Several different characters throughout Marvel’s long and colorful history have used the name Captain Marvel. It has come to represent warriors of the highest order, those defending not only the Earth but all the cosmos, as well. The very first Captain Marvel was a transplanted alien warrior by the name of Mar-Vell. A play on his name granted him the alias of a fighter for peace across the stars. The woman that followed him, Carol Danvers, became imbued with Mar-Vell’s wondrous powers. Over the years, the title of Captain Marvel has been passed down by several more people, some of whom were Mar-Vell’s own children. But it was the third person to take up the mantle of Captain Marvel, who is perhaps the most powerful of them all, a woman who has not only proven herself to be worthy of the name Captain Marvel, but also as an exemplary leader, friend, and defender, as well. Monica Rambeau has used many names throughout her career as a superhero, but the name of Captain Marvel is the one that suits her the best and is the most representative of her marvelous feats and powers.Monica Rambeau debuted in 1982’s Spider-Man Annual #16 (by Roger Stern and John Romita Jr.) A former member of the New Orleans Harbor Patrol, Monica Rambeau found herself embroiled in an incredibly dangerous situation when a mysterious and suspicious ship came into port. Knowing that something foul was afoot, Monica decided to investigate the vessel. Uncovering a dangerous machine capable of drawing and storing vast amounts of extra-dimensional energy, Monica’s attempts at apprehending the criminals responsible turned sideways. The machine became damaged and detonated, dousing Monica in the stored energy. This accident changed Monica on an atomic level, altering her very being into pure energy. When the ordeal finally came to an end, a security guard saw Monica and called her “Captain Marvel,” unknowingly granting her the title of the classic cosmic hero.Pound for pound, Monica Rambeau stands alongside the likes of Thor, Quasar, and the Silver Surfer in terms of strength. While her strength is not physical like the Hulks or Gladiators, Monica’s power set and mastery of raw energy are virtually godlike. In 1987’s Avengers Vs. The X-Men (by Roger Stern and Marc Silvestri) Rogue, by then possessing the powers of the former Captain Marvel Carol Danvers, paled when Monica appeared before her mid-flight and turned 180 degrees without slowing down. Monica’s powers are so great that she can easily be classified as an Alpha-level threat, a ranking that puts her alongside the likes of Blue Marvel and possibly above the Hulk, Phoenix, and even Sentry. Granted, she is a hero and would never use her powers for evil, but the reality remains that Monica possesses powers that could prove catastrophic to the entire universe should she ever have a change of heart.
