As the leader of the Avengers,
Monica Rambeau has guided the team through multiple adventures, from a feud with the X-Men (over Magneto) to an epic battle against a new and improved Super-Adaptoid (an old enemy of the team) and its robotic allies (the group known as Heavy Metal).
Under Monica's leadership, the Avengers' H.Q. was moved from New York to the artificial island known as Hydrobase.

After the Kree warrior's death, Marvel Comics quickly introduced the one who would be his replacement.
In the pages of
Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16 (Vol 1, 1982) comes Monica Rambeau, a lieutenant in the New Orleans police force. She is involved in a freak accident with a dangerous weapon of criminal origin.
Bombarded by its rays, Monica is transformed, in true Marvel style, into a meta-human capable of manipulating and assuming the form of any kind of light.
Able to fly, become intangible, reach dizzying speeds, and emit powerful energy blasts, this new Captain Marvel is a character quite distinct from her predecessor.
Monica does not possess the cosmic consciousness granted by Eon to Mar-Vell, nor the title of protector of the universe.
That task will now fall to another hero, Wendell Vaughn, a.k.a Quasar.

Created by Roger Stern and John Romita Jr, the new Captain Marvel also stands out for being one of the most relevant black heroines of this period (along with Storm, leader of the X-Men).
She was integrated into the Avengers team, first on a provisional level (
Avengers #227, Vol 1, 1983) and then on a permanent level (
Avengers #231, Vol 1, also 1983).
After a feud with the villainous Plantman, Monica would eventually be appointed by none other than Captain America himself to serve as the group's chairperson after the events of Avengers Siege, which saw the heroes' mansion attacked by the Masters of Evil.
