Role-Playing Notes: As Ms. Marvel, she is a flamboyant fighter prone to displays of her powers. Her bravado masks her uncertainty. She talks to herself a great deal. In a situation that exceeds or threatens her power, she becomes self- doubting but she will persevere to succeed anyway. Curiously, if she actually does permanently lose something (her job, her powers), she no longer worries about it and actually becomes more self confident. History: Carol Danvers entered the Air Force at an early age and rapidly rose to become one of the leading agents in military intelligence, usually teamed with Michael Rossi, who became her lover. Upon leaving her work as a spy, she became security chief at Cape Canaveral for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, where she met the Kree Captain Mar-Vell. 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-Magnitron, a device built by the Kree. The radiation from this machine eventually augmented her entire genetic structure, giving her superhuman strength, the ability to fly, and a clairvoyant “seventh sense.” With these powers, she assumed the guise of Ms. Marvel and established herself as a champion of Earth. During this time she worked as a magazine editor and freelance writer in New York City. Later, in battle with the power-absorbing mutant named Rogue, Danvers lost virtually all of her Ms. Marvel abilities, leaving her with only her augmented genetic structure. Rogue also drained her of her memories, most of which however were restored by Professor Charles Xavier, although he could not restore to her the emotional bonds linked to those memories. Later still, Danvers was abducted by the alien Brood and subjected to an evolutionary ray which triggered the latent potential of her augmented genes. Thus she became the cosmic-powered mutant named Binary. No longer feeling the strong emotional ties to people and places on Earth that she felt before falling victim to Rogue, Danvers decided to leave Earth and pursue adventure as a member of the space faring band known as the Starjammers. |
