Reputation

Biography
Carol Danvers was born in Boston, the only girl out of three children. She was always bright, and always determined, so when her father suggested that instead of going to college she just find a nice man to marry, she decided she'd find a way to pay her own way through and enrolled at the Air Force Academy. It was a good fit, and in no time, Carol had proven herself as an ace fighter pilot. She spent four years at the Academy, then served another four in the service, attaining the rank of Colonel for extraordinary valor before being recruited by the CIA.
For two years, she trained and served, until a mission in Russia went horribly wrong. Carol was shot down, captured, and subjected to torture and interrogation before she was rescued. After that mission, she decided not to pursue a career in the CIA. Instead, she found a position running security for NASA at Cape Canaveral. While there, she grew close to Dr. Phillip Lawson, unaware of his secret identity as Captain Marvel.
When an enemy of Mar-Vell's captured Carol, the Kree warrior came to save her. The Psyche-Magnetron, a weapon capable of turning wishes into reality, exploded, and as Captain Marvel shielded her with his body, Carol wished she had the power to stand with him and protect herself and others as well. The strength of her wish reached out to the machine, and Mar-Vell's DNA was imprinted upon her own, granting her his powers and helping her to become Ms. Marvel.
Not long after she obtained her powers, Carol found herself in a battle with a mutant with the ability to absorb powers - including her own. They fought for so long and so hard that the mutant absorbed not only her powers, but many of her memories and emotions. She was lucky to survive the fight, but the aftermath left her shaken…and without much of an attachment to the woman she had been. She sought help from Professor Xavier of the X-Men, who was able to help her heal, though not to restore her full connection to her past emotions.
As her powers returned, she was experimenting with them, testing her limits by flying up beyond the atmosphere. Unfortunately for her, she was observed by members of another alien race, who captured the recovering hero and - curious about her hybrid DNA - performed experiments on her. Though she was rescued, the experiments had already made changes - for the better, apparently, pushing her powers to their limits. For a short time after her rescue, she roamed the stars as Binary. When a terrible battle injured her severely, she lost touch with the upper limit of those powers, and returned back to Earth.
Having been gone for two years, Carol needed to find something to do to pick up the pieces. She turned to writing, starting with an expose of some of the questionable actions of the CIA and NASA that earned her a good deal of media attention. In short order, she turned that initial success into a career as a journalist, rising to editor of the Gotham Gazette. In her free time, Ms. Marvel is back, fighting for Earth and protecting it from villains.
Recently, she's been transferred to the Daily Planet in Metropolis as the new news editor. Whether or not the general amount of yelling in the editor's office will go up or down has yet to be determined…

Character Details
At her core, Carol is determined. She doesn't believe in letting anyone stop her from doing what she believes she can do, and she doesn't believe in giving up. She became Ms. Marvel because her strongest wish was to be able to stand next to Captain Marvel and protect others. Those are the things she carries forward. She can be blunt, favoring efficiency and quick action over feelings, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a heart. When she isn't in a crisis, Carol is a dedicated friend.
Strength |
Carol us able to lift 75 tons on a regular basis, though if she's absorbed a great deal of energy, she can lift up to or even over 100. The more she uses her powers, the higher this limit goes. |
Super Speed |
On land, Carol can run at speeds that match her strength, able to push sixty miles per hour. In the air, though, is where she shines. She can reach up to Mach 3 in atmosphere, and though she now longer has the ability, has in the past been able to reach the speed of light in space. |
Super Agility |
Carol possesses agility to match her speed and strength, able to dodge bullets and perform complicated feats of athletics. |
Stamina |
At need, Carol can fight for twenty-four hours straight before the strain becomes to much and forces her to rest. |
Flight |
Thanks to her Kree abilities, Carol has the power of flight she always dreamed of, no fighter jet required. Thanks to all of her years of experience and training with jets, though, she has not only the ability to fly, but the aptitude and know-how to do it extremely well. Few are her equal in the air. |
Invulnerability |
Carol can take a tremendous amount of damage. Projectiles like bullets and bladed weapons simply bounce off of her. Blows from those of equal or greater strength than her, however, can beat her down with time. |
Regeneration |
Carol possesses a healing factor that allows her to regenerate from any damage she does sustain. She can accelerate this process if she is able to absorb energy to assist with it. |
Seventh Sense |
Part of the powers she absorbed from the Kree DNA provided Carol with a sort of seventh sense, allowing her to subconsciously recognize danger before it can occur. This also gives her an edge in a fight, allowing her to sense what an opponent's next move may be to better avoid it. |
Minor Molecular Control |
It's the little things that mean the most. Carol possesses a minor degree of molecular control, sufficient to allow her to change from regular clothes to costume at need. |
Pilot |
Carol is an ace Air Force Pilot with several years of experience. If the Air Force flies it, she's cleared to pilot it. Thanks to the Kree DNA she absorbed, she's also capable of flying Kree craft. Between that and her own knowledge, if she doesn't already know how to pilot it, she can figure it out. |
Combat |
Carol received extensive hand to hand combat training from both the Air Force and the CIA, and absorbed more from the Kree DNA when she became Ms. Marvel. She also has appropriate training and experience with firearms. |
Spycraft |
Carol only spent two years with the CIA, but it was enough to pick up the basics of spy craft and espionage. |
Languages |
Carol is fluent in German, French, Spanish, and Russian, and conversant in Japanese. |
Journalism |
Since her return to Earth, Carol has honed her skills as a writer and a journalist, and earned no little acclaim for it as well. |
Energy Absorption & Projection |
As a result of the alien experimentation and her time as Binary, Carol has the ability to absorb energy and use it to further power her own attacks. Extremely high energy attacks can overload her ability to absorb them. She's also able to general photon blasts similar to the repulser blasts in Iron Man's armor. If she's absorbed energy, she is able to add that to the force of the blasts. |
Connections |
Carol still has connections both in the Air Force and the CIA where she can get information if she needs it. As a journalist and an editor, she tries not to lean on them too much, in the interest of not losing their trust, but if she really needs information, she can get it. |
Means |
Thanks to her Air Force pension, proceeds from her books, and her job as an editor, Carol can comfortably provide for herself. She's not off buying her own jets, but she doesn't usually have to worry about getting the bills paid. |
Half-kree |
Carol is unique as a Kree-human hybrid. While it's granted her the powers that make her Ms. Marvel, it also makes her something of a curiosity. To the Brood, that meant she was an excellent experimental subject. To the enemies of the Kree, that may make her an enemy. And should she ever need medical attention on Earth, that makes her…an anomaly. |
Chip On Her Shoulder |
Carol's spent most of her life proving that she isn't "just a girl," which means that sometimes she sees discrimination where there isn't any. It can also make her a bit brusque, feeling like she has to prove herself whether or not she does. |
Loner |
Thus far, Carol hasn't connected with any other heroes. As a pilot, she's used to being in control of her own bird, and having freedom of decision. Being alone means she doesn't have to answer to anyone, but it also means she doesn't have a lot of support. |
Alcohol |
Though she hasn't reached full-blown alcoholic yet, Carol has a tendency to turn to a bottle when the memories of things that have happened get to be too much for her. You think drunk drivers are bad? Try drunk fliers at Mach 3. |
