Monica Rambeau

: "I lost the person closest to me, too. The worst thing I can think of has already happened to me and I can't change it. I can't undo it. I can't control this pain anymore. And I don't think I want to, because it's my truth."
: ―Monica Rambeau to Wanda Maximoff[src]
Captain Monica Rambeau, Ph.D. is the daughter of the late Maria Rambeau. During her childhood, she befriended Carol Danvers, a friend of her mother, and refused to believe the reports that Danvers had died in a mysterious plane crash. Rambeau was amazed and happy when Danvers returned six years later with considerable abilities and convinced her own mother to join Danvers in a mission to help Talos to save Skrull refugees from Kree forces. Before the mission, Rambeau helped Danvers to choose the colors of her outfit which she would later on use as Captain Marvel.
After Danvers returned to space, Maria founded S.W.O.R.D. on Earth. Rambeau eventually followed in her mother's footsteps by joining S.W.O.R.D. in her adult life. In 2018, Monica was killed in the Snap while accompanying her mother for cancer treatments. She returned to life five years later but discovered her mother had passed due to complications from cancer. While recovering from the sudden loss, Monica was dragged into a supernatural crisis in the town of Westview, where she was instrumental in saving the townsfolk from the Hex forged by Wanda Maximoff. Crossing the Hex's barrier multiple times caused Rambeau's cells to be rewritten, resulting in her developing superhuman abilities. When the Westview Anomaly was resolved, Rambeau was recruited by a Skrull who informed her that Nick Fury wanted her to join S.A.B.E.R.
Three years later, Rambeau was tasked with investigating the Universal Neural Teleportation Network. This led to Rambeau having her light-based powers become entangled with those of Danvers and teenage superhero Kamala Khan, which resulted in them swapping places anytime they used their powers at the same time. Forming the Marvels, the trio fought against the Kree Accuser Dar-Benn, who had been using the power of the Quantum Bands to create jump points to steal other planets' resources to repair her own, destabilizing the universe as a result. Dar-Benn then tore open a rift in the Multiverse, prompting Rambeau to cross over to the other side in order to close it. Now stranded in an alternate universe, she was saved by an alternate version of her mother named Binary, who brought her to the X-Mansion in order to be studied by Beast.
== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
==== Losing Aunt Carol ====
: "You didn't get along with your parents so Mom said we became your real family."
: ―Monica Rambeau to Carol Danvers[src]
Rambeau was the daughter of Maria Rambeau. She came to consider her mother's friend, Carol Danvers, as her own family since Danvers did not get along with her parents and spent a lot of time with the Rambeaus. Rambeau and Danvers were very close, to the point that Rambeau called Danvers "Auntie Carol," while Danvers nicknamed her "Lieutenant Trouble." Danvers would stargaze with Rambeau at night in her backyard, telling her stories of the constellations. Over time, Rambeau collected various objects of Danvers' life, including photographs of different moments in Danvers' past.
Rambeau was very saddened when she learned that Danvers had disappeared in a mysterious plane crash. However, she refused to believe that Danvers had died and remained convinced for years that her friend had somehow survived the crash and would return soon. Rambeau preciously kept all the memorabilia of Danvers' life, including her leather jacket, although she was forbidden to wear it after spilling ketchup on it.
=== Alien Conflict ===
==== Carol Danvers' Return ====
: "Mom, it's Auntie Carol. I knew it, everybody said you were dead but we knew they were lying."
: ―Monica Rambeau to Maria Rambeau[src]
In 1995, while hanging out in a plane owned by Maria Rambeau, Rambeau saw a woman approaching and immediately identified her as Carol Danvers. Overjoyed to see that her friend had indeed survived the crash, Rambeau rushed to Danvers, only to figure out that Danvers did not recognize her. Rambeau was even more surprised when Danvers told her and Maria her story involving extraterrestrials shapeshifters, but she was amazed when Danvers demonstrated her powers by boiling water by mere contact with a kettle.
