[COLOR=darkgray][color=#f07244][b]◼ Enhanced Physiology[/b][/color]
Carol Danvers' body was genetically reconstructed by Mar'vell to become an ideal blend of Kree and human DNA. Even when her extraordinary powers are inaccessible, her physical condition and abilities far surpass those of a typical human. She demonstrates remarkable strength and endurance, which can be enhanced further by absorbing external energy.[/color]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=#f07244][b]◼ Energy Absorption and Manipulation[/b][/color]
After undergoing experiments by Mar'vell, Carol Danvers developed the ability to absorb and manipulate different forms of energy, including light, heat, radiation, and gravity. She has the capacity to control, absorb, and discharge external energies at will. Her body can harness these energies to temporarily boost her physical capabilities—for example, amplifying her strength and energy blasts to the magnitude of a nuclear explosion. This aspect of her power is the source of her most iconic abilities, such as her photon blasts and flight. Given enough power she can eventually form an almost infinite energy loop in Binary form, however this has yet to occur.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=#f07244][b]◼ Combatent[/b][/color]
Mar'vell began training Carol in Kree martial arts as a part of their early project work, and since the sucess of her merger with the Nega-Bands and being revealed to the US government she has since undergone further hand-to-hand training with a variety of military experts.[/color]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=#f07244][b]◼ Pilot[/b][/color]
Even before meeting Mar'vell, Carol had begun to take part in early cadet training to with an eye on the Air Force, as one of the activities she had shared with her eldest brother as he was training to be a pilot. Part of her training with Mar'vell included further such lessons based on Kree technology.[/color]

[COLOR=darkgray][color=#f07244][b]◼ Linguist[/b][/color]
Beginning first with her time abroad due to her father's various international postings, Carol has always had a keen interest in languages. She is fluent in Spanish and French, and has begun to study Mandarin and Russian as electives, the latter pair of which has only been encouraged since her training with the military began.[/color][/sup]

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][indent]The life of Carol Danvers has not been easy. Early in her life she and her two older brothers would consistently move around following the military career of her father, Joe Danvers, any stresses of such lost on Carol at such a young age. However, her father was honourably discharged following an injury that largely cost him the use of his right leg. Joe had never been a particularly warm or attentive father, but he further adapted to civilian life poorly, even if the worst of his harsh expectations fell upon his two older, and male, children. While her older brothers had known their mother, Carol never did, having gone missing shortly after Carol’s birth, a relationship she certainly felt the absence of keenly.

Early in her time in education, now settled in Boston, Carol became something of an outcast, teased for her devastating home situation, She made few friends, which, combined with the lack of affection, or even basic recognition, from her father, only further compounded her isolation. While she had a single good friend, her main solace was her brothers, who, being substantially older than Carol, would soon be out of the day-to-day picture. This would prove to be even more total than expected, for pushed by their father’s demanding standards and his own expectations, both joined the US Army, careers that were well regarded if tragically short-lived, as both would perish in separate, but simultaneous, Middle Eastern conflicts. Any grasp Joe Danvers had on a sense of family died along with them.

With no sense of family at home, Carol took it upon herself to never be the butt of jokes again among her peers. She shed the small number of true, but equally outcast, friends and instead dominated her social circles. If she couldn’t hold people’s affection, she could hold their respect. Athletic abilities she had honed in sports she had enjoyed were turned on climbing the 'ranks' of highschool cheerleading, and a burgeoning charisma went from brief forays in stage and drama work to holding the attention of her peers. 

As she neared the end of her High School education, after several years of the 'new and improved' Carol Danvers, her abilities began to manifest. Relatively minor changes to her strength, speed and durability soon became increasingly extreme. Her own experimentation with such no doubt revealed her changing nature to an observant watcher. She was approached by Dr Walter Lawson, a research specialist for the US Air Force, at first under the guise of seeking to recruit a promising candidate, and then more truthfully, as Mar-Vell, exile of the Kree. He revealed to Carol that her mother's true name had been Mari-Ell, a fellow fugitive from the Kree Empire, and assistant to the Doctor in his research on Earth. The pair had initially come to Earth on a mission from the Empire, deliberately seeking to splice human and Kree DNA, before eventually defecting to their new home, trading secrets of interstellar intelligence and technology for the US government in exchange for acceptance. The loss of Mari-Ell, for even the Doctor knew not what had happened to her, had been a great harm to his project, but now with her daughter, he could proceed.

Carol was not particularly inclined to assist for the Doctor's own sake, but instead out of a desire for a connection she had lost in any other aspect of life, as well as the suggestion the work could further enhance her abilities. Indeed, the introduction of the ancient Nega-bands to Carol not only destroyed the Kree relic, but supercharged her abilities above and beyond those of even the most powerful of the genetically engineered Kree warriors. As part of Mar-Vell's arrangement with the US government, the success of the project was reported. Carol has taken on the alias of Warbird, and begun to use her powers in the role of a hero, but one that ultimately reports in to the often mysterious leadership of the Pentagon.

[COLOR=DARKGRAY][INDENT]One of the more interesting recent villains that Carol Danvers has faced in the main marvel canon is Star, a woman of similar power level to Carol with an equally (if not more so) troubled background but without the structure of military training to discipline her and instead highly connected to the darker elements of the US military/industrial complex. I thought it would be interesting to take this concept and apply it to Carol herself, with her powers manifesting earlier in her life. Ultimately there is still a good person within Carol who feels a call to use her powers for good, but it is more directly in conflict with her childhood trauma of neglect and loneliness, as well as the trials and tribulations of later high school/early college life.[/INDENT][/COLOR][/cell][/row][/table][hr][/COLOR][/INDENT]
