Captain America (Monica Rambeau) (Earth-6303)

## Appearance

A young, African American woman who stands at 5’10”, weighs 130 lbs, has brown eyes and black hair in a short dreadlock style.

She wears a costume similar to the costume her 616 counterpart currently wears, except instead of an 8 point star it is the traditional 5 point star. The black of her jumpsuit is instead blue, though the white is the same. She also wears a red leather trench coat and a red, white and blue headband decorated with silver stars.

## Powers/Abilities

* **Energy Form**: While Monica does share the ability to transform into different energy forms with her 616 counterpart, she is far less powerful in her use of this. Monica can transform herself into any form of energy within the electromagnetic spectrum. Among the many energy forms, she has assumed and is able to control are gamma rays, X-rays, ultraviolet radiation, visible light, electricity, infrared radiation, microwaves, and radio waves. Monica is apparently unlimited by the amount of time that she can remain in her energy-form. She can seemingly only transform herself into one wavelength of energy at a time, yet can switch between them easily. This can be very physically taxing on her, and she prefers to stay in her human form when not fighting.
* **Superhuman Speed**: Monica is capable of moving and reacting at superhuman speeds ranging from the speed of sound to light speed while in her energy form. In her human form she is fairly fast as well, on par with Earth-616's Spider-Man or Captain America.
* **Intangibility**: She can phase through solid matter and certain energy fields depending on their wavelengths.
* **Invisibility**: She is often invisible in most of her forms but can make herself appear visible.
* **Energy Duplication**: When she encounters a new or unfamiliar energy, Monica can often duplicate it given enough time for analysis.
* **Energy Absorption**: She is capable of absorbing energy given her own energy form is of the right type and at the right wavelength.
* **Energy Blasts**: She mentally controls both type and quantity of energy she wishes to transmit. It is not known the maximum amount of energy she can transmit at a given time. Monica can also divert energy (hard light for example) for use as force beams, which have the equivalent of 300 tons of TNT of explosive force.
* **Energy Manipulation**: She can use her ability to control the type and quantity of energy to temporarily create objects out of hard light. The most common object she uses is her shield, which looks like a holographic version of the 616 shield. She can also use this to create force fields.
* **Eidetic Memory**: Ever since she acquired her powers, Monica's photographic memory improved, allowing her to have total recall of everything she sees.

## Skills

* Air Force and Military Training
* Flight Training
* Master Combatant
* Multilingual (English, French, Portuguese, Kree, Shi’ar)

## Weaknesses

* **Physical Strength**: If she is unable to use her powers to assist her then she has the physical strength of an athletic yet average human woman.
* **Endurance**: Her power is not infinite. Switching between forms makes her very tired, and doing it more than three times makes her absolutely exhausted.
* **Magic**: Monica’s powers do not have any defence against magic
* **Opaque Materials/Dark matter**: Due to the nature of her powers both of these can be used to trap her.
* **Black Holes**: Even with her abilities, Monica and connect escape the gravitational pull of a black hole. Many of her past enemies have tried to use this to destroy her.
* **Water**: Due to the nature of her powers and a traumatic experience early in her heroine career, she is useless in water.

## Equipment

* **Shield**: A Captain America Shield made of hard light.

## Personality

A confident, Strong woman with an outgoing personality, she speaks her mind and never backs down. She fights for what she sees as right, no matter the consequences to herself. She is a smart, witty fighter who is easy to like. God help the person who crosses her.

## History

Monica was born in 20XX. Around this time a terrorist group of Skrull extremists, known as HYDRA and led by the villainous Red Skrull, had declared war on earth in a hope to conquer it, hoping to what the Kree or Shi’ar empires could not and legitimizing their terrorist state. Desperate to do her part in the war and inspired by her parents, both of whom were Nova Corp pilots, she enlisted. Unfortunately, she was sidelined from the war, only flying for stunts to help public relations, as she was one of the only black female pilots.

She was given a chance when Steve Rogers, a scientist working on using extra-dimensional energy to create a type of space faring super-soldier, noticed her spirit when she defended a younger colleague, Kamala Khan, from a soldier, John Walker, who had been harassing Kamala for both being Muslim and for having Skrull family. Steve Rogers recommended her for Project Rebirth and became a mentor to her. Sadly, he was shot by a Hydra Sympathizer, Bron Char, who was trying to sabotage the project. Monica received her power, but with Steve, the only person who knew how to work his machine, dead, there was no way to make more super soldiers.

Monica became Captain America and began to fight against HYDRA, becoming an Icon. During this time she began a romantic relationship with a fellow pilot, Carol Cater, and Kamala Khan became her sidekick, her version of Bucky, known as Nomad She started a team of elite soldiers that would fight beside her, known as the Howling Commandos. She defended Earth, Hala, Chandilar, and other worlds, becoming known as a hero across the galaxy. On a mission to defeat HYDRA, Nomad was lost in space, her escape pod to earth going off course and Monica only being able to find the remains later on. The fight against HYDRA eventually came to a head when the Red Skrull attempted to destroy earth by creating a black hole above the earth. Monica was able to stop this, though by destroying the uninhabited planet of Mars and creating a small black hole.

Monica, having depleted her powers doing this, then had to defeat the Red Skrull in hand to hand combat, without using her powers. With her incredible force of will she was able to defeat him once and for all, but soon found that the Skrull ship, now empty of all but Monica and the Red Skrull, had come too close to the black hole and could not escape. After sending a final goodbye to Carol, Monica was pulled into the black hole, which then closed behind her, never to be seen again…

Until Now.

Almost two centuries later, a familiar yet ancient Skrull Ship has suddenly appeared, looking to have come from a wormhole. She waits inside, unaware of the time that has passed and about to discover an entirely new universe.
