The bad haircuts of Carol Danvers

[starwolf_oakley]

Fans of Carol Danvers like her new Captain Marvel costume, but dislike her hair. But Carol has had stupid haircuts in the past.



An upcoming cover of her new solo series:


The first issue of her first solo series:

Must be when Dorothy Hamil was really popular.

From AVENGERS 348:


This is after Carol as Binary and Quasar saved the sun in Operation: Galactic Storm. It is why her Binary powers are so much weaker.

Carol's recuperation at Avengers Mansion is how she was able to mend fences with the Avengers after the whole "Marcus impregnation" incident from AVENGERS #200. It is really weird how mind-bogglingly stupid the Avengers were in that story. But we never really saw how Carol and the Avengers (that were in issue #200) patched things up.

Fanboy ramblings ahoy!

If *I* was going to write the new Captain Marvel series, I would reveal the whole Marcus incident *and* Rogue absorbing Carol's powers and memories was a plot/scheme by Kang or Immortus or some *other* time traveler. It would explain the Avengers being so dumb and Destiny *not* knowing Rogue attacking Carol would go so horribly wrong, leading to Rogue running away from Mystique. Why such a plan? Well, Carol becoming Binary prevents the X-Men from getting turned into the Brood, so there's that. But perhaps there is more to the story.

No, she took the name after Mar-Vell's death but years before his spawn started cropping up like weeds (and I don't think Carol could be said to be related to him in any comprehensible way). Monica was a lieutenant, but was nicknamed "The Captain" by a friend she worked with, and after she gained her powers during an accident the shellshocked friend could only mutter "The Captain is a marvel... the Captain is a marvel" over and over and she sort of adopted the name from that.

Well, with Carol I meant more connected by backstory, in that her origin as a superhero is tied to Mar-Vell. She got her powers from him (sorta) and she is often connected to him, such as her first costume being similar to his. I had forgotten about the substantial time difference between Carol and the other Vells. Not sure how I did. Still, I find it odd. Don't get me wrong, I like Monica, more then the other CMs in fact, just never got why they went with that codename. I actually like her most recent, Pulsar, the best. Probably because I'm quite the astrophysics nerd.
