Instead, the comic established that Carol’s mother is, in fact, a member of the alien race the Kree, making Carol a Kree-human hybrid from birth as opposed to the result of an accident related to a male hero. The Psyche-Magnetron, instead of altering Carol’s DNA, “activated” Carol’s inherent superpowers, her mother explains, making them in her words, “not borrowed. Not a gift. Not an accident” — a purposeful shift that befits the company’s repositioning of the character as a model of female empowerment.
Remember kids, if you are mentored or helped by a man, then your success means nothing. Anyone still want to try and defend this ideology?
Also, its shocking how much they deviated from the archetypal story that surrounds the character's origin. Captain Marvel is the not the heroic ideal archetype, she's not Superman. Her entire story is built off of the fact that she's a flawed character who struggles toward the ideal. She's spiderman, except with more powers. Its pretty essential to all of her stories, and her being 'destined' to have the power is going to poison a lot of the themes and symbolism used in her stories.
But hell, they've been destroying it for the past 10 years so, meh. It was pretty clear at the start of the Danvers run they didn't realize the themes behind her, and began using her as a tool for feminist rhetoric. It's sad. The character appeared in Spiderman for her first issue for a reason. (Meanwhile, Disney had to nuke the idea of Rey coming from special lineage for the same damn reason as Marvel needs to come from special lineage...The whole ideological cult can't even nail down the meaning of their bullshit.)
