History Comicbook / MsMarvel

** Her being "fat" (despite having a perfect physique).

* ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'' A guest star in season 3. Both Carol and Kamala join the team in season 4.

** Her being "fat" (despite having more or less a perfect physique).

* AmazonianBeauty: Although her physique varies DependingOnTheArtist, she is a big woman who has large strong muscles, ripped broad shoulders, a very muscular yet voluptuous build for her body, and standing in at 5'11" and over 160 lbs. Frank Cho in particular makes her look like [[Franchise/StreetFighter Cammy]]. Her newer titles have her looking less overtly curvy, and far more muscular, than before.

** Played with in the ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' animated television program. She and Captain Mar-Vell are introduced in the same episode. Most of the first half has her taking the guest star spotlight, before she acquires her powers, while the second half heavily features Captain Mar-Vell (although one inspired by his ComicBook/UltimateMarvel portrayal). In the next season, Carol (with powers) and Mar-Vell return, but Carol is given more prominence, especially after joining the Avengers.

* BareYourMidriff: Her original, Mar-Vell-style uniform (which was also worn by the copycats assigned by ComicBook/NormanOsborn).

* MostCommonSuperpower: Carol Danvers was never exactly under-endowed. (Perhaps this was why one of her incarnations was ''really'' called "Binary".)

* ShesGotLegs: Boy, does she know how to use 'em. Carol's long muscular legs are usually highlighted through her original costumes that she wore during the times that she was Ms. Marvel (which were pant-less and {{Stripperiffic}}) and the tights of the current form-fitting outfit that she wears as Captain Marvel.

* TakeThat: The first issue of the 70's series had a citizen claim that Ms. Marvel made Creator/LyndaCarter (the actress who played Franchise/WonderWoman in the [[Series/WonderWoman eponymous TV series]]) "look like [[ComicStrip/{{Popeye}} Olive]] [[NoodlePeople Oyl]]".

* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: After Rogue's attack, Carol went to Professor Xavier to help mentally recover, and bonded with the X-Men during her stay as their guest and assisted them on a few missions. After gaining new powers by way of the Brood, she was going to join the team as Binary (she wouldn't have been the first non-mutant to do so)...but then Rogue came begging Xavier to help her deal with the psyches she had absorbed (especially Charol's). Xavier agreed to do so, causing Carol to leave the mansion in protest.

* AmazonianBeauty: Although her physique varies DependingOnTheArtist, she is a big woman who has large strong muscles, ripped broad shoulders, a very muscular yet voluptuous build for her body, and standing in at 5'11" and over 160 lbs. Frank Cho in particular makes her look like [[Franchise/StreetFighter Cammy]].

In 2019, Carol will make her Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse debut in her solo movie ''Film/CaptainMarvel'', played by Creator/BrieLarson.

* KickTheDog: Separating [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Julia Carpenter]] from her daughter just because she's a defector of the Pro-Registration side who was a spy for [[ComicBook/CaptainAmerica Steve Rogers]]? There were many crimes committed by both sides against the other, but that is just... well... ''low''.

* OlderThanSheLooks: According to the ''Logan: Shadow Society'' graphic novel, she was already an adult government agent when Angel of the ''Comicbook/XMen'' was still a little boy. This would likely put her in her mid to late 40's at the youngest, yet she is rarely drawn any older than the other adult heroines published by Marvel.
** Finally given a nod in the Alien Nation storyline. When a young adult scientist tries to flirt with her, she shuts him down. Nearly gets out the old "I am old enough to be your mother" line.

* RoguesGallery: Carol has had a varied one; Mystique (her original ArchEnemy before she got [[RoguesGalleryTransplat transplanted]] to the Comicbook/XMen, Deathbird (more known as an X-Men villain nowadays), the Brood alien race (more known as X-Villains, sense a trend?), the Skrulls, Moonstone, Toxie Doxie, Grace Valentine, and Yon-Rogg. Newer additions since becoming a cosmic hero include Hala the Accuser and Dr. Eve.

In July 2012, Carol got a new uniform and hairstyle (which varies depending on the artist interpretation on how her hair fits with the collapsible face mask/cowl), changed her name from Ms. Marvel to [[ComicBook/CaptainMarVell Captain Marvel]], and got a new ongoing book under that name, written by [[Creator/KellySueDeConnick Kelly Sue DeConnick]]. Even though Carol Danvers had been depicted as a feminist superhero since the 1970s, [=DeConnick=] was the first woman to become a regular writer of her series. As of that run, Carol has been envisioned as the link between Marvel's Earth-based heroes and the Marvel cosmic universe, even briefly being a member of the Comicbook/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy.

* Ambadassador: As Captain Marvel, she's both a superhero and "Ambassador Extraordinary" for the human race.

* BadassNormal: Even before becoming Ms. Marvel, Carol could still hold her own, being an experienced and highly decorated Air Force officer. Taken even further in ComicBook/UltimateMarvel, where Carol is ''still'' a military woman and never gained powers nor became Ms. Marvel (but as an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. she gets to be S.H.I.E.L.D. Director for a while).

She later joined ComicBook/TheAvengers but decided to quit after an incident which caused her to [[FetusTerrible become pregnant by an adult version of her baby]]. Later, ComicBook/{{Rogue}} (at the time a villain under Mystique) ambushed her. After a grueling battle, Rogue absorbed Ms. Marvel's powers AND memories, then [[LeftForDead threw her off below the Golden Gate bridge, leaving her to die.]] Fortunately, [[ComicBook/SpiderWoman Spider Woman/Jessica Drew]] [[BigDamnHeroes was around at that time and rescued Carol]] and sent her to the X-Mansion for treatment courtesy of Professor Xavier. After she sort of recovered (she regained her memory, but not her powers or emotions), Carol chose to stay with the ComicBook/{{X-Men}} for a while.

* DistaffCounterpart: Captain Marvel's, naturally. In the probably-not-canon "[[ComicBook/TheSentry Age of the Sentry]]" mini-series, she was also shown becoming the Sentress.

* AmazonianBeauty: Although her physique varies DependingOnTheArtist, she is a big woman who has large strong muscles, ripped broad shoulders, a very muscular yet voluptuous build for her body, and standing in at 5'11" and over 160 lbs. Frank Cho in particular makes her look like [[Franchise/StreetFighter Cammie]].
