Cool power, incredibly powerful - but I guess there wasn't much motivation to her character to differentiate her from other characters so that writers would want to use her on a consistent basis. She was never very tortured or driven beyond a general desire to do good. Since I am among a small minority that does not dig Nextwave, I was disappointed to see her used there in a totally throw-away Marvel misfits story. I bought Nextwave's first four issues just to see Monica on the loose again. Sad to see it was just a comic book story (which can be cool) but did have any impact on the Marvel-verse, which I hoped for. I always thought Captain Marvel was an awesome character.

Possibly the greatest black superhero . . . impossibly powerful, Southern like me (from New Orleans!), a leader of the Avengers of my youth--a great character. I was out of comics when she was de-powered, re-powered, and renamed, but I hated that Marvel didn't want to let her be their flagship character. The Avengers of the 80's were AWESOME.

A big black woman who put the big beat down on Cap & the Falcon! See Captain America #195-197 collected in the Madbomb trade.
