Another title that Jim became well known for was the female version of Marvel’s Captain Marvel, Ms. Marvel.
Working with inker Joe Sinnott, Jim found himself working in familiar territory – a female version of an already established super-hero.

“The only editor I had much contact with at Marvel was Chris Claremont,” said Jim, “who wrote my Ms. Marvel.
He used to call me up just about every couple of weeks to give me these plots that might run on for an hour, an hour and a half.
And they were good, he wrote a good story but it always amazed me that Marvel had no qualms about running up a phone bill like that.
And I would record our conversations, of course; but the drawback was that I couldn't necessarily ask questions once we were done talking.
So, I probably would have preferred a written script or plot, but we worked it out. She (Ms. Marvel) survived for awhile.
It was quite a bit different to Supergirl though, more action and far looser. It was a pleasant enough strip.”

The Last Sunset...?
Ms. Marvel tries to blow the whistle on AIM

Wow, me likey this thread!

It's great for me to celebrate the comicbook characters Captain Mar-Vell, Ms. Marvel, Captain Marvel, Binary and Warbird.

I love those old stories, especially Carol's first book.

I do too.

I prefer Carol as Ms Marvel

I liked said character with that code-name until Ms. Marvel #19.

Ms. Marvel #19 art by Carmine Infantino

"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 lazely came up with Mar-Vell Captain Marvel.
Roy The Boy followed suit with Carol Danvers Ms. Marvel.

Detective Comics;
Kal-El Superman
Kara Danvers Supergirl

Marvel Comics;
Mar-Vell Captain Marvel
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)

or as Binary.

I always like the Binary name AND look for the comicbook character Carol Danvers to be her 'own woman'.

Binary vs. Zenith

Binary vs. Gladiator

Glad Captain Universe Invisible Woman and Thordis got to battle Gladiator as well.

Avengers #282 Aug 1987
"Captives" Part 2 of 5.
The Lord of Olympus has banished the Avengers to Hades! However in the Atlantic Ocean (and under orders from Zeus),
Neptune grabs the Sub-Mariner and throws him in Hades too! But that could actually be a stroke of good fortune for Earth's Mightiest Heroes!
If Prince Namor can navigate the River Styx, slip past watchful Cerberus, and bust into Fortress Tartarus; the Avengers might just have an opportunity to escape!

The situation looks bleak inside the castle dungeon especially with the thunder god suffering from crippling injuries.

And now Sub-Mariner, Black Knight, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Doctor Druid, She-Hulk, and Thor are to face Pluto and the hordes of Hades!

Avengers #350 Aug 1992
"Repercussions"
Did the Avengers think their killing of the Supreme Intelligence (three issues ago) would go unnoticed by the cosmos?
If Earth's Mightiest Heroes did, they are in for a rude awakening! Light years from terra firma,
a surviving Kree admiral makes a deal with Hepzibah and Raza Longknife to assassinate the Black Knight!

To that end the two starjammers convince their teammates to journey to Earth under the false pretense of visiting Binary in Avengers Mansion.

While the Starjammers and Avengers get acquainted,

Raza slips away to slay Dane Whitman!

Avengers #351 Aug 1992
"Retribution!"
In shocking fashion last issue, Raza stabbed the Black Knight during their duel in the hangar bay! And upon discovering their fallen teammate,
Earth's Mightiest Heroes lash out at the Starjammers! Hercules and Thor drive Raza and Ch'od out of the mansion and temporarily defuse the situation!
But the Avengers still want vengeance! So the Black Widow sends the Vision, Hercules, Thor, Sersi

and Binary to chase the renegade Starjammers, while Crystal oversees Dane's emergency medical treatment!
When the Avengers catch up to the runaway space pirates, the battle is short and sweet!


In the end, Binary provides the solution to the mess Raza caused.
