In 2006, Carol got her book again as Ms. Marvel, all 50 issues written by Brian Reed, with a new goal of becoming one of the world's best heroes. She became involved in various events, including ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' and ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', before she got another book in 2012 and a new name: ''Captain Marvel'', written by Creator/KellySueDeConnick (the first female writer for Carol's solo book). Carol is reinvented as a cosmic superhero and subsequently becomes a member of the ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy and then the leader of ComicBook/AlphaFlight.

The book and the character became widely popular, with Kamala joining the ComicBook/AllNewAllDifferentAvengers and then, after ''ComicBook/CivilWarII'', she forms a new version of the ComicBook/{{Champions|2016}}. A different version of her from an alternate future, who only goes by "Khan," is a member of the reality-hopping ComicBook/{{Exiles}}.

During the ComicBook/HeroicAge, Karla is again recruited to the Thunderbolts, this time by ComicBook/LukeCage. She escapes with several other inmates and finds herself flung through time. Returning to the present, she is eventually imprisoned in [[ComicBook/AvengersStandoff Pleasant Hill]] and then is recruited into the Winter Soldier's Thunderbolts, before defecting (again) to the Masters of Evil.

''' Ms. Marvel''' is a Creator/MarvelComics superhero originally created as a DistaffCounterpart to ComicBook/{{Captain Marvel|MarvelComics}}. After the original Ms. Marvel, [[Characters/MarvelComicsCarolDanvers Carol Danvers]], changed her code-name, there have been a number of other characters who have taken on the name of Ms. Marvel, most notably [[Characters/MarvelComicsKamalaKhan Kamala Khan]].

''The'' '''original''' Ms. Marvel, Carol Danvers first appeared in ''Marvel Super-Heroes'' #13 (March 1968) as an Air Force officer who befriended (and then became a temporary love interest to) [[Characters/MarvelComicsMarvels Captain Mar-Vell]]. During one of his missions to stop his arch-enemy Yon-Rogg, she is caught in the explosion of a device called a Psyche-Magnetron. Years later, it is revealed that this incident merged her DNA with Mar-Vell and gave her superpowers.

In 2006, Carol got her own book again as Ms. Marvel, all 50 issues written by Brian Reed, with a new goal of becoming one of the world's best heroes. She became involved in various events, including ''ComicBook/CivilWar'' and ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion'', before she got another book in 2012 and a new name: ''Captain Marvel'', written by Creator/KellySueDeConnick (the first female writer for Carol's solo book). Carol is reinvented as a cosmic superhero and subsequently becomes a member of the ComicBook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy and then the leader of ComicBook/AlphaFlight.

Unfortunately, due to being bombarded with cosmic rays, Sharon's body begins to mutate again, this time into a form similar looking to the Thing. At this point, she joins the Fantastic Four, calling herself She-Thing. Dr. Doom is able to cure her and she spies on the FF for him, but when she betrays Doom, he reverses the cure, causing her to further mutate and become mentally unstable. She becomes a member of the new Frightful Four, but abandons them, eventually ending up in jail and then gets out, returning to the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation, having been cured again (or learning how to shift back and forth between Ms. Marvel and She-Thing forms).

Moonstone then goes on to become a dangerous supervillain, even joining the Masters of Evil. When the Masters of Evil became the Thunderbolts, she changes her name to Meteorite so that nobody would know who she is, but the team is eventually revealed and she is pardoned for her past crimes, even becoming romantically involved with Hawkeye, the new leader of the team. During a fight between the Thunderbolts and the Avengers, however, she is rendered comatose, but eventually came out of it and joined Norman Osborn's new Thunderbolts as both a both member and the team psychiatrist.

During the ComicBook/HeroicAge, Karla is again recruited to the Thunderbolts, this time by ComicBook/LukeCage. She escapes with several other inmates and find herself flung through time. Returning back to the present, she is eventually imprisoned in [[ComicBook/AvengersStandoff Pleasant Hill]] and then is recruited into the Winter Soldier's Thunderbolts, before defecting (again) to the Masters of Evil.

