Captain Marvel

In this post I'll be covering a pretty cool character who isn't widely known but she'll be playing a central role in the movies for the next few years. Carol Danvers was introduced in 1968 she was created by Roy Thomas and Gene Colan, when she first appeared she was just a regular civilian who no one thought much of. Later she was reintroduced as a shield agent who was in a accident that changed her DNA which gave her powers changing her into Captain Marvel. Captain Marvel's popularity never really took off as expected until around the later 2000's after the Civil War story line where she became leader of the Avengers for a brief time after Captain America died, since then her status has decreased back to a relative unknown among Marvel superheroes. She has the powers of super strength, speed, and flight.
