Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers)

Ms. Marvel (aka Carol Danvers) is a characters from the Marvel Comics. The character has also been known as Binary, Warbird, and Captain Marvel at various points in her history. After encountering the Kree hero Captain Marvel, Carol was accidentally subjected to otherworldly radiation that transformed her into a superhuman warrior. Calling herself Captain Marvel, she established herself as one of the most powerful and prominent heroes, both as a solo heroine and as a member of the Avengers. She has now adopted the mantle of Captain Marvel for herself. She was already an ace fighter pilot, a former officer in the U.S Air Force, and a former CIA agent when she was previously hired as the head of the security of NASA headquarters at Cape Canaveral. One of Carol's co-workers at NASA was Dr. Phillip Lawson, who was secretly an extra terrestrial Kree super agent named Mar-Vell. When a dormant Kree Sentry robot named NASA had been studying activated and went berserk, Mar-Vell defeated the robot and saved CArol's life in the process, with the press dubbing the mysterious new superhero "Captain Marvel". Carol became drawn to Mar-Vell and a romantic development between the two of them. A Kree enemy of Mar-Vell named Yon-Rogg eventually learned of the relationship and abducted Carol as the bait to Mar-Vell in a trap. When Mar-Vell immediately came to the rescue, Yon-Rogg deployed forbidden Kree technology called the Psyche-Magnitron in an attempt to destroy his enemy. During the battle of the Psyche-Magnitron, which had the power to turn thoughts into reality, exploded and Captain Marvel shielded Carol from its radiation with his own body, causing Carol to absorb much of his own genetic template. Carol's wish to stand with Mar-Vell as am equal rather than a helpless victim complete the process and her DNA became a perfect synthesis of Kree and human genes. After Carol recovered from the explosion, she had gained superhuman powers much like those of Captain Marvel and her alter-ego even wore a costume patterned after that of the Kree hero. She became known as Ms. Marvel, and soon established herself as a powerful superhero in her own right.
