Marvel Comics has officially changed Carol Danvers’ origin story ahead of the release of the Captain Marvel movie.
In the original comics, Captain Marvel obtained her powers from the Psyche-Magnitron device, which exploded, fusing her DNA with Mar-Vell’s.
Life of Captain Marvel issue 4 reveals that Carol Danvers’ mother, Marie Danvers, is a member of the alien Kree race, which makes Carol a Kree-human hybrid.
Her DNA was not fused with Mar-Vell’s, which could be how the Captain Marvel movie decides to handle the situation.
