In the comics, Carol Danvers didn’t assume the title of Captain Marvel until 2012, when she took it to honor the departed Kree hero Captain Mar-Vell.
As it goes in the comics, though, Danvers has assumed the name of Captain Marvel and Kamala Khan is assuming the title of Ms. Marvel for the MCU as well.
How Does Ms. Marvel Connect With Captain Marvel?
In the comics, there are a great number of who have picked up the identity of Ms. Marvel, including Sharon Ventura in 1985, and Karen Sofen, the supervillain who adopted the name as the doppelgänger of Carol Danvers.