While Maria and Danvers talked to each other, Rambeau met Goose, a Flerken who had been traveling with her and Nick Fury. Rambeau pet Goose, who purred in response. Monica brought Goose lots of things, including a television, a bowling ball, a radio, a mailbox, a plane rotor, a chair, a sandwich, a rubber duck, a desk, a lamp, and an ironing board. Goose then ate all of the objects with her alien tentacles, making Rambeau cheer.
==== Meeting the Skrulls ====
: "You have the chance to fly the coolest mission in the history of missions. And you're gonna give it up to sit on the couch and watch Fresh Prince with me? I just think that you should consider the kind of example you're setting for your daughter."
: ―Monica Rambeau to Maria Rambeau[src]
In an attempt to bring back Carol Danvers' memories, Rambeau, helped by Nick Fury, went in her bedroom to pick up all the objects connected to Danvers she had kept. She then detailed several of them to Danvers, hoping that something would match in Danvers' mind. Having forgotten the leather jacket, she briefly left to get it, and on her way back was approached by her mother. Rambeau then returned into the house, only to find her mother already there with Talos, as Rambeau had actually encountered Norex, disguised as her mother.
Rambeau was ordered by her mother to wait outside when Danvers, Maria, Fury, and Talos listened to the black box recordings of Danvers' plane crash. Later, as Danvers planned on getting into space and asked Maria to be her co-pilot, Rambeau insisted that her mother should go, arguing that working with dangerous technology was what Maria used to do. Rambeau jokingly concluded on the example Maria would give to her daughter, which convinced Maria to join in the mission, much to Danvers' delight.
As they prepared for the mission, during which Rambeau would remain with her grandparents, Rambeau was approached by Danvers, who praised her determination and asked her to choose the new colors of her Starforce Uniform. In the end, the colors were based on the United States Air Force T-shirt Rambeau was wearing, giving the uniform the red, blue and yellow colors Danvers would later permanently use.
==== Captain Marvel's Farewell ====
: "I'll be back before you know it.""Maybe I can fly up and meet you halfway.""Only if you learn to glow, like your Auntie Carol.""Or maybe I'll build a spaceship. You don't know."
: ―Carol Danvers, Monica Rambeau and Nick Fury[src]
Rambeau was reunited with her mother Maria and Carol Danvers as they successfully returned from their mission against the Kree Starforce. During the following dinner, Rambeau played Uno with G'iah, and then suggested that the Skrulls could remain with them.
However, she was told that it would not be safe, and that Danvers would find a new home for them. Rambeau then claimed that she could meet with Danvers in space, and when Nick Fury remarked that she would have to gain superpowers, she quickly retorted that she might be able to build a spaceship someday. Upon Danvers' departure, Rambeau shared a loving farewell hug with her friend before watching her taking off in complete amazement.
=== S.W.O.R.D. Agent ===
==== Erased by the Snap ====
: "You disappeared."
: ―Highland to Monica Rambeau[src]
Rambeau continued her life in Louisiana while her mother, Maria Rambeau, founded S.W.O.R.D.. Monica attended Rice University and graduated with a doctorate in Physics and Astronomy. Monica then became a S.W.O.R.D. agent, working directly under her mother. In S.W.O.R.D., she underwent astronaut training and made local headlines, getting interviewed for the newspaper. In the interview, Monica cited Carol Danvers as inspiration for her space travel. At the end of the same year she finished her training, Monica went on her first mission to space. Eventually, Maria was diagnosed with cancer. In 2018, Rambeau accompanied her mother to the hospital Parkside, where she underwent surgery. On the day her mother was scheduled to be released, Rambeau sat by her mother's hospital bed and fell asleep, thinking back on memories with her from 1995. Rambeau then died in her sleep as the Snap occurred, unaware of what had transpired.
==== Returned in the Blip ====
: "I've been in that room since she came back from the surgery. I mean, I might have fallen asleep, but no longer than twenty minutes. Where's my mom?""Your mom? She died, honey."
: ―Monica Rambeau and Highland[src]
Five years later, in 2023, Rambeau was resurrected in the Blip, and woke up believing she had been asleep for twenty minutes. However, she was taken aback when she saw that her mother was not in her bed. Rambeau left the hospital room to find other civilians being resurrected, and Parkside's capacity doubling. Rambeau frantically rushed to find a nurse for her mother's whereabouts, but all the staff were overwhelmed with the return of the Snap victims.
