Carol Danvers
Carol Danvers is one of the greatest female character in the comics of marvel. Her full name is Carol Susan Jane Danvers. She was the eldest child in her family. Her father was a contractor who believed that the only way to achieve success is through hard work. She insisted to her father to work as hard as her both younger brothers but her father did not believe that a woman can be equal to a man. And when the financial crisis stuck the family her father choose Carol’s younger brother (the middle one) to get a proper education even thou Carols grades were way more better than her brother. Here we see that she was debarred from taking education just because her father thought that she was not worth it. A few months later she turned 18 and she turned against her father and joined air force. She had enough courage to stand against her father and pursue her dreams. She joined the air force intending to be a pilot and got a college degree through military. Even though she was debarred for having education she somehow managed to graduate she fought for herself because she believed that nobody could restrict her from becoming whatever she wants to become. This is the first gender constrain that she faced but it gave  her more courage to present her self as equal to men.

While flying an experimental jet through the Arabic air space she was captured by a man known as Ghazi Rashid. Ghazi Rashid tortured her for several days but she managed to escape from there even though she broke her leg and was severally injured. There she is portrayed as a strong female who is not in need of anyone and can manage things by herself. People look up to such female characters because ‘FEMALE’ word according to society is described as weak. Besides this anyone could have just given up where as she took the risk to escape the place. This act of her symbolises what FEMINISM is. Feminism is not just empowerment it means that in every sense a woman should be equal to a man. We are suppose to give up those etiquette which society has developed for a woman.

Carol escaped and provided information to the intelligence community. This incident led her to join the air force intelligence. She has been labelled as marvel’s biggest female hero, a feminist icon and Marvel’s mightiest avenger (quiet possibly). It is noted that carols initial appearance as a strong character changes over time even though she gained super powers. She initially possessed superhuman strength, stamina and physical durability. She could fly six times the speed of sound. She could absorb other forms of energy such as electricity. Despite having superhero powers she is categorised as QUIET possibly Marvels mightiest character not the most mightiest character. She is a hero as she fought a lot of crucial circumstances alone and also keeps the courage to face them. A lot of people have had underestimated her character but in the end they end up being awestruck.

Altogether she has been portrayed as a strong female character who was given the title of Ms. Marvel which is a great achievement. But the title of Ms. Marvel have been derived from the male character that is caption Marvel. Here also she is not given a new name she is named after some other character. Is this fair? They say that she is feminism icon but this icon is not given a name of her own. Although people accept her to be a strong character but they are not willing to think for a new  for her, she has been given great titles. These days audience are becoming acceptable to strong female character which is good because such characters can initiate change in the society and will male people understand the meaning of feminism which is equality of man and woman in every sense.
