I hate the new name: I preferred Photon.
Does anybody know if Monica is in the new Marvel Now Trading Cards?
I loved her supercharging She-Hulk with gamma radiation in Mighty Avengers. I'm starting to really dig her. (never read anything with her in before MA)

One of the best Avengers runs of all time imo. Monica don't play dat!
wow, she pushes around Herc and Namor with ease there. you go, girl!
she needs to be in more merchandise- video games, cartoons, live action, posters/wall art, t-shirts, coffee mugs/drink cups, etc.
Time to resurrect this thread.

I'm looking forward to seeing her in Mighty Avengers this month. I do hope she gets an arc focused on her this time around and hopefully some more appearances in other titles.
So with all the movie announcements do you guys think they'll introduce Monica in one of the new movies? Being introduced in the Captain Marvel movie seems like a possibility. If that happens part of me thinks that she might just play the best friend role and not get powers till a sequel. Kinda like Rhodey who didn't get to suit up till Iron Man 2. If she ever does get introduced in the movie universe hopefully we don't have to wait long to see her powered up.
I want her to keep her name, whatever it is. There isn't another Spectrum is there?
I like the name Spectrum though... fits her power... electromagnetic spectrum... she fires at different wavelengths.

Marvel has used "Dr Spectrum" for a few different characters. None are related to Monica.
Also, I want a Monica cartoon.

The reason I ask is... it seems to be a running joke that she has name conflicts with other heroes.

The joke is that other heroes keep stealing her codenames without her knowing. Another joke is her constant boasting about how she used to lead the Avengers.

Oh man how cool would it have been to see Monica in Earth's Mightiest Heroes? One of the character designers for that show did a What if? drawing of that.

Oh yeah someone mentioned merchandise. As far as I know Monica only has a couple of Heroclix figures, a minimate figure and a figurine from the Eaglemoss classic Marvel figurine line.

Marvel should rebrand her as monica marvel and give her a joint ongoing title with Carol
I miss her locked look but still very happy to have her back in the Avengers ranks. She's second to only Storm as far as prominent black women that are super heroes and I hope that means she will gets some kind of role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Love me some Monica. If she ever makes to the MCU she MUST be played by Shanola Hampton.

Yes! I forgot to mention that but I'd love to see her be Monica too. She's even expressed interest in playing Monica.

What ever happened to the rivalry Monica had with Moonstone in the late 1980's?
Wow I didn't know there was a thread for Ms. Rambeau!? I love her and hope she receives more exposure in further years to come. I also hope that her and Carol Danvers team up more.

I think they already made up before that whole Dark Avengers shenanigans.

Oh yeah Monica had a nice fight with Moonstone during the Under Seige storyline. They had a rematch in the Captain Marvel one shot but I'd be down to see them fight again.

I wish this thread was more popular. Monica is a fantastic and super powerful character that often gets overshadowed.
If they changed her code name to monica marvel and pushed her character more I think she be popular enough to get a solo. Plus they can start their own marvel family with her, carol, kamala blue marvel, and maybe done new characters.
Throwback to the time Carol Danvers first met Monica. You can find bigger versions of the scans here: [url]http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2014/07/03/drawing-crazy-patterns-the-things-floating-superhero-poker-game/[/url]

I've enjoyed Monica ever since Mighty Avengers launched. While I've always been aware of the character, her appearances in Black Panther during Huldin's run made me a fan.
You can put me down as a Monica Rambeau fan.
I wasn't one when she first appeared using the Captain Marvel moniker, but grew to like her
over her tenure as an Avenger.
I love her new look and the name [B]Spectrum[/B].

I love her in Mighty too. Loved when she turned into Gamma radiation to power boost She-Hulk
I've really enjoyed her in Mighty Avengers. I'd love a Spectrum solo, a lot of untapped potential there.
How strong is monica because I feel like she is severely underrated and underutilized when it comes to power
[QUOTE=Captain Wessex;687336]I love her in Mighty too. Loved when she turned into Gamma radiation to power boost She-Hulk[/QUOTE]
Loved that part as well. Ewing is doing a great job with her imo.

I'd certainly give a Spectrum book a chance if it ever happens, as I agree about the potential.

If monica got a solo I'd buy 5 of every issue and two of every variant

Thank you for posting. I always loved the dynamics between Monica and Carol. They need to teamup more often since writers usually forget what close friends they are.
Just got down reading Amazing Spiderman Annual #16 (Roger Stern does no wrong!) and her late 80's Captain Marvel solo series. I can't get over what a great and fresh character Monica is. She is way too underrated barely having much of a presence in the MU.
Does anyone know of any other must-read issues with Monica? Is that Marvel Divas Sex in the City mini-series worth reading?
