History Characters / MarvelComicsCarolDanvers

** vol. 2 (2006 -- 2010)

She was later involved in various events such as the ComicBook/{{Civil War|2006}} (siding with Iron Man, and [[KickTheDog kicking some dogs]] along the way) and the ComicBook/SecretInvasion. She was once the leader of the ''ComicBook/MightyAvengers'' team, then she joined the ''ComicBook/NewAvengers'' after ComicBook/NormanOsborn formed the ''ComicBook/DarkAvengers''. When Osborn's ''ComicBook/DarkReign'' was over, she became a member of the ''New Avengers'' under ComicBook/LukeCage. She is also recurring character in ''ComicBook/{{Alias}}'' as best friend of fallen superhero-turned-PrivateDetective Jessica Jones.

* ClothingDamage: Happen during ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'' when a Skrull unleashes an energy blast from his eyes that shreds her costume.

* OneWomanArmy: She defeated an army of Super-Skrulls during ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion''.

* {{Foil}}: ComicBook/{{Rogue}} is this to her and vice versa. Carol is from Boston and strait-laced, Rogue is from Mississippi and wild. Carol is primarily coloured and blonde, Rogue is green coloured and brunette. Carol has traditionally heroic powers that thanks to a retcon are natural while Rogue has a power that’s associated with villains stealing abilities from other people. Carol is abrasive and bold, Rogue besides some sass is more troubled and atoning. Ironically in modern comics their traits are swapped around, Rogue is generally long haired, sweet and unambiguously heroic like Carol usually is while Carol (especially in ''Civil War II'') is short haired, butch and more flawed and cruel like Rogue once was.

* PietaPlagiarism: As in parodying 'The Death of Captain Marvel', the last print of her second series (#50) had her in this pose... with ''the same death figure''. That doesn't kill her, fortunately.

* AlternateCompanyEquivalent: Carol is three of these.
** Generally she’s the Marvel equivalent for ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} being the outgoing beautiful blonde FlyingBrick sidekick for an alien hero (Superman and Mar-Vell) who has dual life problems. Furthermore later modern comics strengthen this by retroactively revealing Carol is part Kree, meaning she was an alien like Supergirl all along or at least on her mother’s side. Not to mention her name Carol Danvers is very similar to Supergirl’s alias Kara Danvers.
** In the more recent years since her relaunch as Captain Marvel Carol been billed as “Marvel’s ComicBook/WonderWoman” with her a PrimaryColourChampion costume and being an idol to young women within the Marvel universe on top of being the female FlyingBrick of the Avengers and most powerful next to Thor (who’s the equivalent to Superman). Thanks to the revelation about her past she also shares Wonder Woman’s mixed heritage.
** Carol can definitely be seen as a DistaffCounterpart to Hal Jordan aka ComicBook/GreenLantern both being hotshot Air Force pilots who thanks to some alien device become a FlyingBrick space heroes with energy-based powers.

** Some fans also jokingly consider Carol's greatest enemies to be cars due to her rather frequent tendency to get hit by them in battle. The car thing took kind of a shocking twist when her unpowered ComicBook/UltimateMarvel counterpart was [[BrickJoke hit by a car and put in critical condition in an arc of the Ultimates]]. This becomes even funnier in the Franchise/{{Transformers}} crossover where Carol runs foul of the Autobot.

** To Kamala Khan, her successor as ComicBook/MsMarvel most prominently. Their relationship sours in ''Civil War 2'' where Kamala sees Carol as a BrokenPedestal but they manage to sort it out later when Carol becomes TheAtoner.

* TookALevelInJerkass: A lot of people note Carol received this upon discarding her Ms. Marvel persona and becoming the new Captain Marvel. While she’s always been abrasive and outspoken and in at least one comic happy to let an alien villain suffocate in the vacuum space in front of her, she was still generally compassionate, patient and unambiguously heroic. The moments where she lashed out at people were usually justified Example or at least sympathetic given her bouts with alcoholism and a domineering misogynistic father who ignored her achievements and wanted her to StayInTheKitchen. After becoming Captain Marvel however her nicer moments soon became fewer and far between as Carol started getting written more like a superpowered Maria Hill being extremely callous, suspicious, short tempered and tactless. This cumulated in ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' where Carol is essentially a VillainProtagonist who uses Ulysses to hound people down, gets Rhodey, She-Hulk and Bruce Banner killed and puts Tony in a coma. Tellingly even Kamala (her protégé amd greatest fan) disowned Carol for her actions and sided against her. Much like Tony though she does become nice again in the wake of her actions and becomes TheAtoner, acknowledging she has problems that need fixing.

* BrokenPedestal: Tragically Kamala views Carol as this for her actions on ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'' and sides against her. This hits Carol very hard and it took several more years and Carol to do serious atoning for them to reconcile and reconnect.
