Disney/Marvel Mashup Comic Asks: What if Minnie Mouse Became Captain Marvel?

As a seasoned gamer and comic book enthusiast with over three decades under my belt, I must say that the Marvel Universe has always been a playground for imagination and innovation. But this latest announcement about Minnie Mouse taking on the mantle of Ms. Marvel in “Marvel & Disney: What If…? Minnie Became Captain Marvel” has me positively giddy with excitement!


1977 saw the debut of a groundbreaking new superheroine, emulating the captivating style of Spider-Man, who was none other than Ms. Marvel, also known as Carol Danvers. Originating from the Captain Marvel series, where Danvers initially appeared without superpowers within Mar-Vell’s circle, Ms. Marvel #1 emerged as a reflection of feminism and Gerry Conway’s description of “the contemporary woman’s pursuit of self-awareness, liberation, and identity.” In 1977, Conway penned that the character known as Ms. Marvel was not a Marvel Girl; rather, she was a woman, neither Miss nor Mrs., but simply Ms., emphasizing her independence and individuality.

Approximately half a century after Carol Danvers, who previously went by the aliases Binary and Warbird before assuming the role of Captain Marvel, has influenced future superheroes such as Kamala Khan, also known as Ms. Marvel. However, another renowned character is taking on the title of Ms. Marvel: Minnie Mouse from Disney.
