| | The religion of Ms. Marvel (Carol Danvers) |
 | | Carol Danvers obtained her powers from a machine created by the technologically advanced alien Kree, who are traditionally one of the 3 or 4 most prominent space-faring empires in the Marvel universe. |
 | | Carol's father was a classic chauvinist and refused to send Carol to college, so instead, Carol entered the Air Force upon graduating from high school to pursue her love of aircrafts and her dreams of flying. |
 | | Carol had also developed a drinking problem, which was immediately noticed by recovering alcoholic and fellow Avenger, Iron Man. Her drinking, coupled with her determination to prove herself a worthy addition to the Avengers and her secretiveness about her power loss, led to reckless grand-standing and sloppy teamwork. |