Eventually, Rambeau found Doctor Highland, who survived the Snap and was still working at Parkside. When asked about her mother, Doctor Highland explained to Rambeau that Maria had passed away in 2020 from cancer complications after it came back, two years after Rambeau died in the Snap. Initially confused, Rambeau had little time to grasp and comprehend this information, as she realized that she herself had been dead for five years.
==== Back at S.W.O.R.D. ====
Two weeks following the Blip, Rambeau returned to the S.W.O.R.D. Headquarters and met Tyler Hayward, who had taken on the role of director of S.W.O.R.D., in the wake of her mother's death. Rambeau was told by Hayward that the Earth and S.W.O.R.D. had been different since Rambeau's temporary death, due to the Snap.
=== Westview Anomaly ===
==== Investigating Westview ====
: "What is it?""Some sort of... energy field.""Careful, Rambeau. Captain Rambeau! Watch it. Rambeau!"
: ―Jimmy Woo and Monica Rambeau[src]
Having been grounded at S.W.O.R.D., Rambeau was sent on a missing persons case by Tyler Hayward. Once she arrived at Westview, Rambeau met FBI agent Jimmy Woo, who approached her and explained the situation. He exclaimed that according to the Eastview Sheriff's Office, the place had never actually existed. Rambeau walked up to the two cops sitting next to a Welcome to Westview sign and, when she asked the cops about Westview, Sheriff Miller exclaimed that it never existed, despite the fact that they were from Eastview. Rambeau and Woo then walked over to the energy field to check out, as Rambeau then touched the field and was sucked into a strange reality.
=== Strange Reality ===
==== Town Committee Meeting ====
: "I actually don't know what I'm doing here.""I'm starting to feel that way myself. I'm Wanda.""I'm, uh... Geraldine."
: ―"Geraldine" and Wanda Maximoff[src]
Once she was trapped inside the Westview Anomaly, Rambeau, having been mind-controlled by Wanda Maximoff, took on the identity of a woman named Geraldine. While a group of women of Westview attended a meeting for the small-town talent show, Geraldine and Maximoff began to get closer, although heavily annoying Dottie Jones.
==== Small Town Talent Show ====
: "I have to ask. One second, I'm backstage and in the next, I'm in a dark cubby hole. How'd you do it?""Oh, a magician never reveals his secrets. He leaves that to his assistant.""And she's not talking."
: ―"Geraldine", Vision and Wanda Maximoff[src]
Later on, Geraldine hosted the talent show and got caught up by the consequences of Vision's gum problem, as Vision forgot to put Maximoff inside of the Cabinet of Mysteries. As a result, Maximoff, desperate for the town's approval, teleported Geraldine inside the cabinet. After that last act, Maximoff fixed Vision, and attempted leaving without noticing. However, Dottie Jones surprisingly gave them the award and, while she was receiving this, Geraldine asked Vision how he managed to get her inside the cabinet, to which he claimed that a magician never revealed his secrets. Vision left that to his assistant to which Maximoff replied that she would not be talking.
==== Wanda Maximoff's Pregnancy ====
: "It's coming. Oh. The baby's coming.""You're pregnant?"
: ―Wanda Maximoff and "Geraldine"[src]
When Wanda Maximoff started having contractions due to her pregnancy, she inadvertently altered reality. As a result, Geraldine went to the Vision Residence to borrow a bucket because all of the pipes in her ceiling burst.
Unaware of what was going on in Maximoff's home, Geraldine began to tell a story about work. Geraldine eventually headed into the nursery. There she noticed the crib and discovered that Maximoff was pregnant, exactly at the moment that Maximoff started going into labor. Geraldine attempted to get Maximoff ready to give birth and then noticed things around the home going haywire once again, but said to herself that she was sure there is a perfectly logical explanation for all of this. Eventually, Geraldine delivered Maximoff's baby boy and handed him over to Maximoff.
==== Ejected from Reality ====
: "I'm a twin. I had a brother. His name was Pietro.""He was killed by Ultron, wasn't he?""What did you say?"
