Genis goes insane and threatens to destroy the universe.Īfter dying and resurrecting himself-with the secret aid of Baron Helmut Zemo-Genis-Vell joins the Thunderbolts under the name Photon. Although the pair do not get along at first, they eventually become good friends. Genis, like his father, wears the Nega-Bands, possesses Cosmic Awareness, and is, for a time, bonded with Rick Jones. The character is the genetically-engineered son of Mar-Vell and his lover Elysius, created from the late Mar-Vell's cell samples and artificially aged to physical, if not emotional, maturity. The third Captain Marvel is Genis-Vell, who first appeared in Silver Surfer Annual #6 (1993) using the codename of "Legacy". She returned to the Avengers using the codename Spectrum. Members include Monica Rambeau, a man known only as The Captain, Boom Boom, Aaron Stack, and Elsa Bloodstone. (a subsidiary of the Beyond Corporation) forms a team to fight the Bizarre Weapons of Mass Destruction.
In this series created by Warren Ellis and Stuart Immonen, H.A.T.E. (the Highest Anti-Terrorism Effort) in the new series titled Nextwave. Genis-Vell and Monica discussed this, and Monica decided on the name Pulsar. She eventually ceded the Captain Marvel name to the original Captain Marvel's son after which Rambeau took the name Photon, using that name for quite some time until Genis-Vell adopted the same name.
She is a member of the Avengers, and at one point she served as their leader. Sometime later, the Stranger returned her energy-transformation abilities. Her powers were briefly altered so that she cannot transform to energy, but instead can generate a personal force field. The character is Monica Rambeau, a police lieutenant from New Orleans Louisiana, who possesses the power to transform herself into any form of energy. She first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16 (1982). The second Captain Marvel was created by writer Roger Stern and artist John Romita Jr. He died from this cancer on Titan in the presence of the Marvel Universe's superhero community, as chronicled in Marvel's first large-format graphic novel, The Death of Captain Marvel, published in 1982. His career was cut short when he developed inoperable cancer, the result of earlier exposure to toxic nerve gas during a battle with Nitro. Mar-Vell became a close ally of the Titans, and one of their number, Elysius, became his lover. Together, Mar-Vell and Rick continue to battle against evil, most notably battling the Death-worshipping Thanos. Mar-Vell is freed from the Negative Zone and becomes a cosmic champion, the "Protector of the Universe" appointed by the cosmic entity Eon. With the title's sales still flagging, Marvel allowed Jim Starlin to conceptually revamp the character, although his appearance was little changed. The process of the young man being replaced in a flash by the older superhero was a nod to the original Fawcett Captain Marvel, which had young Billy Batson say the magic word "Shazam" to transform into the hero. He is also given superpowers, and his Kree military uniform is replaced with a form-fitting costume. Having been exiled to the Negative Zone by the Supreme Intelligence, the only way Mar-Vell can temporarily escape is to exchange atoms with Rick Jones by means of special wristbands called Nega-Bands. He was later revamped by Roy Thomas and Gil Kane. From then on, Mar-Vell fights to protect Earth from all threats. Mar-Vell eventually wearies of his superiors' malicious intent and allies himself with Earth, and the Kree Empire brands him a traitor. This character is an alien military officer, Captain Mar-Vell of the Kree Imperial Militia, who is sent to observe the planet Earth as it is developing technology to travel into space. The first Captain Marvel comic book printed by Marvel Comics was created by Roy Thomas and Gene Colan. In order to retain its trademark, Marvel has published a Captain Marvel title periodically every few years since, leading to a number of ongoing series, limited series, and one-shots featuring a range of characters using the Captain Marvel alias. In the late 1960s Marvel gained the trademark "Captain Marvel" with its first series.
Following a trial in which DC Comics sued Fawcett Comics for breach of copyright, claiming Fawcett's Captain Marvel was too similar to Superman, the latter stopped publishing Captain Marvel in 1953.
