"I'm coming to end it. The war, the lies, all of it."
―Captain Marvel to Yon-Rogg[src]

Carol Danvers, also known as Captain Marvel, is a former United States Air Force pilot who, upon being exposed to the energy of the Tesseract via the destruction of the Light-Speed Engine, obtained cosmic powers. She was made into a Kree-human hybrid via the blood transfusion from Yon-Rogg, while having all of her old memories removed, turning her into the Kree's weapon and a member of Starforce. During their Kree-Skrull War, Danvers returned to Earth and began recalling her past, with help from Nick Fury and Maria Rambeau. Danvers had then also discovered that Yon-Rogg and the Kree Empire had been manipulating her for years, learning from Talos that the Skrulls were merely seeking to find a new home. With this information, Danvers unlocked her true powers and defeated the Kree invasion onto Earth that was being led by Ronan the Accuser, before setting off out to the far reaches of the galaxy to finish what her late mentor Mar-Vell had previously started.

Spending twenty-three years journeying through the universe, Captain Marvel learned of the Snap through the distress call sent out by Fury and had joined the Avengers in an attempt to confront Thanos and reverse the damage done, managing to also rescue Tony Stark and Nebula from deep space along the way. However, despite their first attempt at finding the Infinity Stones failing, Captain Marvel returned to Earth in 2023 when the Avengers had just succeeded with their second attempt to reverse the Snap and assisted them during their fight against Thanos and his army of Chitauri and Outriders. Eventually, the combined efforts of Captain Marvel and all the heroes of Earth triumphed over all Thanos' forces, though Iron Man sacrificed his life. Danvers attended his funeral before going off-world.

Biography

Early Life

Difficult Childhood

"You didn't get along with your parents."
Monica Rambeau to Carol Danvers[src]
Joseph & Carol Danvers

Danvers, as a child, with her father

Carol Danvers was born in the mid-1960s as the second child to Joseph Danvers and her mother. Throughout her childhood, she never got along with her parents due to how they treated her based on her gender. However, Danvers maintained a good relationship with her older brother, Steve Danvers, who would lay with her outside at night and look at the stars. As she grew up, Danvers always desired to be a pilot, idolising people like Amelia Earhart. Danvers also developed a determined, rebellious streak that would stick with her for all of her life.

Captain Marvel (film) 166

Danvers playing baseball as a young child

Despite how her parents felt, Danvers still decided to participate in numerous physical sports and activities, including becoming a baseball player on the team called the "Sparrows", where she would face more challenges. Even though she would sometimes get knocked down by these challenges, Danvers always remained determined to get back up and keep going, while others would believe she should stop, which would go against who she is.[1]

Air Force Career

Joining the Air Force

Captain Marvel (film) 21

Danvers attempting a training course

"They'll never let you fly."
Cook to Carol Danvers[src]

Shortly after turning eighteen, Danvers enlisted in the United States Air Force to pursue her dream of becoming a pilot. There, Danvers had to contend with the USAF's "Boy's Club" culture, continuously being told she wasn't good enough. However, Danvers never let the constant heckling or immense physical challenges stop her, working her way to becoming one of the best pilots.[1]

Friendship with Maria Rambeau

Captain Marvel (film) 19

Danvers and her best friend, Maria Rambeau

"You ready?"
"Higher, further, faster, baby."
Maria Rambeau and Carol Danvers[src]

During this time, Danvers met fellow pilot Maria Rambeau, and the two became best friends and helped each other throughout their training. Danvers would become the godmother to Rambeau's daughter Monica, as well as becoming apart of their family, as she did not have much connection with her own family.

Monica & Carol

Danvers bonds with Monica Rambeau

As Monica grew up, Danvers helped Rambeau raise, as well as inspire her, giving Monica a better childhood than she got, nicknaming her "Lieutenant Trouble". Danvers would lay outside with Monica, just liker how her brother did and look at the stars together. Danvers would also dress up with Monica for Halloween as inspirational female figures, like she did when she was younger.

Maria & Carol

Danvers and Maria Rambeau celebrating

Danvers and Rambeau eventually completed their training and graduated, despite any doubt that was cast onto them, earning the rank of "Captain". That night, they went to celebrate at Pancho's Bar, playing pool and doing karaoke, enjoying their victory, despite one of their fellow graduates trying to put them down, claiming that flying was only for men.[1]

Working with Wendy Lawson

Carol Hangar

Danvers as a test pilot for Wendy Lawson

"Wonderful view, isn't it?"
"I prefer the view from up there."
"You'll get there soon enough, Ace."
Wendy Lawson and Carol Danvers[src]

Unfortunately, because of the times, this statement was true, as Danvers and Maria Rambeau were refused flying in combat, despite being just as good as any other pilot. However, they were offered to become test pilots for Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S., a joint project between the Air Force, S.H.I.E.L.D. and NASA, under the military scientist Doctor Wendy Lawson.

Carol Danvers '89

Danvers meeting with Doctor Wendy Lawson

Danvers and Rambeau, whose callsigns were "Avenger" and "Photon", respectively, would continue to fly together using the chance they were given to show off their piloting abilities that were rejected elsewhere. Lawson mentored Danvers as they worked on Lawson's incredible technological developments, and Danvers was inspired by Lawson's passion for her work and her desire to use her skills to end wars. Danvers also earned the distinction of being one of the few people Lawson's pet Goose genuinely liked.[1]

Assassination of Mar-Vell

Captain Marvel (film) 32

Danvers entering outer space in the Asis

"We have no interest in hurting you."
"No? 'Cause all the shooting kinda gave me the wrong impression!"
Yon-Rogg and Carol Danvers[src]

One morning in 1989, Danvers and Maria Rambeau decided to race to the base, which Danvers won by taking a shortcut. When they arrived, they discovered Wendy Lawson in an agitated state, saying she had lives to save. Noticing she was trying to pilot the Asis aircraft, Danvers volunteered to pilot it instead, concerned for the lives at stake. Once the two were up in the air, Lawson provided Danvers with the coordinates for her laboratory.

Mar-Vell & Carol Danvers

Danvers trying to evade attacks from Starforce

Suddenly, they noticed unidentified aircrafts approach them, much to Lawson's fear, ordering Danvers to get them out of there. Danvers did her best to evade the attacks, as she asked what they wanted, which Lawson revealed was her work. Danvers managed to pull a maneuver that got her behind the enemy aircraft, but before she could open fire, the aircraft started firing backwards.

Carol (1989)

Danvers discovers Wendy Lawson is an alien

These attacks took damage of the Asis, causing it to go down. Danvers tried to eject them from the Asis, but it didn't work, so she attempted to land the aircraft, but they crashed. Danvers got out of the Asis to check on Lawson, where she noticed that her blood was blue. Danvers then helped her out of the Asis, where Lawson told her that she is not Wendy Lawson, but Mar-Vell from Hala. Mar-Vell then warned Danvers to get away so she doesn't also become a causality in the war she had been fighting.

Captain Carol Danvers

Danvers aims a Kree Pistol at Yon-Rogg

Mar-Vell also told Danvers to remember the coordinates so she could finish her mission. Mar-Vell then pulled out an alien pistol and tried to destroy the Light-Speed Engine. Suddenly, Mar-Vell was murdered before she could fire. Danvers then picked up the pistol to defend herself from Yon-Rogg. He asked Danvers where the core was, but she threatened him by informing him that he would be surrounded soon.