: ―Wanda Maximoff and Monica Rambeau[src]
Back inside, Wanda Maximoff revealed to Geraldine that she herself is a twin. She appears overcome with emotion as she brings up Pietro Maximoff. before singing to her newborn babies a Sokovian lullaby. Geraldine was confused and reminded Maximoff that Pietro was killed by Ultron during the Battle of Sokovia. This made Maximoff quickly grow angry and confrontational, as Maximoff asked Geraldine to repeat what she said. Geraldine offered to take a shift rocking the babies, but Maximoff instead asked her to leave, as she noticed a strange necklace Geraldine was wearing. Maximoff once again questioned Geraldine about the symbol on her necklace and asked who she really was. Geraldine became visibly flustered and could not answer any of Maximoff's questions.
Secretly, Maximoff had then used her powers to eject Rambeau out of Westview through her unbridled fury. Rambeau was thrown out through an invisible barrier protected by towering pylons shielding Westview from the rest of the world, hurling through the air and landing in a field outside the S.W.O.R.D. Response Base. As she drifted in and out of consciousness after being blasted outside, several S.W.O.R.D. SUVs and trucks with armed soldiers, and a helicopter, arrived and tended to her. She then told the S.W.O.R.D agents that Maximoff was the one who created the barrier.
==== Returning to Work ====
: "Wanda's not a terrorist.""By your own account, you described the experience of being under her mind-control as 'excruciating, terrifying, a violation.'""My point is, I don't believe she has a political agenda or any inclination toward destruction."
: ―Monica Rambeau and Tyler Hayward[src]
The next day, Rambeau was questioned about her experience inside the Hex. She explained feeling pain, loss, and grief, as well as hearing Maximoff in her head. Jimmy Woo and Darcy Lewis accompanied Rambeau to a briefing after Lewis noticed her scans were blank.
At the briefing, Tyler Hayward identified Maximoff as the "principal victimizer" and Woo explained her history, as well as defending her against Hayward. Rambeau also defended Maximoff, saying she only survived her experience in the Hex because Maximoff protected her. To make Maximoff seem more dangerous, Hayward showed everyone in the room footage he claimed was of Maximoff stealing the corpse of Vision, which went against both the Sokovia Accords and the Vision's will, claiming she disobeyed his wishes to not be a weapon. In reality, the footage was of Hayward showing Maximoff the body of Vision, and her shattering glass to "feel" him.
Rambeau, in an attempt to re-enter Westview, enlisted the help of Major Aly Goodner. Rambeau then explained to Woo that Billy and Tommy were Maximoff's children and that everything that's been happening inside the Hex was real. Woo and Lewis remained initially skeptical of Maximoff having such abilities, but Rambeau pointed out that Maximoff almost took Thanos out on her own. Woo replied that Captain Marvel almost did the same. This, along with Lewis asking if Captain Marvel received her powers from an Infinity Stone, led Rambeau to change the topic and refocused on Maximoff.
Rambeau found her 70’s-style attire, which she assured to Woo and Lewis was real. She grabbed Woo’s gun and shot the outfit, but it remained unscathed. Rambeau then realized the clothes were 87% Kevlar, similar to her bulletproof vest, which proved that Maximoff was rewriting reality. Rambeau wondered what would happen if they sent something from that time period into the Hex.
S.W.O.R.D. then sent a 90-era drone into the Hex, with Rambeau operating the controls. Rambeau attempted to speak to Maximoff, but she was unable to. Hayward then ordered another S.W.O.R.D. agent to fire a missile at Maximoff, much to the dismay and shock of Rambeau. However, the signal was lost, and Rambeau expressed her outrage at Hayward for his actions.
==== Confronted by Maximoff ====
: "Wanda, I didn't know the drones were armed. But you know that, don't you? A town full of civilians. And you, a telepath, brought a S.W.O.R.D. Agent into your home. You trusted me to help deliver your babies. On some level, Wanda, you know I am an ally. I wanna help you."
