Thanos really SHOULD be worried.

Marvel fans only have to wait another month or so before Captain Marvel makes her long-awaited big screen debut, but it's fair to say that - compared to most other Avengers - the character is still relatively unknown.

Yes, she'll be duking it out with Thanos alongside Iron Man and Captain America come April, but even though Carol Danvers has often found herself at the forefront of the Marvel Universe over the years, she's by no means one of the publisher's most prolific heroes.

It is perhaps that very reason as to why the character has often been underestimated since her introduction in 1968. Sure, she's always had those Kree genes and that incredible array of powers, but it's only recently that fans have alerted themselves to the fact that Carol Danvers is really, really strong.

She puts the 'mighty' in Earth's Mightiest Heroes, and with the character have only gone from strength to strength since Kelly Sue DeConnick and Jamie McKelvie rebooted her in 2012, the future looks very bright indeed for Captain Marvel.

However, it may be all well and good to make vague allusions to just how strong the character is, and why Thanos should fear her so, but what exactly has she done to warrant such a fierce reputation?

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
