Captain America
Captain America
While World War II is taking place, Steve Rogers, a young man eager to fight, is repeatedly rejected
under several names from joining The U.S. army given that he is feeble and scrawny, deeming him
unqualified to pass the physical tasks. Dr. Abraham Erskine, an ingenious scientist, recruits him to take
part in an experimental project, giving him what he named the ‘Super Soldier Serum’, a serum crafted to
acquire the ideal characteristics to weaponize the members of The U.S. army. Steve Rogers is used solely
for the purpose of propaganda and is recognized worldwidely as “Captain America”, blasted on
television for thousands to see.
Johann Schmidt, the head of a Nazi organization known as HYDRA, is aware of Dr. Abraham Erskine’s
vast capabilities and sends his men to truly verify his actions and take him down, while bringing him the
Tesseract. The Tesseract takes the form of a beaming blue cube and it is the most powerful artifact
known, which does not originate from Earth and is capable of granting its possessor the ability to control
space and whose power Johann Schmidt, known as Red Skull, wants to possess to be able, from its
divine properties, to create the greatest weapons on Earth. His men manage to murder the Dr.,
however, when they try to get to Captain America they fail miserably, for he is an apex human being, yet
they do manage to get a hold of the Tesseract. Steve Rogers and his best friend, James Buchanan ‘Bucky’
Barnes, are on their way to Red Skull’s Headquarters on a moving train which members of HYDRA have
infiltrated. They attack one another and Bucky Barnes falls off of the train and down a steep, ice covered
cliff, to his alleged death.
Steve is devastated, yet doesn’t have the chance to mourn his best friend since he is on a mission. Him,
along with Howard Stark, the mastermind who created Captain America’s renowned ultra-resilient
shield, made of vibranium-iron alloy, and Peggy Carter, his love interest, break into Red Skull’s
Headquarters. After some fighting, Steve retrieves the Tesseract and hijacks a plane by himself to get rid
of Red Skull. With the Tesseract on board, he accidently crashes the plane and is presumed dead. He
remains frozen ice in a massive chunk for almost 70 years, since 1945 until 2011, when he is found and
digged up by The Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, better known by
its acronym; S.H.I.E.L.D., an American espionage, special law enforcement, and counter-terrorism extra-
government agency.
Captain Marvel
In 1995, in the capital of Kree civilization, Hala, Yon-Rogg who is the commander and leader of
Starforce is also Vers’ mentor. Vers is suffering amnesia and she has reoccurring nightmares that revolve
around the same woman. The Krees are a blue-skinned race who are at war with the Skrulls, alien
shapeshifters. Vers, while on a mission to rescue an undercover operative infiltrating a group of Skrulls,
gets captured by their lead commander, Talos. He gets a hold of a few of her memories, those of which
she had of planet Earth. Given Talos’ minor state of distraction, Vers managed to escape and crash a
Kree aircraft down to Los Angeles; however the commotion caused by the abrupt landing gave
S.H.I.E.L.D. motive to investigate its happenings. The investigation, led by the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. Nick
Fury, got promptly disrupted by a group of Skrulls invading the Earth. Talos, impersonating Nick Fury’s
superior Keller, gives him clear orders to work with Vers. Using Vers’ extracted memories, the two of
them go to Project P.E.G.A.S.U.S. (Potential Energy Group/ Alternate Sources/ United States) installation
at a U.S. Air Force base. They discover that Vers was surmised dead for the past 6 years, since 1989,
after crashing an experimental light-speed engine created by Dr. Wendy Lawson, the woman who kept
appearing in her nightmares. Lawson did indeed die, but not in the crash. Nick Fury finds out Talos was
impersonating his boss and together with Vers and Lawson’s cat which they later find out to be a Flerken
alien, they fly out to Louisiana to meet former pilot, Maria Rambeau since she was the last person to see
Dr. Wendy Lawson and Vers alive. Maria and Monica, her daughter, explain that Vers’ actual name is
Carol Danvers.
Talos elucidated how Larson was Mar-Vell, a Kree scientist who helped the Skrull refugees find new
homes and who also formed part of S.H.I.E.L.D. under the name of Dr. Wendy Lawson. Talos handed
Carol a flight recorder to help her remember the past events, and she found herself recalling how Yon-
Rogg murdered Mar-Vell so she would be unable of destroying the engine herself before the Krees
managed to get to it. Even so, Carol destroyed the engine all alone and absorbed its extreme powers
thus erasing her memories. The engine was powered by the Tesseract, which was found again in the late
1940’s by Howard Stark and handed back to S.H.I.E.L.D. while searching for Steve Rogers in his escapade
involving the stolen aircraft. When Lawson heard about this power source in the 80’s, she joined
S.H.I.E.L.D. and N.A.S.A. and she incorporated it in her engine to establish a constant energy source for
her machine in hopes of helping the Skrull refugees and stopping the ongoing Kree-Skrull war.
Nick Fury, Talos, Carol Danvers, and Monica Rambeau find Lawson’s laboratory orbiting Earth where a
large group of Skrull refugees were hiding, one of them being Talos’ wife Soren, and where the Tesseract
was being kept for safe keeping. There, Carol is faced with the Starforce and the Supreme Intelligence,
which is the artificial intelligence that rules the Kree, and she removes the Kree implant that suppressed
her powers. In the ensuing battle, Carol destroys a Kree bomber, therefore making Ronan the Accuser
and his army retreat. In this battle, the Flerken cat, Goose, swallows the Tesseract and scratches Nick
Fury, blinding him in his left eye. Carol sends Yon-Rogg back to Hala with a warning towards the
Supreme Intelligence. She later leaves to relocate the Skrulls on another planet and hands Fury a
communication device similar to a pager, so as to be able to communicate with her in a case of
emergency even if she is off-planet. Her superhero name is Captain Marvel so as to honor Marv-Vell’s
death. Fury returns the Tesseract to S.H.I.E.L.D., and there are the agents that helped him when Danvers
force-crashed onto the Earth one of them being Phil Coulson, left unscathed for the most part and he
will reprise his role. Nick Fury drafts an initiative to locate heroes with abilities such as Carol’s, naming it
after her Air Force call sign “Avenger”. We can observe later, in 2018, how the activated pager is being
monitored by the now actually formed group of Avengers when Carol seems to be searching for Fury. It
is also shown how Goose regurgitates the Tesseract.
It is worth noting that the storylines are interconnected well, given the fact that Howard Stark in the
1940’s, soon to be father of the well-known Tony Stark, was working for S.H.I.E.L.D. when he
encountered the Tesseract and brought it back to them. Howard was ingenious, much like his ultimately
famous and only son, and he created the first vibranium weapon, an indestructible shield made of a type
of metal which could be located only in Wakanda, East Africa. The “Avengers” initiative Fury drafted
back in 1995 came to life and humans, mutants and even Gods with unique abilities gathered together
to stop villains from destroying the Earth. There is no continuity error and the watcher will be able to
gather more information along the intricate Marvel timeline.
