Monica Rambeau is on my personal list of indispensable Avengers. That Roger Stern run was the one that made me a fan of the team more than any other, and watching become a more and more capable member of the team was a delight.

I’m not married to her being “Captain Marvel,” but she certainly never deserved to lose her mantle or be relegated to a viable candidate for NEXTWAVE. (Which was a great comic, but certainly not an honor.)
