Monica Rambeau
Monica Rambeau is a fictional character, a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Initially known as Captain Marvel, the character became a leader of the Avengers. She later used the codenames Photon, Pulsar, and, beginning in 2013, Spectrum.
The character was created by writer Roger Stern and artist John Romita, Jr.. She first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16 (1982).
Talking about the visual features of the character, Romita noted that originally the character was intended to look like Pam Grier but:
" ...I just took some reference on Pam Grier, because I always loved her, and at the last moment somebody said that, "Well, we need to use this woman, here," because they thought maybe Pam Grier wasn't as good-looking as the model they found. It was fine, because by the time she got done by other artists, it ended up looking like the generic black character, anyway. "
After her debut, the character appeared sporadically in The Avengers #227-347. She received a one-shot title, Captain Marvel vol. 2, #1 (Nov. 1989). She also starred in Avengers: Unplugged #5. She returned in The Avengers vol. 3 with sporadic appearances between issues #1-59. During this run, she also appeared in Avengers: Infinity #1-4 (Sept.-Dec. 2000), Maximum Security #2-3 (both Jan. 2001), Thor vol. 2 #30 (Jan. 2001) and the Avengers Annual in 2001.
In 2009, Rambeau appeared in the limited series, Marvel Divas (partly inspired by Sex and the City). She was one of the main characters, alongside Black Cat, Hellcat, and Firestar.
After a cameo in Great Lakes Avengers #1 and New Thunderbolts #8-9, she appeared in Order #5-6. She starred in Nextwave #1-12. Following the cancellation of that series, Rambeau was seen briefly in Civil War, She-Hulk, and as a main character in Marvel Divas #1-4 and Heralds #1-5. She appears Iron Age #1 (2011), Captain Marvel #7-8, Journey into Mystery #649, and Age of Ultron.
Starting in September 2013, she began appearing as one of the lead characters in the Marvel NOW! relaunch of Mighty Avengers, acting as the team's field leader under the new codename Spectrum.
Monica Rambeau was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to Frank and Maria Rambeau. She was a lieutenant in the New Orleans harbor patrol, and operated as a cargo ship captain. Trying to prevent the creation of a dangerous weapon, Rambeau is exposed to extra-dimensional energy. As a result, she is able to convert her body to energy. She decides to use her powers to fight crime and named herself as Captain Marvel.
