Stan wanted me
to create a female superhero that would have the Marvel name
in her character name, and I brought together elements
from other books that were pre-existing, such as Carol Danvers, and gave her an origin story that tied her
into the Captain Marvel series and tried to create
a feminist superheroine. When the strip was started in 1976,
like most of the things Marvel did in '76, it was an attempt to tap into
whatever was going on in the zeitgeist
