"Ms Marvel"-The Human / Kree Hybrid Superheroine ( 70's-Volume #1 Era )

Carol Danvers (who would become 'Ms Marvel') made her first appearance in a 'Captain Marvel' adventure ("Marvel Super-Heroes"#13-Mar. 1968). She was created by Roy Thomas (writer) and Gene Colan (artist). Carol was a U.S. Air Force Security officer, who met Dr. Walter Lawson (who incidentally was secretly 'Captain Marvel' of the alien race known as the 'Kree'), during her first adventure. In a later story, Carol is kidnapped by Kree villain  Yon-Rogg. As Captain Marvel arrives to rescue her, Carol is injured in an explosion of of a Kree device called Psyche-Magnetron (which, as it is revealed in "Ms Marvel"#1-Jan. 1977; causes her genes to mix with those of Captain Marvel; making her a human / Kree hybrid, with the same powers as Captain Marvel has)!!!

In "Ms Marvel"#1, Carol donned a red & blue costume, similar to that of Captain Marvel. Her powers included---superhuman strength, speed, stamina & durability; ability to fire energy bursts; ability to absorb forms of energy; and the ability to fly. The series was blessed such great writers as Gerry Conway & Chris Clairmont. The artistry chores were handled by fantastic artists like---John Romita Sr. (cover artist); John Buscema; Jim Mooney; Keith Pollard; Sal Buscema; Carmine Infantino (classic 'Flash' artist for DC);Dave Cockrum; & Mike Vosberg. The 1st series lasted from 1977-1979.

Ms Marvel has been on board for many adventures with The Avengers & The Defenders. She has also teamed individually with Spider-Man, The Thing, and Iron Man.

TV Animation appearances have included---"X-Men" (A Rogue's Tale); "The Super Hero Squad Show"; "The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes" (episode #459); and "Ultimate Spider-Man" (Flight of the Iron Spider).

Marvel announced that they had a finished script (in May 2013) for a "Ms Marvel" feature film.

In later years, Ms Marvel has had a variety of other aliases, such as---"Binary";"Warbird"; & "Captain Marvel"!!!

For what started as a spin-off series, Ms Marvel has found a definite place in comic book history!!!
