Regarding the history of " Marvelman" a.k.a. " Miracleman":
First published in the UK between the years of 1954 and 1963. The character has a very complex history riddled with litigation his path from the UK to the Marvel U is in of itself a Marvel or Miracle. In brief, Captain Marvel's stories were sold in the UK as black and white reprints of his US stories, When Captain Marvel's sales and marketability became greater then Superman's DC got litigious and the case and associated costs so ham-stringed Fawcett's finances that they surrendered and ceased publishing. One by one the Captain Marvel comics ended publication, with the final Golden Age appearance being The Marvel Family#89, January 1954
Back in the UK, the publishing firm of L.Miller and sons realized that with no new issues of Captain Marvel going to press they would soon run out of reprint materials. Enter Mick Anglo who at Miller and son's request remodeled the character designs of the Marvel Family of Fawcett into a new Marvel Family unique to the UK. Their origins re-conceived and tweaked they would soon debut. Captain Marvel became Marvelman, Captain Marvel Jr. became Young Marvelman, and Mary Marvel got a SEX CHANGE and became a boy Kid Marvelman.

wait Marvel now has the rights to the original Captain Marvel, but didn't DC later buy that character or did they just create their own Captain Marvel
No. Marvel has the rights to Marvelman not Captain Marvel.
well i guess Marvel is planning on getting rid of Noh-Varr i mean they even brought in his immediate replacement (just hope they don't let Bendis screw this one up too)
Marvelman has his own Mythos..and now Marvel has a "Black Adam" to call their own in Young Nastyman. Beware Avengers! Not sure how Marvel will integrate everything.