: ―Monica Rambeau to Wanda Maximoff[src]
Once an alarm began to sound to signal another breach at the edge of the Westview Anomaly, Rambeau joined the rest of the S.W.O.R.D. agents, as they rushed to the border of the Hex. There, Rambeau witnessed Wanda Maximoff emerging from the Hex, dragging their destroyed S.W.O.R.D. Drone with her. Maximoff warned S.W.O.R.D. to stay out of her home, before Rambeau implores Maximoff to trust her, and that she knew she was an ally. Maximoff claimed that she had what she wanted, and that nobody could take it from her again. She then used her powers to have the soldiers turn their guns on Tyler Hayward, before she turned around and re-entered the Hex, turning it red and fortifying the Hex.
==== Relieved from Duty ====
: "Maximoff was never gonna negotiate with us. We take her out, this whole nightmare ends.""We can't outgun her. And clearly antagonizing her is only making things worse. If Wanda is the problem, she has to be our solution."
: ― Tyler Hayward and Monica Rambeau[src]
After S.W.O.R.D. returned to the base, Rambeau confronted Tyler Hayward for antagonizing Maximoff, while Darcy Lewis, teased Hayward for nearly getting killed by his own men. Hayward remained convinced that taking out Maximoff was their only option, but Rambeau told him that that would only end in disaster for them, as Maximoff was more powerful. Hayward, claiming Rambeau was incapable of being objective, ordered her, Jimmy Woo, and Lewis off the base. However, Rambeau and Woo overpowered the S.W.O.R.D. agents, and snuck back onto the base.
Rambeau informed Woo and Lewis that her contact would be arriving with her method of re-entering the Hex in the next hour. In response, Lewis attempted to dissuade her, revealing that her exposure in the Hex has rewritten her cell DNA, but Rambeau remained determined to help Maximoff. Woo accompanied Rambeau, while Lewis stayed behind to breach Hayward’s remaining firewalls.
After Maximoff expanded the Hex, Rambeau and Woo witnessed it from their Jeep, but had already left in time to escape the expansion from reaching them.
==== Gaining Her Powers ====
: "I can get through.""Monica! No!"
: ―Monica Rambeau and Jimmy Woo[src]
Rambeau and Jimmy Woo retrieved the email that Darcy Lewis sent them about Project Cataract, learning that Tyler Hayward was unsuccessful at attempting to bring Vision back online. Rambeau and Woo then met up with Major Aly Goodner, who had delivered an armored S.W.O.R.D. Space Rover, theorized to be able to safely penetrate through the Hex.
Rambeau prepared to re-enter Westview. However, the rover collided with the barrier. This led Rambeau and Goodner to discover that the barrier's density matched that of the rover and altered it into a truck. Due to this Rambeau was forced to eject from the vehicle. Despite protests from Woo, she decided to breach the barrier herself.
Rambeau then began pushing through, but found herself being overwhelmed by the intense power of the Hex, which started to pull her apart. However, Rambeau managed to pull herself together, reflecting on her journey up until this point, in particular her relationship with her mother, and was able to push through the resistance and break through to the other side. Having gone through the Hex a third time, Rambeau's DNA was altered and she gained powers, such as spectral vision.
==== Confronting Wanda ====
: "You and Hayward differ. He's gonna burn Westview to the ground just to get what he wants. Don't let him make you the villain.""Maybe I already am."
: ―Monica Rambeau and Wanda Maximoff[src]
Rambeau then barged into the Vision Residence, attempting to warn Wanda Maximoff about Tyler Hayward's agenda. However, Maximoff angrily pushed Rambeau out of the house, and into the street, gaining the attention of all of Maximoff's neighbors. Maximoff accused Rambeau of lying about everything. Rambeau informed Maximoff that Hayward would destroy Westview to eliminate her, and attempted to get her to let go of her past, referencing how she lost her mother. However, before Rambeau could convince Maximoff that she was telling the truth, Agnes intervened and carried Maximoff away to her house, claiming Rambeau had overstayed her welcome.
Rambeau snooped around the outside of Agnes' home, and found an entrance into the basement lair, only to be confronted by "Pietro Maximoff", who proceeded to capture Rambeau.
==== Ending the Anomaly ====
: "You don't hate me?""Given the chance and given your power, I'd bring my mom back. I know I would."
