There are so many superheroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at this point, but the movies have barely scratched the surface of Marvel Comics’ pantheon of heroes. “Captain Marvel” introduces a whole new corner of the Marvel Universe with its focus on Carol Danvers (Brie Larson) and the Kree Empire’s war with the Skrulls, but it also gave us our first encounter with an Earth-based character who will someday become another cosmic hero.