Captain Marvel (film) 43

Danvers absorbs the Tesseract's energy

When Yon-Rogg then went to finish Danvers off, she stopped him, and informed him of the core's location, right next to her, which she decided to shoot, destroying it, like Mar-Vell wanted. This then unleashed a massive outburst of Tesseract energy which was absorbed by Danvers, leaving her unconscious.

Captain Marvel (film) 68

Danvers is given a blood transfusion on Hala

Noticing that she was still alive and absorbed the power from the core, Yon-Rogg took Danvers with them back to Hala. Danvers was given a blood transfusion from Yon-Rogg, and had her memories surpassed, along with the power inside her. Danvers would believe she is a Kree and would go by Vers due to the broken dog tag Yon-Rogg found.[1]

Kree-Skrull War

Living on Hala

Carol Kree Room

Vers living on Hala with no memories

"Do you know what time it is?"
"Can't sleep."
"There are tabs for that."
"Yeah, but then I'd be sleeping."
Yon-Rogg and Vers[src]

For the next six years, "Vers" lived on Hala, where she operated as a member of Yon-Rogg's Starforce unit, having no memories of her past, only glimpses in dreams. After having more of these "dreams", Vers decided to avoid sleep and visit Yon-Rogg.

Marvell vs Carol

Vers during combat training with Yon-Rogg

When Vers went to Yon-Rogg's quarters, she asked if they could fight, so they both went to the sparring room and fought each other. After Yon-Rogg knocked Vers down, he asked her about her dreams, telling her that she has to let go of her past, which she had no recollection of, as he claimed it caused her to doubt. Vers was then about to use her powers, but Yon-Rogg stopped her, telling her to control her emotions, which he had always tried to suppress in her, along with her sense of humor. The fight then ended when Vers accidentally hit Yon-Rogg with a photon blast, causing him to arrange a meeting with her and the Supreme Intelligence.

Vers Hala

Vers getting some advice from Yon-Rogg

The pair then took a train to the Supreme Intelligence, where Vers asked Yon-Rogg questions about it. He explained that no one knows its true form, and that they only see who they most admire, which Vers tried to guess who Yon-Rogg sees, but he wouldn't divulge. When the discussion returned to Vers' control on her abilities, Yon-Rogg reminded her not to rely on her emotions but her mind.

CapMarvl03

Vers meeting with the Supreme Intelligence

Vers then met with the Supreme Intelligence, who took the form of Mar-Vell, but Vers did not remember who that was. The Supreme Intelligence discussed whether Vers was ready to serve, telling her that she struggles with her emotions and that it is her past that fuels it, lying to her that she was a victim of the "Skull Expansion". However, Vers told her that she couldn't remember anything from her life, which Supreme Intelligence used to get her to think about the Kree over herself. Vers then assured it that she was ready to serve, and Supreme Intelligence then assigned her to a mission with Yon-Rogg's Starforce.[1]

Ambush on Torfa

Captain Marvel (film) 61

Vers with the rest of Starforce

"Did you find Soh-Larr?"
"It wasn't Soh-Larr. Talos simmed him, even knew his code."
Yon-Rogg and Vers[src]

Vers joined up with the Starforce members and prepared for their mission. They all boarded the Helion and talked about the mission, thinking it may be a Skrull attack, until Yon-Rogg arrived. He informed them that it was a search and rescue mission for Soh-Larr, a Kree spy, on Torfa, which was inhabited by Skrulls.

Vers arrives on Torfa

The ships then made their way through space and arrived at Torfa, where Starforce landed their ship underwater, where they made their approach. They made it to the surface, where Vers tracked Son-Larr's signal to a temple, which Yon-Rogg suspected as an ambush. Vers volunteered to go in alone, but Yon-Rogg decided they carefully move in as a team. They were soon approached by the natives, as Vers proceeded to find Soh-Larr. Vers came across Soh-Larr and they exchanged codes, verifying it was him.

Vers zap

Vers is knocked out by Talos

Suddenly, Vers was notified by Yon-Rogg that it was an ambush by the Skrulls, making her realize that Soh-Larr must also be a Skrull. However, before she could act, Talos, who was disguised as Son-Larr, attacked her with a Skrull Electroshock Baton, momentarily paralyzing her. Unable to move, Vers asked Talos how he knew the code, but he responded vaguely, asking her to tell him her secret. Talos then knocked Vers unconscious, and took her on board the Skrull flagship.[1]

Escape from the Skrulls' Ship

Vers captured by the Skrulls

Vers in the Skrulls' memory-probing machine

"What did you put in my head?"
"Nothing that wasn’t already there."
―Vers and Talos[src]

While unconscious, the Skrulls connected Vers to a memory-probing machine as they skimmed through her life as Carol Danvers, hoping to find information on Mar-Vell, the true identity of the woman Danvers once knew as Dr. Lawson. As they went through her barely-conscious mind, Vers watched an odd composite of her buried memories play out.

Vers making her escape from the Skrulls' Ship

Vers was able to wake up from the machine, to find herself bound upside-down. She pretended to still be unconscious as she listened to the Skrulls. While they were distracted Vers, used her abilities to break herself out of captivity, however, her hands were still bound. After knocking out the Skrulls in the room, she interrogated Talos to find out what they did to her. He stated that they looked in her head, but Vers refused that what she saw were her memories.

Vers interrogates Talos on what he did to her

Talos then revealed that they were looking for Dr. Wendy Lawson, the woman in Vers' memories, but she had no recollection of her. Even though Vers refused to give into her emotions, she outdent help but begin to question whether what she saw was real. Suddenly, more Skrulls arrived, causing her to fight them off, still not being able to use her powers, but she defeated the whole horde.

Captain Marvel (film) 164

Vers fighting off a horde of Skrulls

When she found herself being overwhelmed, Vers overheated the restraints on her hands, destroying them. However, when she blasted the restraints off, it also caused the ship to break, causing everything in the room to be sucked out. Vers held onto the ship and equipped her helmet so she could breath. Very then launched herself out of the destroyed room into a hallway, where she continued to try and escape, collecting her boots along the way.

Vers 1995

Vers commenders a Skrull Space Pod

Arriving at the Skrulls' Space Pods, Vers hijacked one of the pods to escape, but as she was setting it up, Talos shot at the controls, causing her to depart immediately. Very then successfully escaped the Skrull ship, and found herself heading for a crash landing on the nearby planet. As she came in faster, the pod started to tear apart, causing Vers to fall out and be thrown to the planet's surface, crashing through a building.[1]

Returning to Earth

Carol Danvers (Blockbuster)

Vers crash landing back onto the Earth

"Hi. I'm Vers. Kree Starforce. Is this C-53? Do you understand me? Is my universal translator working?"
"Yeah, I understand you."
―Vers and LAPD Officer[src]

When she got up, Vers looked around, confused on where she was, completely unaware it was her home planet. She tried to contact Starforce but was unable to get a response. Vers was able to deduce that the planet she was on was Earth, although known to her as "C-53".

Verstalkingtoguard

Vers approaches an officer for assistance

Now on her own, Vers exited the building and approached a vehicle, getting the attention of an LAPD officer inside it. After introducing herself, Vers asked if she was on C-53, but he did not understand what she was talking about. Moving on, she asked where she could access communications equipment, to which he directed her to a RadioShack and a phone booth.