: ―Wanda Maximoff and Monica Rambeau[src]
Inside Agatha Harkness' home, Rambeau was left trapped by "Pietro Maximoff", who refused to let her leave. She found a document regarding the property, revealing that Harkness did not own the house, but rather "Pietro", whose real name is Ralph Bohner. Rambeau found an Enchanted Necklace on Bohner. Once Rambeau removed it, Bohner was freed from his enthrallment, and Rambeau escaped.
When Tyler Hayward attempted to shoot Billy and Tommy Maximoff, Rambeau rushed in and used her body to shield the twins, but missed one. However, it was stopped by Billy's telekinesis. Hayward attempted to use his Humvee to ram the three, but was stopped by a food truck driven by Darcy Lewis.
Once she had subdued Harkness, and erased the Hex, Vision, and her children, Wanda Maximoff returned to the scene of the battle, where she met Rambeau. She apologized to her for everything she had done, but Rambeau admitted she would have done the same to bring back Maria Rambeau. When the authorities arrived, Rambeau watched Maximoff fly away.
=== Joining S.A.B.E.R. ===
==== Called to Space ====
: "I was sent by an old friend of your mother's. He heard you've been grounded. He'd like to meet with you."
: ―FBI Skrull Agent to Monica Rambeau[src]
Rambeau then reunited with Jimmy Woo, in charge of the FBI's Westview Investigation, as Tyler Hayward was escorted away in handcuffs. She was then called into the local theatre by an FBI agent, who revealed herself to be a Skrull sent by Nick Fury, regarding an intergalactic mission. She was then recruited to S.A.B.E.R..
==== Investigating the Wormhole ====
Rambeau, aboard the S.A.B.E.R. Space Station, went to investigate a problem outside the station with her partners, Dag and Talia. They joked that Rambeau should use her new powers to fix the problem when suddenly there was a surge in the Jump Points. Dag and Talia asked Rambeau to investigate the surge, to which she agreed.
As she was attempting to talk to Nick Fury while heading towards the wormhole, her communication device got mixed up with Captain Marvel's, who was investigating a surge on MB-418, creating an awkward moment. Rambeau said that she did not want to speak to Danvers after all that time over a communication device. Danvers was overjoyed to hear Rambeau's voice for the first time in over 30 years, but upon hearing how her niece felt, she focused back on her mission.
As Danvers got close to the Jump Point on MB-418, she reported that it appeared to be stuck. Meanwhile, Fury was erratically cutting out on Rambeau's end, which made it very hard to make out what he was saying. Rambeau repeatedly asked Fury if he could hear her, to no avail. As Rambeau and Danvers both nearly touched their respective wormholes, they violently switched places with an unknown third person.

: "I know what Wanda's feeling and I won't stop until I help her."
: ―Monica Rambeau[src]
During her childhood, Rambeau was a very lively and mature person, despite her age, which impressed most people who encountered her. She remained convinced that her friend Carol Danvers had survived, refusing to believe in her death since no solid evidence of it existed, and was proven right when Danvers came back to her six years later. Rambeau did her best to bring back Danvers' memories, nostalgically going through all the memorabilia she had gathered and kept for days to remember her friend. Rambeau could also be quite witty, such as she teased her mother about the example she was setting for her when refusing to leave for a dangerous mission, or when she claimed to Nick Fury that she could be able to build a spaceship to meet up with Danvers in space.
Monica was very close with her mother Maria. When she was resurrected in the Blip, Monica was in denial after finding out that in the five years since her disappearance, Maria had succumbed to her cancer. Knowing the pain of suddenly losing a loved one, she was able to connect and empathize with Wanda Maximoff, despite being attacked by her on two occasions, although those were merely fits of rage from a grieving Avenger who couldn't let go of a life she never had. Her empathy towards Maximoff led her to defy Tyler Hayward's order to terminate her. Despite pleading with Maximoff to let go of her past, Monica would admit to her in the aftermath of the Battle of Westview that if given the power, she would've brought Maria back.
Rambeau was also willing to throw herself into danger in order to protect the people she cared for. When the S.W.O.R.D. rover was unable to penetrate the Anomaly barrier, she used her body instead, exposing herself to the bombardment of radiation that altered her DNA multiple times. When Hayward attempted to shoot and kill Maximoff's children, she used her body to stop the bullets.
