My Captain Mar-Vell, Ms. Marvel, Captain Marvel, Binary and Warbird CELEBRATION!

[KurtW95]

Really wish we’d get a return of Mar-Vell and Carol getting the Ms. Marvel name back. Though I don’t know how that will happen with Kamala Khan hogging the Ms. Marvel and modern higher-up people demanding Carol Danvers be Captain Marvel. Only solution it seems would to be to give Kamala Khan a different name. Even saw it suggested before that she be aged up somehow and become the new Captain Marvel while Carol goes back to Ms. That I wouldn’t mind as much as there are many Captain Marvel characters. Bottom line I really wish Carol got her name and costume back and Mar-Vell and Billy Batson were once again recognized as the premiere owners of the title Captain Marvel.

I've heard from the opinions of some people that they found Carol Danvers to be the most compelling as a character when she had the identity of Ms. Marvel, partly blaming Brian Michael Bendis for Civil War 2 writing and making her into a generic “tough woman” when everything she was before was the opposite. Rather interesting.

They also started defeminizing her artwise and made a conscious attempt to cover her up. It is better now but I still miss the black costume with the mask.

I just read the Jim Starlin penned Death Of Captain Marvel graphic novel again and must say that it still managed to blow me away again after so many years since it was published.

I'd recommend anyone who hasn't read this magnificent story to do so asap.

After inhaling the gas in Captain Marvel #34..

Captain Marvel #34 Sep 1974
First appearance of Nitro in "Blown Away!"
The Lunatic Legion send their agent,

Nitro-The Exploding Man, to steal a top secret government nerve gas called Compound 13.

He is confronted by Captain Mar-Vell

who defeats Nitro by having Rick hit his nega bands together at the moment Nitro explodes.
The gas canister is ruptured in the explosion and Mar-Vell successfully reseals the container, but not before inhaling some
of the toxic gas that will eventually give him the cancer which kills him in The Death of Captain Marvel graphic novel.
Appearances by Carol Danvers and Rick Jones.
Cameos by Moon Dragon, Drax the Destroyer and Iron Man.

Script by Steve Englehart. Plot & pencils by Jim Starlin (final full issue). Inks by Jack Abel.

And after meeting Captain Marvel, Binary too said her farewell to Captain Mar-Vell.

Marvel Fanfare #24 Jan 1986
"Elegy"
After being introduced to Captain Marvel, Binary finds out that Captain Mar-Vell has died.

Carol bursts out of the mansion and into space. We next see her on Titan, having spoken to Mentor and learned where to find Mar-Vell's grave.

As she pays respects without crying, she recalls her experiences and feelings for him from her days as security chief at Cape Canaveral.

The story implies a stronger relationship between the two than seen in Ms. Marvel #19
but it seems to be more about the fact that she has Kree genetics and that Mar-vell abandoned his people for Earth and made himself an outcast,
and of course he was also "cosmic" so she saw in him some similarities that might have helped her cope with what she's become.

Script by Chris Claremont, pencils by David Ross, inks by Bob Wiacek.

Uncanny X-Men #185 Sep 1984
"Public Enemy"
Government agent Henry Gyrich is having a meeting at the Pentagon where he is reporting on the mutant known as Rogue.
After explaining her powers, her previous criminal history and recent attack on SHIELD,
he tells those gathered that he has been authorized to use the neutralizer weapon invented by Forge to stop her.
When Raven Darkholm protests this move, wondering how Gyrich got a prototype when it hasn't even been tested,
she is shocked to hear that her co-worker Valerie Cooper supports this move
and no amount of protests will stop the action from being carried out.

At the X-Mansion, Storm interrupts Professor Xavier's session with Rachel Summers to inform him that Rogue has left.
The Professor leaves Rachel alone while he and Storm go downstairs to try and track Rogue using Cerebro.
Left to her own devices, Rachel decides to look around the Professor's office.
Finding a phone book that lists her father Cyclops living in Alaska, she decides to call and speak to him.
However, when she hears his voice and the voice of Madelyne Pryor in the background,
Rachel cannot bring herself to utter a single word and eventually Cyclops hangs up.

While back in Washington, Mystique returns to her room to find that Destiny is there waiting for her.
Irene warns that Rogue is in trouble, however Mystique wonders if allowing Gyrich
to neutralize her powers could be to the benefit of Rogue having a normal life.
When she asks Irene what the future has in store for Rogue, Destiny cannot see
into the immediate future as some temporal anomaly prevents her from doing so.
As Gyrich approaches where they are tracking Rogue,

Mystique contacts Forge and tells him that the government is using his prototype without testing it.
Forge is furious and flies after them in his private jet, while placing in a call to the president.

While in Caldecott Country, Mississippi, Rogue is spending time relaxing along the banks of the Mississippi River.
She is found by Storm who confronts her with the truth about the phantom memories she's been living of Carol Danvers.

When Rogue admits that she is struggling to find a way to control her powers and fears harming them,
Storm convinces her to willingly absorb some of her power.
Rogue is reluctant at first, but since Storm is willingly offering up her powers, Rogue tries it out.

The power absorption knocks Storm out, and Rogue is completely amazed by the abilities she has gained and how Storm sees the world.

After finding that mastering Storm's powers would take some work, Rogue is attacked by Gyrich and his men.
As Rogue attempts to avoid getting blasted by the neutralizer,
her weather controlling ability spirals out of control and a massive storm is created, threatening a nearby boat.
Storm, having revived, comes to Rogue’s aid to control the weather and pull the boat to calmer waters.
Gyrich takes this as an opportunity to get a clear shot on Rogue, however Storm shoves her out of the way.
Storm is struck by the weapon, causing her powers to flare out of control,
destroying the ship and knocking Rogue far away, before being neutralized.
Storm falls unconsciously to the water below where Forge, having arrived just in time to witness the event, dives in to her rescue.
He is furious at Gyrich for using his untested prototype and the fact that he hit an innocent woman.
He points out that Storm is a member of the X-Men and Gyrich's stupidity today
may have turned the X-Men from champions of humanity to their enemies.

Watching this from a mystical pool far away are the Dire Wraiths who have analyzed Forge's weapon
and find that it is similar to that which was used by ROM the Spaceknight.
In order to guarantee their victory in taking over the Earth, the Wraiths have come to the decision that Forge must die.