1995

Vers attempts to make contact with Starforce

After obtaining some electronic devices, Vers used their parts, as well as altering the phone booth to fix her communicator, allowing her to reach Yon-Rogg. After verifying it was her and not a Skrull, Vers asked what had happened, which she was informed of the Skrull ambush. Vers then told them that Talos was disguised as Soh-Larr, and know the secret code, which she suspected they obtained through the machine they had her in.

Captain Marvel Payphone

Vers gives Yon-Rogg an update on her status

Vers informed them that she was on Earth and that the Skrulls mission was finding a woman named Wendy Lawson. Knowing that Lawson was who Vers saw the Supreme Intelligence as, she was determined to learn who she was. However, Vers only reported to Yon-Rogg about stopping the Skrulls finding her first, as she started to conflict with her unbeknownst human emotions and Kree training. Yon-Rogg told her to stay put until they arrived, but she did not want to risk letting the Skrulls gain access to the light-speed tech to invade new galaxies.

Vers (Los Angeles 1995)

Vers meets and is questioned by Nick Fury

Suddenly, the communication line with Yon-Rogg cut out, so Vers decided to continue the mission on her own. However, she was approached by Nick Fury, who began to question her, due to the officer reporting her. Despite trying to leave, Fury stopped her and asked for her identification, so she informed him she was a Kree soldier and that she was hunting Skrulls that had infiltrated Earth. However, due to Fury not having any idea what she was saying, Fury did not believe her, and told her she was under arrest.[1]

Chase of the Skrulls

CMTVSSORB

Vers fires a photon blast at the Skrull Spy

"The woman said that there were more?"
"The word she used was infiltration."
―"Keller" and Nick Fury[src]

Suddenly, Vers noticed a Skrull on the roof of a building in a sniper position, so she moved Nick Fury out of the way as he fired at them. Vers then returned fire at the Skrull, but he retreated. A chase then ensued between the two, as the Skrull tried to get away.

CaptainMarvel-0124785

Vers chasing the Skrull Spy onto a train

As she was running after the Skrull, Vers then spotted a train approaching, which the Skrull got inside. Vers rushed after it, maneuvering her way up to the station, but it began to leave before she could get inside. Fortunately, Vers was able to jump onto the train at the last moment, hanging on to the end of it. She then entered the train through a window and began to search for the Skrull, who was disguised as a human. Inspecting all the passengers onboard, Vers was able to deduce who wasn't the Skrull, including the Watcher Informant.

Captain Marvel (film) 35

Vers discovers the Skrull Spy in disguise

When she entered the next carriage, Vers spotted an old woman, who she had run into earlier, making her realize that she was the Skrull. Despite his attempts to deceive her, Vers punched him in the face, breaking the act. The two then began to fight in the train, where other passengers attempted to stop Vers, believing she was attacking an old woman.

Captain Marvel (film) 09

Vers furiously firing at the Skrull Spy

Although Vers continued to violently fight the Skrull, he was able to get away when Vers was restrained by the passengers. Noticing the Skrull dropping a crystal, Vers picked it up after freeing herself, and continued to pursue the Skrull who jumped up onto the top of the train. When Vers caught up to the Skrull, he kicked her off, but she was able to hang onto the side of the train. When she climbed back on, Vers fired a photon blast at the Skrull, but he evaded it by jumping back down in the train.

Captain Marvel (film) 04

Vers loses sight of the Skrull Spy

Noticing a tunnel up ahead, Vers blasted a whole in the train's roof and jumped down before it hit her. However, she had lost the Skrull, so she waited until the train stopped at the station to find him. Vers then spotted who she thought was the Skrull, but when she went to attack him, she discovered he was not. Vers looked around the station, trying to spot the Skrull, to no avail. Vers then exited the station and tried to continue her mission.

Carol Computer EW

Vers attempts to locate Pancho's Bar

Inserting the crystal into her Starforce Uniform, Vers was able to access the memories the Skrulls explored, but was only able to get a few images before it started to fry her suit. Vers then went to a nearby computer cafe to locate Pancho's Bar, which she saw in the memories. Struggling with using the inferior technology, Vers acquired a map to locate the bar. When a man on a motorcycle drove up, she decided to steal it, along with some clothes, to get to the bar.[1]

Alliance with Nick Fury

Captain Marvel Total Film Still 01

Vers arrives at Pancho's Bar

"You have three names. What do people call you?"
"Fury."
"Just Fury?"
―Vers and Nick Fury[src]

Following the directions she learned from the map, Vers drove across California, and successfully arrived at Pancho's Bar. When she went inside, Vers looked around while memories she had from there returned to her until she noticed a picture on the wall.

Captain Marvel (film) 129

Vers encountering Nick Fury again

When Vers took a closer look at a picture of a jet, she noticed a symbol on that, exactly like the one in her memories. Vers then asked the bartender where the picture was taken and then more importantly where Pegasus facility was. However, Nick Fury greeted her once again, telling her that information was classified, like the file he started on her. The two then talked about the recent events and encounters with the Skrulls.

Carol & Fury

Vers determining whether Nick Fury is a Skrull

Vers then brought up whether Fury was a Skrull, which he told her he wasn't, but she required more proof, revealing that Skrulls can match DNA and only recent memories. They both then sat down as Vers questioned Fury on his history. Vers was able to verify that Fury was not a Skrull, but then decided to get him to reveal an embarrassing detail about himself for her amusement.

CptMrvlw-Fury3

Vers decides to work with Nick Fury

Fury then turned the questioning onto Vers, asking her to prove she's also not a Skrull. So, Vers used her powers to fire a photon blast at the jukebox, which she explained Skrulls could not do. Now with some semblance of trust established between the two, Vers enquired Fury about his clearance level to find out about Pegasus, and the two began working together.

Captain Marvel (film) 13

Vers and Nick Fury driving towards the facility

As they traveled to the Joint NASA USAF Facility, Vers told Fury more about herself and her people, a race of "noble warrior heroes." Upon arriving at the security gate, Vers learned that Fury's full name was Nicholas Joseph Fury, but he insisted on being referred to by his surname only. As she questioned who would call him that, he ultimately confirmed his own mother referred to him as "Fury" per his preference. To help Vers pose as his partner, Fury provided her a cap with the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo and told her to lose the flannel shirt she was wearing around her waist. Upon asking the security guards to see Wendy Lawson, Vers and Fury were placed in the security office to wait. Fury soon realized they were locked in when his thumbprint failed to unlock the door, so he used a piece of tape to pull off the fingerprint of an officer they had met at the facility from his S.H.I.E.L.D. badge.

Captain Marvel (film) 94

Vers begins finding hints about her past life

As they searched for the records room, Vers came across Goose, but could not remember her due to her amnesia. Upon arriving just outside the records room, Vers used her photon blasts to break-in, much to Fury's annoyance. In searching through the records, they discover that Lawson died six years ago along with one of her test pilots, hence why security got so spooked. Fury then showed Vers a file containing what he interpreted as incoherent writing, which she identified as the Kree language and realized that Lawson was Kree. Stranger yet, Vers also found a photo that indicates she herself was the test pilot who died with Lawson.

