Adaptation [All Energy Forms]: PR 1/hour. b. Flight [All Energy Forms]: Captain Marvel's maximum terrestrial speed is 720 mph (3256" air). She can shift to Hyper-flight where she can reach speeds next to the Speed of Light (186,274 mph). PR 1/hour of flight. c. Heightened Endurance A +15 [All Energy Forms] d.

Vibratory Powers [Cosmic Radiation, Microwaves]: Range 60" (2x End), 2d8 Damage, PR 4/attack. Please note that a particular energy form can provide multiple defenses. In this case, she would use the best defense rating possible from all applicable defenss. i.e. While in the Visible Light energy form, Captain Marvel has access to the Adaptation, Non-Corporealness, and Light Control defenses. Also in some cases, her powers overlap (i.e. Heightened Endurance A, Flight, Non-Corprealness, etc.) and are considered all to be on once her Power Transformation has been activated. Character Data modified by her transformation is listed in square [parantheses] (Captain Marvel's unmodified stat is always listed first). |

Origin and Background: (American) Monica Rambeau was a lieutenant in the New Orleans harbor patrol when a friend of her grandfather, physicist Andre LeClare, came to her for help. LeClare had discovered a means to draw energy from another dimension, while working under the auspices of South American dictator Ernesto Ramirez. Learning that Generalissimo Ramirez intended to use his discovery to make a weapon, LeClare journeyed to the United States to enlist Rambeau's aid. Rambeau agreed to investigate his claim and accompanied LeClare to an oilrig where the dictator had assembled his energy disruptor weapon. While attempting to destroy the weapon, Rambeau was bombarded by its extradimensional energies and converted into living energy. Materializing in physical form back in New Orleans, Rambeau contacted the navy, then put together an identity-concealing costume out of Mardi Gras outfits. Instinctively reassuming her energy-state, she flew back to the oilrig to witness LeClare getting shot by the scientist who designed the disruptor and to discover that the damaged weapon had created a growing interdimensional breech. Rambeau was sucked into the breech where she managed to seal the hole with her body's own energies. She then saved LeClare from a second bullet and overpowered the gunman, leaving him to the authorities. Days later, the convalescing Professor LeClare visited Rambeau and presented her with a costume based on the one she had worn, only composed of unstable molecules. LeClare explained to the woman the theoretical extent of her new powers and suggested that she use them for the public good. He showed her a newspaper account of her first exploit wherein she was dubbed "Captain Marvel." Rambeau decided the professor's suggestion had merit, and resigned from the harbor patrol so she could devote more time to it. Soon discovering that the extra energy she had absorbed from the interdimensional breech was building up uncontrollably, Rambeau traveled to New York City to enlist the aid of Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. When she found Richards was not home, she went to the Avengers where Iron Man, with the aid of the passing Spider-Man, managed to siphon off the excess energy. As Captain Marvel, Rambeau accepted the Wasp's offer to become an Avenger-in-training. In a short time, Captain Marvel was awarded full membership in the Avengers, and she has been active ever since. Recently Captain Marvel revealed to her parents her secret identity. She was also abducted to the Skrull Galaxy recently by a band of space pirates led by Nebula. After spending several weeks in outer space, she found that she had lost a noticeable amount of weight by the time she returned to Earth.
