Hello fellow nerds and welcome back to another amazing Captain Marvel list.
I’m your host, Amanda McKnight.
In this list we get to explore the top 10 characters we most want to see Captain Marvel.
There was a lot to choose from for this list and lot got left out, so let me know if there
someone I didn’t include but that you are super hope makes into the film in the comments
below.
Also fair warning, I dreamt big with this list.

And now time for our cosmic countdown.
There has been much speculation around who Jude Law will portray in Captain Marvel.
At one point we all thought, Kree leader?
Well I mean come on has to be, Mar-Vell, the Kree leader who saves and later inspires her
to change her name from the original Ms Marvel to Captain Marvel in his honour.
But then we found out that although Carol has powers at the start of the film, she also
has big case of memory loss.
And who is most likely responsible for that based on our comic-book lore?
Yon-Rogg.
Though really through the presence of both of these characters Mar-Vell and his jealous
nemesis, the villian, Yon Rogg that Carol originally receives her powers.
So which is it?
Yon Rogg or Mar-Vell?
Villian or ally?
Well according to IMDb it is currently Yon-Rogg with no mention of Mar-Vell whatsoever.
Whichever it ends up being, we expect Law’s character will play an integral role in the
origin story of Carol’s powers.
If it’s Yon-Rogg so be it, but I sincerely hope we get a Mar-Vell somewhere in there
as well.
While we wait on the Dark Phoenix movie to come out hopefully this summer, I have some
plans, some dreams for Phoenix in the interim.
Wouldn’t it be cool if the Phoenix Force melded with Captain Marvel?
Okay, okay.
I know it’ll probably never happen but this is a list of wants of dreams, not of reality.
And I think a great ending for Thanos and the Avengers franchise could lie with the
marriage of these two entities.
Although Captain Marvel and has never been possessed by the alien entity that saves Jean
Grey and creates Phoenix and later Dark Phoenix, the two have crossed paths in the comics.
In Avengers vs X-Men, Ms Marvel, now Captain Marvel fights against the Phoenix Force in
an attempt to stop it from arriving on Earth.
Although she isn’t much of a match for the entity, it would be neat to see Captain Marvel
merge with the Phoenix Force to take down Thanos, after all the Phoenix Force is probably
one of the few entities that could defeat him.
Also, nevermind Kree vs Skrulls, Avengers vs X-Men would make for a great film in and
of itself!
Jessica Drew, Spider Woman on earth 616, and Carol Danvers have always been super close
in the comics and while they haven’t always played nice…
Remember in Civil War the Initiative, that time that Carol lied to Jessica, claiming
that Captain America was still alive after the events of the first Civil War in an attempt
to trap Jessica with other Avengers that were loyal to Cap whom Carol had rounded up?
Still, despite their differences, the two are usually there to help each other and both
belong to the Avengers, a point Carol fights to point out to Tony Stark in the same comic.
With so many Avengers MIA in the aftermath of Avengers Infinity War, I think it would
be super cool to see Spider Woman introduced and later join the Avenger team in the MCU.
After all, how many Spider Women exist in the comics?
So many!
And so far only a few have graced the big screen.
Would love to see Jessica Drew, among others, join those ranks.
Jessica Jones is probably the best friend of Captain Marvel in the comics.
And I would love to see their friendship portrayed on screen as well.
I know what you’re thinking, if you are a fan of the Marvel Netflix series Jessica
Jones and not an avid comic book reader, what do you mean best friends?
Where was Captain Marvel in the series.
Remember Trish aka Patsy Walker?
Blonde, best friend to Jessica in the series?
Yeah, Trish was meant to be a stand in for Carol Danvers in the series.
Melissa Rosenberg actually originally planned to have Carol in the show but then the production
moved from ABC to Netflix and the series changed.
Also yeah, there are a lot of Jessica’s in the Marvel multiverse.
Although the two don’t yet appear to know each other in the MCU, how cool would be if
Jessica Jones got to move to the big screen in a run in with Carol Danvers?
Jessica Jones is probably my favourite of the Marvel shows that have aired to date and
I personally would love to see actress, Krysten Ritter join Brie Larson on the silver screen.
No, not the Captain Marvel, not Carol Danvers.
I’m talking about Monica Rambeau.
For those of you that don’t know, Monica Rambeau is has actually briefly worn the Captain
Marvel name as well.
