The Messed-Up History Of Marvel’s ‘Captain Marvel’ And Why It Doesn’t Matter
By Matt D. Wilson
With the debut this month of newly ranked Captain Marvel Carol Danvers, Marvel has officially published stories featuring seven — count ‘em, seven — versions of the character, and that’s not even counting any of the various alternate-universe incarnations.

But even then, why couldn’t they trot out the same version of the character every odd-numbered year or something? Because since the death of the original Captain Marvel in 1982, Marvel hasn’t had a Captain Marvel with staying power.
Until now.,
