With the release of the first full trailer for WandaVision, the upcoming Disney+ MCU series starring Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany as, respectively, Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch and Vision, it's time to catch up on the history of one of the show's supporting characters, Monica Rambeau, who will be played by Teyonah Parris in the series. Parris can be spotted briefly in the WandaVision trailer, apparently being catapulted through some kind of energy field. How this connects to WandaVision's bigger story is unclear at the moment. Watch that moment right here: But this isn’t the character’s first appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe—we saw a young version of her in Captain Marvel—and she has a long, storied past in the comic books. If you don’t know Monica Rambeau and some of the many names she’s had over the years—including Captain Marvel!—let us shine some light on this hero. Monica Rambeau: The All-Terrific Captain Marvel. Caught by surprise, Monica blasted Spider-Man thinking he was another hoodlum; she hadn’t yet learned to fully control her powers. She was the new Captain Marvel, an unorthodox lieutenant in the New Orleans Police Department before she was granted staggering powers as the result of being blasted by extra-dimensional energy. Turned into pure electromagnetic energy herself, Monica can fly, travel close to the speed of light, convert her body into energy, and fire photon blasts. Monica went to the Avengers for help controlling her powers, and she became a member of the team. A natural leader thanks to her commanding personality and time in the police force, it wasn’t not long before she was promoted to leader of the Avengers. However, when she was left powerless after expending all of her energy in a battle, Monica returned to patrolling the New Orleans harbor for a brief period. Naturally, her powers returned (because comics), and in time she would choose two new monikers: Photon, and later Pulsar. By the time of the Infinity storyline in 2013, Monica had taken yet another superhero name, Spectrum. She joined the Mighty Avengers alongside Luke Cage, Power Man, White Tiger, and the Superior Spider-Man to stop Proxima Midnight from destroying New York City. Later, Monica took her place in the Ultimates lineup with Carol Danvers—Captain Marvel—before returning once again to the Avengers. Photon, Pulsar, and More: Monica Rambeau’s Many Superhero Names. After some time passed, the son of Mar-Vell, named Genis-Vell, met Monica and offered to let her keep the title after his initial misgivings. She declined, saying she had picked a new name to “stop living in other people’s shadows.” She chose Photon. (In the film version of Captain Marvel, Photon is Maria Rambeau’s call sign, a nice nod to the comics.) Genis-Vell later decided he wanted the name Photon when his body was transformed into photonic energy after being grievously injured. “I can’t be my father--I have to be something different,” he told Monica as they brainstormed superhero names over drinks. She finally settled on Pulsar, saying simply, “I like that one.” After a while, Monica just went by, well, Monica. This is likely the name most people think of when they think of the character, for clarity’s sake. But once again, Monica changed her superhero name to Spectrum after taking the lead on the team known as the Mighty Avengers. She was most recently part of this year’s “No Road Home” storyline with her fellow Avengers, still bearing the name Spectrum, so that might be the one that finally sticks. Teyonah Parris as Monica Rambeau in the MCU and on WandaVision. In the comics, Monica’s origin story is tied to the nefarious Roxxon Corporation in New Orleans—which viewers of Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger are very familiar with. If she is a superhero in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, will her powers be tied to Roxxon? Or directly to Wanda Maximoff herself due to the events of WandaVision? It’s almost impossible to predict what kind of role Monica Rambeau will ultimately take in the MCU. No matter what it is, we can’t wait to see her light up the screen.

The appearance of Monica Rambeau in the WandaVision show has sent her first appearance from The Amazing Spider-Man Annual #16 in 1982 and created by Roger Stern and John Romita Jr rocketing in value on eBay, naturally. The second Captain Marvel, she gained her superpowers after being bombarded by extradimensional energy, and had the power to transform herself into electromagnetic energy, also letting her fly at lightspeed. She joined and eventually became the leader of the Avengers for a time, and was also a member of Nextwave. As the name Captain Marvel has come and gone, she was also known as Photon, Pulsar and Spectrum. She appeared as a small child in the Captain Marvel movie, and Wandavision established that her mother, Moira Rambeau and friend to Carol Danvers, founded SWORD. Okay, so SPOILERS ahead at this point. Monica Rambeau in WandaVision is a SWORD operative and it seems that her journey into and out of The Hex on a repeated basis is creating powers of her own. But in confrontation with Wanda Maximoff in today's episode on Disney+, her powers seem to be more "physical" than her original electromagnetic and light powers from the comic books. Indeed, they are closer to the altered powers from the Captain Marvel one-shot from 1989 by Dwayne McDuffie and Mark Bright , who also worked on Icon together. Dwayne McDuffie had a Master's Degree in physics and channelled a little of that when Mr Fantastic explained the nature of her new powers.

    On May 9. 2002, Bruce Pelz, the chair of Conagerie, passed away. Bruce knew the value of getting things done on time and meeting one's obligations. On May 6 he told me that he would be getting his chairman’s message to me on Thursday, May 9. It was posted to my com­ puter at 5:05 pm on that day. An hour later, Bruce collapsed. On the next page, unedited, is this message sent by Bruce. From its lone you can see that he wants everybody to enjoy the con.

  • Science Fiction Video Games Focuses on Games That Are Part of the Science Fiction Genre, Rather Than Set in Magical Milieux Or Exaggerated Versions of Our Own World
    SCIENCE FICTION Science Fiction Video Games focuses on games that are part of the science fiction genre, rather than set in magical milieux or exaggerated versions of our own world. Unlike many existing books and websites that cover some of the same material, this video games book emphasizes critical analysis, especially the analysis of narrative. The author analyzes narrative via an original categorization of story forms in games. He also discusses video games as works of science fiction, including their characteristic themes and the links between them and other forms of science fiction. Neal Tringham The beginning chapters explore game design and the history of science-fictional video games. The majority of the text deals with individual science-fictional games and the histories and natures of their various forms, such as the puzzle-based adventure and the more exploratory and immediate computer role-playing game (RPG). Features • Focuses exclusively on video games from the science fiction genre—the first book to do so • Provides critical descriptions and encyclopedic overviews of a wide range of the most important science fiction video games • Explores the connections between science fiction video games and other science fiction forms, such as tabletop RPGs, film, and television • Explains the themes that define science fiction video games • Presents a well-researched account of the history of science fiction games About the Author Neal Tringham is a videogame developer, a former astrophysicist, and a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. He is also a contributing editor of and contributor to the third edition of the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, winner of the 2012 Hugo Award for Best Related Work.