Captain Marvel (film) 82

Vers and Nick Fury escape the base together

Without telling Vers, Fury left to contact S.H.I.E.L.D. with his pager about this new development. Meanwhile, a confused Vers called Yon-Rogg with her new information. Being careful not to give her too much information, Yon-Rogg explained to Vers that Dr. Lawson's true name had been Mar-Vell, a Kree scientist working on a new technology for the Kree-Skrull War. Vers figures that the Skrulls must have come to Earth in search of Mar-Vell's engine, or perhaps the mysterious power source from which she reverse-engineered it. After ending the call, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents arrived to arrest Vers. She met up with a regretful Nick Fury, who realized too late that he had actually just revealed their location to the Skrulls, as Talos had disguised himself as Keller. With help from Phil Coulson, Vers and Fury escaped the ensuing ambush and boarded the Quadjet. After demanding the "untrustworthy" Fury to hand over his pager, Vers piloted the Quadjet to the home of Maria Rambeau, the last person to see Lawson and the test pilot alive. As the pair discovered not long after, Goose had also stowed away.[1]

Reunion with the Rambeau Family

Carol & Maria,jpg

Vers being reunited with Maria Rambeau

"You were my best friend. And you were the most powerful person I knew, way before you could shoot fire from your fists."
Maria Rambeau to Carol Danvers[src]

Vers and Fury reconciled as they flew to the Rambeau Residence in New Orleans, Louisiana. Upon landing, Maria Rambeau was shocked to see her friend, and Monica raced over to hug "Auntie Carol", excitedly declaring that she knew she was still alive. Vers explained to Maria and Monica the situation and showed them her powers. As Monica showed off some of her old personal items, Vers rekindled her bond with Maria and Monica. Slowly, Vers reclaimed more of her memories of her life as Carol Danvers.[1]

Finding Out the Truth

Monica Rambeau redesigns Danvers uniform

"He lied to me. Everything that I knew was a lie."
"Now you understand."
"What? What do I understand now?"
"Yon-Rogg killed Mar-Vell. He killed her."
―Vers and Talos[src]

As Monica went to get her old Air Force jacket, Vers found out that Talos had successfully tracked them. Vers raised her fist to incapacitate Talos but he begged her to hear him out as he reveals that he has information about her past that she would like to know. Also, Vers was told that Talos had brought with him a black box recording of the day of Mar-Vell's death and Danvers' disappearance.

Wanting to know what happened from the crash six years ago, Vers reluctantly decided to give Talos a chance. As she listened, Vers recovered her full memory and found herself in shock as she realized that the Kree had lied to her about everything as she had been tricked into being complicit in a genocide campaign. However, Vers still believed that the Skrulls were terrorists but Talos told her they were not as they were living as refugees as the Kree destroyed their home world due to not submitting to their rule.

Also, Vers was told by Talos that Mar-Vell was trying to get his people as far away from the Kree as possible by making the Light-Speed Engine. Being asked for her help in finishing what Mar-Vell started by finding her laboratory and the power source, Vers believed that the Skrulls would use the power source to destroy them. Vers was told by Talos that all him and his people want is a home then told her that they both lost everything in the hands of the Kree as he tried to help her see that she was never one of them.

However, Vers felt lost and confused due to not knowing who she is but Rambeau reminded her that she is Carol Danvers as she told her that the friend she knew always found a way to do what was right then comforted her. No longer lost about her identity and knowing who she really is, Danvers decided to honor her mentor's memory by helping the Skrulls find Mar-Vell's Laboratory. Symbolically leaving her Kree identity behind, Danvers asked Monica to help her redesign her Starforce Uniform in the red, blue, and gold of the USAF.[1]

Journey to Mar-Vell's Laboratory

"Is that it? The core?"
"In her notes, she called it the Tesseract."
Maria Rambeau and Carol Danvers[src]

The next day, Danvers, Talos, Fury, Rambeau, and Goose take the Quadjet travel into orbit while Norex remained behind disguised as Danvers to distract Yon-Rogg, although it costed Norex's life. Upon arriving at Mar-Vell's coordinates, they find what appeared to be empty space, but Danvers used her suit to de-cloak Mar-Vell's Laboratory. After boarding the ship, they find more Skrulls, including Talos' wife and daughter, who had been living on the ship for the past six years, as well as the Tesseract, the energy source which Mar-Vell had replicated to create her Light-Speed Engine. However, they were ambushed and captured by Yon-Rogg and Starforce. Danvers attempted to fight them but Yon-Rogg activated the Photon Inhibitor, rendering her helpless.[1]

Confronting Supreme Intelligence

CapMarvl18

Captain Marvel battling Supreme Intelligence

"You did good, Ace. Thanks to you, those insidious shapeshifters will threaten our borders no more."
"I used to believe your lies, but the Skrulls are just fighting for a home. You're talking about destroying them because they won't submit to your rule. And neither will I."
Supreme Intelligence and Captain Marvel[src]

Danvers was subsequently connected to the Supreme Intelligence, where she confronted it about the lies she was told for the last six years and how the Skrulls just want to escape its oppression. The AI autocrat continued to gaslight her, telling her that she was weak and overly emotional, but Danvers stood firm on the truth and finally reclaimed her full memories. This prompted her to destroy the virtual Photon Inhibitor; from now on, Danvers would trust herself as the final authority on her own power.

Through sheer willpower, Danvers broke out of the Supreme Intelligence's grip and awoke in the real world, where she destroyed the physical inhibitor as well. With the chip gone, Danvers finally had access to her full array of powers, allowing her to quickly overpower her captors and steal back the Tesseract. Catching up with Fury and Rambeau, she ordered them to take the Tesseract. When Fury refused to touch it, Goose, having been earlier identified by Talos as Flerken, swallowed it whole. Danvers then told her allies to escape while she distracted the Kree.[1]

"I used to find you amusing. Let's put an end to this!"
―Captain Marvel and Yon-Rogg[src]

While her friends were making their escape, Danvers ran into Starforce and fought them, quipping to Yon-Rogg during the skirmish. Danvers kept them busy for as long as possible by pretending that the Tesseract was inside the lunchbox she was carrying. However, it eventually spilled open, and the decoy was revealed to her enemies. As Yon-Rogg and Minn-Erva took Kree Space Pods in pursuit of the Quadjet, Danvers latched onto the former pod, barely putting her helmet on as Yon-Rogg dived nose first into the atmosphere, only to lose her grip and was left in freefall. Thankfully, she was able to discover her ability to fly before she hit the ground. As Rambeau shot down Minn-Erva, Danvers knocked Yon-Rogg's pod out of the sky, causing him to crash.[1]

"I have nothing to prove to you."
Yon-Rogg and Captain Marvel[src]

When the Accusers led by Ronan arrived, Danvers sprung to action and flew into the air to stop an incoming barrage of ballistic missiles. Danvers then launched herself at one and halted it in midair before throwing it back into the barrage, causing them to harmlessly detonate in midair. Danvers then flew into space to dispatch the Accusers' fleet, utilizing her newly empowered photon blasts to destroy his ships with one strike. Seeing this impressive feat of power, Ronan fled, but not before remarking that he would be back for Danvers, referring to her as a "weapon."

