Sounds like the origin is still pretty vague then, and could go either way.
Good enough for me then. And it wouldn't be the end of the world if MCU Phylla isn't a Vell, though I'd definitely prefer that. Still, it's not her last name that makes her interesting, it's just icing on the cake.
Man, I'd love to see this movie in theaters but I really doubt I'll find the time. Gonna have to wait for D+ I fear.
Ah well.

Comics-Nikki as a character should seriously get some cred. She's got super-human reflexes and agility, making her as hard to hit as Spider-Man when she's going all-out, *and* she's highly resistant to / absorbs some wavelengths of energy, making her almost impervious to the number one weapon of choice in the space/cosmic setting, energy blasters! Badoon can shoot at her all day, and on the off-chance one of them catches her by surprise and actually *hits* her, she shrugs it off! And, with super-agility and reflexes, her own return fire practically never misses! She's a death-machine in a space setting. (Although foes who generally don't use energy weapons, like the Brood, will not play to her strengths, but she's still got Spider-Man-like agility and reflexes, plus, yanno, blasters of her own...)
The flaming hair might be tougher in live-action (Ghost Rider effects 24/7 might be a bit much, with an actual actresses head juxtaposed with the shot), but replacing it with glowing fiber-optic-strand-like hair would be fine, I suppose.
Any chance they are confusing the SERPENT Squad/Society with SONS of the SERPENT
? Might be an easier adaptation into the Captain Falcon mythos?
The green matches…
(update, although I just saw that Sam faced off against the SQUAD during his solo run as well)

With the rumors of Mila Kunis non-Sue F4 casting, I wondered if they might make the Original 4 Thing member either Sharon Ventura or Darla Deering...

In the first post-credit scene, you can see her fists briefly starting to glow, so I'm assuming she's gonna have the classic energy manipulation type of powers. I personally thought it was quite similar to Captain Marvel's MCU powers, which makes sense if they're keeping her origins comics accurate to some extent.
Although something not a lot of people are bringing up is that Gunn teased that Quasar was going to be in this movie years ago while it was still in development, so it's possible they are giving her Quasar-like powers (which is not very different from MCU Ms. Marvel's powers, actually).
