After encountering the Kree hero Captain Marvel, Carol Danvers was accidentally subjected to otherworldly radiation that transformed her into a superhuman warrior. Calling herself Ms. Marvel, she established herself as one of the most powerful and prominent heroes and respected member of the Avengers. She has now adopted the mantle of Captain Marvel for herself.
Costume meh, I get it but don't dig it. looks terrible in the sample pages too. That hair is atrocious as well. I mean wtf, man?! I'm all for more females having ongoing titles at Marvel, but changing her name...well to me it places her even more in the shadow of her Male counterpart/forerunner. One of the biggest problems with female characters at the big two is that they're more often than not conceptually indebted to male characters for their origin/code name/etc. This was already a situation too late to avoid with Carol, but I think making her Captain Marvel vs giving her a new ongoing makes it worse.
