Thanos was born one of the Eternals of Titan (or Titanians ) - the peaceful offshoot of the Eternals of Earth who lived in their perfect little society on one of Saturn's moons (though the origin of the Titanians in this story is more mythological). But Thanos wasn't like his father  Mentor  or his brother Eros . Thanos wanted to make weapons. Thanos wanted to kill! So Mentor banished Thanos, who built himself an army and attacked Titan. Mentor appealed to his super-powerful father, Kronos (the abstract cosmic being), who created one superhuman being called Drax the Destroyer from the ground itself and sends him to destroy Thanos and make Titan safe again. The two of them fight until Drax  is taken prisoner by Thanos. Desperate, Drax sends out a signal for help. Aside from the Avengers , Thanos' actions will all heavily impact another hero,  Captain Marvel  ( Mar-Vell of the  Kree ), who shares his space in the positive matter universe with Rick Jones...

Plus her odd, pseudo-flirtatious relationship with Peter Parker continues in that series and the storyline is also written by Kelly Sue DeConnick, writer of Carol's solo Captain Marvel series. Carol Danvers first appeared as a love interest for the original Captain Marvel (the Kree hero Mar-Vell ) before gaining Kree powers from exposure to the Psyche-Magnitron and becoming Ms Marvel . From there, she lost her powers and emotions to Rogue , gained different powers to become Binary , returned to her Ms Marvel costume but took the name Warbird , then returned as Ms Marvel once again. Isn't it time she jus took on the Captain Marvel mantle? [THE COMING OF CAPTAIN MARVEL - Carol Danvers' first appearance] Captain Marvel #1 Avenging Spider-Man #9-10 C...

Some time after the death of the original Captain Marvel ( Mar-Vell ), his life-partner, Elysius , tried to cure her loneliness by using some of his genes to conceive a child. Fearing a kid could come under threat from Mar-Vell's many enemies, Elysius rapidly aged Genis-Vell into his teens. He took the name Legacy , but struggled under the weight of his father's heroic shadow. Three years on from his birth, Legacy is now the equivalent of a nineteen-teen years old with implanted memories to match,. He drinks too much, lacks a true sense of honour and is easily sucked in to scams if he thinks it means he'll live up to the legacy of Captain Marvel. Even if he has no intention of taking the name. Which, of course, he's about to... Genis' turn as Captain Marvel was meant to last longer than just six issues, but it wasn't a winner with fans. Understandably so, as it's not Fabian Niceiza's finest hour. It left some dangling plot threads which have never bee...
