as an adult.

Development

Concept and creation

Talking about the visual features of the character, John Romita Jr. noted that, originally, the character was intended to look like actress Pam Grier, but her appearance was changed before publication:

I just took some reference on Pam Grier, because I always loved her, and at the last moment somebody said that, "Well, we need to use this woman, here," because they thought maybe Pam Grier wasn't as good-looking as the model they found. It was fine, because by the time she got done by other artists, it ended up looking like the generic black character, anyway.[4]

Publication history

Monica Rambeau debuted in

The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16 (October 1982), created by writer Roger Stern and artist John Romita.[5]

Following her debut, the character appeared throughout the entirety of Stern's five-year run on

Mark D. Bright, followed. She also starred in Avengers: Unplugged #5. She returned in The Avengers (vol. 3) with sporadic appearances between issues #1–59. During this run, she also appeared in Avengers: Infinity #1–4 (September–December 2000), Maximum Security #2–3 (both January 2001), Thor (vol. 2) #30 (January 2001) and the Avengers Annual in 2001.[6]

.

Starting in September 2013, she appeared as one of the lead characters in the

Mighty Avengers, she acted as the team's field leader under the new codename Spectrum.[14][15]

She was part of the 2015's

Miss America, and Captain Marvel.[16] In Marvel NOW! (2016), the Ultimates broke up but are later reunited and asked to become the heralds of Galactus, who is now the Lifebringer of Worlds.[17] The second volume ended at a special #100 issue and it includes an appearance of the original Ultimates team.[18][19]

She was a major character in the Avengers weekly story-arc Avengers: No Road Home, alongside Hawkeye, Hercules, Hulk, Scarlet Witch, Vision, Voyager and Rocket Raccoon. It was meant to be a spiritual successor to previous Avengers weekly story-arc, Avengers: No Surrender.[20]

In August 2022, Marvel Comics announced Monica Rambeau's first solo comic book series Photon, set to be released in December 2022.[21][22]

Fictional character biography

Origin

Monica Rambeau was born in

Ben Grimm that the name had originally been used by the late Kree hero Mar-Vell, but Grimm assured her that "[Marvel] wouldn't mind. I probably ain't the only 'Thing' in the world either."[25]

Joining the Avengers

Rambeau sought out the

Wasp, Captain Marvel soon graduated to full membership after the battle against Plantman.[28] She became their first African-American heroine.[6]

She assisted Doctor Strange and the Scarlet Witch in battling Dracula.[29]

Two of Rambeau's enemies are super-powered psychiatrist

the Beyonder abducted them and other Earth superheroes for the first Secret Wars saga.[31]

Moonstone and Blackout returned as members of

Nebula, who shanghaied Rambeau into space for an extended period before she reunited with the Avengers.[33]

Captain Marvel also took part in battles against the Beyonder,[34] a confused Jean Grey,[35] Kang the Conqueror,[36] Attuma,[37] and Grandmaster.[38]

Leader of the Avengers

Rambeau later replaced the Wasp as leader of the Avengers,[39] commanding them in battles against the X-Men,[40] the Olympian Gods,[41] and the Super-Adaptoid.[42] She spent a lot of time refereeing squabbles between Hercules and the Sub-Mariner, and dealing with the duplicitous telepath Dr. Druid, who sought to supplant her as Avengers chairman and undermined her authority at every opportunity.

When honorary Avengers member and wife of the Sub-Mariner Marrina transformed into the gigantic sea monster Leviathan, Captain Marvel led the hunt for the creature. During the battle that followed, Rambeau transformed herself into a massive bolt of lightning to try and stop the beast. She made contact with the water and accidentally conducted herself across the surface of the ocean, dispersing her atoms so widely that she barely regained physical form. She reformed as a frail, withered husk of a woman devoid of super-powers.[43]

Regaining her powers

After retiring from the team,

Powderkeg.[45] At the same time, she served as a cargo ship captain in her friend Ron Morgan's shipping company before starting her own charter business.[45]

Rambeau stayed connected with the Avengers and served as a reservist, sometimes assuming leadership duties in the absence of the current chair. She helped repel an

Terminus Factor.[48] Rambeau led a reserve substitute roster during the team's first United Nations-backed reorganization.[49] She took on another leadership role during the Kree-Shi'ar war and led an Avengers delegation to the Shi'ar Empire to petition for peace.[50]

