Ms. Marvel (1977) #1, 19

by Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway, Chris Claremont

Carol Danvers has one of comics' most richly varied careers - both in and out of costume! She's been a U.S. Air Force pilot, an undercover agent and a NASA security chief - but after meeting Kree warrior Mar-Vell, Carol gained incredible powers of her own, becoming Ms. Marvel! She soon joined the Avengers but later took to outer space as the cosmic Binary! Years later, a new name -Warbird - accompanied Carol's return to Earth's Mightiest Heroes and her later position as a government-appointed agent. But at last, Carol Danvers hasembraced her legacy - and now flies higher and faster as Captain Marvel! COLLECTING: MARVEL SUPER-HEROES (1967) 13; MS.
