What Captain Marvel's Cast Look Like In The Comics

The Supreme Intelligence is... different, to say the least.

The next Marvel film set to release might be the immutable Avengers: Endgame, but fans are still talking about Captain Marvel.

The second Marvel prequel broke into the franchise's highest grossing films the other week, and though consensus seems to indicate that it's just a good - not great - film, it was still very enjoyable. It introduced fans to a whole new corner of the Marvel mythos, and with it several new characters. There were still returning favourites, but as with most new Marvel IPs, it's seeing the debuts of whole new characters that's the most exciting thing to witness.

Predictably, Captain Marvel had a whole lot of them. However, also worth mentioning is how the film managed to shine a light on the MCU's staple characters, with a younger, less rough-around-the-edges version of Nick Fury partnering the title character as she uncovers her past.

However, even though Captain Marvel stayed faithful to the source material in a great many areas, it also divested from it too. This was apparent in the story and in the look of certain characters, with some being almost unrecognisable in live action compared to how they were in the comics.

As always, it's fun to compare and contrast the MCU versions with how they look in the comics, so let's take a look and see just how different the film really was compared to the source...

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.
