I have only ever heard Carol Danvers referred to as Ms. Marvel. When did she get promoted to Captain? 2. Didn't Rogue take Ms. Marvel's powers and put her in a coma? 3. How come Rogue kept the ability to fly when all her other powers fade over time?

This one is a little too She-Captain-America-y and the model in the game looks odd, like something out of the '60s. Can't say I'm overjoyed by her powers either (do I really need a dedicated anti-Bullseye/Spidey/Falcon?), but it is good to have her finally represented in the game. Long overdue. Just wish it was more of a wow overall. Hopefully Rogue gets better treatment in the future.

Yeah, I like the Ms. Marvel costume better, too - but that might just be because it's more from nostalgia. I know it's sometimes talked about in the Marvel Heroes community that Marvel sometimes requests game developers to use specific versions of characters in order to sort of advertise what the current version is - I wonder if that's the case here.

It'll be around for quite some time. The last, oddly cheesecake-y Ms. Marvel costume never really suited the character's personality. And I don't see the Captain America similarity at all, other than having red and blue. It has far more in common with the Kree Captain Marvel's costume -- that of the alien who was the source of her powers in the first place.