When a group of aliens calling themselves Starblasters tried to push the moon away from Earth,

Stranger accelerates the process.[51]

When Genis became an adventurer, he was known as Captain Marvel like his father before him—which Rambeau resented. After she, Starfox and Genis teamed up to defeat the Controller, Genis tried to concede the Captain Marvel title to Rambeau since he felt she was more worthy of it. Rambeau declined out of respect for the Mar-Vell legacy and adopted the new alias Photon.[52]

Avengers Return

After the return of the main Avengers from the

Franklin Richards almost all the current and former Avengers members were trapped in a curse created by Morgan Le Fay where they served her as soldiers in a guard called Queen's Vengeance.[53] Due to her strong loyalty to the group Rambeau, under the name Daystar, was one of the first Avengers to recover their will and rebel against the sorceress.[54]

Later when Photon was attacked by the Wrecking Crew in the Mardi Gras of New Orleans, she asked the Avengers for help and wound up being involved in an adventure in Arkon's world with the group and her old fellow Avenger, Black Knight.[55]

For a time, Rambeau's mother intercepted her Avengers calls out of fear for her daughter's safety. After discovering this deception, Rambeau led an unofficial force of Avengers against the 'Infinites', who planned on relocating the galaxy.

Lord Templar and Pagan.[58]

After that, Rambeau helped the team in the deep-space monitoring station with

Janet van Dyne and advising the new recruit Triathlon on his current issues as the newest member of the team),[61] in the world crisis caused by Zodiac,[62] and when the Scarlet Witch suffered a nervous breakdown and attacked the Avengers.[63]

From Pulsar to Nextwave

When Genis-Vell wanted to establish a new identity for himself, he began calling himself Photon. Rambeau confronted him but decided to let Genis keep the Photon alias after she came up with a name she liked better, Pulsar.[64][65]

Rambeau later led the

Beyond Corporation©[66] where she avoided using a code name and wore a new uniform.[67]

During the

When Brother Voodoo asked for Rambeau's help in tracking down some evil sorcerers, she revealed a former relationship with

Firestar. Despite her breaking it off, Voodoo still had feelings for Rambeau. She agreed to aid him, rekindling their relationship in the process.[70]

She later attended

Las Vegas where she helped solve a cosmic crisis involving Frankie Raye.[71]

The group continued to meet partly over their support of Firestar, who had recovered from breast cancer.[72] She assisted Carol Danvers, in an investigation in the Gulf of Mexico, where Rambeau indicated that she was still fearful of using her powers under the water since her traumatic experience in battle against Marrina Smallwood,[10] and aided Iron Man in the Avengers' deep-space monitoring station against ancient Viking monsters who claimed to be the Emperor of Mars.[73]

Marvel Now!

During the

mysterious guest says he cannot be seen in America, and needed her help for a mysterious mission, but she was adamant...he is in a costume shop, and if he wanted her help, he'd put on a costume and come help her.[74]

Monica became field leader of Luke Cage's new Mighty Avengers team in the wake of the event.[75]

During the "Last Days" part of the Secret Wars storyline, Spectrum devised a plan to destroy Earth-1610 to keep it from colliding with Earth-616. In desperation during the two weeks before the end of the world, Spectrum channeled her full power and went to destroy Earth-1610.[76] However, right before she could successfully destroy the other Earth, she spotted a group of children who lived there, causing her to hesitate for only a moment, long enough for Ultimate Reed Richards to capture her.[77]

In the aftermath of the "Devil's Reign" storyline, Spectrum assists the newly elected Mayor Luke Cage in taking down a Thunderbolts unit led by Crossbones. Afterwards, public relations specialist Helen Astrantia wanted Spectrum to lead the re-branded Thunderbolts. She turns down the suggestion and flies off.[78]

Powers and abilities

Monica Rambeau gained her superhuman abilities owing to bombardment by extra-dimensional energies. She can transform herself into any form of energy within the

radio waves, and neutrinos. By assuming an energy-form, she gains all of that energy's properties.[83]

She is invisible and intangible in many of her energy forms (the most frequent exception being visible light), and is capable of flight in all her energy forms (reaching velocities up to and including light speed).[84][85] She also has the ability to project these energies from her body while she is in human form (only one wavelength of energy at a time), usually in the form of energy blasts from her hands. She mentally controls both the type and quantity of energy she wishes to transmit. The maximum amount of energy she can transmit at a given time is unknown. Rambeau can also divert small amounts of various energies for employment as force beams, which have the equivalent to 300 tons of TNT of explosive force. A variation of this ability enables her to project light-based holographic illusions of herself. Rambeau has also shown the ability to split her energy form into several miniature energy forms that are under her mental command, each miniature Rambeau is able to react and fly at light-speed.