With Earth now safe, Danvers returned to the surface to face Yon-Rogg. Her former mentor attempted to challenge her to a hand-to-hand duel, but she responded by blasting him into a rock face. Strolling up to him, Danvers declared she had nothing to prove to him before dragging him back to his pod, instructing him to tell the Supreme Intelligence of her intent to put an end to the Kree-Skrull War.[1]

―Captain Marvel to Talos[src]

Returning to the Rambeau Residence to celebrate their victory over the Kree, Danvers enjoyed her time with her friends. Danvers then returned his pager, having modified it so that he can contact her in case of an emergency. Wanting to finish what Mar-Vell started, Danvers left Earth in order to help the Skrulls find a new home so the Kree would not find them but not before saying goodbye to her friends.[1]

Finally bringing the Kree-Skrull War to an end, Carol Danvers left the Earth for space along with the Skrulls in search for a new home for them.[1] As soon as the Skrulls were out of danger, Danvers proceeded to deal with the various conflicts on multiple planets.[2] Meanwhile on Earth, the experiences with Danvers had led Nick Fury to realize that the world's arsenal would not be enough to defend mankind from intergalactic threats like the Kree, leading him to draft the Avengers Initiative, named after Danvers' old Air Force callsign,[1] which eventually led to the formation of the Avengers team.[3]

"Where's Fury?"
―Captain Marvel to the Avengers[src]

23 years after the Battle at Mar-Vell's Laboratory, Danvers suddenly received an emergency call from Nick Fury's Transmitter Pager. Responding to the signal, Danvers returned to Earth, whose population had been cut in half along with the rest of the universe, due to the Snap event. She tracked the pager's location to the New Avengers Facility, where Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Bruce Banner, and James Rhodes were analyzing the device and receiving updates on the level of casualties caused by the Snap. Entering the facility, Danvers encountered the Avengers and confronted them about Fury's whereabouts.[4]

Shortly after meeting the Avengers, Danvers embarked into space to search for the team's missing members. Twenty-two days after the Snap, she found Iron Man and Nebula stranded in the Benatar after their own encounter with Thanos on Titan. She then carried the dying ship and its passengers across the galaxy to the Avengers Compound on Earth.

Captain Marvel brings the Benatar to Earth

As Danvers returned to the facility, she landed the Benatar right in front of the facility as Stark reunited with the rest of the Avengers while Nebula reunited with Rocket Raccoon, the only other surviving member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. They all then regrouped inside, where Danvers was informed by Romanoff of the Snap and the effects that have occurred since.

Danvers Sad

As the slide of pictures that were shown off from their system, Danvers watched sadly as a screen projection showed Nick Fury among the ones killed by the Snap. She then witnessed Stark ranting at Steve Rogers about their failure to stop Thanos and how the events of the Ultron Offensive and the Avengers Civil War had left them unable to stop him from wiping out half of all life in the universe.

She then witnessed Stark collapsing due to his long duration in space. She then witnessed Stark resting after Bruce Banner gave him a sedative to put him out for a while, giving him time to heal. James Rhodes then informed them that Stark will be out for the rest of the day. Still furious about Thanos' actions, Danvers planned to fly away again the next morning to track down the Titan and kill him herself.

However, Romanoff stopped her, informing her that they work as a team. Rhodes then asked Danvers if she knew where Thanos was, to which she told him she knows people who might. However, Nebula informed them not to bother, as she knew where Thanos was located. She and Rocket Raccoon detected a power surge from the Garden, Thanos' retirement planet, indicating that the Titan had used the Infinity Stones again.

Danvers told them that they can get the Infinity Stones and use them to bring everyone back. When Banner expressed his concern on how this was going to end any differently like it did during the Battle of Wakanda, Danvers informed him that they didn't have her then and would be successful since they had her this time. An annoyed Rhodes then retorted back at her, asking her about her absence from Earth all this time. Danvers responded that she had a responsibility to a multitude of other planets that did not have the Avengers protection. They all then agreed upon the mission.

Danvers being admired by Thor

Before they left to confront the Mad Titan, Thor, having been silent during the discussion, stood up from his chair and tested Danvers by summoning Stormbreaker in front of her, which she did not even flinch from. He then admired Danvers and expressed his reference for her. With Steve Rogers, Natasha Romanoff, Thor, Bruce Banner, War Machine, Rocket, and Nebula, Danvers boarded the Benatar to find Thanos.[2]

After boarding the Benatar, Captain Marvel co-piloted the ship along with Rocket Raccoon. They then made their jump through the Universal Neural Teleportation Network and arrived at the Garden. After arriving, Danvers informed them that she would do a recon of the area, during which she found no hostile forces defending Thanos' position.

Captain Marvel giving a report to the Avengers

Danvers promptly reported back to the Avengers and informed them that Thanos was alone on the planet, to which Nebula stated was enough. Captain Marvel then launched a proton blast through his hut. She then subdued Thanos by wrapping herself against him, putting him in a headlock and pushing his left arm with the Infinity Gauntlet away with her leg to prevent him from closing his fist and utilizing the Infinity Stones.

While Captain Marvel choked Thanos, Bruce Banner in the Mark XLVIII armor assisted her by bursting through the floor of Thanos' campfire and grabbed his arm, with War Machine holding Thanos' other arm. The Avengers proceeded to interrogate Thanos on the whereabouts of the Infinity Stones.

Captain Marvel learns that they have failed

Much to their horror, they found the Infinity Stones were no longer in the Gauntlet. When Captain America asked where the stones were, Danvers demanded Thanos to answer the question. Thanos revealed that he had destroyed the Infinity Stones, claiming they no longer served a purpose to him "beyond temptation." The Avengers initially believed Thanos to be lying, although Nebula stated that while her father was many things, a liar wasn't one of them. Danvers could only watch in horror as Thor decapitates Thanos. The Avengers, heartbroken, returned to Earth in defeat. With no more left to be done about the Snap, Danvers left Earth to assist other planets who were suffering similar crises to those of Earth.[2]

In 2023, Danvers messaged Rocket Raccoon and informed him about a highly-suspect warship so he and Nebula went to check it out. However, the ship turned out to be an infectious garbage scow, which caused them to smell like garbage. During a holo-conference, Rocket and Nebula complained to Danvers about her sending them into such a situation.

Danvers gives Natasha Romanoff an update

When Romanoff asked Danvers if she was coming to the New Avengers Facility in a month, she told her probably not. When Rocket teased her and asked if she was gonna get another haircut, she simply corrected him by calling him "fur-face". She informed the Avengers that the things that were happening on Earth were happening on thousands of planets and that she was needed elsewhere. Once the meeting concluded, Danvers, knowing that Romanoff would not like what Rhodes was going to say to her, wished him luck.

Eventually, the Snap was successfully reversed by Bruce Banner after the Avengers traveled in time to retrieve all six Infinity Stones from the past. However, the events of their successful time travel accidentally lead a Thanos from an alternate timeline to the present with them, along with the warlord's ships and soldiers. Danvers joined the many combatants present in the ensuing battle in defeating the duplicate Thanos' forces.

Captain Marvel tasked with the Nano Gauntlet

During the battle, Danvers destroyed Thanos' air force, including the Sanctuary II, after the warlord called in an airstrike in an attempt to stave off the Scarlet Witch's assault. Captain America then asked Danvers to help transport the Infinity Stones over to Luis' Van. Arriving on the battlefield, she landed in front of Spider-Man, who nervously introduced himself to her, having Danvers greet him. Once Danvers asked something from Parker, he handed her the Nano Gauntlet before being told that he doesn't know how she'll be able to go through all of Thanos' army. However, Danvers was suddenly assisted by a group of female heroes, who would help her transport the Gauntlet to Luis' Van.