== Powers and Abilities ==
=== Powers ===
: "When did you get powers?""I walked through the radiation shielding barrier of a witch's hex, and now I can manipulate and see all wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum."
: ―Carol Danvers and Monica Rambeau[src]
* Enhanced Physiology: After going through the Hex surrounding Westview twice, Rambeau's DNA was rewritten. After going through the barrier a third time, the Hex rewrote her already altered cells, giving Rambeau superhuman abilities.
** Superhuman Strength: She was able to overpower Kree soldiers and even fight evenly against Dar-Benn.
** Superhuman Durability: To be added
** Superhuman Speed: After Rambeau was changed by the Hex’s radiation, she was granted the superhuman ability to transport and move herself at speeds where time would slow down around her. As she fought Kree soldiers in the Khan Residence she continuously used this ability to evade their attacks and combat them.
** Superhuman Agility: To be added
** Superhuman Stamina: Rambeau's stamina was enhanced after her exposure to the Hex's energy, allowing her to exert herself at peak capacity for long periods of time without tiring or showing any sign of fatigue, as shown during her fights with the Kree soldiers and Dar-Benn.
** Superhuman Reflexes: Rambeau is able to augment her reaction time proficiently enough to track passing bullets with her eyes. Her reflexes also allow her to dodge many attacks, shots and blasts from Kree soldiers and Dar-Benn.
** Spectral Vision: After having her cells altered three times, Rambeau gained the ability to perceive various forms of energy beyond the capacity of a regular human, and was able to use this spectral vision to detect mystical energy running through Agatha Harkness's cellar and Ralph Bohner's necklace. When she first got her powers, she could also see the energy coming off of the power lines. Whenever Rambeau's powers utilize, her eyes glow with different colors around her entire iris, turning it into a different color.
** Energy Absorption: While going through the Hex, Rambeau gained the ability to absorb all forms of energy, which causes her eyes to glow blue when in use. After being attacked by Wanda Maximoff, who hoisted her into the air and let her go, Rambeau used this power to absorb the impact of her fall. During the Battle of Westview, she absorbed the kinetic energy of several bullets as they passed through her body, except for one, which was stopped by Billy. After joining S.A.B.E.R., Rambeau learned to redirect the energy she has absorbed against her enemies. While fighting a Kree soldier, she absorbed the energy from his weapon and used it to empower her punch. She showed this again when she absorbed an attack from Dar-Benn's Universal Weapon and shot the energy back in a photon blast. She also used this ability when she absorbed Kamala Khan and Carol Danvers' energy blasts, which activated her energy form.
** Intangibility: During the Battle of Westview, Rambeau managed to phase through multiple gunshots inflicted on her by Tyler Hayward when the latter tried to kill Tommy and Billy Maximoff, which caused her eyes to glow a golden yellow color. She also used this power during the skirmish between the Marvels and Kree warriors at the Khan Residence to phase through a rod a warrior had thrusted into her abdomen.
** Electromagnetic Spectrum Manipulation: To be added
** Invisibility: To be added
** Flight: After Kamala Khan was teleported up to the sky due to switching places with Carol Danvers, Rambeau was urged by Nick Fury to fly up and save her life. She then achieved the ability to fly and narrowly managed to rescue Kamala. She also demonstrated this ability when falling out of a Kree ship and flying away.
** Energy Form: In order to close the hole in space-time that Dar-Benn had spitefully ripped open with the power of the Quantum Bands, Rambeau absorbed energy from both Kamala Khan and Carol Danvers, which activated her energy form. In this empowered state, she was able to fly at super-sonic speeds and project massive amounts of energy in order to close the rift in space-time.
** Energy Projection: Monica can fire beams of electromagnetic energy out of her hands capable of knocking back Kree soldiers. However these beams can be absorbed by Dar-Benn's Quantum band.
