A lesser-known member of the Fantastic Four, Sharon Ventura first appeared in 1985, long after the "real" Ms. Marvel. Sharon was strictly a supporting player, and was never the main character of the Ms. Marvel comic books. A talented and physically superb specimen, she became a professional wrestler, breaking away from the evil influences of the sport to use her prowess under the name of Ms. Marvel. However, in a 1988 edition, she underwent a mutation similar to Ben Grimm's, and began calling herself the She-Thing. The character more familiarly known as Ms. Marvel, is actually Carol Danvers, who made her debut in 1968. An Air Force pilot, she eventually joined the CIA, and filled a purely human role, while brushing shoulders with other Marvel characters, and becoming a love interest of Captain Marvel, who would be the reason for her becoming Ms. Marvel. The Captain's Kree race had invented a device, which when turned on Carol, altered her DNA to resemble theirs, and gave her super human strengths, including a seventh sense. For there, she became a focal character of her own, appearing in her own Ms. Marvel comic books up until 1990, when she was once more relegated to a supporting role for the Avengers.In 2006 she once again got her own series and became a big part of Tony Starks' Civil War with the Mighty Avengers vs New Avengers.