Danvers then flew towards Luis' Van past Thanos' army. As she flew towards then van, Thanos tried to stop her but he was suddenly halted due to the efforts of Pepper Potts, Wasp, and Shuri, allowing Captain Marvel to move right past Thanos toward the van. However, Thanos managed to destroy the van with his Double-Edged Sword, sending Danvers flying backwards and dropping the Nano Gauntlet in the process. When Thanos managed to snatch back the gauntlet, Danvers attacked him by punching him in the face twice before being tossed aside. As Thanos put the gauntlet on and was about to perform the snap, Danvers quickly restrained him, grabbing the gauntlet. Being unaffected by a headbutt, she completely overpowers him and corners him. The Mad Titan changed tactics and took the Power Stone out of the Gauntlet to use its full potential. The direct hit rocketed Danvers off the battlefield and temporarily turned the tide back in the Titan's favor. However, in overpowering Danvers, Thanos gave Iron Man a chance to swipe the Infinity Stones for himself. With a snap of his fingers, Stark destroyed Thanos and his army once and for all, sacrificing himself in the process.[2] Danvers was among the heroes that gathered around the fallen hero and knelt out of respect for his sacrifice.[5]

Tony Stark's Funeral

Carol Danvers (2023)

Danvers attends Tony Stark's funeral

In the aftermath of the Battle of Earth, Danvers attended Tony Stark's funeral along with the rest of the Avengers to pay her respects. While at the funeral, she briefly reunited with Nick Fury for the first time since 1995. She then returned to space.[2]

Personality

"You were the woman on that black box, risking her life to do the right thing. My best friend, who supported me as a mother, and as a pilot when no one else did. You were smart and funny, and a huge pain in the ass. And you were the most powerful person I knew, way before you could shoot fire from your fists."
Maria Rambeau to Carol Danvers[src]

Carol Danvers is an extremely stubborn and rebellious person. Due to being told what to do or what her limits are her entire life, she has a tendency to act recklessly when attempting to do something, which often results in accidents. Having been repeatedly underestimated her entire life due to being a woman, Danvers never backs down from a challenge. She notably possesses a sassy and dry wit. Danvers is ultimately a very determined person, as though she often gets frustrated whenever she fails to do something, she always gets back up and tries again. Danvers' friends and relatives often mentioned that she had a short temper prior to being abducted by the Kree.

Though brash and prideful, Danvers has a hero's heart and is a loyal friend to the people she holds most dear. She regularly fights for the underdog, and for twenty-three years has acted as a cosmic Good Samaritan, offering her aid to planets all over the universe in need of a hero. Through sheer willpower, she overcame the Supreme Intelligence and was ready to take on Thanos himself to avenge her friends. Perhaps due to her own abusive upbringing, Danvers seems to have an easier time interacting with children than most other adults, acting as an honorary aunt to young Monica Rambeau and quickly establishing a rapport with Talos' daughter and sixteen-year-old Peter Parker.

Upon being kidnapped and misled by the Kree into becoming their soldier, Carol was completely indoctrinated into the teachings of the Kree Empire, firmly believing them to be noble warriors while also believing the Skrulls to be an evil plague. As "Vers," she was notably more stoic, owing to her handlers' insistence that her emotions make her weak. Even though she lost her memory due to the Kree wiping them from her mind, some of Danvers' traits remained, most notably her tendency to let her impulsive nature get the better of her, and her inability to let go of a strongly held conviction. After regaining her memories, Danvers returned to her more expressive self and became friendlier, though when in more serious situations she returns to her more stoic demeanor due to her military background.

Once she returned to Earth and recovered from her amnesia, Danvers felt both guilt over her actions against the Skrulls and anger towards the Kree, believing that she needs to undo the wrongs she had committed and stand up against her oppressors. However, Danvers still retained some degree of respect for Yon-Rogg despite everything he did to her, as she chose not to kill him and instead sent him back to Hala with the warning that Danvers will expose the truth about the Kree's manipulative empire.

When Danvers unlocked the full extent of her powers after overcoming the Supreme Intelligence she became significantly more confident in herself and her abilities, as she casually took down the Starforce with a rather laidback attitude then boldly declared that she didn't need to prove herself to Yong-Rogg after defeating him with a single blast. Danvers' self-confidence was shaken after the Snap, and started to give way to borderline arrogance in her desperation to somehow correct it. She coldly disregarded the other heroes' warnings. Aware of her power level relative to the others, Danvers regularly tried to work alone rather than integrate herself into the team. Still, she acknowledged that the Avengers have kept the Earth in good hands up to this point, and eventually established a rapport with her fellow heroes.

When the Snap was finally reversed, Danvers showed a brighter and friendlier side to herself. During the Battle of Earth, she placed her faith in her teammates and openly accepted help when she needed it, even from people whom she barely knew because they were all rallied behind the same cause. She also opted to stay for Iron Man's funeral out of respect for the fallen Avenger.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

"I've been fighting with one hand tied behind my back. But what happens when I'm finally set free?"
―Captain Marvel to Supreme Intelligence[src]

Hybrid Physiology/Cosmic Enhancement: Danvers' powers are the result of having absorbed the energy of the Light-Speed Engine, which was derived from the Tesseract, and gained almost unlimited cosmic powers in the process. The Kree deemed it necessary to place an inhibitor on Danvers to keep her powers in check. After being found by Yon-Rogg, she was taken to Hala, Danvers was subjected to a Kree blood transfusion of Yon-Rogg's blood, which essentially turned her into a Kree-Human hybrid. This greatly enhanced Danvers' physical abilities, such as her strength, durability, speed, reflexes, and agility to superhuman levels. These levels can be increased even further by Danvers augmenting herself with cosmic energy. She is also trained in the arts of battle by the Kree which have been practiced for years and she has come to rely solely on her fighting skills, strength, and photon blasts. Many years later, Danvers demonstrated much greater control over her powers, which makes her one of the most powerful beings in the universe and allowed her to compete with a being as powerful as Thanos, as she was able to briefly overpower the Mad Titan until he used the Power Stone to punch her away.

"She's stronger than you think."
Yon-Rogg to Korath[src]
  • Superhuman Strength: Due to the Kree blood running through her veins, Danvers possesses superhuman strength. With this, she was able to defeat many Humans, Skrulls and Kree with relative ease. Even before completely unleashing her incredible cosmic powers, she was already strong enough to defeat over a dozen Skrull soldiers without the use of her photon blasts. Her super strength generally allows her to send her opponents flying through the air with simple blows and kicks. When she and Nick Fury were escaping from several S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, Danvers was able to bend a metal bar to prevent the door from being opened. Her strength also extends to her ability to jump great distances. During her battle with Starforce, Danvers was able to knock Bron-Char back with a single punch, and uppercut Korath into the air and send him flying away with a kick.
  • Superhuman Durability: Danvers' skin density, muscles, and bones have increased exponentially due to her hybrid influenced physiology. As such, Danvers possesses resistance to blunt trauma, falls from high altitudes, Kree energy shots, and large explosions. During the mission to Torfa, Danvers was electrocuted by Skrull energy and was only momentarily stunned, before falling completely unconscious. When a Skrull hit her directly in the face with a cane, Danvers simply turned and hit back twice as hard. She also resisted the explosion of a Skrull space pod followed by an immense crash on the roof of a Blockbuster and was only slightly dazed but came out of it without a single scratch. Danvers' incredible durability even allowed her to hold the Tesseract with her bare hands without suffering any damage. She also resisted the attacks of her former Starforce comrades during combat, as well as withstanding the metals that Yon-Rogg controlled telekinetically with his Magnitron Gauntlets. She was also able to withstand heavy blows from Bron-Char's energy gauntlets.
  • Superhuman Reflexes: Danvers can react to as well as dodge objects that travel at high speeds, with her dodging many of the blows of the Skrulls and later the members of the Starforce with relative ease and almost effortlessly. Also, while flying, she was able to dodge the gunshots of the Kree warship.
  • Enhanced Speed: Danvers can move at great superhuman speeds. She is able to overwhelm several Skrulls, including Talos, in hand-to-hand combat, and easily dodged their wild attacks while landing her own blows as well. While chasing a Skrull through the city of Los Angeles, Danvers was able to keep up with the speed of a train to finally get on top of it. She was also able to handle her former Starforce compatriots in combat, easily dodging their attacks.
Yon-Rogg vs Vers

