Ms.Marvel Character Review
Ms. Marvel is the name of a fictional Character appearing in comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Roy Thomas and designed by artist Gene Colan, the non-powered Major Carol Danvers debuted as a member of the United States Air Force in Marvel Super-Heroes (March 1968) and as Ms. Marvel—a fusion of alien Kree and human genes—in Ms. Marvel (January 1977).
Debuting in the Silver Age
of comics, the character featured in a self-titled series in the late
1970s before becoming associated with superhero teams the Avengers and the X-Men. The character has also been known as Binary, Warbird, and Captain Marvel at various points in her history, and has featured in other Marvel-endorsed products including video games, animated television series,animated film and merchandise such as trading cards.
In the 2000s, the increased use of her as a character eventually
prompted some commentators to note that "she's now the House of Ideas'
premier heroine." She was ranked 29th in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list...More about Ms.Marvel Character Review - keep reading !!

Powers and Abilities (Ms.Marvel)
Ms. Marvel initially possessed superhuman strength, endurance,
stamina, flight, physical durability, a limited precognitive "sixth
sense", and a perfectly amalgamated human/Kree physiology that rendered
her resistant to most toxins and poisons, with the added effect of
making her body virtually invulnerable and indestructible. As Binary,
the character could tap the energy of a "white hole", allowing full control and manipulation of stellar energies, and therefore control over heat, the electromagnetic spectrum and gravity. Light speed travel and the ability to exist in the vacuum of space were also possible.
Although the link to the white hole was eventually severed, Ms. Marvel retains her Binary powers on a smaller scale, enabling her to
both absorb energy and project it in photonic form. She can still also
survive in space. While she lacks a constant source of energy to
maintain the abilities at their previous cosmic level, she can
temporarily assume her Binary form if empowered with a high enough
infusion of energy.

Ms. Marvel possesses incredible superhuman strength and durability, can fly at roughly half the speed of sound, retains her Seventh Sense, and discharge explosive blasts of radiant
energy, which she fires from her fingertips. She also demonstrates the
ability to absorb other forms of energy, such as electricity, to further
magnify her strength and energy projection, up to the force of an
exploding nuclear weapon. When sufficiently augmented, she can withstand the pressure from a
92-ton weight, and strike with a similar level of force, although Hank Pym theorized that this likely was not her limit. Carol cannot absorb magical energy without consequence, though she
aided Dr. Stephen Strange in the defeat of the mystic menace Sir Warren
Traveler. Carol Danvers is also an exceptional espionage agent, pilot, hand-to-hand combatant and markswoman.
Characterization
With Ms. Marvel in 1977, writer Gerry Conway
played a significant role in the character's development, writing in
his introduction to the series, "you might see a parallel between her quest for identity, and the modern woman's quest for raised consciousness, for self-liberation, for identity."
Ms. Marvel's uniform and abilities, however, were derived from the
character's then-contemporary male counterpart: Captain Marvel.
Furthermore, the character's blonde hair and civilian name of Carol Danvers form a clear connection to DC Comics' Supergirl, a character created entirely in imitation of a male counterpart—and whose secret identity was "Linda Lee Danvers".
The Ms. Marvel letters page ("Ms. Prints") featured letters debating whether or not the character was feminist. Reader (and frequent letterhack) Jana C. Hollingsworth took issue with Ms. Marvel's entire origin:
" For the eleven years I've been a comics fan, I've been proud of how
Marvel resisted the temptation to create male-based heroines à la
Supergirl. It's been proudly proclaimed that Ms. Marvel is not Marvel Girl; well, maybe the early Marvel Girl did have weak powers and an insipid personality, but at least her powers were her powers and her personality was her
personality.... I hope you can change her costume if it's all possible,
and keep her on her own instead of associating her with Captain
Marvel...."
Another reader had issue with the character's outfit: "Question:
where is a woman who wears long sleeves, gloves, high boots and a scarf
(winter wear), and at the same time has a bare back, belly, and legs?
The Arctic equator? That costume requires a few alterations." These questions, and the controversial rape in Avengers, caused many readers to question the character's portrayal, and whether she was a good role model for female readers.
It has been noted that "Danvers' initial appearances portrayed her as
a strong character, but that changed over time—even after she gained
super powers." When Ms. Marvel received her own title in the 2000s, Marvel Comics was
"determined to have the character take center stage in the Marvel
Universe", with "Joe Quesada and the other powers [having] had the
character play major roles in their huge 'House of M' crossover, in the
'New Avengers' and in the gargantuan success that is 'Civil War'. "Writer Brian Reed has had Ms. Marvel overcome worthy challenges
ranging from alien invasions, time-traveling sorcerers and former
teammates turned enemy." Brian Reed's characterization of Ms. Marvel (in the "War of the Marvels" story arc) has been said to be "an engaging mix of bravado and aggression juxtaposed with compassion and empathy."
