Yep, you read that correctly.

In a story which really does reflect the utter absurdity and sometimes tone-deaf nature of older comics, Carol Danvers, who was going by Ms. Marvel at the time, wakes up one day to find that she is pregnant. After giving birth only a few days later, Carol's baby almost immediately turns into a fully grown man who then precedes to... fall in love with her.

Following some interdimensional nonsense, this man, now going by Marcus, kidnaps his own mother and rapes her, using mind control to do so. Now, arguably the worst part of this disgusting tale is the ending, as the Avengers simply let the still brainwashed Carol go off with the creep, something which she rightly berated them for later down the line.

And, with how vile this storyline was, not to mention the confusing nature of it, who in their right mind would want this brought to the MCU?