Vers acrobatically sparring with Yon-Rogg

  • Enhanced Agility: Danvers has greater agility, dexterity, balance, and body coordination than a regular human being. During her training with Yon-Rogg, Danvers was able to do elaborate cartwheels and flying kicks against him. She was also able to dodge many of the Skrulls' punches and overcome them in her battle. She was able to easily keep up with and surpass the Starforce members, despite the great agility in combat shown by the latter.
  • Regenerative Healing Factor: Due to the Kree blood running through her veins, Danvers can regenerate from injuries much faster than a normal human, with an example being that there was no scar after being directly hit in the face by a Skrull, who drew blood. Another example was her having fallen from a considerable distance through the roof of a Blockbuster, only for Danvers to recover quickly and without any injuries.
  • Longevity: Due to her Kree blood and cosmic augmentations, Danvers' aging process was greatly reduced. Her physical age and condition at the time of the Battle of Earth is still the same as it was when she got her powers over three decades beforehand.
  • Energy Absorption: After destroying the Light-Speed Engine's power core, Danvers became infused with the energy of the Tesseract. Due to this, her body is capable of passively absorbing most forms of energy and transforming it into her signature cosmic energy, which she can then use in a variety of ways.[6] Due to this, Danvers is immune to most energy based attacks, as she can absorb the energy and use it to strengthen herself, such as when she absorbed the energy of the blasts fired at her from the Sanctuary II. However, Danvers does have her limits as she was unable to absorb the energy of the Power Stone when Thanos used it to punch her.
    • Cosmic Energy Manipulation: Following her victory over the Supreme Intelligence, Danvers gained control over this power without the help of the Photon Inhibitor and she became fully capable to summon this energy at will. Danvers can also envelope herself within her energy, which emits itself as a glowing aura surrounding her in a form known as Binary. This greatly increases Danvers' physical abilities, such as her strength and durability, as well as her photon blast, and gave her the ability to fly at incredible speeds, which is what allowed her to defeat the entire Starforce, destroy the ballistic missiles, as well as almost all of Ronan's fleet to the point that Ronan considered Danvers a weapon and swore to come back for her. In addition, Danvers can also accumulate her energy into her hands to increase the damage behind her blows. Danvers can also use her energy in a defensive manner by using it to block blows, such as when she blocked a strike from Korath's energy sword which likely would have cut her if she did not use her energy to shield her hand.
      • Photon Blasts:
        Captain Marvel fighting Kree ships

        Captain Marvel shooting her photon blasts

        Danvers can directly siphon her cosmic energy into dense powerful photon blasts strong enough to pulverize concrete and metal or lighter blasts which only send opponents flying away into the air. During her training, Danvers used a blast that sent Yon-Rogg flying a considerable distance. She was able to send three Skrulls back and then use a blast to propel herself and not be sucked into space when she opened a hole in Talos' ship. During the pursuit of the Skrulls, Danvers was able to use her photon blasts to destroy a roof where a Skrull was attacking her as well as to destroy part of a tunnel and break the roof of a train in order to enter it. She could also use a photon blast to knock Talos down, which left him momentarily unconscious. After overcoming her fear and destroying the Photon Inhibitor, Danvers was able to release the energy as a shock wave that was powerful enough to knock down three members of Starforce and two Kree soldiers instantly. She was also able to effortlessly topple Yon-Rogg with a single shot that sent him flying several feet into the air. She also used a photon blast against Thanos, which he blocked with his left hand, which was wearing the Infinity Gauntlet.
      • Exothermic Manipulation: Danvers can accumulate the energy in her hands to burn, melt or traverse solid metals, such as steel doors, ceilings or walls. She used this ability to free herself from the restrictions that the Skrulls had placed on her. However, she could not free herself from the handcuffs, so she had to work hard to use her photon blasts. When demonstrating her powers to Monica Rambeau, she also used this ability to boil the water in a tea kettle.
      • Energy Channeling: Danvers can utilize her cosmic energy in order to regulate the functional usage of a mechanized appliance as well as modulate their energy output. This is usually accommodated by a flare-up of her cosmic energies whenever she uses her powers to their fullest ebb. Her energy could also cause interference and power surges in nearby technology, as was exemplified by what unlocking her full power did to not only Mar-Vell's lab, but also the Kree energy cuffs used to restrain her allies, and the force fielded cells containing the captured Skrulls, thereby allowing them to break out. While flying back down to Earth to face off with Yon-Rogg, her very presence was enough to cause the surrounding power lines to flare up with electrical energy until she landed and powered down. Danvers was also able to jump start Yon-Rogg's pod by blasting it with a short pulse of her energy.
      • Binary Mode:
        Captain Marvel (film) 110

        Captain Marvel goes Binary

        Danvers is able to harness the power of her cosmic energy to greatly augment her physical attributes, such as her strength and durability, in a form referred to as Binary.[7] In order for Danvers to acquire this state, she must produce a massive amount of cosmic energy to envelope herself within, which manifests as a glowing aura around her. In this state, her strength and durability are augmented notably so to the point where she could destroy a Kree Warship by flying straight through it, as well as stop a Kree ballistic missile from detonating on Earth by pushing them away. By producing enough cosmic energy, Danvers can become essentially invulnerable and incalculably strong, to the point where she could destroy the Sanctuary II with ease, effortlessly restrain Thanos. Her photon blasts also become more powerful, to the point that she could destroy Kree Warships with a single blast. As Binary, Danvers' blows become vastly more powerful due to her accumulating a larger amount of energy within her hands, giving her blows the ability to stun incredibly durable beings like Thanos. In this state, Danvers' durability is also augmented to the point where she was unfazed by a headbutt from Thanos, much to the Mad Titan's surprise, and even resisted a direct blow with the Power Stone, appearing unharmed shortly after.
        • Self-Sustenance: With her full cosmic power unleashed, Danvers is able to survive out in the depths of space without any breathing equipment, having floated in front of the Skrull refugee's ship in the airless vacuum without her helmet activated.
        • Flight:
          Captain Marvel 02

          Captain Marvel flying through space.

          While enveloping herself with cosmic energy, Danvers can fly, glide and float through the air and vacuum of space without outside help. She can fly at incredible speed, allowing her to take off into the atmosphere and even outer space and land safely on the planet's surface with ease. She can also maneuver with great precision in any direction, as well as float in one place. She quickly mastered the power of flight to the point where she could fly to the outer edges of the atmosphere in seconds to destroy incoming missiles and ships sent by Ronan. Later, when she decided to help the Skrulls to find a new world to inhabit, she was able to fly next to the Skrulls' ship at the speed of light. She was also able to fly quickly in space to save Tony Stark and later as she circled Thanos' planet to see if there was any kind of security. During the Battle of Earth, Danvers was able to come directly from space.

