“But Thomas thought Starlin had a promise. He offered him a chance to work on Captain Marvel, a faltering title that Thomas had written himself, before editorial duties pulled him away. The conveniently named Mar-Vell, a warrior of the alien Kree race, had defied his own people to protect earth; now he worked in tandem with Rick Jones, the former teenager sidekick to Hulk, who blossomed into an annoying wannabe rock star.
The characters had agonizingly bland personalities—but that turned out to be just the blank slate Starlin needed”
