My theory is, based on what I've read, is that because Carol is half human, she likely possesses the X-gene. The Kree magnitron's immediate effect was to turn thoughts into reality, and because of her dream of flying, that dream gave her the ability to fly. The other powers, like energy manipulation came about after she was abducted by the Kree, after she lost her powers to Rogue. Then comes the Binary part of her story.
