Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Captain Marvel is the name of several fictional superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Most of these versions exist in Marvel's main shared universe, known as the Marvel Universe.As seen in the Captain Marvel article, that name has been applied to various characters in American Comic Book history. This article is about the ones created by Marvel Comics.During the 1960s, writer Stan Lee noticed that the name's trademark from the Fawcett Comics character was available again, and decided that Marvel should own it (Marvel Comics, Captain Marvel... makes sense, right?). So he created a new superhero named that, one quite different from the previous ones. The new character first appeared in "Marvel Super-Heroes" #12 (December, 1967). Given the value of the name to DC and the utter obscurity of the Marvel version of the character (at least nowadays; he was big back in the 70's), you'd think Marvel would cash in and make a mint selling the name back to DC at an enormous profit... except for the fact that he's called "Captain Marvel" and they're called "Marvel Comics" and you just can't let that kind of synchronicity slip away from you.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })This "Captain Marvel" was an alien (from the Kree, a race that looked exactly like humans except that most of them are blue.) His name actually was Mar-Vell and he was a captain in the Kree army. He came to Earth as part of mission to investigate Earth's space technology achievements (later justified by saying that Earth was located near a strategically important space warp.) Mar-Vell is sent to Earth while being monitored from orbit by the rest of his crew, which included his girlfriend Una and his superior, Colonel Yon-Rogg. Mar-Vell discovers he's the exact lookalike of an American senator, who has just been murdered, so he takes over his identity to further his mission.However, it turns out that Yon-Rogg secretly hated Mar-Vell, mostly because he wanted Una for himself. So he tries to have Mar-Vell killed. This forces Marvel (who has Super Strength due to coming from a planet with higher gravity) to fight openly while wearing his Kree uniform, which caused people to mistake him for a new superhero called "Captain Marvel". He also became a target of a larger power struggle within the Kree government.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })The betrayal from his own people (and the eventual death of Una) leads Mar-Vell to adopt Earth (and the name Captain Marvel) as his own. He had a brief relationship with Carol Danvers, a NASA security agent, who later becomes a superhero herself (and eventually takes on the mantle of Captain Marvel). He gains new powers from an Earth scientist, and later, from The Supreme Intelligence, a supercomputer who is the Kree's true ruler. He also gained his more famous, red-and-blue costume from it.For a period of time, Marvel found himself accidentally "merged" with teenage singer Rick Jones (the same kid who was involved in the Incredible Hulk's origin) so that only one of them could exist in the universe, with the other one stuck in the dimension called the Negative Zone until the one on Earth struck together his "nega-band" bracelets, causing them to switch places. (Writer Roy Thomas has admitted that this was done as a nod to the original Captain Marvel, who was a child who could turn into an adult superhero.) It was later revealed that this was The Plan of the Supreme Intelligence, who was really a Magnificent Bastard whose ultimate goal was to jumpstart the evolutionary potential of the Kree race via Rick Jones's genes. Eventually, Marvel finds a way to bring back Rick from the Zone and they resume their lives.The "Captain Marvel" magazine lasted for 62 issues (May, 1968-May, 1979). Tragically, Marvel didn't live long after his series was cancelled. In a very rare case of a comic book character being Killed Off for Real, he died from a cancer he got from exposure to nerve gas during one of his adventures. His death was covered The Death Of Captain Marvel (Marvel Graphic Novel #1, April 1982, written and illustrated by Jim Starlin), and Mar-Vell's death is universally considered one of the most touching, well-written and dignified in the history of comics.Despite his death having occurred over thirty years ago and him unusually staying dead (save for a brief return during Avengers vs. X-Men), he and his legacy still exert a powerful influence on the Marvel Universe today. His children Phyla-Vell, Genis-Vell, and Hulkling remain prominent supporting players.And in an age when Jean Grey, Bucky Barnes, Gwen Stacy (sorta) and even Mar-Vell's enemy Thanos have all returned from the dead (and that's only sticking with examples within Marvel), Mar-Vell is still usually considered the last great symbol of death meaning something in comics. (Aside from Uncle Ben.) There have been a handful of stories where it seems like Mar-Vell has somehow returned to life, only for it to be revealed to be some kind of fake-out.The Ultimate Galactus Trilogy, set in the Ultimate Marvel universe, featured an adaptation of Mar-Vell and the Kree that look more like Starfish Aliens than Human Aliens. The new design proved popular enough that it was also used in the animated series The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes!.Mar-Vell appears in the 2019 film Captain Marvel — which features Carol Danvers in the title role, not Mar-Vell — albeit with some significant changes. | |

Aborted Arc: Before it was decided that the mysterious Captain Marvel who had been glimpsed during Civil War was the "returned" Mar-Vell (see Back from the Dead below), it was intended to be the recently introduced character Gravity, who had somehow been given the costume and the role of Earth's protector. One can only assume it would have eventually been revealed just who gave Gravity the costume and the job. | |

Death Is Cheap: Notably averted, as Mar-Vell is pretty much the only major Marvel superhero who died and has never been resurrected. This is because everyone seems to agree it would be distasteful to reverse a memorable, touching, and realistically (for superhero comics) depicted cancer death. | |

Love Hurts: Mar-Vell lost his first love Una due to his own recklessness, and while he and Carol Danvers had a mutual attraction they were never really able to hash things out between them. He eventually found a new love in the Titan Elysium, to the point he semi-retired to the moon of Titan to be with her and they discussed having children. The cancer would put an end to those plans. | |