Abilities

"I saw you crush 20 of my best men with your hands bound."
Talos to Carol Danvers[src]
AoT 20

Captain Marvel fighting against Thanos

  • Expert Combatant: Having been trained for six years by Yon-Rogg, Danvers is a highly-trained unarmed combatant, as well as an expert of the Kree's unique martial arts. During her workouts, Danvers fought her own mentor Yon-Rogg, though he had the upper hand. She is skilled enough to defeat almost two dozen Skrulls soldiers while she was handcuffed and could not use her photon blasts, and even managed to dominate commander Talos with relative ease. During the pursuit on the train, Danvers was able to fight against the Skrull Spy on equal terms, although this time with less ease and ultimately didn't manage to defeat him. Later, with her new ability to manipulate cosmic energy being linked to her combat abilities, Danvers was able to defeat the other Starforce members, including Yon-Rogg, with ease and without much effort. Danvers was also able to subdue a weakened Thanos, by putting him in a headlock, long enough for the other Avengers to come to help her. During the final battle, Danvers was able to fight Thanos while almost managing to take away the Nano Gauntlet but was ultimately bested by him enhancing his strength with the Power Stone.
  • Expert Acrobat: Danvers' years of experience have made her an accomplished acrobat. She is skilled above all in the use of parkour, managing to jump over several objects during the chase to a Skrull in the city of Los Angeles. Danvers is also very good at climbing tall structures quickly.
  • Marksman: Danvers is proficient at using weapons, as she used a Kree gun to threaten Yon-Rogg, then shot it at the Light-Speed Engine.
"Do you know how to fly this thing?"
"We'll see."
"That's a 'yes' or 'no' question."

  • Master Pilot: Danvers is an extremely skilled pilot, having been trained in the Air Force. She easily piloted the improved aircraft with the energy of the Space Stone and even temporarily held her own in an aerial battle with Yon-Rogg, which demonstrates Danvers' incredible ability to fly. Even when under her Vers persona, Danvers could operate a Quadjet, a vehicle which would have been unfamiliar to a Kree, as if by instinct. Later, Danvers was able to pilot the Quadjet as they headed to Mar-Vell's Laboratory in outer space. Danvers was also able to co-pilot the Benatar, along with Rocket, as they made their way to Thanos' Farm.
  • Expert Engineer: Since returning to Earth, Danvers has demonstrated remarkable aptitude with enhancing Earth communications technology, such as a payphone or Nick Fury's pager, into a highly advanced intergalactic communicators.

  • Starforce Uniform: Danvers possesses a uniform she used on her missions within Starforce and wears as Captain Marvel. The uniform contains a device capable of analyzing and identifying any object placed within it on the uniform's sleeve. The uniform's color scheme can also be customized to the user's preferences via a device located on the uniform's sleeve, which Danvers took advantage of when she no longer felt morally comfortable wearing Kree colors. The uniform also includes a collapsible helmet that can fit around the wearer's head, and leaves some of Danvers' hair exposed in a mohawk. The helmet can generate its own atmosphere and allows the wearer to breathe in the vacuum of space, as well as underwater, where it will give off a blue glow to provide light. Five years after the Snap, Danvers changed the colors of the costume again; she changed part of the chest, shoulder pads, neck, gloves and boots to blue, and the rest to the color red. In addition, she added new accessories, like a sash on her belt.
  • Translator Implant: Danvers possesses a universal translator that allows her to comprehend most any languages and speak it fluently as well.
  • Photon Inhibitor: This device was utilized by the Supreme Intelligence to keep Danvers' powers in check and ensure she would not lose control of them. The device was able to limit the amount of energy Danvers' could emit and even revoke this power entirely. The device could also limit Danvers' physical abilities such as her strength and durability due to the fact that they are directly proportional to how much cosmic energy Danvers produces. Danvers eventually destroyed the device out of defiance, unlocking her true potential.
Tesseract (Captain Marvel)

  • Tesseract: The Tesseract was the housing unit for the Space Stone that was discovered by Carol Danvers. She stopped her former Starforce teammates from taking it and then tried to give it to Nick Fury, only for Goose to swallow it with her tentacles.
  • Transmitter Pager: A communication device used by Nick Fury, which is an ordinary Earth pager modified by Carol Danvers using Kree technology so that she could be contacted by Fury as a last resort in extreme emergencies.

Vehicles

  • F-15C Eagle: During her tenure as a pilot within the United States Air Force, Danvers flew her own F-15C Eagle, in which her rank, name, and call-sign were adorned on the left side directly under her cockpit's canopy glass.
  • Helion: During missions with the Starforce, Danvers was transported on this ship with her former teammates.
  • Skrulls' Ship: After being captured by the Skrulls on Torfa, Danvers was brought on their ship and had her mind probed. Danvers later escaped and destroyed the ship before escaping in a space pod.
  • Space Pod: During her escape from Talos' ship, Danvers used a space capsule, which was destroyed upon reaching Earth's atmosphere, which ended in the arrival of Danvers to this planet.
  • Motorcycle: When she decided to go to Pancho's Bar to find out more about her past, Danvers stole a motorcycle which she drove relatively easily.
  • Quadjet: During the escape of her and Nick Fury from the Joint NASA USAF Facility, Danvers piloted this ship with great skill. Later she used it to travel to Mar-Vell's Laboratory with her allies.
  • Benatar: While heading to Thanos' Farm with the other Avengers, Danvers co-piloted the ship, next to Rocket.

Facilities

  • Edwards Air Force Base: Danvers, along with Maria Rambeau, were stationed at this U.S Air Force base as test pilots, as the test flights of the Light-Speed Engine were performed from base.
  • Rambeau Residence: After Danvers and Nick Fury inspect the archives at the Joint NASA USAF Facility, they found out that one of the last persons to see Danvers alive on Earth was Maria Rambeau, so the two headed to her residence in Louisiana in search of answers. After she defeated the Kree forces attacking Earth, she celebrated their victory with her allies in Rambeau's house.
  • Mar-Vell's Laboratory: Danvers traveled to her late-mentor's laboratory with her allies to find the Tesseract and a group of Skrull refugees. They were ambushed by the Starforce who captured Danvers, but she broke free and escaped with her allies, unlocking her full range of powers in the process and engaging in an all-out battle with the Starforce, defeating them.
  • New Avengers Facility: Danvers tracked the Transmitter Pager to this facility after Fury used it to call for her help. After meeting the Avengers, she left to rescue Iron Man. She eventually found him in space with Nebula and carried them to this facility, where they discussed how to handle the Snap and Thanos.

Trivia

  • In the comics, Carol Danvers is the seventh holder of the "Captain Marvel" title, after Mar-Vell. She obtained powers after a fusion of Kree and human genes, assuming the codenames Ms. Marvel, Binary and Warbird before becoming Captain Marvel, after the Avengers vs. X-Men comic event where Mar-Vell died while going up against the Phoenix Force.
    • In Avengers: Endgame, Danvers sported several physical features that referenced her classic appearance in the comics, such as the iconic short hair and the sash on her belt.
  • Danvers is a fan of Guns N' Roses and Lita Ford.
  • In the flashbacks to young Danvers playing baseball with her brother, she wears a red and white uniform while Steve wears the "B" of the Boston Red Sox. This is a nod to the comics, where the Danvers siblings grew up in Boston, Massachusetts.
  • Captain Marvel is the fourth character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe whose powers come from an Infinity Stone, following Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Vision. Unlike the other three, hers come from the Space Stone rather than the Mind Stone.
