Ms. Marvel #19 Aug 1978
"Mirror, Mirror!"
Ronan the Accuser arrives in Texas to eliminate a number of Kree that have fled to Earth to find new lives.
He then travels to New York where he locates and attacks Carol Danvers.
Changing into Ms. Marvel, she proves to be no match for the Kree soldier.
When Captain Mar-Vell arrives he is shocked to find that Carol is wearing a uniform similar to his,
giving Ronan the opportunity to knock both of them out and take them aboard his ship.
There, under the supervision of the Supreme Intelligence, Ronan probes Carol's mind to learn of her past,
and the events that led to her becoming Ms. Marvel. After the probe is done,
both she and Mar-Vell break free and take down Ronan, then make their escape from the ship.
Afterwards, the two reconcile and agree to be friends before parting company.
Chris Claremont script. Carmine Infantino & Bob McLeod art.
"Carol to Mar-Vell:
All my life I've fought to be my own woman.
The last thing I wanted was to become a female copy of anyone.. especially you."
With this issue, Chris Claremont made it very clear that, when publisher Martin Goodman ordered Stan The Man to create MC's own Captain Marvel,
Stan REALLY NOT wanting to do it, Stan lazily came up with Mar-Vell Captain Marvel.
Roy The Boy followed suit with Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel.

How much more on-the-nose can you get!
In establishing that the comicbook character Carol Danvers wanted to be her 'own woman' it made perfect sense to bestow on said
character her own unique superhero name AND superhero look as in BINARY and WARBIRD (Carol's love for aircrafts)
Avengers #174 Aug 1978
The Korvac Saga: Part 7 of 10 - "Captives of the Collector!"
With his vast collection of alien weapons to draw upon, the Collector downs first Iron Man, then Thor, and then the Wasp.
Hawkeye courageously fights on alone, but when his devices fail, the Collector unleashes his own long-unused cosmic power against the archer.
When Hawkeye nevertheless manages to strike his opponent with an electro-arrow, however, the aged immortal admits defeat.
The Avengers are freed, and the Collector relates how he began his acquisition of specimens eons ago, in order to preserve them against the coming threat of Thanos,
then foresaw an even greater menace, whom he sent his daughter to spy upon.
At that very moment, Carina, the Collector's daughter, having fallen in love with Michael, betrays her father.
Suddenly, a bolt of power strikes in the Avengers' midst, and the Collector is disintegrated.
Cameo appearances by Michael (aka Korvac), the Black Panther, Black Widow, Captain Mar-Vell, Hercules, Jocasta, Moondragon, Quicksilver, and the Two-Gun Kid.

Ugh. Looks like Marvel is retconning 616 Carol to be half Kree from birth, further distancing her from Mar-Vell and rewriting her comic origin. Disappointing.
Good Marvel characters- Bring Them Back!!!
Yes, I think this is quite likely. The funny thing is that I think the half-Kree thing is because of the movie being said to have Carol as a Kree-human hybrid, but judging from the trailer I'm not sure that's true at all. I think this is like when Marvel gave Star Lord his element gun back because they thought the film would feature it, only to find it wasn't in the movie at all.
What does really upset me is that I think the film isn't going to have Mar-Vell in it at all, but is going to plunder from his character mythology. It looks like Carol will be picking up his renegade Kree soldier status, and despite people suggesting the amnesia/false memories mystery is a reference to Rogue stealing Carol's memories, I actually think it comes from the last Mar-Vell miniseries where he slowly discovers he is not who he thinks he is.