Dr. Deidre Wentworth is a superpowered misandrist who originally opposed Captain America with the Femizons, and later went on to join Norman Osborn's second iteration of the ComicBook/DarkAvengers as Ms. Marvel.

Kamala is a nerdy, teenage girl from a Pakistani-American family living in Jersey City. She got her own book in 2014, which detailed her origin: after sneaking out one night to go to a party, she is exposed to the Terrigen Mists and gained the power of [[VoluntaryShapeshifting shapeshifting]] (primarily expressed by "embiggening" parts of her body, [[TheRightHandOfDoom including her fists]]) and a HealingFactor. Since she is such a huge fan of Carol Danvers and Carol had recently abandoned the name of "Ms. Marvel", Kamala took it as her own. Joined by her best friend Bruno, and eventually a whole ensemble of their friends at Coles Academic High School, she protects Jersey City from such supervillains as the Inventor (a clone of Thomas Edison mixed with a bird), Kamran (her crush turned Inhuman criminal), and Becky St. Jude a.k.a. Lockdown (a fellow Carol Danvers fan bent on supplanting Kamala as Jersey City's protector by some questionable means).

For tropes associated with Kamala, see: Characters/MarvelComicsKamalaKhan.

* ActionGirl: Most definitely. They are all women who kick a lot of ass.
* AmazonianBeauty: Carol, Sharon, and Karla qualify as this, being drawn as muscular while accompanied by tropes which emphasize attractiveness and/or {{Fanservice}}. Kamala not so much, due to a) being underage and b) having a [[RubberMan decidedly non-sexy power set]] (although, that can also [[DependingOnTheArtist depend on the artist]]).

* OlderThanSheLooks: In ''Ms Marvel'' Vol. 2 #21, [[ComicBook/BeastMarvelComics Hank "The Beast" McCoy]] says that Carol is functionally immortal, stating that her regenerative powers will keep her in her prime "forever".

Years later, it is revealed that this incident merged her DNA with Mar-Vell and gave her superpowers.

After her book was cancelled, she continued to show up as a member of the Avengers. Unfortunately, this also resulted in one of the most infamous storylines of all time: ''Avengers'' #200, where Carol becomes pregnant with an extra-dimensional alien named Marcus who fell in love with her and then ''brainwashed her'', and so she leaves with him, ''with the blessing of the Avengers''. Needless to say, fans and other writers ''hated'' this story and Chris Claremont was quick to retcon it in ''Avengers Annual'' #10, which also had Rogue showing up to battle Ms. Marvel and then absorb all her memories and powers.

Sharon Ventura is a stunt-woman, wrestler, and member of the Fantastic Four ''and'' Frightful Four. She first appeared in ''Thing'' #27 (September 1985) as a motorcycle stunt-woman whom Ben Grimm befriended. Sharon eventually joined the Unlimited Class Wrestling Federation after gaining powers from the Power Broker and at this point, she called her Ms. Marvel.

* LegacyCharacter: Carol became a legacy character when she changed her code-name to [[ComicBook/CaptainMarVell Captain Marvel]]. The others are legacies of her, though Carol only specifically passed the torch to Kamala. Carol and Sharon never met, and Karla used the costume and name for evil purposes.

Carol received her first solo book in 1977. At the time, using the term "Ms" was a deliberate attempt to be feminist and Carol's character is portrayed very much as one (even if the comic did have [[FairForItsDay various missteps]]).

In 2006, Carol got her own book again as Ms. Marvel, all 50 issues written by Brian Reed, with a new goal of becoming one of the world's best heroes.

When Norman Osborn is appointed Secretary of Defense and decided to make his own [[ComicBook/DarkAvengers dark Avengers team]], he recruits Karla to pretend to be Ms. Marvel, even wearing one of Carol's old costumes. After ComicBook/{{Siege}}, however, she is arrested along with the rest of Osborn's Avengers.
