AThousandYoung Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 I used to have a comic collection. I had some Avengers comic books. One of them was set on the David Letterman show. I remember a superheroine who I thought was named "Captain Marvel". However it seems Captain Marvel is nothing like the character I remember. She was a Black woman with a 'fro. I remember her costume being all white with some sort of white cape or something. Her power was that she could turn into any form of energy - light, heat, electricity, etc. Who is this person? I can't find her on the internet and my friends don't know who I'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoloOfEarth Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Re: What Marvel hero am I remembering? Monica Rambeau, also known as Captain Marvel, Photon, and Pulsar. Here's a Wiki page on her: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Rambeau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supreme Serpent Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Re: What Marvel hero am I remembering? You're remembering right. She's had some name changes which probably makes making sense out of search info harder. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monica_Rambeau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AThousandYoung Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Re: What Marvel hero am I remembering? Awesome, thanks. I was starting to wonder if I dreamed her up sometime I had a bad flu and fever or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Re: What Marvel hero am I remembering? She was also featured prominently in the first edition of TSR's Marvel Super Heroes RPG, having a place on the cover and in the introductory adventure.

penemue Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Re: What Marvel hero am I remembering? I remember that Avengers book. I only bought it because it had David Letterman. I had no idea who or what an Avengers was. I was a DC kid. Her best incarnation was in Nextwave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Re: What Marvel hero am I remembering? I remember "Captain Marvel". Way to alienate the Mar-vell fan base, Marvel. Shoulda called her "Photon" from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea who or what an Avengers was. I was a DC kid. Her best incarnation was in Nextwave. Followed closely by her recent appearance in Reginald Hudlin's Black Panther run. She takes out a town of vampires by using her power to become a beam of ultraviolet light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnia Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Re: What Marvel hero am I remembering? I remember "Captain Marvel". Way to alienate the Mar-vell fan base' date=' Marvel. Shoulda called her "Photon" from the start.[/quote'] Probably called her that just to renew the copywright on the name so DC couldn't snatch it back up for Shazam.
