Captain Marvel Subtly Retcons Her Most Disturbing Moment

Captain Marvel Subtly Retcons Her Most Disturbing Moment

Unfortunately, despite the comics’ best efforts, fans remember that Carol can be particularly bloodthirsty. Captain Marvel #26 depicts Danvers’ rage as she relishes punching Ove (the Enchantress’ son) repeatedly, and Ms. Marvel #28 reveals Captain Marvel’s inner thoughts as she kills a Skrull warrior by flying him straight up into space. “I take it into outer space and I watch it die. And say what you will about me…I enjoy it.” Carol thinks, remembering the act.
Marvel fans know that Carol Danvers is a particularly hot-headed warrior, even among other boisterous heavy-hitters with little impulse control like Thor or Iron Man. It is possible for characters to grow and mature over time, especially regarding their violent ways, but Captain Marvel enjoyed killing her enemies – something the usually-reserved Avengers never feel (or at least never admit). This Captain Marvel retcon can be considered character growth – but it is also a transparent attempt to ‘fix’ the character and make her more palatable for general audiences.