Technically the third Captain Marvel.
After Mar-Vell and Carol comes Monica.
Also known as Spectrum, Monica is an underrated superhero who deserves to be lifted up.
What would be really cool is if she ends up being the one that Nick Fury called at the
end of Avengers Infinity War.
Not only has she been part of the anti-terrorism team Nextwave as well as joining Black Cat,
Hell Cat and Firestar in Marvel Diva’s but she also was once the leader of Avengers.
While there has been speculation that Captain Marvel will be somewhat of a prequel to Guardians
of the Galaxy this has yet to be be proven.
However in regards to the comics, Captain Marvel and the Guardian of the Galaxy have
already crossed paths.
While the MCU timelines don’t quite add up for this, it would be cool to see the cosmic
heroes join each other in an adventure on screen.
In the comics, Carol meets the Guardians after heading to space to do some soul searching.
You can read more about their brief adventures in the 2014 Captain Marvel series.
In fact, I highly recommend you do.
While most of the Guardians get along with Carol, Rocket ends up mostly just causing
her grief, after trying to murder her cat, Chewie--yes Carol brought her cat on a space
adventure--accusing it of belonging to an alien race known as Flerkens.
Which brings me to…
That’s right, Chewie is Carol’s lovable ginger cat.
Chewie has been with Carol in the comics since 2006.
One of the first appearances of Chewie involves a kind of silly incident in which Carol thinks
her cat may actually be a mutant after it begins to speak.
The cat reveals itself as Doctor Steven Strange and then confesses to Carol that she is dreaming
and needs to wake up.
Upon waking Carol rubs her cat’s belly and after she, the cat, meows, Carol calls out,
“Steven?”
Turns out it was a dream and her cat is just a normal cat.
Or rather not a cat but as Rocket Racoon later suspects, is a Flerken who also ends up laying
hundreds of eggs in her space ship.
Despite this revelation and it’s newborns, after they safely find a place for the new
kittens errr baby Flerken’s to thrive, Chewie returns to Carol’s side.
And yes Carol did name her cat after Chewbacca.
Aka Kamala Khan.
Kamala is one of Ms Marvel’s biggest fans and received her powers as a result of exposure
to Terrigen Mists.
Fun fact terrigen mists are also somewhat responsible for another favourite super hero
of mine, Black Bolt’s powers.
Kamala adopted the mantle Ms Marvel just as Carol dropped it.
Kamala is a bit of a weird kid which I think is why she is so popular among fans.
I really love her because her outlook and experiences feeling like a bit of an outsider
seem to mirror that of my own when I was growing up.
And I’m sure for a lot of other nerds out there this resonantes.
Some might even consider Kamala to be more popular than is Carol with Marvel fans.
The two have worked together in the comics and I think it would be super cute if we saw
Kamala fight alongside Carol in the MCU.
One of my favourite fights in the comic book world in the one between Moonstone and Captain
Marvel.
In the comics, this happens right in the middle of the Dark Avengers story arc, where Moonstone
is standing in as their Ms Marvel after Carol turned down the position.
What’s great about this battle is we get to see two different but equal Ms Marvel’s
duke it out.
And although they both seem very different, they both stand for very different things--they
are also somewhat similar.
They are both tough, ruthless and aren’t afraid to push themselves.
Granted seeing any members of the Dark Avengers in the MCU would be awesome but if we got
see Moonstone aka Karla Sofen and Captain Marvel, aka Carol Danvers go head to head
in the film, that would be extraordinary.
What is one of the best things about Carol Danver’s?
Her involvement with Rogue.
These two have a feud that goes way back in comic book history, back to when Rogue was
actually first introduced.
In fact without Carol, Rogue would not have a lot of the abilities that we know her to
possess today.
After a virtually disappearing in the comic book world, being abducted, brainwashed and
assaulted by the villian Marcus Immortus, we find Carol has lost both her memories and
her powers.
Of course, it turns out who is to blame but Rogue, who back then was a villain, albeit
a somewhat misled one.
Although Carol later regained new powers, not all of her memories could be restored,
leaving Carol somewhat irreparable and feeling never fully whole.
Unfortunately the rights for X-Men and Marvel being separated means we probably won’t
get to see this in the film but even a nod to Rogue would be brilliant.
She is one of my favourite X-Men and these two share such a rich, epic and turbulent
history it seems a shame to leave out.