When she encounters a new or unfamiliar energy, Rambeau can often duplicate it given enough time for analysis.[86] Rambeau tends to be physically insubstantial in her energy forms, though with concentration and effort she can sometimes perform tasks such as briefly grasping an object, either by partially solidifying or by applying some sort of force to the object in question.

She is immortal and does not age beyond her prime.[87]

When Rambeau temporarily lost her original powers after a massive energy expenditure,

Reed Richards to examine these new abilities, he theorized that she accessed the same dimension from which she derived her energy powers to create the interface.[45]

Rambeau has strong leadership skills and law enforcement experience due to both of her time as a police officer and former leader of the Avengers. She is an excellent markswoman, unarmed combatant, detective, and swimmer with extensive nautical expertise. She has received Harbor Patrol training, and Avengers training in unarmed combat by Captain America.

Reception

Nick Hemming of

Looper called Monica Rambeau a "spectacular heroine in her own right", writing, "Few understand just how monumental her contributions to the Marvel universe truly are, nor how massive her character potential remains, decades after her debut. As a character, her impressive energy-manipulating powers make her an Alpha-Level threat, while her strong leadership and sarcastic wit make her a fan-favorite This is the untold truth of Marvel's all-too-often forgotten Avenger, Monica Rambeau."[88] Deirdre Kaye of Scary Mommy called Monica Rambeau a "role model" and a "truly heroic" female character.[89] Chris McMullen of Space.com ranked Monica Rambeau first in their "5 Marvel Characters Who Deserve Their Own Show" list.[90]Sideshow ranked Monica Rambeau 3rd in their "Top 10 Comic Book Captains" list, saying that Monica Rambeau is one of the characters "at the top of their game, taking charge of entire teams or striking out on their own with the skills and strength to earn their Captain title."[91]

Keith Reid-Cleveland of The Daily Dot ranked Monica Rambeau 9th in their "12 Black Marvel Characters Everyone Should Know" list, stating, "There have been many Captain Marvels over the years, and they’ve all been highly capable at doing whatever they put their minds too. Monica Rambeau is no exception."[92] Rob Bricken of Gizmodo ranked Monica Rambeau 10th in their "Every Member Of The Avengers, Ranked" list, saying, "She quickly proved herself among Earth's Mightiest Heroes."[93] George Marston of Newsarama ranked Monica Rambeau 16th in their "Best Female Superheroes" list.[94] The A.V. Club ranked Monica Rambeau 95th in their "100 Best Marvel Characters" list.[95]

Literary reception

Volumes

Captain Marvel: Monica Rambeau (2019)

According to Diamond Comic Distributors, the Captain Marvel: Monica Rambeau trade paperback was the 112th best selling graphic novel in January 2019.[101][102]

Monica Rambeau: Photon (2022)

According to the ComicHub system at local comic book shops selling American comics, Monica Rambeau: Photon #1 was the 53rd best selling comic book in December 2022.[103]

Megan Loucks of

ComicBook.com gave Monica Rambeau: Photon #1 a grade of 3.5 out of 5, saying, "Eve Ewing's new run on Monica Rambeau reminds readers, or perhaps confirms to new ones, why this character can be so compelling, even if there's more than the necessary amount of cameos. Ewing's work on the series is already character-driven with enough of a plot tease for what's to come that this first issue doesn't feel like a total exposition dump. Artists Luca Maresca and Ivan Fiorelli are credited with pencils which seem largely to fit the Marvel house style, nothing too exciting and largely similar in nature to every other regular book from the publisher. They do have a handful of moments with unique panel layouts however, including in the final page, which they should lean into more."[105]

It is implied that the inexperienced Rambeau appearing around that time in Black Panther was, in fact, this alternate.
