admonition ! This clause contains freebooter for Avengers Vol . 9 # 1Captain Americahas always beenCaptain Marvel ’s biggest advocate , and his new nickname for her just cue devotee of that fact , as it perfectly captures the essence of their relationship while highlighting the immense respect he has for Captain Marvel .
Like Steve Rogers , who served in the military machine during World War II as Captain America , Carol Danvers also process in the war machine as a U.S. Air Force paladin archetype . While her metre in the armed forces was efficaciously cut short when she break her latent power ( while Steve Rogers ’ military career did n’t set about until after he got his ) , Danvers continued to fight for what she believe in upon joining the Avengers . She did so after earning the social station of Major in the Air Force , which is actually higher than her ego - proclaimed ‘ captain ’ title . Interestingly enough , Captain America is also cook himself , as he would have really been considered a Colonel ( which is technically the tantamount rank of Captain in the Navy , so penny-pinching enough ) . Aside from the technicalities regarding their military ranks , Captain America and Captain Marvel are both ‘ captain ’ on the Avengers , and their military background only impart to their capabilities as efficient and strategical leaders . This connection through shared experiences is the bedrock for their relationship , though Captain America ’s cognomen for Danvers goes far beyond their military screen background .
Captain America Calls Captain Marvel ‘Cap’ as a Sign of Respect
InAvengersVol . 9 # 1 by Jed MacKay and C.F. Villa , Captain Marvel is traveling the globe , recruiting hero for her new - and - improved Avengers lineup . One of the Italian sandwich she knew she had to get on the squad was Captain America -Sam Wilson ’s Captain America , that is . When she near him , Carol playfully greet Sam as ‘ Cap ’ , and Sam turn back the greeting in kind . However , it was n’t until Steve join in and call Carol ‘ Cap ’ that this funny bit became implausibly meaningful . By shout Captain Marvel ‘ Cap ’ , Steve is essentially read that Carol is as much Captain Marvel as he is Captain America - which in reality goes back to when Carol first took up that moniker .
Captain America Pushed Carol to Take on the Mantle
Back inCaptain MarvelVol . 7 # 1 , Carol Danvers is making the transition from Ms. Marvel to Captain Marvel , effectively arrogate the title that once belonged to the late Mar - Vell as her own , and no one has her back more than Steve Rogers . In terms of the title alone , Carol already rose above the rank of Captain to Major , so being prognosticate Captain Marvel instead of Ms. Marvel is still technically downplay her experience , and Rogers is probably one of the few Avengers who can appreciate that fact . Though away from their connection through a shared military scope - which unquestionably laid the groundwork for their relationship - Rogers supported Danvers because he recognise the making of a true drawing card within her , and he believed it was high time Danvers join him as an prescribed ‘ Cap ’ of Earth ’s Mightiest Heroes .
Steve Rogers is a legacy hero on the Avengers , and the first real loss leader of the team ( the founding members all consider turns as leader before leaving the team to Rogers less than twenty issues in ) . In other words , Steve made the Avengers what it is today , and that was after cement the name ‘ Captain America ’ as a mainstay title with a legacy that will last thousands of years - proven true byGuardians of the Galaxy ’s ‘ Captain America ’ . So , now that Captain Marvel is accept it upon herself to build the squad back up to its former glory - a halo established byCaptain Americahimself - Steve reassert his faith in Carol ’s delegacy just as he proved his support for her when she becameCaptain Marvelto begin with , and he does this with the seemingly innocuous cognomen , ‘ Cap ’ , that ’s secretly a major sign of regard .
Avengers Vol . 9 # 1by Marvel Comics is available now .
