

When the Scarlet Witch warped reality, Carol was one of the few people who remembered the events when reality was restored, and she determined to prove her worth as a true hero, something she had experienced during the events. She told this to Captain America when he offered her membership in the new Avengers team, but she declined, feeling unready to join that august assemblage. Cap assured her that a place would always be available to her in the Avengers.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

[ Heterosexual ] Carol is mostly a no-nonsense woman that does not like to take any crap from anyone. She likes to work hard, get things done and get them done properly. She's not likely to get distracted from her task, and she gets real annoyed when anyone tries to do so. She will usually always go after what she wants, and it's unlikely that anything can stop her. Carol is also known to reveal what a short fuse she has (especially when betrayed). Manipulative in the ways of espionage, she will say/do just about anything to have things go her way or in the way that would benefit those that need the assistance. She can also be carefree and enjoyable when in a relaxed state of mind.

Carol is also steadfast in her principle concerning the doctrine advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men. In other words, she is all about the Girl Power.

A B I L I T I E S

As Ms. Marvel, she possesses a wide array of superhuman powers. Initially, they include superhuman strength , endurance, formidable resistance to physical injury, the ability to fly, and a precognitive sense. In addition to her abilities, Ms. Marvel can absorb and manipulate any kind of energy. She can focus this energy into her others abilities like her photonic powers, explosive blasts of radiant energy, which she fires from her fingertips. By focusing her powers outward in all directions, she can surround herself with an energy aura which deflects most attacks. She also has some gravitational powers which allow her to boost her already tremendous strength by absorbing the gravitational forces around her. She also demonstrates the ability to absorb other forms of energy, such as electricity, to further magnify her strength and energy projection. When augmented by enough energy, she can withstand 92 tons of pressure and strike with a similar level of force. Although, absorbing too much at once or being taken by surprise by an energy-based assault can overwhelm her and cause her physical pain.