Worthy Opponent | |
| Captain Marvel (Marvel) (Comic Book) / int_4604fd4d | comment |
Worthy Opponent: This is part of the reason Earth became a battlefield between various spacefaring empires. Mar-Vell was sent as part of a team to investigate Earth after the defeats of both a Skrull Sentry and Ronan the Accuser at the hands of the Fantastic Four. The Skrull Empire wondered why such a valiant and decorated war hero would be sent to such a backwards world and decided to investigate by sending in the Super-Skrull. After Mar-Vell defeated the Super-Skrull, the Skrull Empire decided that if the Kree Empire sent someone of Mar-Vell's stature to protect Earth, it must be valuable. Later on, the news of Captain Mar-Vell's impending death due to cancer was described as causing mixed feelings among the Skrulls, their happiness at his death being tempered with disappointment and sadness that so great a warrior would die in a sickbed instead of in battle (ideally with the Skrulls themselves). The Skrull Empire eventually sent one of their top generals to visit Mar-Vell and present him with the highest decoration of the Skrull Empire, praising him for his courage and skill before wishing him a swift death and great rewards in the afterlife. Thanos considered Captain Mar-Vell to be this, to the point that he decided to welcome Mar-Vell into death's embrace personally. Later on during the Infinity War, he described Quasar (who had inherited Mar-Vell's role of protector of the universe) as a poor replacement to Mar-Vell. During one of his other brushes with ultimate power Thanos even briefly resurrected Mar-Vell to speak to him, and after the conversation when Mar-Vell asked to be allowed to return to his rest Thanos let him go. | |

Rated M for Manly: Genis-Vell more than qualifies. Musclebound and square-jawed with a crewcut, Genis is the only Captain Marvel thus far that has slept with women all across the galaxy. Helps that he's got a lot of swagger and charisma. This image◊ really sells that. | |

Downer Ending | |
| Captain Marvel (Marvel) (Comic Book) / int_4e3d253b | comment |
Downer Ending: Genis-Vell ends his adventure by experiencing an extreme bout of madness twice, has the whole galaxy hate and fear him, suffers torture at the hands of his family to pacify him by beating him and nearly tearing his limbs off, goes to see a future that only becomes more and more dystopian, watches his own future son get corrupted by The Magus who goes on to slaughter 5 star systems and threatened the whole galaxy to free his master, forced himself to erase his son in the timeline by promising to smother his son in the crib, watches Rick and Marlo leave him behind and later dies himself via interdimensional dismemberment due to meddling from Helmut Zemo that causes him to become a threat to the universe with few mourning his passing or remembering him at all. The only bright spot is Eulogy being proven wrong that Genis’ fans didn’t want or need him anymore when the phone rings for Genis after he had left, implying there’s people who still want Genis even after his adventure is over. | |

Fantastic Racism: Most Kree are blue-skinned, but some like Mar-Vell have pink skin (i.e., like that of northern Europeans) and are treated as inferior by the blue-skinned Kree. The extent to which this applies to Mar-Vell (and his status as a hero or a traitor to the Kree) depends on the writer. | |

Mid-Season Upgrade: Mar-Vell receiving the Cosmic Awareness from Eon during the battle against Thanos. Before that, he received his more well-known blue and red uniform (previously having worn his Kree military uniform) from the Kree Supreme Intelligence as a reward for his help in thwarting a coup. | |

My Greatest Failure | |
| Captain Marvel (Marvel) (Comic Book) / int_6ee10e0 | comment |
My Greatest Failure: Mar-Vell never really forgave himself for Una's death, even when he found new loves. Part of this is because during the battle that eventually claimed her life she was badly wounded in the crossfire between the Kree under Colonel Yon-Rogg and a force of alien enemies Yon-Rogg lured in to kill Mar-Vell for him. An enraged Mar-Vell directly attacked Yon-Rogg before coming to his senses and desperately taking Una off the field, to the point he stole a rocket from the Earthlings who'd come to see him as a hero. Alas, she succumbed to her wounds en route to their orbiting spaceship where the advanced healing tech could've saved her. Mar-Vell would often wonder if he could've saved her if he hadn't been so blinded by rage. | |

Reed Richards Is Useless: A variant: Rick Jones comes to Reed and the other superintelligent superheroes of the era and asks them to use their great minds to cure Mar-Vell's cancer. They come to the uncomfortable realization that they could have been doing that for everyone in the world the entire time. However, when their efforts fail to bear fruit in time to save Mar-Vell, they just stop trying. Nevermind that other people might be helped in the future, nope, it was "save Mar" or nothing. | |

Hoist by His Own Petard: Mar-Vell's nega bands, which granted him many of his powers, also included a healing factor that kept the cancer that would eventually kill him in check. Unfortunately, the cancer eventually mutated to the point where the nega bands could no longer stop it, and made Mar-Vell reliant on them to the point he would die in a matter of hours without them. Worse, the mutated cancer was now linked to the nega bands, meaning that a cure would not only have to overcome the cancer itself but the bands as well. Unfortunately that led to Mar-Vell's death. | |

I Have Many Names | |
| Captain Marvel (Marvel) (Comic Book) / int_d5d976dd | comment |
I Have Many Names: Multiple: Common trait among those that take 'Marvel' in their title, outside of the original Mar-Vell himself, is that they will eventually have to change their alias at some point. Monica Rambeau's been hit with this so many times it's a running gag. She lost the Captain Marvel moniker to Genis-Vell, and took the name Photon. Then Genis-Vell changed his name to Photon, having forgotten that Monica was using it; so she changed her name to Pulsar. In at least one storyline she just went by Monica, but has since adopted the name Spectrum. | |

Spider-Sense: Cosmic Awareness, once appointed Protector of the Universe, Mar-Vell seemed to control it well enough that whenever universal threats or changes occurred that related to him he could but perceive them. When Genis took the power on it drove him crazy because he couldn't fully control it and kept getting more information then he needed on possible outcomes. | |
