28----
29* ForgottenFallenFriend: Sort of. Number of times Carol has mentioned him in the last couple of decades; about 4. And most of those were in an arc of the ''Ms Marvel'' in the late 00s, relating to pre-powers business, and he promptly vanished at the end of the arc.
30* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: During a brief cameo in an issue of ''Uncanny X-Men'' (not coincidentally, when Chris Claremont was still the writer of ''Ms. Marvel''), he meets with Stephen Lang, the very unstable head of Project: Armageddon and tells him his ideas are completely nuts, and vows to stop him.

65!!!'''Alter Ego:''' Jessica Miriam Drew
66!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Marvel Spotlight'' Vol. 1, #32
67
68When Jessica was little, she was infected with uranium radiation and was in danger of dying. Her father used an experimental spider serum to save her, and put her in a tube to accelerate the serum's growth, saving her life but aging her rather rapidly to the point that [[YoungerThanTheyLook she looks, and acts, much older than she is]]. She was raised in Wundagore by the cow-woman Lady Bova, eventually left to make her way in the human world, fell in love... then accidentally killed her first love with her latent superpower: bio-electric blasts. Accused of being a witch, Jessica fled Wundagore and was taken to [[Characters/MarvelComicsHydra HYDRA]], tricked into thinking that it was a good place for refugees, even though it's actually a terrorist group. She was trained in martial arts and learned to harness her powers more effectively. These include the discovery of her other powers such as Wall Climbing and Pheromones, which attract men and women. Oh, and she was given her codename, first Arachne, but quickly changed to Spider-Woman.
69
70On her first mission to assassinate ComicBook/NickFury, Jessica came to realize that HYDRA was wrong, so she rebelled and was left on her own to cope with her power and with her daily life. It was tough, but eventually she managed to overcome her problems, especially after the {{Crossover}} with Spider-Man, who advised her to use her power for good; she later became a {{bounty hunter}} and a private detective.

81----
82* CoolOldLady: She goes snark for snark with Carol pretty much every single panel.
83* DeadpanSnarker: She's almost exclusively in SarcasmMode, usually at Carol's expense.

87[[folder:Joe Danvers]]
88!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Ms. Marvel'' vol 1 #13
89
90Carol Danvers's father, a former airman and construction worker whose views on women bring him into conflict with his daughter.
91----
92* AbusiveParents: Treated Carol like garbage, thinking she, as a girl, was fit only for finding a nice young man who'd "look after her" and produce little baby Danverses. He was also physically abusive, Carol recalling he once "whaled the tar" out of her for sneaking out of the house.
93* BenevolentBoss: One of the few good things you could say about Joe, he will risk his life to save his employees.
94* FantasyForbiddingParent: Refused to let Carol go into higher education, despite being far more capable than her brothers. So she left home.
95* HiddenDepths: It's revealed in ''The Life of Captain Marvel'' that at least part of his attitude towards Carol is because he's utterly terrified of her catching the attention of his wife's Kree superiors. This... doesn't exactly make his behaviour better, or make Carol any fonder of him, but it does make him a more three-dimensional character.
96* SkewedPriorities: Insists Ms. Marvel not save him because he can't live with the notion a "frail" saved his life, even trying to run back to fight the supervillain who was one minute from killing him. Carol has to sock him unconscious to get him out of there.
97* UngratefulBastard: Such an astoundingly sexist pig he can't even say thanks when Ms. Marvel saves him from dying.

102!!Marie Danvers / Mari-Ell
103!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Ms. Marvel'' vol 1 #13
104
105Carol Danvers's mother. Eventually revealed to secretly be a former Kree soldier.
106----
107* GoodStepmother: ''The Life of Captain Marvel'' reveals that she's this to Carol's older half-brothers, who consider her their mother.
108* MamaBear: Don't threaten her children. Just don't. Or she will reveal that yes, she really is an elite Kree warrior.
109* ParentsAsPeople: She had a complicated relationship with Carol, mainly related to issues with her father, but there's no denying she loved her dearly, and they got on towards the end of her life.
110* ParentsKnowTheirChildren: Is able to recognize that Ms. Marvel is her daughter at a glance, where Joe couldn't, though it's explained that some of this is also because Joe won't recognize Carol acting outside his opinion of what a woman ''should'' act like.
111* {{Retcon}}: For forty years, there was no indication that Carol's mom was nothing more than an ordinary human woman. Then ''The Life of Carol Danvers'' comes along, and suddenly she's a deep-cover Kree agent. Oh, and Carol's siblings aren't biologically her kids, but Joe's from a marriage before they met.

117!!!'''First Appearance:''' ''Captain Marvel'' Vol. 10, #18
118
119The artificially gestated half sister of Carol Danvers.
120----
121* AmazonianBeauty: She shares some of Carol's facial features, but holy crap she's buff. Carol's a big girl, but when she tries some of her tops while on Earth, she tears them because of her muscles. Even Jessica Drew can't help but comment on the size of her biceps.
122* ArtificialHuman: While Lauri-Ell isn't human, she was created in a Kree lab using the DNA from Carol's mother Mari-Ell and an unknown male Kree soldier.
123* BigSisterInstinct: While it's not clear if she's older or younger than Carol (Carol implies she's younger), she sure is bigger and was ready to break a few bones when Abigail Brand slapped Carol for keeping Alpha Flight out of the loop concerning the Cotati.
124* EndearinglyDorky: For a genetically engineered Kree soldier, she's surprisingly endearing during her stay on Earth. It helps that as she explains, she's a superb soldier, but she doesn't actually like it very much.
125* FishOutOfWater: She's been a soldier for most likely all her life, so when she arrives to Carol's apartment, she finds many things confusing.
126* HeroWorship: She has some towards her mother and her older half-sister, idolising both, though it settles into a more normal sibling relationship and a desire to connect to a family she's never known.
127* KindHeartedCatLover: She quickly bonds with Carol's pet cat/Flerken Chewie shortly after arriving to Earth.
128* LegacyCharacter: She becomes the new Accuser of the united Kree-Skrull Empire after ''Empyre'' once Carol resigns and she's shown to be ''very'' apt with the Universal Weapon.
129* LongLostRelative: Until she mentioned who her mother was, Carol had no idea she had a half-sister.
130* MartialPacifist: Sweet, fairly mild-mannered, really does not like war. Also a Kree SuperSoldier and astoundingly good at it when required to be.
131* ReluctantWarrior: She's a Kree SuperSoldier, but she doesn't actually like fighting very much.
132* SiblingTeam: She and Carol prove themselves very good at working together.
133* SuperSoldier: By Kree standards, having been engineered for the purpose. She's very, very good at war, but she hates it.
