See: the YMMV pages for Captain Marvel (Marvel Comics) and Ms. Marvel (2014).
- Adaptation Displacement: You would be hard pressed to find a person on the street who knows who Ms. Marvel is. It would be harder still to find one who knows anything about Marvel's original Captain Marvel (as in, Mar-Vell). To this day Ms. Marvel is best known to some people as simply being "that blonde chick Rogue stole her cool 90s powers from" or "that blonde chick in the Stripperific black swimsuit costume." This is becoming more pronounced now that Carol Danvers will be the MCU Captain Marvel and Kamala has become the new Ms. Marvel, complete with animated adaptations.
- Iron Woobie: Can apply to Carol, Sharon, and Kamala. Karla, not so much.
- More Popular Spin-Off: Both Carol and Kamala have achieved higher levels of popularity as Ms. Marvel alone than Mar-Vell has ever had (not unexpected, considering he's most famous for dying and never coming back). Carol so much that she became Captain Marvel... and thanks to the MCU, became the most famous holder of the name, even more than Billy Batson himself!
