Carol Danvers (Earth-981)

Carol Danvers is the daughter of Joe Danvers, Sr., a former U.S. Navy officer and construction worker, as well as Mari-Ell, a champion of the Kree. Mari-Ell was then sent on a mission to the planet Earth and given an Amulet of Pam'a to hide her identity. Arriving on Earth she was blown off target and landed in Wichita, Kansas and was rescued by Joe. The two married and she later became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter, Car-Ell; "Champion" in Kree language, which they changed to "Carol" to fit in on Earth.

U.S. Air Force

She was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. She dreamed of becoming an astronaut and traveling to distant planets. She turned 18 just a few months later and joined the Air Force, intending to be a pilot and to get a college degree via the military. She quickly rose to the top of her Air Force class, taking the call sign "Warbird".

NASA

In 1995, NASA eventually requested her for an open position as head of security which she accepted, resigning from the Air Force bumping her to full Colonel at retirement. Making the youngest security captain in NASA's history. Afterwards, she worked alongside Dr. Philip Lawson in a special satellite base in Colorado. After an attack by an alien Sentry, Lawson revealed himself to be a Kree warrior/scientist known as Captain Marvel. During the battle, an explosion caught both Marvel and Danvers in the middle, causing Danvers to be exposed to the cosmic energy flowing around Mar-Vell. Carol was transferred to a hospital for recovery, where she discovered she had gained powers from her exposure. Carol and S.H.I.E.L.D. later confronted and questioned Captain Marvel on his motives behind allowing the Kree to invade Earth, and Mar-Vell told them that he wanted to help, that humans had so much potential. He stated that he believed that Carol deserved to live, before being corrected by Nick Fury that he meant the human race. S.H.I.E.L.D. and the government dedicated a quiet study on Carol and suggested that it was best for her to hide her powers from the public.

Becoming Ms. Marvel

Mar-Vell then trained Carol how to use her newfound powers in case the Kree decided to invade Earth, she would be ready. As they sparred, Mar-Vell asked Danvers about her dreams, to which she replied that she wanted to go to space and explore other worlds when she was a child and that hasn't changed since. One day, after Carol saw on the news that Flight 616 was going to crash, Carol used her full abilities to help the plane land, saving dozens of people on the plane. Deciding to become a hero, Carol confided her secret to her best friend Monica Rambeau. With Monica's help, a costume was made, and Carol was able to stop many crimes in the city of Colorado, including a bank robbery and car chase. However, she was berated by Mar-Vell and Nick Fury, who expressed their displeasure with Carol that she had revealed herself to the world and potentially grabbed the attention of the Kree. Wanting to learn more about her powers, Carol travelled back to her hometown in Kansas and visited her parents, her mother and father welcomes her back with a bare hug.

After showing them her new powers, her mother then explained the origin of her newfound powers by revealing to her that the she was half Kree, and the explosion that she was caught in might've activated her powers. Her mother was more than happy to teach her but her father however was less than thrilled, as he argued that her going out into the public showing off her new powers would attract the attention of the Kree and put their daughter at risk. He than reveals the whole reason her mother came to earth in the first place was so they could take it over. When ask if this was true, Marie agreed, the kree currently belives that Marie is dead but the existence of their daughter could give away her whereaabouts and put the entire plantet at risk. Later, a Kree warrior was sent to earth to capture Marie and Carol and attacked the Danvers' home. Marie was was impaled by a spear thrown from a Kree assassin known as Tanalth the Pursuer when she was trying to protect her, Carol took her mother's body into space, away from Tanalth, where Marie died from her fatal injury in Carol's arms. Carol then arrives back in kanas to check on her father and abraced him with tears.

Later in her apartment, Monica was comforting the guilt ridden Carol as she mourned her mother's death. She blamed herself for all of it and if she hadn't tried to play hero, and been careless with her powers, she could've still been alive. Afterwards she was surprised to see Monica walk away with a blank stare, and joined hundreds of other people marching blankly down the street, all under the control of the Kree's super weapon called "Myraid". Carol as Ms. Marvel flies around the city of Denver as she notices Kree ships hovering above the city and are taking the mind controlled humans captive, including Monica. She notices everyone, are now under the Myriad effect. Carol tries to get in contact with S.H.I.E.L.D. and Captain Mar-Vell for help but they're both aren't responding. She then sees one of the Kree ships land on the ground and sees Mar-Vell walking out of the ship with his commander Yon-Rogg, and other Kree troops. The enraged Carol questioned Captain Mar-vell's motives behind allowing the Kree to invade her planet, as she had thought all the time he was in space he was fighting for the rights of the planet. It was only then she realizes that Mar-Vell was under the Myriad effect as well!

Yon-Rogg then explained to Carol that they're invading Earth to test humanity that if they're worthy to join the Kree empire, if not humanity will be destroyed. After Carol refuses Yon-Rogg's offer to join their Empire, Yon-Rogg ordered Mar-Vell to kill Carol. Carol and Mar-Vell battled as she kept trying to find a way to reach him. Their fighting spilled into the streets of Denver. Carol was almost killed by Mar-Vell but just in a nick of time, Fury and Hill arrived and used a device of flashing multicolored lights to stop Mar-Vell, freeing him of his mind control.

Showdown with the Kree

When Ronan the Accuser arrived, Danvers sprung to action and flew into the air to stop an incoming barrage of ballistic missiles while Mar-Vell was recuperating. Danvers then launched herself at one and halted it in midair before throwing back into the barrage, causing them to harmlessly detonate in midair. Danvers and Mar-Vell then flew into space to dispatch Ronan's fleet, utilizing they're empowered photon blasts to destroy his ships with one strike. The pair then led an assault on Yon-Rogg's capital ship stationed in Earth orbit, destroying it and rescuing the humans taken aboard by it while S.H.I.E.L.D. on the other hand worked on a counter signal to Myriad. Ms. Marvel and Captain Mar-Vell both engaged Yon-Rogg and Tanalth the Pursuer in battle. They both proved to be very formidable opponents but both the heroes were able to outmatch them fortunately and Carol went to a brodcasting station and successfully broke Myriad's control over the people of Denver. Seeing this impressive feat of power, Ronan and his fleet fled, but not before remarking that he would be back for Danvers, referring to her as a "weapon." After the battle, both Yon-Rogg and Tanalth were imprisoned in Area 42 by S.H.I.E.L.D. Danvers was later tasked as second-in-command to the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Extra-Terrestrial Division known as S.W.O.R.D. Mar-vell revealed that while he was under Myriad's mind control, he convinced the Supreme Intelligence that Earth is a scientific and technological anomaly and must be studied but now Earth is a threat to the Kree and his people will come back with full force, which Ms. Marvel replied "We'll be waiting then."

"More to be added!"