=== Abilities ===
* Expert Combatant: Rambeau is skilled in hand-to-hand combat, as she was able to take down multiple S.W.O.R.D. agents during her infiltration with Jimmy Woo and Darcy Lewis. She was also able to pin down Ralph Bohner before liberating him from Agatha Harkness' control. She was also skilled enough to contend with multiple Kree Soldiers and even fought Dar-Benn alongside Kamala Khan and Captain Marvel
* Expert Marksman: Rambeau is skilled in marksmanship, noted in her quick draw of Jimmy Woo's handgun and rapid, accurate fire to the altered outfit that was manipulated from her kevlar vest after entering the Hex. She was also able to fire her energy beams with precision when she had her powers.
* Expert Investigator: While under Wanda Maximoff's spell, Rambeau was able to compromise Maximoff by talking about Pietro Maximoff and Ultron. This broke Maximoff's character and gave Rambeau a little information on what is happening in the Hex. Darcy Lewis, Jimmy Woo, and her were also able to figure out that Tyler Hayward was trying to get Vision.
== Equipment ==
=== Weapons ===
To be added
=== Other Equipment ===
* Bulletproof Vest: Rambeau wore a bulletproof vest when she first entered the Westview Anomaly. As she was brought into the Anomaly, Wanda Maximoff's Chaos Magic transformed the vest into 1960s- and 1970s-era clothing as the era of the WandaVision sitcom that broadcasted Westview's activities changed. When Rambeau was ejected from Westview, the bulletproof vest maintained its appearance as a 1970s-style outfit, even though it continued to be made out of Kevlar material.
=== Vehicles ===
* Humvee: Rambeau used a Humvee to leave the S.W.O.R.D. Response Base with Jimmy Woo after they were kicked off the base. When Wanda Maximoff expanded the Westview Anomaly, Rambeau and Woo used it to escape.
* S.W.O.R.D. Space Rover: Rambeau asked Aly Goodner to put together a Space Rover for S.W.O.R.D., hoping to use it to reenter Westview with her memories in tact so she could talk to Wanda Maximoff. Rambeau attempted to use the Space Rover to enter Westview, but the Westview Anomaly still changed the nature of the Rover, forcing Rambeau to enter on her own.
== Facilities ==
* Rambeau Residence: Rambeau Residence is a house in New Orleans, where she lived with her mother.
* S.W.O.R.D. Headquarters: Three weeks after the Blip, Rambeau went back to work at S.W.O.R.D. to find out Tyler Hayward assumed the position of Acting Director following her mother's death. Though she was eager to return to her duties, Hayward grounded Rambeau, sticking to guidelines that Maria Rambeau instituted in wake of the Snap.
* Parkside: In 2018, Rambeau accompanied her mother to the hospital on one of her last cancer treatments, during which Thanos eliminated half of the population, Rambeau one of them. When the Avengers restored life to the Snap victims, Rambeau woke in the hospital in the same location as she disintegrated in, only to find out her mother survived the Snap but passed three years ago due to her cancer coming back.
* Vision Residence: To be added
* S.W.O.R.D. Response Base: To be added
* Ralph Bohner's House: After Ralph Bohner, under Agatha Harkness' influence, caught Rambeau spying on Agatha's residence, he brought her to his house, where she realized he was not "Pietro Maximoff" and was in fact a Westview citizen under Agatha's mind control. She freed him of her control and proceeded to exit the house.

== Trivia ==
* In the comics, Monica Rambeau is a lieutenant in the New Orleans Harbor Patrol who gained superpowers after being bombarded by extradimensional energy and took on the title of Captain Marvel before changing her name to Photon and eventually Spectrum.
** In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Rambeau shares some similarities to the character Katherine "Kit" Renner, a young girl who was a big fan of Carol Danvers. Danvers affectionately referred to Renner as Lieutenant Trouble due to her tendency of getting into trouble.
* Rambeau is the only of the Marvels who doesn't have a codename, even though Kamala Khan attempts to pitch many of them, such as Firefly, Night Light, Countess Marvel, Mistress Marvel, Doctor Marvel, Doctor Bright, Professor Marvel, Nova, Supernova Girl, Spectrum, Spectrum-Vision, Frequency, Pulsar, and Pulsar Light Lady. Carol also suggested Vision (before remembering it was taken) and Lady of Light.
* Rambeau is a fan of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
== Behind the Scenes ==
