History
|
Carol Danvers entered the Air Force at
an early age and rapidly rose to become one of the leading
agents in military intelligence. Upon leaving her work as a
spy, she became security chief at Cape Canaveral for NASA,
where she met the Kree hero, Mar-Vell, the first Captain
Marvel.
During a battle between Mar-Vell and his Kree foe Yon-Rogg at
a hidden Kree base on Earth, Carol Danvers was accidentally
irradiated by the unknown energies of the Psyche-Magnetron, a
device built by the Kree for communication as well as for
weaponry. The radiation from the machine eventually augmented
Carol's entire genetic structure, granting her super powers.
Assuming the guise of Ms. Marvel, she fought crime and alien
invasion. During this time, she worked as a magazine editor in
New York City and earned the friendship of many other heroes,
even becoming a member of the mighty Avengers.
Soon after joining the Avengers, however, Carol was used by
Marcus, son of the extra-dimensional time traveler Immortus,
in an elaborate scheme to escape his prison in Limbo by
impregnating Carol with himself. Marcus was born into our
reality through Carol, and would have died. Carol, believing
to be acting under her own influence, fled to Limbo with
Marcus, only to have Marcus die and stranding Carol in Limbo.
Eventually, Carol escaped, but later she was defeated by the
power-absorbing mutant named Rogue. Danvers lost virtually all
of her Ms. Marvel abilities and all of her memories. With the
help of the mutant telepath, Professor X, Carol was able to
recover her memories, but the emotional ties to them were
gone.
Traveling with the X-men, Carol was abducted by the alien
Brood, who subjected her to an evolutionary ray which
triggered the latent potential of Carol's Kree-enhanced genes,
giving her super powers which led Carol to call herself
"Binary." She soon joined the space pirates known as the
Starjammers.
During the Kree-Shi'ar War, Carol was deeply wounded in battle
and returned to Earth. Carol decided to stay on Earth to
attempt a re-establishment of her former life.
Carol Danvers renamed herself Warbird and rejoined the
Avengers bringing with her a whole set of problems. First, her
powers were slowly depleting. She tried to hide this fact from
the Avengers, leading to conflict with Captain America. Carol
also developed a drinking problem, which was immediately
noticed by recovering alcoholic and fellow Avenger, Iron Man.
Her drinking, coupled with her determination to prove herself
a worthy addition to the Avengers and her secretiveness about
her power loss, led to reckless grand-standing and sloppy
teamwork. This eventually led to a formal court-martial before
her fellow Avengers. She quit the team.
Carol realized that she had hit rock bottom after she
attempted to reach escape velocity to help the Avengers on the
Moon vs. the Kree Lunatic Legion.
She has given up the bottle for two reasons: One she wants to
be the best superhero that she can be and secondly because her
doctor told her that she had done so much damage with the
boozing to her internal organs that another drink might KILL
her.
She attends AA meetings and has been reinstated to the
Avengers.
