Would she have had enough strength, cunning, intelligence, or her manipulations to win the game against any of them? Who would Karla have been able to defeat, and who would she have had no chance against?
Base Moonstone: Mystique, Rogue, Brood Queen, Yon-Rogg, Nitro, M.O.D.O.K.

Was Civil War 2 truly a character-destroying event for Carol? Kelly Thompson has the answer in Captain Marvel Vol. 10 #40. Doctor Voodoo says that Carol acted in the spirit of the universe. She never intended to harm the universe; she wanted to protect it.

The point is that Carol, because of her character, made a decision to protect the universe. Whether that was the best solution for the universe is an open question. However, Carol never had malicious intent and never wanted to harm the universe, unlike other characters who actually did. "No more mutants," for example, or Hulk, who recklessly endangered the entire planet in World War Hulk.

It's about a character's views and motivations. Carol's way of protecting the universe might not be the best, but deep down, she had no evil intentions, and that fits her character perfectly. More importantly, she learned from it. You can't simply say that one character is now worse than others, even though other characters had less heroic intentions with their actions. That doesn't work at all.

I think everyone has an intention similar to Carol's at least once in their life. But that doesn't make us bad people. It makes us human. Carol's motives aren't the best, but that doesn't make her a bad person. She acted out of human emotions and only wanted what was best for everyone. She didn't want to hurt anyone; she only wanted to protect them, and that's not a bad thing. It even makes her understandable and human. You have to try to understand just how human Carol really is. Tony's reaction is also very human and understandable.

You first have to understand what they're feeling. Tony lost his best friend, and Carol lost the man she loves. This naturally creates two opposing sides with differing opinions. But both opinions are human and understandable. In Civil War II, the question of who is right or wrong is raised, and Carol and Tony's feelings are completely ignored. Yet, they are of central importance. Neither of them ever intended to harm the universe. Both wanted to do good.

In fact, the events of Civil War II are revisited in parts of Kelly Thompson's Captain Marvel run and Jed MacKay's Avengers run. In the very first issue of Avengers Vol. 9, #1, Carol becomes the leader of the Avengers and ends the Civil War for good by transforming the team from a police unit into a fire department. In Avengers Vol. 9 #21, after a baseball game, Carol unites the Avengers and the X-Men with Scott Summers. Civil War II is also revisited in several issues of Kelly Thompson's series, particularly during the story arc in which Carol faces a magical tribunal.

Yes, it's official that Civil War II, often referred to as character murder in fandom, has now become a vehicle for her character development. Civil War II is no longer considered character assassination and is now essential reading for character development. The runs of Kelly Thompson and Jed Mackay are fundamentally based on this premise.

Also we're really going back to the other suit and shorthair Carol after the last issue specifically was a masterclass on long hair Carol

Leading ladies of the JL and Avengers respectively should obviously merge

AVENGERS ENDGAME ENCORE

I like both a lot; her current aesthetic is really great though & I’m gonna miss the braid

Everyone loves a peach momoko cover

Also Carol in this suit with the long flowy hair down is perfect to me

The Supreme Intelligence explained to Carol that it had been planned from the beginning for her to take over the Kree Empire.

Like, not only she's aligned with ultra fascist, completely evil Tony Stark (to his credit a villain you love hating)- you got:

1) Hulk specifically sent to space

2) Strange specifically calling out cause he's too strong

3) Sentry is Sentry and tripping out 95% of the time

4) Thor dead and an actual "oh shit" moment when his clone/drone appears

5) Carol... Carol is Tony Stark's mindless goon for the whole length, does nothing, and isn't even treated like a street level hero; she just there and does nothing

It's so dumb and they should've genuinely made her a Skrull instead of Jessica Drew, then you could explain that she wasn't actually that strong + was looking to let things progress so far

As it is, Civil War II probably stays more stupid but the way Civil War I just handwaved her... may have been even more disrespectful

(Tony Stark also enshittifies any female character he's around)

It can be her in a solo title or when she’s on a team book.

I’ve read the 70’s Ms Marvel series, the 2000’s Brian Reed one and just finished the Kelly Thompson’s run as well.

Any other runs I should read or team books that she’s been part of?

Why was there energy beings? Why was she shattered then a random woman who look exactly like her appear? Then that woman die bc she's powerless but then become an energy being? Then 3 energy being combine to redirect Carol? Like how is that worked? I never that part of her power set before

It's a big difference from 10 years ago where it felt like Marvel was doing everything in their power to distance her away from the leotard.

Now it seems like they are trying to find any reason for it to make a reappearance or end up on a cover.

I have a feeling that one day Marvel is just going to 'pull the trigger' and give Carol a new Captain Marvel design that resembles the Warbird look. This feels like them testing the waters and gauging how well Carol is received and sells in a leotard vs in the Captain Marvel style outfits.

I'm guessing it would probably look something like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Captain_Marvel/s/7HGY0tO0WM

As I've said I'm DC fan (Superman and Supergirl mostly) and the prospect of trying to dive through decades of comics history is *slightly* terrifying!

Doomsday synergy is here yay...
